I am JONALEE DAS and I have passed my final FRCS from Amman in may 2011 by the grace of GOD and well wishes of my family.I have passed all the parts in single attempt and would like to thank CHUA EYE page ,truly a great site for preparing me for the exam, Prof Muttusamy of Muttusamy virtual university for his selfless dedication in personally guiding the candidates,YAHOO group for the immense help and my senior colleague Dr Shivaganam for all his teachings and guidance and last but not the least my husband Dr Dushmanta Talukdar as it was his dream more than mine and my 2 sons Aryaman and Akarshan from whom time was borrowed in preparing for the exam.
