This is an extraordinary tale of an ordinary woman. Introducing septuagenarian Devyani Parikh, a Mumbai based retired doctor who is now a famous painter. Born in 1941, Devyani was the only daughter of her engineer father and homemaker mother, and eldest sister to her three engineer brothers. Although engineering was the predominant profession in the family, she found her calling in medicine and studied at Jai Hind College and GS Medical College in Mumbai to become a doctor. After marriage at 23, she went on to join the Central Railway Head Quarter Hospital in Byculla, Mumbai, where she worked relentlessly for over three decades as an anaesthetist. Devyani retired in 2001 from the helm as Medical Director, Central Railway, having successfully led over 600 people.
