Good morning world! It's a beautiful day today. After working under my senior doctors I have finally gained enough experience to work by myself. Yes finally today is the day when I'll get to handle patients by myself, take in cases by myself and I'm super excited. Mom and dad are sooo proud of me. After working so hard this day has finally come. Doctor Gauri Sharma are you ready for these new beginnings? I smiled at myself in the mirror before checking that I had everything. Bag, diary, ID card, my coat, my laptop, car keys and phone. All check. I rushed downstairs and hugged my dad who was sat at the dining table eating his breakfast and reading his newspaper.

"Good morning princess. Aaj aap bohat khush lag rahe go?" Papa said with a smile on his face.

"Of course my bachaa is going to be happy. Today she will officially have her own cabin and her own patients. My daughter has accomplished so much at such a young age and I couldn't be more proud." Mum said as she walked in from the kitchen with a tray full of breakfast for me.

"Mumma it's yours and dads encouragement that kept me going. I've always wanted to be a doctor like you mumma. Everytime you would take me to work with you when we had holidays from school, I would look up to you and now finally I have become a doctor just like you." I told mumma whilst hugging her.

"Aray wait for me! I also want a hug." Dad stood up and joined us for a hug.

"Waah! Mum and Dad Mum and Dad naa rahai. Chutki chutki naa rahi. Matlab just because I'm married you guys forgot me in this family hug." We heard a voice from behind and a big smile formed on my face.

"Jiji! Aaap yahaan?" I questioned Anika di. She ran to join the hug. After a few moments we broke the hug.

"How could I not come? After all it is my chutki's first day of officially being Doctor Gauri Sharma. I'm so proud of you sweety. I had to come and see you and I brought you a gift too."

"Really? What? Tell me?" I jumped in excitement.

"We also have a gift for you sweetheart." Mum and Dad spoke.

"Yay gifts!!! How exciting!" I jumped with joy.

Mum went in the other room and bought a gift bag with her. I pulled out a box which was beautifully wrapped in a pretty wrapping paper. I unwrapped the gift and what I saw next made my eyes water. It was a frame which read "Doctor Gauri Sharma" and the date that I had graduated. It also had a little quote underneath it which read "A hero is any person intent on making a better place for all people, and intent on making all people better. Good luck on your journey of becoming a real life hero for many people out there. Our blessings, prayers, love and support are always with you. We love you always, mum and dad."

This was a family ritual to receive a frame like this. When Anika di had graduated as a dentist and she got her first ever job as an independent dentist, mum and dad had gifted a frame like this to her. Dad had also received a similar frame when he became a dentist from his parents too. When mum opened her own private clinic, Dad had gifted a frame to her too. It was a family ritual and I was so proud and happy that I had my own frame.

"Thank you Maa and Papa. This is too cute. I promise I will do my job to the best of my ability."

"Okay okay enough emotional moments. My turn to give the gift." Anika di spoke.

"Okay so give it to me then." I asked like a little kid.

"Aray I'm waiting for your jiju. He's taking so long. He said he'll park the car and come. Pataa nahi kahaan reh gaye." Anika di started complaining.

"Here I am!" Jiju walked in with lots of balloons, a box in his hand and a couple of gift bags. After putting the gifts down, he did his ever so famous hair flick. Jiju's got swag!

"Shivaay aap kahaan reh gaye thai? What took you so long?" Anika di questioned Shivaay.

"Calm down Anika. I was actually having a little chat with Ram Uncle (The Sharma families watchman). I hadn't seen him in ages that's why. Maa, papa, kaise ho aap?"

"Absolutely fine dear. How are you?" Dad asked Shivaay jiju.

"Haan beta hum bilkul theek hai. Aap kaise ho? I hope Anika doesn't trouble you too much." Maa asked him.

"I'm doing great. Anika kaa naam hi hai mujhe trouble karnaa. Nothing new." Shivaay jiju spoke to which we all giggled but Anika di gave him deadly stares.

"Shivaay app ko toh mai..." Anika di spoke with gritted teeth.

"Bas bas bas, you guys fight later. Can I please have my gifts?" I interrupted.

"Ohhh yes yes!" Anika di spoke as she went to Shivaay and gave me a couple of gift bags whilst Shivaay jiju gave me the balloons and a box. I put the balloons on the side. They were personalised balloons with a little message saying "All the best Doctor Gauri Sharma." How cute! I then opened the gift bags. There was a cute mug in there and a box of survival kit which had lots of sweets, chocolates and other little things.

"Eeeeks this is sooo cute!!! You guys know me sooo well! Such thoughtful gifts." I then proceeded to open the box. There was a yummy cake in there decorated beautifully.

"Woah such a beautiful cake!!!" I spoke jumping in excitement.

