My Entry to the Pharmacy Profession

Abstract: After passing matriculation from a village school, I joined a college at Lahore for my intermediate studies, in 1945. I was recovering from a painful rheumatic disease by which I was afflicted just after my matriculation examination. The college was closed for the vacation (June-September) and I thought that I might earn some money on my own. It was a shear chance that I joined the Beli Ram and Brothers, which was a noted chemists and druggists firm of India, known for the stocks of medicines imported from the European continent and elsewhere. As an employee, I was not given any clear assignment. I used to carry prescriptions from the counter to the dispensing laboratory, and brought the dispensed medicines back to the desk. I was paid a daily wage of rupee one. I wished to carry on with the job but pains in my joints would not let me and made me to give it up after six days, earning six rupees for which the firm sold me a dissection box which I needed for my biology practical work.
