This morning, I hung up my boots and stepped down as the Medical Superintendent (MS) of MGIMS Hospital.
Twelve years ago, I reluctantly took on this role. As a physician-teacher with no prior management experience, the early days were daunting. It felt like being thrust into Test cricket at Sabina Park without ever having played first-class cricket.
The pitch was treacherous, the skies overcast. Some deliveries bounced unexpectedly, while others spun sharply from wide of leg to knock over the off stump. It took time, but I gradually understood the game. Over weeks, I learned where my off stump was. Months later, I found my confidence—starting cautiously in the “V” before fearlessly hooking and pulling.
Over time, I began to see the bigger picture. The challenges were immense: increasingly empowered patients demanded care that was more convenient, effective, and affordable. Meanwhile, healthcare professionals sought more staff, better budgets, modern equipment, and improved infrastructure. Balancing these competing needs with limited resources felt like walking a tightrope.
As MS, I experienced both successes and failures. Not all ideas worked as I had hoped, but some exceeded expectations. Along the way, I received more bouquets—and brickbats—than I deserved. This journey, however, allowed me to turn several ideas into reality. Modestly, I believe the hospital became more responsive to community needs during my tenure.
At times, I may have been petulant, taciturn, or unreasonably demanding. Yet my colleagues stood by me, even when I faltered. Their support was my bedrock, and I owe them my deepest gratitude.
I did not always perform well, even when conditions were favourable and opportunities were easy. I feared their disappointment, but they accepted my shortcomings with grace. Their support carried me through the toughest times.
Why did I step down? Many have wondered, though few asked. The answer is simple: I was getting stale. It was time to hand over the reins to someone younger, brighter, and full of zeal. I firmly believe this change will benefit MGIMS in its future endeavors. As Tennyson aptly said, “The old order changeth, yielding place to new.” Or as Vijay Merchant, the cricketing legend, once advised, “Retire when people ask why, not when they ask why not.”
What is true in cricket is also true in healthcare.
I feel immense gratitude and respect for the institute where I worked. For years, my colleagues and staff trusted me, overlooked my flaws, and rarely interfered. They stood by me through good times and bad, giving me the freedom to lead.
Reflecting on my MS days, I am reminded of Charles Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities:
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…”
These words capture the highs and lows of my journey perfectly.
This morning, as my colleagues bid me a tearful farewell, their kindness overwhelmed me. I cannot thank them enough for their trust, support, and camaraderie over the years.
What lies ahead? With administrative duties behind me, I plan to focus on teaching and patient care, especially palliative care. I hope to rekindle my passion for research, immerse myself in reading and writing, and spend more time with my family—particularly with Diti, Nivi, and Krit, my grandchildren.
I look forward to this new chapter, hoping it brings clarity, calm, and the time to rediscover myself.
Among the several changes, two area, the HIS and Pharmacy, were the significant which lead to smooth functioning of hospital. And your simple but elegant designing ideas are visible in all new buildings. Congratulations for a marvellous tenure as MS and best wishes for future.
Congratulations on the illustrious career respected sir.
Dear Sir,
Kudos !!!
I am writing this email to express my heartfelt thoughts.
My sincere appreciation and wishes for a masterclass of an innings.
One of the things that I learnt from one of my Mentors was that assessment should be based on – what was the condition of the Team/Dept/Organization when you joined and what is condition when you part from it. Between these two reference points, you have left an indelible mark and legacy through your work. Be it low cost drug initiative, the hospital information system, facilitating learning at the point of care through use of technology, advocacy for evidence based care, establishing state of the art departments of Medicine and Palliative care…… to name a few. All this while delivering compassionate care and mentoring hundreds of students.
The role modelling and the leadership that you demonstrated during the Covid pandemic is simply unparalleled. The humanistic and bold decision of allowing the relatives to meet the covid patients (I am not sure how many hospitals did that), leading the district task force, constant advocacy for rationale use of Hydroxychloroquine, Remdesivir, Favipiravir, Tocilizumab, Methylprednisolone, N95 masks for that matter, including confronting our own staff on many occasions. The way you balanced the hard and soft nature of being an administrator is worth learning.
Also I admire you for your decision to call it a day when people still wonder ‘why’ and not ‘why not’. It’s not easy to walk the talk and many succumb to the temptation of lingering on.
I sincerely wish that you pen down the wisdom from all these years as these will truly be life lessons in itself.
