My Indian Diary

My Indian Diary is an autobiographical account of the author's experiences of everyday life and work in an Indian private hospital in 2011. More than just a professional memoir, the book vividly and personally depicts her time in India, where she was warmly welcomed by an Indian family who treated her like one of their own. Combining professional insights with profound cultural encounters, the author reflects on the contrasts and connections between the different strata of Indian society, from the lives of the underprivileged to those of the wealthier. Her experiences are organized into thematic chapters that not only shed light on her medical work, but also on relationships, culinary adventures, daily life, and cultural observations. The narrative is relaxed and captivating, and flashbacks to the author's European roots, family history, and personal reflections fit seamlessly into the plot. These elements offer a multifaceted perspective on the intersection between her life and the vibrant world that she temporarily called home. My Indian Diary is an intercultural experience and a deeply human story, inviting the reader to see India — and life there — with new eyes. The original manuscript was written in the author's native language, Georgian. This English version is based on it.
