Sir, It is neither strange nor absurd when we welcome a newborn in the family but it is unheard to celebrate the arrival of a dead. This happens in a medical college awaiting recognition to start MBBS course for lack of dead bodies. The medical profession is unique in many senses; one aspect of which is living with dead.[1] This training starts from the very 1st day of a medical student when they dissect the human body.[2] However, equally difficult aspect for a medical college is to procure a dead body for these students. The legal and the emotional issues associated with the dead person and the complicated political and bureaucratic regulations play a key hurdle in getting the dead[34] and hence when these hurdles are overcome, the medical college celebrates the arrival of new dead comer. It is an irony that the celebrations are done first for the dead and then for the new comers (medical students) in a newly opened medical college. Despite this, it is needless to say that no other profession is as fearless as medical profession, which makes student learn both on living and dead.[5]
