Quotes
-
As an author, one must be enormously interested in humans and their psyche and attitude towards the world and each other in a way different from the mechanically interested doctor who patches and repairs and understands diseases based on test tubes and X-rays. Psychiatry bases its understanding on insights into how we are wired mentally, when it goes wrong due to experiences etc. This humanistic worldview is reflected in that specialty. It borders very close to literature and general human interest. It was very natural for me to combine these two when I realized I wouldn't make a big career as a doctor.
