My aunt tells me everytime i see her that i should visit a foreign country every year . Basically she is very fond of travelling and like many people has visiting foreign countries among the top to do things in life . Though i have to travel extensively in india due to my nature of work and has visited Germany , Kuwait and Sri Lanka as foreign travel after much introspection i realised travelling abroad is not one of the top things i wish to do . I enjoy my books my movies and my food compared to foreign travel . Not to be misunderstood, its not one of my top priority thats all . Frankly i get more thrill out of seeing a great movie compared with visiting the bmw museum for instance . (i have done both however )
Today while i was reading from an autobiography of a famous scientist , i read that she had visited St Georges hospital london during her research and mentioned about the hide of a cow called Blossom framed in their library . Suddenly visiting london has become in one of my priority list . Not that i suddenly was highly interested in seeing the thames but i was interested in visiting St Georges hospital ,London . The cow Blossom is one of the reasons many of us are still alive and not afflicted by the terrible disease called small pox who killed countless people till its vaccine was discovered by Dr Jenner . And our Blossom the cow was the one in which he experimented to develop the vaccine . Just like a devout religious go to their place of worship many thousand kilometres away i wish to visit london to visit many hospitals like St.Georges Hospital established in 1733 which carry history . This same hospital had doctors like John Hunter who is the father of modern surgery and Dr Gray who first published the greatest book on human anatomy called Grays Anatomy which remains the bible of human anatomy even to this day .And he published this great book of 750 pages while he was just 31 years old . This book has to be seen to be believed as it is so exhaustive that even the smallest nerve or blood vessel is shown named and described . i cannot remain but in awe at the painstaking research Dr Gray did for his book or the meticulous experiments Dr Jenner did in eradicating smallpox .
And like a pilgrim i have decided i would visit Britain at least to see St Georges Hospital .And yes the Tower of London, the Thames etc i will definitely see and enjoy but my reason will remain to see the cows remains : of Blossom who remains there as a relic of mans fight against disease and the great doctors who did research and enabled us to lead healthier lives .
