Change is an intrinsic feature of society which may or may not be so easily perceivable, depending upon the situation. In recent times, there has been a drastic change in mentality, politics, technology and lifestyle and by simply looking through our own old photo albums we will realise that there have been great developments in our surroundings, not to mention in ourselves as well. This was the basis of our inspiration to take on this theme. The focus of this publication was not solely to emphasise on how change is brought about, but also to display how we, as human beings, can be viewed from different angles. An example of such would be how medical students manage to keep up with their various hobbies and interests outside the field of medicine which aid them in being active and holistic individuals. ; non peer-reviewed
