A Veterinarian’s Journey in India and Abroad is a great book for all in their journey of life. The most common definition of a journey is “something suggesting travel or passage from one place to another.” Yet another definition is “a person’s experience of changing or developing from one state of mind to another.” The second definition applies to this book. It details the experiences and learnings of a veterinarian in India and various countries in Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean.
In the journey of life, everyone faces ups and downs. These stages during your journey give you an opportunity to learn, especially to correct the “downs.” This can be done by trying again and again with vigorous hard work and the principles of honesty and Dr. Sharma shows you how through his experiences.
Countries differ in terms of climate, terrain, livelihood, people and governments. The author has describes aspects of the countries where he has worked and gives insights on how to deal with the people of those countries. The book also emphasizes the ways in which Indian veterinarians can raise and maintain the prestige of India.
