Dr. Vijayalakshmi Suresh

What a woman. She serves as the Asst. Prof. of Pediatric Cardiology at the Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology in Bangalore and man, she knows her stuff. More importantly is the way she carries herself. She is the kindest most motherly cardiologist I've ever come across. She even has a twinkle in her eye. She's the type of person who's presence is felt as she walks into a room.

To the left of her desk is a table full of dusty awards that she pays little attention to. They are unnecessary for her job satisfaction. She does her work with the greatest joy and as a professor she trains her students really well in a tough love sort of way.

Its unsurprising that she did her residency at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. I thought it was cool that she wore her saree underneath her white doctors coat. I was also impressed by her Aum ring tone. She is a devout Hindu.

She is simply a saint. She has found joy in life through serving others with her well tamed proficiency in complicated medical science. She is definitely an inspirational character who's lessons I will not forget any time soon.
