Hi, my name is Dr. Sarma and I created this website with the primary objective of providing on the web the resources on Medicine and Philosophy, developed and accumulated by me over the past 40 years. I felt that my works can reach one and all by presenting them on the Web. I’m a Consulting Physician and Cardio-Metabolic and Chest specialist, practicing clinical medicine at Tiruvallur, near Chennai, India.

I have graduated from Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam in the year 1975 and acquired my master’s degree in medicine from the same alma mater in 1978. Later on I did my M.Sc., in Medical Research from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, in 1984.
