"Madhavi aspires to study medicine, following in the footsteps of her great-grandmother, who was a pioneer in the field in the male-dominated society of the early twentieth century in India. Brought up in a protected environment, she is transformed into a budding medico and experiences all that goes into making this happen. There are incidents of many kinds that she has to confront?some pleasant and others not very so. Madhavi realizes during this journey that there are a lot more things that go into the making of a Medico than what the textbooks and the labs offer, which includes a bit of philosophy, history, linguistics, politics and business management besides the science of medicine. Her grandfather?s advice of ?being a bit of chameleon with a conscience÷ guides her through apparently daunting times."
