Meghana

An MBBS from University of Bombay, Meghana trained in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the Oxford Deanery and was a visiting lecturer in Urogynaecology at University of Michigan in the US.

For the first three months of her basic firefighting training in Mumbai, 26-year-old Meghana Sakpal remembers being in tears almost everyday during the physical fitness exercises, doubting if she was fit for it.

Meghana, a Commerce graduate from Pune’s Garware College, is now a proud third-generation firefighter.

Though age is just a number, it still brings with it several physiological, metabolic and psychological changes in our body, explained Dr Meghana Pasi, nutrition consultant with Arogya World’s MyThali program.

In the Swati Thirunal’s Keerthanam, Meghana showed a harmonious blend of graceful moves, crisp hasta mudras with precise footwork.