Look forward to many more cycling rides and deep meaningful conversations with you.
Warm regards,
Abhishek
You indeed had an exemplary innings, sir. So many like me have been at receiving end of the extraordinary wisdom you carried. I am also sure you are going to enjoy the coming future……I witnessed the wonderful bond you have with your grandchildren during my visit to Sewagram a couple of years ago…..best is yet to come
Well done . Very few people show this sense. Wish you a happy third phase of life.
Abhay
Great work and achievements for you and Institution.
We all hope you have found a worthy successor to carry your legacy and Institution to greater heights.
However I am sure everyone will miss your gentle and unique style of management. Certainly I will.
We all hope you continue to play your game in teaching and caring. I hope to read one day book authored by you in Philosophy of Medicine.
Best Wishes and highest respects
Dipesh
Another master piece of your writing. We enjoyed the golden period of all 4 of you at MGIMS. You were more of a guardian than a teacher. I still cherish working with you and prof Gupta. It’s because of you all I am considered as excellent clinician. If life gives another opportunity, I would love to work with you again.
Enjoy semi-retired life with lot of time with grandchildren.
Rakesh Sood. (MGIMS 1977 batch)
Respected sir, the news of you stepping down has generated mixed emotions for me. One side of me is feeling restless, knowing you won’t be there as MS of the institute that has made me and my colleagues of what they are today. I find it difficult to imagine anyone fitting for this role especially after your inning. Mine other half is somewhat peacefully happy for you as now you can play the next session of your inning for your passion. I take immense pleasure in writing that, on behalf of all my colleagues, we will always be grateful to you.
Thank you sir.
Tarun Rao (MGIMS 2002 batch)
Kudos.
A la Sunny Gavaskar-could not agree more on the timing!
And the above was before yours truly read about the Sabina Park debut!
Always felt deliveries is a better term than ‘balls’.
But, now that you have used the term…….
Kudos-you have the balls to do it at the appropriate time.
Words cannot express the wisdom you exude. The society can only express their gratitude towards people like you. Congratulations and all the best. Dr Sanjay Jain, PGI, Chandigarh
Sir. beyond all doubts you have helped the institute reached the heights like never before. You envisioned the new era of MGIMS like no one else would have and made every bit of it a reality. Every single student going into generations remain indebted to you for helping shape their future.
While you start your new journey, I will still look forward to more wisdom and blessings from you. And may this new era allow you to enlighten us in newer ways.
Wonderful career.
Many centuries, big partnerships.
Wonderful average (since remained not out in every match) and gracefully left the ground and received standing ovation from the full-house stadium.
Sir, citizens of central India will always appreciate your contribution to healthcare at MGIMS. You have taken MGIMS to great heights and added newer dimentions to the organisation.
I wish you happy retirement and I hope you continue to serve the society as you always do.
Sir, am so lucky and blessed that u are so kind to share these clips with me since am not active on social media. Sir, all I can say is that your dedication in everything you do is so immense that people like you do not need to meditate to achieve singularity with Almighty. You are the chosen few by Almighty who live their life as a role model and inspiration for others serving the real purpose of life.
My heartfelt and humble regards to you.
Best wishes to you & family, Sir.
Appreciated your stint as MS & future plans you made. Your Techno savvy nature brought so many positive changes in the institute which I realised during my visits to MGIMS. I am sure you will keep guiding all of us in future
Sir you have been so inspiring. In a way it is great news because teaching, research and academics needs Dr S.P Kalantri the most.
We all could put our soul into medicine after attending your clinics and classes.
What a wonderful innings. Time and again you have proved your worth in all formats of work. Happy retirement. Now you will have more time for yourself and family specially DNK. Be happy.
Dear Sir, you are such an inspiration for us, as a physician, as a teacher and as a human being. You always know what to say. Your kind and wise words which helped me during tough times will always stay with me. You were the best MS, MGIMS has ever seen. Best wishes for your 2nd innings sir. wish you good health.
Amazing teacher,
Humble and gracious.
We look forward to your next inning
Dear SP
The hospital & college have metamorphosed in your tenure.
The administration & your students will remember your style of governance!
Best wishes for future research, book reading, writing & quality time with your grandchildren.
All the best sir for future endeavors. When I visited MGIMS two years ago, you took me around the hospital and the change since our student days was so much.
Selfless service rendered by your to MGIMS is not only admirable but worth emulating. Wish you happy, joyous and cheerful life post retirement!
