Dr And Major Sudarsan Chavala

By

Bobby Cinema

Synopsis:

Dr. Sudarsan Chavala is enjoying his retirement. He was born and raised in India and now works as an Optometrist at Maryville Eye Clinic. He lives in a big house at 934 South Dunn in Maryville MO, in the heart of Kansas City, with his wife, Girija. His son Sai needs help as an Optometrist in Fort Hood in Dallas, Texas. Like his father, he works as an optometrist at the military base. Sudarsan and Sai both moonlight as Central Intelligence Agency operatives. Sudarsan Chavala went to Harvard University medical school and graduated in 1972. He also enrolled in ROTC training while he was at Medical School. He met his wife Girija through his brother-in-law, Prakash, who introduced them. They got married after he graduated from medical school. He did his internship at Fort Leavenworth medical center as a second lieutenant. After his first year there, he realized he wanted to join the Green Berets- a unit specializing in counterinsurgency. So he asked his superior if he could get him a recommendation to get into Fort Bragg. He told his wife that if he got accepted and was able to complete his training, he might have to go to Vietnam. Girija was shocked at first. But understood and supported his passion for serving.

Sudarsan got a recommendation from Colonel William Jameson to train at Fort Bragg; after a couple of months of training. Sudarsan shipped off to Vietnam and did some green beret missions. He did search and rescue missions on soldiers captured by North Vietnamese Soldiers and eventually became a war hero. He went to Vietnam three times in three years while his wife was living in Fort Leavenworth, so they kept writing to each other as often and as best as possible. He was awarded the distinguished service cross; and moved up to Majors in three years. After returning home to Leavenworth, he worked with the CIA missions in Vietnam and was on call whenever they needed him. Anyway, Sudarsan, alongside Girija, decided to stay as a medical doctor for the army. They had a son named Sai Chavala in 1977 while he was doing his fellowship. He finished his residency and fellowship in four years in 1978. Their son, Sai Sudarsan moved to Maryville, MO to begin his eye doctor practice with a friend from Harvard medical school Kanthi Havaladar. They were longtime friends. They both went to college in New Delhi; both decided to join the ROTC. Both became members of the green berets and worked for the CIA as part-time operatives before returning to the USA. In fact, Dr. Havaladar got him a recommendation from the medical board as a new eye doctor. Sudarsan lived a quiet life in Maryville, MO, until his son, Sai, followed in his footsteps as an eye doctor, joined the ROTC in UMKC, and became an eye doctor at Fort Hood. Sai moved up the ranks to Lieutenant Colonel. He was recruited by the CIA last year and worked as an operative. The person who recruited Sai worked with his father as an operator and has been promoted to deputy director. Father and some were both needed to save an old friend who used to be in the CIA and was captured by terrorists. The old friend happens to be Kanthi Havaladar, who needed rescue. Sudarsan was reluctant to do this mission, but he was compelled to do it since it was his best friend. Sai formed a team to help his father rescue his old friend. Can they do it? Only time can tell.

The funeral of Dr. Sudarsan Chavala is in Bram’s funeral home in Maryville, Kansas City. Everyone at the funeral home listens intently to Dr. Chavala’s son, Sai, as he delivers his father’s eulogy. Dr. Sudarsan Chavala’s wife, Girija, is mourning her husband’s death. Sai speaks to many mourners. His wife, Susmita, and two children, eight-year-old Lekha; and six-year-old Naveen, are among the crowd.

Sai speaks about his father. Among those in mourning are two Army Generals, five Colonels, three US senators, and five members of the congress whose eyes Dr. Sudarsan Chavala treated and who served with him before he left for private practice. Everyone spoke highly of him at his funeral, and now it is Sai’s turn. He is on the podium and says,

"I am Sai Chavala, I am Dr Sudarsan Chavala’s only son. Anyway, my father worked hard all his life and helped many people. He even gave money to the less fortunate. He was indeed an honest worker. There was something about him that I thought I’d never told anyone about. It might sound too fantastic a story, and no one would probably believe me, but I got permission from my late father’s former commanding officer to tell this story. This means; I have full clearance to tell the story. But whatever you guys think, whether you believe this story is fictional or not, is entirely up to you. Just know that this was taken from my father’s journal; it’s about something no one ever knew about him. It all started when my father was in his final year in medical school at UMKC.

