Happy Birthday, Dr. Sunil Gulati! As your old college buddy from those unforgettable days at S.N. Medical College in Agra, Dr. PK Gupta here, I couldn’t resist putting together this little tribute to you on your special day. We’ve come a long way since those late-night study sessions and endless cups of chai, haven’t we? Let me take you—and anyone reading this—down memory lane, weaving in the story of your remarkable life as a dedicated physician in Jabalpur. I’ll keep it lively, with a dash of our shared nostalgia, because who wants a dry bio when we can make it feel like we’re chatting over rounds again?

Picture this: It’s the late 1970s in Agra, the city of the Taj Mahal, but for us medical students, the real monument was S.N. Medical College. You strolled onto campus in 1979, fresh-faced and full of ambition, ready to tackle the grueling world of MBBS. I remember our first anatomy class like it was yesterday. You turned to me during a particularly tough dissection and said, “PK, if we can figure out this mess of nerves, we can handle anything life throws at us!” Little did we know, those words would ring true for the next decade.

From 1979 to 1989, we were inseparable study partners, grinding through lectures, practicals, and those infamous night shifts. You were always the one with the sharp mind for internal medicine, acing exams while the rest of us scrambled. By the mid-80s, you’d earned your MBBS, but you weren’t done—you dove straight into MD in Medicine, graduating around 1989. Our group chats (well, back then it was just huddles in the hostel) were filled with your passion for patient care. “Medicine isn’t just science,” you’d say with that trademark grin, “it’s about listening to people’s stories and healing their worries.” I nodded along, but secretly admired how you balanced the books with a bit of fun—remember sneaking out for those street-side golgappas after exams?

After college, you headed to Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, where you’ve built an incredible career as a respected MD in Medicine. Registered with the Madhya Pradesh Medical Council since 1986 (number MP-29980/1986) 20 , you’ve clocked over 34 years of experience, becoming a pillar in general medicine. Patients flock to you at places like Baderia Metro Prime Hospital and Metro Cancer Hospital in Damoh Naka 0 5 , where your expertise in treating everything from routine ailments to complex cases has earned you rave reviews. As a member of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) in Jabalpur 20 , you’ve not just practiced medicine but mentored younger docs, always emphasizing compassion over quick fixes.

Born on May 21, 1959 —wait, hold on, today’s November 21, but hey, every day feels like a celebration when you’re saving lives, right? Maybe we’re toasting a half-birthday or just the joy of old friendships. You’ve made your home in the vibrant Adhartal area of Jabalpur, at 624 Ram Nagar 20 , where your clinic has been a beacon for countless families. Over the years, you’ve specialized as a medicine consultant, blending sharp diagnostics with that warm bedside manner we all remember from Agra.

One funny story I have to share: Back in ’85, during our MD rotations, you misdiagnosed a dummy case in a mock exam (hey, it happens!), and the professor grilled you. But you bounced back with, “Sir, even the best doctors learn from mistakes—consider this my tuition fee!” The whole class erupted in laughter, and you aced the real thing. That’s the Sunil I know—resilient, humorous, and always growing.

Today, as you turn another year wiser (even if the calendar says otherwise), I raise a virtual toast to you, my friend. From those Agra hostels to Jabalpur’s bustling hospitals, you’ve embodied what it means to be a healer. Keep inspiring, Dr. Gulati—here’s to many more years of health, happiness, and perhaps a reunion over more golgappas. If anyone’s reading this and needs a top-notch physician, look no further than Sunil. Happy Birthday, old pal! Give me a call sometime—Dr. PK Gupta signing off with a smile.
