You do not go to college just to be embedded in books. Colleges are for grooming your personality also. It is safe place to experiment with your personality, figure out important aspects about yourself and make some great lifelong friends and mentors.

It is the mixture of all these things that makes the college life complete.

That’s a great title—“MBBS Beyond Books - Navigating Friendships, Fights, Competition and Finding Yourself”—it suggests a candid, relatable take on the life of a medical student beyond just academics. If you’re working on a blog post, book, talk, or article with this theme, here’s a possible outline or introduction you could use:

Introduction:

Medical school is often portrayed as a relentless pursuit of knowledge—thick textbooks, sleepless nights, and endless exams. But beyond the books lies a deeply human journey: one of friendships forged in stress and late-night coffee, silent rivalries and open conflicts, and the ongoing challenge of figuring out who you are in a world that rarely slows down.

In “MBBS Beyond Books,” we’ll explore what truly defines the med school experience—not just academic achievement, but the emotional, social, and psychological rollercoaster that shapes you into more than just a doctor.

Achieving independence for me:-

I evolved beyond white robe when I stepped out of India to study medicine.
Being a journey itself, I was living 2 experiences together

  1. Medical journey
  2. Journey of independence

So through these years that I spend , I not only learnt how to dissect human organ but also how to dissect veggies.
Learnt beyond the books… Budgeting, cooking and exploring.
For me it was a great journey that helped me sharpen my mind and polished my confidence.
