Tribute to Dr Indu Degrulker 665.

Tribute to Dr. Indu Deglurkar 665 Today, I am honored to pen a tribute to an inspiring personality from the medical profession—Dr. Indu Degrulker. She is one of the few women who has achieved her ambitious goal of becoming a cardiac thoracic surgeon, which is truly laudable. Many individuals have dreams and aspirations in their childhood but may not achieve them due to various reasons. However, Dr. Indu aspired to become a surgeon and achieved her dream, which is truly remarkable. In such a highly competitive environment with rigorous selection procedures, her success is another inspiring story. The cardiac thoracic profession, historically dominated by men, has seen very few women enter the field, but Dr. Indu has broken that barrier. Her accomplishment is a lovely and inspiring story for all. Indians are acknowledged for their contributions in all walks of life on the global stage, and Dr. Indu is no exception. Not only has she made her family proud, but she has also brought honor to India by occupying a significant position in the field of cardiac surgery as a female surgeon. Her recent interview on YouTube, which garnered thousands of views and positive comments, is very much appreciated by all who watched it. Before concluding, I am happy to mention that Dr. Indu is my cousin, and our entire family is extremely proud of her achievements. I had the pleasure of meeting her three decades ago in Vijayawada, where I was working before her departure to the UK for her studies. I wish Dr. Indu, her husband Dr. Degrulker, and their son a bright, beautiful, and healthy life filled with success in both their personal and professional lives. Today, I am truly happy to pay tribute to this impressive, inspiring personality who not only achieved her dreams but has also become a role model for others. K. Ragavan 6-6-2021
