Back in the bustling corridors of Sarojini Naidu Medical College in Agra, from 1979 to 1989, there was this quiet, unassuming guy named Anil Sharma. His classmate, Dr. PK Gupta, still chuckles when he recalls those days:

“Arre yaar, Anil was the silent type – always buried in his books, never the one making noise in the mess or leading the ragging sessions. He was my batchmate through MBBS and then MD in Medicine. Born on 16 Th of December 1960. We all called his roommate Rakesh Mishra ‘the smoker’ because, well, he’d light up one cigarette after another during those late-night study marathons! Anil would just sit there, tolerating the haze, flipping through Gray’s Anatomy page by page. I’d tease them: ‘Rakesh, ek din yeh dhuaan tumhe anatomy se zyada yaad rahega!’ But those two were inseparable – poring over every muscle, nerve, and bone in that thick Gray’s like it was the holy grail. Serious students, both of them.”

Early Life and Medical Education

Dr. Anil Sharma, a dedicated physician specializing in internal medicine, completed his MBBS at Sarojini Naidu (S.N.) Medical College, Agra, from 1979 to 1989. He was a batchmate of Dr. P.K. Gupta, who fondly recalls him as a quiet, focused individual with a wheatish complexion, average height and build—someone who seemed taller among shorter friends and shorter among the taller ones.

Anil stood out for his singular passion: studies. While many in the hostel indulged in the usual college distractions, Anil steered clear. He shared a room in the KGB wing of G.B. Pant Hostel with Rakesh Mishra, a more outgoing type who enjoyed smoking and drinking. One evening, as Dr. Gupta remembers dropping by their room, Rakesh was lighting up a cigarette, offering one to visitors with a grin: “Arre, ek try kar lo, tension bhag jaayegi exams ki!” Anil, buried in his books under the dim hostel light, just shook his head without looking up. “Nahin yaar, mujhe toh ye Harrison padhna hai,” he replied calmly, turning another page.

Anil wasn’t drawn to the cultural scene either—unlike Sudeep, who was always rehearsing for college events, or Karanveer, who poured his energy into editing the college magazine. And while Dr. Gupta himself was out on the cricket field most afternoons, sweating it out under the Agra sun, Anil rarely joined. “Cricket? Nahin, time waste hai,” he’d say politely when invited. No table tennis in the common room, no late-night card games—just meals in the mess, a quick chai at Jaggi’s stall (the go-to spot for hot, spicy tea), and back to the books.

Dr. Gupta chuckles recalling a typical mess hall scene: “We’d all be arguing about the latest match or some hostel prank, but Anil would sit quietly, eat his roti-sabzi, and head out. ‘Kal test hai,’ he’d mutter as an excuse, even if there wasn’t one!”

His discipline paid off. Anil pursued and earned his MD in General Medicine, emerging as a steadfast doctor committed to his craft, much like the focused student his batchmates remember from those formative years in Agra. He is now professor department of medicine F H Medical college Firozabad.

Dr. Anil Sharma completed his MBBS and postgraduate MD in Internal Medicine at SNMC Agra, emerging as a dedicated physician. Today, decades later, he’s settled in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh (PIN 201014), quietly practicing medicine and helping patients navigate their health challenges – much like he navigated those intense anatomy sessions back in the day.
