I am "Raj" one of four who is a part of this incredible journey. I am born and bought up in Calcutta, now I am living in Sweden and I am Swedish citizen. I belong to upper cast, it means that I should not touch the untouchable " lower caste people. I never came in contact with these people in my life. It will be very intressting and tough for me to break the barriar that I had since birth and get kontakt with these peolpe.

As I remember I have not met a male nurse in India in my life. I could not say that male nurse does not exist in India. I was talking to my collegue a few day back about male nurse in India, so I came to know that there are male nurses in India but the number is very low. There are certain groups who are intressted in this occupation. I must say that they are not many. I can understand why they are not so many, low wage, hierarchy,treatment etc. 

I have not told to my family back in India that I am doing nursing programe, I dont know how I would tell them. I must be ready to face them, I have no idea how they will react when they will come to know about this. When they will come to know about my choice of proffession, they see me as a deviant, as ussual, becuse I do what I wish to do. All I want to do is lead my life by my own. I respect everyboby and I wish the same. It is very hard to break the culture barrier, it is not easy my friend.
