How Dr. Arpit Bansal Is Bringing The Worlds Of Passion And Profession Together

How many of us have ever thought about ditching all our textbooks and going on to pursue that one dream job that we are so passionate about? How many of you have chosen a particular career path, even though you despise studying through the course, only because it would earn you a good amount of money and respect? 

This story has been apt for most of the people from the new generation, where either individual have pursued their passion and ended up in not a great financial position, or have taken up monotonous jobs that they hate, just to earn good bucks! Why not bring the better of two worlds together? And today, to inspire millions of young individuals not to leave behind any regret with their career choices, we bring you the story of Dr. Arpit Bansal, who brought together the world of lenses and scalpels!

Dr. Arpit Bansal is a laparoscopic cancer surgeon by his profession and a wildlife bird photographer by his passion. Growing up in Allahabad, Arpit always wanted to be a doctor owing to his empathetic nature. He always felt a strong bond between Mother Nature and himself. Talking about his medical career, Dr. Bansal is a laparoscopic cancer surgeon by profession. Also, he is the director of the 200-bedded NABH Accredited Multi-Speciality Jeevan Jyoti Hospital in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. 

His interest in photography sowed its first seeds during his post-graduation years. Since then, there has been no turning back for this doctor cum wildlife photographer. Today, Dr. Bansal is considered among the biggest names in wildlife bird photography not only in India but globally.  Out of the 1349 species of birds found in the country, Dr. Bansal has already captured 1102 through his dynamic lenses.

He is No 7th in the list of Top 100 birders in the country as per the world's reputed website www.ebird.org. He is also the only doctor in the top 20 and the only doctor to complete over 1100 bird species from India.

Talking about finding the right balance between changing his focus from being a doctor and a wildlife photographer, Dr. Bansal says that the similarities in the two jobs help him become better in both. Be it the attached patience in holding his lenses or his scalpel, the satisfaction after shooting the perfect shot of a bird or the successful conclusion of a rare surgery, he finds himself lucky to be blessed with two passions. And he strives to achieve par excellence in both of them through patience and constant focus.
