Some days are unstructured and filled with chaos. And then there are even days, I do nothing. Nothing at all. All this, in the midst of attending my virtual classes, as a student of public health. When I think about the journey so far, it has been nothing but a quest to look deep within my own self, surprisingly. My work as and intern @Nada India Primarily, my work in the NGO Nada India Foundation involves preparing and conducting training sessions, as a peer supporter.

I recently became a medical intern at Maulna Azad Medical College Delhi and the dream for truly making a difference in our society has started to become a reality with the help of this amazing opportunity of running a month long campaign on passive smoking in children, called, "No Tobacco Tuesdays for Tots". Dr.Vrinda Pahuja: A Young Medical Intern and Volunteer
