Captioning the post, he wrote, “Getting post graduated from AIIMS New Delhi feels like a dream I haven’t fully woken up from. In 2015, a 16-year-old just wanted any Government Medical College. Two years of books, fear, sacrifice, and hope. And with God’s grace, in 2017, AIR 33 at AIIMS on the very first attempt.” He added, “At 18, I thought getting into AIIMS was the dream. I never knew the real journey was only beginning. The last 9 years - MBBS and MD at AIIMS New Delhi have shaped me into the person I am today.”‘AIIMS gave me purpose’
In his post, Aman shared that the journey was not only about degrees, ranks or examinations, but also about personal transformation. “These years were not just about degrees, ranks, exams, or achievements. They were about becoming stronger through failures, kinder through patient care, calmer through chaos, and more human through pain,” he wrote. He also recalled the difficult phases that came with medical training, including “sleepless nights before exams, exhausting duties, emotionally draining days in wards, moments of self doubt, missed family occasions, sacrifices no one really sees, and countless times when I questioned myself quietly.” However, he said AIIMS also gave him “purpose, resilience, friendships for life, unforgettable hostel memories, mentors who transformed me, and patients who taught me what medicine truly means.”Another milestone
Aman further shared that life surprised him once again when he secured AIR 1 in the INI Superspeciality Examination in his first attempt, giving him the opportunity to continue his academic journey in DM Therapeutic Nuclear Medicine.