Sai continues with the eulogy, My father was born on February 2, 1943, in Taranagar and grew up in New Delhi, India, where his father Ajay runs a very successful chain market called Chavala. His mother, Lakshmi, died when Sudarsan was only two years old. He had six brothers and three sisters. He was the youngest child. He was born in Taranagar before moving to New Delhi at age two.

* * *

Sudarsan spoke to his family in the school hallway, and Ajay told his son, I am proud of you, Son. You did it.

Sudarsan told his father, Thank you, Father, but you’re not going to give me another lecture about my settling down again, are you?

Ajay answered his son, No, of course not. I told your brothers to go to college and make something with their lives. They did; they all went to college and got their master’s degrees in engineering and medicine. Sairam wants to be a filmmaker, but I told him to go to college and learn the tricks of the trade first. That is what he is doing.

Sudarsan said, You mean go to college or film school.

His father answered, Yes, but I think he will fail, and trust me, he does not have the brain or willpower to become a filmmaker. Why do I want you and your siblings to get degrees in engineering and medicine? Because those pay the bills, I would not care if one gets a law degree. But filmmaking is a bad idea.

Sudarsan tells Ajay, I understand why you encouraged me to go to medical school, and Sai Ram did get into film school and graduated. The doors were not opening for him, so he decided to return and get his engineering degree that pays the bills.

Ajay tells Sudarsan, Sai Ram wanted me and the family to invest in this movie that he was making, and we told him no; because it would fail, and he has no brain or vision to get distribution or get into film festivals. That is why he decided to go back and get his engineering degree because it does not pay the bills, and the odd jobs will not help him. I am proud he listens to me, and I am proud of you for listening to me. Always remember that education is critical to get a good job!

Sudarsan was upset about what his father said about his lack of encouragement, but he knew his father knew what was best for them and that maybe he was right.

Father, you were right, and thanks for pointing SaiRam and me in the right direction.

I am proud of you, Son. Ajay and Sudarsan hugged for a minute and let go.

I am going to talk to Khanthi for a minute. He and I have to discuss our plans after graduation.

Okay, Sudarsan. Go ahead.

Sudarsan walks into the middle of the hallway and sees Khanti Havaladar talking to his family.

* * *

My father had a childhood friend named Dr. Khanthi Havaladar whom he knew back in New Delhi. They both got full scholarships to UMKC to become doctors. But it wasn’t the scholarship they used to talk about all the time. When my father and Dr. Havaladar took American citizenship classes in India, they heard about the ROTC. The Reserves Officer Training School is where college students go into training to become military officers attending university classes. Anyway, the brochure and their teacher said that only American citizens are eligible to attend. But their teacher is friends with the United States Ambassador of India, and he was a guest speaker in their school, so he helped pull some strings to get them into the ROTC program and in the UMKC. He also helped them pass the American citizenship test so they could be eligible to attend. They passed all the exams. And the ROTC even made an exception to let my father and Dr. Havaladar take the training while attending classes in medical school. They had a lot on their plates, but they did it.

* * *

Sudarsan taps Khanthi on the shoulder. Khanthi turns around and says, Hello, Sudarsan. Did you get the chance to say hello to my parents yet?

Sudarsan answers, I did before the ceremony started. Anyway, I wanted to tell you about our deployment; we have not told our parents about the ROTC yet. We just got our commission as second lieutenants. And we haven’t told them that we’ll be heading out tomorrow. I don’t know how they are going to take this news.

Khanthi says, They would disown us if we tell them, even when we told them before we left India. Do you think they would let us join the military in the first place? They’ll be worried sick about sending us off to war.

