Following the introduction of the chief guest by Dr Sumanth D, the chief guest Dr Ramadas Nayak delivering his witty speech said, “No matter what the circumstances are in your life, always try to be happy, because there is nothing better and bigger than happiness”.
He further said, “You need to follow and believe in the three C’s- 1) Don’t criticize anybody, because everyone is correct. You need to think about yourself before pointing at others or criticizing them; 2) Don’t try to change anybody, including your spouse. Remember it is hard to change your spouse, and if you try to, you will land in arguments; 3) Don’t compare yourself with anybody. Everyone is unique, and they have their own status. The important thing in life is positive thinking. Your thinking is your future. Therefore think positively, think of your better future and not the past. And also when you change, the world also changes. Make a change and make a difference”.
In His presidential address Fr Richard Coelho said, “Today’s chief guest has given us all the tonic to remain happy, and enlightened us as to how our personality should be. This year the Diocese of Mangaluru has chosen the theme ‘Year of Life’, and therefore we need to learn a lot of health tips. These days we are all addicted to electronic gadgets, which ruin our health. We need to use these gadgets wisely, and not abuse them. Lab medicine has become an important part in our life. Mistakes/errors do happen, but as professional lab technicians we need be careful and try to avoid making mistakes, because it will lead to bad name to you and the hospital/institution. I am happy to note that since 10 years the dept of medical Laboratory Medicine have been successfully organizing CME’s, and even today, it is house packed. Best of luck and gain the good knowledge from the CME”.

‘Always Be Happy in Life! Also Never Try to Change Anyone, Even Your Spouse‘ – Dr.Nayak
Sounds like Dr.Nayak is a veteran war horse who has fought far too many domestic battles and eventually given up. I can only empathise. Moderns spouses are more often than not ಕ್ಷಣ ಚಿತ್ತಂ, ಕ್ಷಣ ಪಿತ್ತಂ.
