I was addicted to 'Criminal Minds' (Mon-Fri, Fox Crime, 10pm) but it so happened that I had watched one of the episodes and so went channel surfing that day. I landed up at Star World which was airing Grey's Anatomy. I watched the episode and have been hooked to the program ever since.
Why, you ask? Well, there are 3 reasons! Dr. Shepherd!Dr. Shepherd!Dr. Shepherd! He is so handsome that he is practically edible. Of course, I haven't liked that he has gone back to his wife citing marital vows and ring. Didn't he know that he had a wife when he started dating Meredith? Sounds rather hypocritical, doesn't he? On top of it, he is not leaving her alone. What a jerk! But then you cannot be mad at such a handsome man for long, can you? ;-)
Jokes apart, this show has made me realize both - why I wanted to become a doctor and why didn't I become one. I wanted to become a doctor because the profession actually lets you make a difference somewhere, in someone's life. You are saving people's lives, relieving them of pain and suffering. What can be more noble than that? And yet, on the flip side, you are responsible for a human life. That's a huge responsibility. Plus there is dissection! That's what made me make a beeline for the Engineering college. :-)
So there IS a fourth reason why I watch Grey's Anatomy every night. Nope, it's not Dr. Shepherd again.. It's just that I love shows set against the backdrop of the medical world. It reminds me once again of what I could have been but didn't become.
