Dr Harvinder Sahota, world renowned cardiologist from Laguna Beach, California, shares his impression with Editor and Publisher Sayantan Chakravarty after his visit to Punjab in December 2018, seven years since the time he’d last visited India. MrChakravarty has authored and published DrSahota’s biography—Straight from the Heart—a 180-page coffee table book in 2016-2017. He was the first doctor to carry out angioplasty in India in January 1990 for which he flew down to Chandigarh with a team of specialists from the USA

My journey with my wife, DrAshaSahota, from Los Angeles commenced on December 4. I reached Mumbai with a layover in London. We took another flight to Amritsar and then reached Jalandhar by road. I must admit that I thoroughly combed most of Punjab between December 6 and 15, 2018, as I was coming here after a long time. Weather-wise it was a period when things were quite similar to the one back in California.
