Foreword

I have been fortunate to know Shilpa for close to thirty years now. I remember her as the garrulous little tomboy in Green house who was always getting into trouble for not tying her hair correctly. The stunning Punjabi beauty who remained oblivious to the effects that she had on her high school friends when she so much as smiled at them. As Shilpa progressed with her medical education, she blossomed into a mature, resilient and very capable paediatrician.
