Mangalore, Jun 18: ‘Montage - Mullerpulse 2013’, magazine of Father Muller Medical College (FMMC) was released by newly-electzd MLA J R Lobo at a ceremony held at Decennial Memorial hall of the College here on Tuesday June 18.

The e-magazine was also released on the occasion by Giselle Mehta.

Addressing the students, J R Lobo said, "The magazine reminds me of the National Geographic magazine when compared to the picture clarity and other aspects. This shows students have diverse interests other than their professional studies, a fact which reflects through this magazine."

He further said, "It is not enough if you get specialization in a field, but what best you can give to society is what counts more. You need to be good doctors and have a good heart. When you add a human touch to your profession, that is being kind to patients, it will cure half of their diseases," he added.

"From my brief browsing of this magazine, I came to know that this magazine is divided between professional focus and creative endeavour," said Giselle Mehta.

Giselle also asked students to be open-minded and create awareness on various issues. She urged each one of them to be writers, as each individual have different forms of creativity in them.

Starting with a quote, Fr Patrick said reading makes a full man while writing makes a perfect man. "The institution has the best minds with lot of experience," he added.

Lauding the editorial team of the magazine for all their efforts, Fr Patrick asked the students to note down their experiences in writing so that the best can be given to society.