We wanted to go into ROTC, see the world and be part of the action. We were John Wayne fans, remember? Since when we saw him in that war movie The Longest Day. He was a great war hero.

He is just a supporting actor in that movie.

Who cares about that? He is in that movie; whether he was lead or a supporting cast, what counts is that he is in that movie, and he’s the reason why I’ve joined the ROTC.

Well, they’d be shipping us off to Vietnam soon. The war out there is bad. But we don’t have to worry. Colonel Truman said that we won’t have to go to the front lines just yet. We’ll just work in the medical office. They told us that we have to be at Fort Riley tomorrow. That’s where they’re going to tell us where we’re going.

I know how my father will react about my joining the army. He is a strict pacifist and did not want me and my brothers to join the military. Not even in the American military! But we have to tell them; whether they’d take the news well or not.

We better pray that they won’t disown us.

That’s the least of my worries.

* * *

My father and Dr. Havaladar were about to bring their family to tell them the truth. I am not going into details on how they took it. But Sudarsan and Khanthi brought the family into an empty UMKC auditorium after the ceremony. Safe to say that they didn’t take it well at first. Both families looked very upset. But it was better than they expected, especially for my dad’s family. At least they are still proud of them graduating from med school.

Dad and Dr. Havaldar went to Fort Riley and got their shipping assignments. After my grandfather and the rest of my dad’s and the Havaldar family cooled off, they gave them their blessings to reach their dreams. They assented to their desire to work in the medical department of a military base. The next day, my dad and Dr. Havaladar visited Fort Riley and met Colonel Truman in his office. They were about to find out about the details of their deployment.

* * *

Colonel Truman was working on his desk when the intercom buzzed. He answered, What is it, Sergeant?

Sergeant Thea Howard, Truman’s right hand, said through the intercom, Second Lieutenants Chavala and Havaladar are here to see you, Colonel Truman.

Send them in.

Sudarsan and Khanthi entered the office. They stood up straight and in attention in the presence of the Colonel.

At ease, gentlemen, good morning!

Sudarsan and Khanthi both greeted him with a good morning.

Have a seat, he said as he gestured to the seats in front of his desk. Sudarsan and Khanthi sat down on their chairs and listened to what Colonel Truman told them.

Lieutenant Chavala and Lieutenant Havaladar, I have looked at your file. You both did well on the drills, and the procedures. You were training for Military procedures while taking full classes in medicine for six years. We’ve decided to let you finish your medical studies which would look good on your resume. Now you guys are fully commissioned officers, and you want to work in the medical department of whichever base I assign you. He paused for a few seconds, and then continued, Is this correct, Chavala?

Yes, sir, when we told our families that we went to the ROTC, they were upset at first, but after some time, they were proud of us for wanting to serve and protect the citizens of the United States of America. Although they always wanted us to become doctors, they were just thrilled that we had finished school. But now we’re ready to serve in the military.

You can do your internship and residency in the army hospitals that I assign you to. You will be assigned in different bases.

They both looked at each other, looking uncertain. Sudarsan asked, Different bases, Sir?

Colonel Truman gave them their deployment orders. They both looked at each of their papers. When it was confirmed that they wouldn’t be working together, they both looked upset.

Lieutenant Havaladar, you will be stationed here at Fort Riley, where you can do your internship and residency until you become a Primary care physician. And you, Lieutenant Chavala, will be stationed at Fort Leavenworth at Leavenworth, Kansas. You’ll have your internship and residency there. You are studying Ophthalmology. They can help you with that.

Sir, Khanthi and I don’t want to be separated. We’ve known each other since childhood and thought we could be soldiers and doctors together.

The Colonel scoffed at him. Chavala, this is not a negotiation; this is an order. The best thing for you guys is to start your medical training in your assigned base. Once you are done in six years, maybe you can work full time at Fort Leavenworth; or in any other army base of your choice, in case you want to work together by then. In the meantime, you guys will start your medical training wherever you are assigned. Is this understood?