"We're glad you loved the presents. Now let's cut the cake come on!" Shivaay jiju took out a plastic knife from one of the bags and gave it to me. I placed the cake on the dining table. Anika di lit up some candles. I closed my eyes and made a wish for this journey to go smoothly. I then blew the candles and cut the cake. I fed papa and Maa and then Anika di And Shivaay jiju. We then all sat down for breakfast.

"You know Gauri I have no idea how you became a doctor. Myjhe toh blood dekhtai hi michmichi hoti hai." Anika di replied whilst relishing the yummy idli sambhaar mum had made.

"And di I don't know how you became a dentist. I mean isn't it gross looking into people's mouth and sometimes even pulling their teeth out!" I expressed my dislikes.

"And how do you deal with surgeries. Matlab in the future you'll have to do surgery on people, Matlab you'll have to cut them open and ewwwhh mujhe toh sochati hi michmichi ho rahi hai." Anika di spoke.

"Mumma tell di she's giving me michmichi feels now." I complained like a 5 year old.

"Haan toh papa even she is talking bad about the job of a dentist." Anika di started complaining to Dad. She was definitely daddy's girl.

"I wasn't talking bad about it. I just said that I wouldn't feel comfortable looking into people's teeth." I further explained myself with a sad face.

"Olaay meri choti gussa hogayi. Sorry." Anika di side hugged me and spoke in a childish tone whilst I carried on complaining about her to my parents.

"Bas bhi karo. No job in this world is better than another, remember that! All jobs play a crucial part in everyday life. A doctor is just as important as a dentist, but so is the job of a teacher, a cleaner, a pilot, an airhostess, a salesman, a lawyer, a chef..." Mum started to explain to us.

"Businessman too Maa!" Shivaay jiju interrupted cutely.

"Of course business man too! Especially the ones like you! Hardworking and highly motivated!" Mum praised Shivaay to which he side hugged her.

"Yes girls. Anika is amazing in her job and Gauri I'm sure you will be amazing in your field too as long as we give in our 100% and never give up no matter how small or big the job is." Dad explained to us to which we smiled and thanked him.

"Acha Shivaay aap koh kyaa lagtaa hai, doctor or dentist?" Anika bhabhi curiously asked jiju the question.

" I'm sat with a family who all have a career in medicine. Doctors and Dentists are both amazing. I can't choose. If I do choose, I'll surely get into trouble. On one side it's my wife and father-in-law and on the other it's my pretty sister-in-law urf saali saahibaa and mother-in-law. No way am I getting into this argument! You guys carry on!" Shivaay jiju spoke.

"Phir bhi Shivaay, if you had to choose to be a doctor or a dentist, then what would you choose?" Anika di further asked him.

"I'm happy being a businessman. I don't wanna be a doctor or dentist. Woh kaam aap log karo." Shivaay jiju spoke with a smirk.

After a fun filled breakfast, it was nearly time for me to leave. I wanted to be there early. I hugged mum and dad and I left for the hospital. Shivaay jiju too left for his office and he dropped Anika di at her clinic on the way. Once I got to the hospital, I was welcomed with a big smile by the receptionist Riya. She told me to go see Dr. Aman Malhotra. He was the one who I've been working under. Dr.Aman is only 26 years old but he has a big name in the country. He is a very good friend of mine and has helped me a lot in my process of learning. I have learnt a lot from him. He is like my idol. I knocked on his cabin door.

"May I come in Dr. Aman?" I politely spoke.

"Of course you can Gauri. Oops Doctor Sharma. You don't need to knock on my cabin anymore. After all we are colleagues now. Come on in." He spoke with a smile. I smiled back at him and walked in. I took a seat opposite him.

"Thank you Doctor Aman. Aapnai bulaayaa thaa humai?"

"First of all you can call me Aman. I'm not your senior anymore. We are colleagues. And yes I wanted to talk to you about some formalities and then I'll show you your cabin." I nodded and he went through all the formalities with me. Once that was done, he showed me my cabin. The door had my name plate on it "Dr. Gauri Sharma". That was such a proud moment for me. He showed me around and then left. I walked in my cabin and put my things in their right place. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. There was a sudden knock on the door. The person asked whether they could come in and I gave permission. A nurse walked in with some files.

"Good morning Doctor Sharma." The nurse spoke with a smile.

"Good morning Priya, kaise ho app?"

"Hum theek hain ma'am. Dr Aman has chosen me to work as your assistant."

"Wow that's great! Welcome to the team Priya. Happy to have you as my assistant." She showed me some files and appointment list for the day. I went through it and read the case files. One by one many patients came and I treated them. It was hectic I must say but it felt so good too. Helping a patient recover bought a smile on my face. Just like that my first day finished. I went home, spoke to my parents about my day, had dinner, worked on some cases and then went to sleep. This was starting to become my daily routine and I absolutely enjoyed this new experience.