Best Wishes for the next innings on home pitches!
Dear Sir,
Congratulations for the great achievements and developments you brought in KHS during your tenure as Medical Superintendent. KHS was at its heights during your tenure. Hope KHS will keep on flourishing in the coming years under your valuable guidance to the new office bearers.
I am highly indebted to you for all your support to the Cardiology unit as Medical Superintendent. You have always taken keen interest in the growth of this unit from its infancy. I greatly value your guidance and support. I am sure your interest and guidance will keep this unit growing further in its quality service.
Wish you all the best in all your undertakings
Good wishes
Gini
Thank you for your kindness and tranquility. It gave hope not just to ones who worked daily with you, but also the ones who met you briefly like me. The impact you have had is not limited to MGIMS.! Thank you for the ripples of positivity! And all the best sir!
अपूर्व आणि अद्वितीय कामगिरी करणाऱ्या कलंत्री सरांना मानाचा मुजरा!
Best wishes for your future assignments Sir. We appreciate what changes you have done to the institute as a whole.
You have played a fantastic inning! Time to sit back, do things you love the most and marvel at the things you have created!
Beautifully written SP Kalantri Sir, as always. MGIMS witnessed the most dynamic MS in its history until date. We were fortunate to have witnessed and lived the same
Dear SP,
I am sad to see you step down from MS position. But I can understand your desire to follow your passion for academic medicine and step away from the daily grind of, often thankless, administrative duties.
You have been very understanding and supportive whenever I came to you for help and thanks to you, our Paediatrics Department has made progress in improving care and outcomes for our most vulnerable babies.
You have influenced many physicians to follow evidence based care. Your extensive knowledge, passion for teaching and advocacy for the patient will be remembered by many, including me, for years to come. I am fortunate to have known you the last five years.
I wish you the best both academically and personally.
Sincerely yours
Reddy
Dear and respected Dr SP sir,
I am so pleased that you are leaving MS office as a satisfied and successful administrator. Most importantly, your choice of time to leave is just perfect (as per your wishes, rather than the other way round).
As now you have more time for teaching, the students in MGIMS will really be blessed. Teachers like you are a rare commodity and MGIMS is such a different place with and without you as teacher and guide in clinical craftsmanship.
Best wishes for your future endeavors. We will always look upon u as a guide in true sense.
Wishing you all the best Dr Kalantri. I was fortunate to work with you. Great Mentor and Teacher. Respect … Wishing you healthy and happy life ahead.
People like you have made MGIMS a great institution and I take pride in being an alumnus. You joined when we were in the final year of our postgraduation. I came to know you indirectly when I saw your notes in one of the case papers and your handwriting drew my attention instantly. Later we came to know each other face to face as I kept going to Sevagram because Pratibha my wife continued her postgraduation for four years more. After that also you kept on communicating off and on for more than one reasons. We owe you special thanks for your commitment to the institution. You are still there for other invaluable services and wish you a great association with the institute and a very happy family life.
I feel proud for Teacher Physician completing a successful inning as Superintendent of MGIMS through n through sympathetic approach-in services of ailing people in and beyond boundaries of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra.Abhinandan.
Congratulations sir, you have been an excellent teacher and have inspired hundreds of students to take up and love medicine!! An inning that’s difficult to be played again by anyone!!
Thank you for your service to our Institute, sir, and thank you for inspiring us with your words and your example. Sending you lots of love and best wishes for your future endeavors!
SP boss,
Jaisi aap ki handwriting hai vaisi hi personality hai.
Jahan jaate ho,chaap chod jaate ho ..
Wishing you best of luck for future..
Every new innings of yours will be better than the previous ones, for the betterment of society in general and medical students in particular

Best wishes for other chapters
Congratulations sir for successfully completing your role as a MS . It’s been a long journey. your newer ideas for running the Institute with rest of the world in technology and implementing them successfully is your achievement. we are eyewitness of that paradigmatic revolution in the institute in your time. So we feel always blessed being your student and part of MGIMS family. Pray to almighty for your healthy and happy life. Regards
Your innings will always be remembered. You have been ahead of your times and your successor – a very able lady will carry the torch and lead on the path you have forged.
In Sevagram no one retires – only the way to serve changes and we will be reading more about your latest endeavors!
