Piumi and I are studying in two different medical schools. Recently I visited her teaching hospital for an academic matter and met her meanwhile. We have been working together in BCSL activities but we couldn’t meet up for a long time. It was nice meeting her after a long time and I reminded one of the funny incidents regarding two of us and APCC. While I was taking part in APCC in 2014 as a PA some people I met asked me whether I came last year as well. Well, I didn’t, I went to Japan after 10 years. I was wondering whom they talked about. And again, one day some other APCC friend asked me if I am Piumi. Then only I realized that these friends have mistaken us to be the same person because we looked a bit alike. It was a nice memory and meeting her there and having a chat was lovely too.
