Padma Venkatraman Quotes

I Feel The American's Eyes On Me, Looking As Though I'm More Than An Amputee, A Number, A Chore. He Crosses Over To Me, His Strides Large, A Broad Smile On His Lips. "Veda? Did I Say Your Name Right?" "Yes, Doctor." "Call Me Jim. Please." His Left Hand In His Pocket, He Holds His Right Hand Out To Me. As Though We're Equals. "Thank You, Doctor - I Mean - Just Jim," I Say. He Chuckles. "Haven't Done Anything Yet." He Has. No Older Man Ever Invited Me To Shake Hands. No Other Adult Ever Asked Me To Call Them By Name. He Even Said "please" Although I'm A Patient.