Sir, you have taken MGIMS to new heights. Meticulous planning and adding perfection to every task. Tirelessly working day and night shaping up patient care and services. You have set a high benchmark. The institute and hospital will continue to have your guidance.
SP, you are finest teacher and human being. You have taken MGIMS to greater heights. I feel you have taken excellent decision. I know grandchildren will have whale of time with you. All the best. I hope you start painting now.
Sir, you have made such benchmarks that no one can meet, your passion for new technology, your aesthetic sense, your vision has brought the institution to a great height when. We stand at the centre of the institute and look in any direction, we see something which has been developed by you. We know sir once step in the palliative care it will also flourish
Best wishes for future work. It’s a slow process for teachers to learn administration. Spent 15 years as Dean of three colleges at GMC Dhule, Aurangabad & BJMC but at retirement I returned to academics. Do that as the teacher in you will be ever ready to start academics…Love to meet you again.
Congratulations on completing successfully your tenure. Wishing you all the best in following your new passions and spending more time with your grandkids.
Well said Kalantri sir…u have had a long stint at MGIMS. I remember the days when you were a lecturer or was it senior registrar? and I was your PG student. I congratulate you for your illustrious career and wish you best for the future
I’m sure the innings of MS was very well played. Congratulations on a job well done and wish you the very best in your future projects.
Congratulations on the work that you have done up to now.
Looking forward to the great things that you will achieve in the future.
You have made us all proud.
Keep safe and God bless.
Dear Sir you are an amazing Teacher, Physician and most importantly a wonderful Human being. Stay blessed sir. Please visit us along with madam. NAMASKARAM
All the best wishes for your second innings SP. A picturesque summarization of your journey through challenging years…….as usual in a typical SP style… keep going
Wishing you great success in your next innings, SP! Your clarity of vision, a desire to help the community as a MS, and your innate goodness has been obvious to all.
That you plan to continue to write, perhaps more than what you’ve done so far, by virtue of more time being available to you now, gives us hope that we’ll continue to enjoy your writing, with your characteristic flourish and expression!
You always set example. What a innings!! And you carried the bat
An inning played very well. The benchmark of your teaching and administration will be difficult to match.
Hi Uncle,
Hope you are doing well. I read your article on retirement and this message is regarding the same.
We humans fear the unknown and are comfortable with continuity /certainty. This makes it very difficult to take such decisions, especially when in control of things. And only a person with lot of wisdom can take such decisions even when it is not forced. Hence your decision does not come as a surprise as you are one of the most wise people that I have come across. This decision further enforces that belief.
I know it must not have been an easy decision. Having spent all the prime years of life in this role, it must have been quite emotional too. But I am sure you are more than capable of handling this transition. That clarity reflects in your retirement post too.
I wish you all the best for the next inning because it is not over until it is.
Thank You
Gopesh
Dear SP,
Thank you very much for sharing your heartfelt emotions with us. I am really grateful to you for that. Your tenure of 12 years has been a very memorable one and your achievements have been entered into the pages of institutional history. Without doubt you have played all your innings well and faced all balls with valour. There is much that the Institute has to be grateful to you for. When you took over as MS I was at that time Secretary and I always appreciated your suggestions, decisions and positive inputs. Now that you have shed the major burden of hospital administrative responsibilities and wish to spend time with your hobbies and grandchildren, I wish you very joyous and satisfying years ahead.
With Very Best Wishes,
As always, it was pleasure reading your writeup.
Accolades for being such an innovative administrator you really played stylishly your MS innings. without prejudice and catapulted MGIMS to new heights.
For future generations it would be difficult to match your achievements.
I know you must have taken a decision to focus on research and publishing teaching and taking out quality time for your grandchildren and family.
All the best for future endeavours which would always be top seeded.
Regards and best of luck.
Respected Sir,
The beautiful innings of a decade are summarized wonderfully by you. You are a great leader having superb qualities, one amongst it is ‘active listening’ to our grievances and acting upon them right away. The dignity you have shown to each one of us working here is valuable. Knowing all employees in the hospitals by their first name, always amazes me. You are an excellent writer, motivator, guide and teacher. The Hospital Information System (HIS) installed for the hospital under your leadership is truly a boon for the hospital staff, patients and residents working here. You have brought evidence based medicine at the fingertips by helping our accessibility to the UpTodate.com. You have made generic drugs available to the patients at an extremely low costs. This benefits a lot of patients. Welcome back to the team Medicine.
