The role of doctors in caring is well-emphasised but we often forget that they too boast of varied passions, including music. To highlight this, the Cancer Patients’ Aid Association (CPAA), as part of its Rose Day initiative, will see doctors patients with amusic concert with Western Classical compositions and Rocksongs.

Rose Day (September 22) is dedicated to bringing smiles to cancer patients, and CPAA has been celebrating for 18 years. This time, the CPAA had performances for patients at Bandra’s Shanti Avedhana Hospice where a band of Catholic priests performed Folk songs; orthopaedic surgeon Dr Dilip Nadkarni also performed. Students of Podar School Santacruz (ICSE) held a dance performance, which included calisthenics and gymnastics.
