FOR YOU, ON YOUR BIRTHDAY
Hey Hashmukh,
Happy birthday, Patrick.
I’ll let you have both names today. Seems only fair.
I wanted to give you something that had a bit of thought behind it. Your favourites, your photos, a few jokes you’d recognise. Something you could open and know I’d remembered.
We haven’t met in person yet, but I’m really glad we became friends. The random conversations, the laughter, the Patrick moments.
I hope this year is good to you. I hope the work you’re putting into MBBS brings you closer to the doctor you want to be. I hope there are races and innings worth cheering for, and ordinary days with something to laugh about.
And I hope you look after yourself through all of it. Sleep well. Take a break when you need one.
Keep being Hashmukh. Keep the Patrick bits, too.
I’m cheering for you.
Manarth
