A very young and dashing Dr. Sateesh Karnik with his German Shepherd dog.
. Our return trip to India this month (we went to Northern India last June 2011) was made more memorable because of our gracious hosts, Dr. Sateesh Karnik and his wonderful wife, Madhuri. We felt right at home with them – pampered would be a mild term to describe how they treated us during our entire stay in Maharashtra (Pune, Aurangabad and Mumbai).

. Sateesh is a friend way back in 1995 when we shared the same room during our postgraduate training program in Tel Aviv, Israel (I was in Trauma Surgery, while he was in Laparosopic Surgery). We maintained contact through the years via email (thank god for emails!) – and shared photos as well.

Sateesh, Urszula, Ricky and Avinash: 16 years after
. This month, we had the opportunity to reunite with other friends and colleagues from the same training program in Israel – Dr. Urszula Stawinska (Pediatric with Family Medicine Practice) of Lodz, Poland and Dr. Avinash Deshmukh (ENT specialist) also from Pune in India. Let these photos show you how we bonded …

That's my favorite gulab gamun in Madhuri's hand!
. We hope to meet up again in a couple of years in Turkey. And we hope that more from our batch would be there to celebrate the great and memorable time we had in Tel Aviv. To Sateesh, Toda Raba!
Some serious talks with his Pune colleagues.
Until we meet again, Baloo!