Both tell Colonel Truman, Yes, sir!

They all got up and did a salute. Colonel Truman’s final message for them was a curt good luck.

They both thanked the Colonel. After they made their leave, they went to the hallway holding their transfer papers.

I’m going to miss you, Khanthi.

I’m going to miss you too, Buddy!

Once we finish our internships and residencies, maybe we can go into private practice together.

That sounds great. Or maybe we can be private practice neighbors where we will work in different medical fields.

Sure thing. I will see you once we are done. I have no idea if I could leave anytime soon. I need to make a good impression.

So do I. I want to ask you something, though.

What is it?

I want to ask you if you can do something else besides being a doctor there. I have always known you wanted to be on the front lines. Since the war in Vietnam is ongoing, I thought you would want to go out and fight to protect the people that we serve.

I don’t know. My father was already cool with my joining the ROTC and going to medical school at the same time. I don’t think my fighting in the battle will make him happy, though. I thought about going to Fort Bragg for special forces training. But I don’t know if I can ask my commanding officer if I can train at Fort Bragg and be shipped off to Vietnam.

You’ll never know unless you try. I must report to my medical superior, Colonel John Thomas. Good luck, Sudarsan, and just think about it. Besides, you always talk about being the next John Wayne. I don’t think he sits in a medical office and works on exam charts all day instead of being on the field, right? He paused for a few seconds before he said, Anyway, I think we better go. Bye, Sudarsan!

Bye, Khanthi! See you around! They both went their separate ways.

* * *

My father thought about being on the front lines, fighting for this country, and not looking at eye charts all day. But he wanted to concentrate on his medical training first.

* * *

Sudarsan was already in the AHC-Munson at Fort Leavenworth, where he would do his medical training. He changed into his medical scrubs in the male locker room. He has already made friends with fellow interns and even met another Indian doctor.

Sudarsan introduced himself to the doctor, Hi, I’m Sudarsan Chavala.

The other doctor shook Sudarsan’s hand and said, I’m Jaya Konajeti. I’m starting my internship here in Fort Leavenworth.

So am I. I went to ROTC and UMKC medical school for six years; and now will start my medical training here. What about you? How did you get here?

I went to NYU Grossman School of Medicine and did my ROTC training five years after I got my commission and graduated from Medical school. I was stationed here.

What are you planning to specialize in after you finish your internship and residency program.

I’m going to be a General practitioner. I have always been fascinated with helping patients and listening to their needs. I want to be that guy they look for if they get hurt or injured.

"I want to specialize in Ophthalmology or Optometry. I like helping people fix their eyes or improve their vision. If they cannot see, I must prescribe them with glasses to help them get their sight back.

I guess we both have our work cut out for us. Our superior will be here to begin our training.

I wish I could meet him, but I have to report to our commanding officer Colonel Ray Thomas.

Colonel Thomas, he is the head of the hospital. Why does he need to see you?

Before I came here, the nurse told me to report to him at his office in an hour to speak with me before I begin my training, so I must be there in twenty minutes. Wish me luck.

Good luck.

After Sudarsan finished changing into his scrubs, he went out and headed to Colonel Thomas’s office.

Colonel Thomas was working in his office when he heard a knock on the door. He looked up and said, Come in.! It was Sudarsan.

The Colonel said, Hello, Lieutenant Chavala.

Sudarsan went over to his desk and stood in attention. The Colonel said, At ease Chavala. He then invited the lieutenant to take a seat.

Yes, sir. Sudarsan settled on one of the chairs, You wanted to see me, sir.

Colonel Thomas tells Sudarsan, Yes, I do. Lieutenant.

Sudarsan said, It is odd that the head of the medical branch wanted to see me on my first day. Most interns usually meet with our supervisor, Major John Rickford, first. But I am here. May I ask what this is about?

Colonel Thomas answered, "I have been looking at your file, Sudarsan. You inquired if you could get