Hereby wishing, a very happy next innings to the master blaster leader of MGIMS.
Respected sir,
Though you’re leaving but you’re leaving the pitch not out, declaring the inning!
And your second innings would be easy now, to win the cricket match called ‘professional career’.
We all are eagerly watching and wishing you all the very best.
Respected sir,
Many things to be learnt from you .Obliged to see such great administrator in life .Well said by Anupama madam.
Wishing you all the happiness.
Dear Sir,
If I do not write a few lines in response to the mail you had sent to MGIMS family, it will be an injustice to my conscience. Because going through those lines I really felt it was a very personal letter you addressed to one and all in MGIMS. Your letter shows how transparent, open, free, humble, dedicated and other oriented you are.
First of all let me acknowledge you very frankly that I admire the way you do things, the way you manage every situation with calm and serenity. You have a solution for all the problems. You have a heart for everyone in need. You have a concern for the one who suffers. You have a positive attitude to empower every situation and every person. You acknowledge the little we do with great admiration and boost our spirit to do our best. You can easily bring fresh air to any closed atmosphere. You are a person in whom we can blindly trust. Your innocent smile captures every heart. You are simply a soothing spirit to everyone. Your creative and innovative ideas together with your hard work have made MGIMS what it is today. You can always feel proud of what you have done to ease the suffering of humanity and motivating every member of MGIMS to grow into an electronic era.
In fact I felt bad to hear that you stepped down as MS of MGIMS. Your absence as MS matters a lot to MGIMS. But I am a person who thinks positively. So I look forward to the day that you become PRESIDENT of MGIMS. So that our MGIMS family keeps flourishing, and I am sure you will be able take MGIMS to greater heights, which anyone in MGIMS can never dream of. Because you are a person with dreams and innovative ideas higher than the sky for the growth of MGIMS. You are indeed a marvelous personality with your motto “WORK IS WORSHIP”. Yes, your integrated life shows your dedication and commitment to patient care and growth of MGIMS. You prove with your life how we can achieve greater goals with determination and dedication.
I am so much taken up with your vast knowledge to minute details to everything in MGIMS. Your observation is very sharp. Your silence speaks louder than your words. Your concern for cleanliness and order is marvelous. We have our Congregation based in Germany. So I know what cleanliness and order means for a German. Being trained in Germany you too have a German attitude towards cleanliness and order. It is really great! Your life indeed is a great inspiration to me and to many. Words can not express what you really mean to me and to MGIMS. I look forward to your continued support and guidance for the developments of the Cardiology unit.
You walked the path less travelled by trusting in the power and providence of Almighty. As I remember you with respect for what you are, with gratitude for what you have been to us, and with veneration for your unique personality, I wish you all success in the days ahead. I wish and pray that your life at the service of humanity may be enriching and fruitful in a hundred fold.
Best wishes,
Gini
Dear SP,
Thanks for this truthful, perfectly worded, emotional write up. In short you have conveyed everything to the point that makes your approach to life very clear. You have hidden nothing.
Achievements & failures are part of life & no one escapes these, not even a ordinary householder. You know they are necessary for our growth & maturity.
All these years, you certainly did your best. I appreciate your efforts, dedication & commitment. MGIMS is fortunate to have you on its board as MS.
I take it you will continue as professor emeritus in department of medicine.
Here after you are beginning new phase of life that will bring you personal happiness, ease of living (more free time) & contentment.
Wishing you “All the best”!
Vivek
Sir,
As usual your description is marvelous. I think you have rendered the best of your services and left the platform at a very high level. Your successors will be requiring your guidance and advices to carry forward your unfinished tasks.
All the best to you and hope to meet you when ever we get the opportunity.
Dear SP,
Great to hear from you! I know how much the Institute treasured your role. I can just hear the compliments and hardly had an ear for the complaints. Every job has good times and poor times (not bad times!) just like in a family environment! In the end, the score card is what matters whatever be the opposition – Bangladesh in the early years or Nepal or Namibia now!
Holding up one’s head in pride rather than hanging it in shame is so important in life and I can say that your head is held very high in esteem and regard, with affections and love.
Kudos to a wonderful innings! May the third innings be equally productive and exciting!
We look forward to meeting up with you sometime in the near future!
Warm regards,
GVS
The sudden change has really come as a surprise. The administrator has to walk a tight rope most often. ‘you cannot satisfy everyone, is the dictum. There will always be some people who try to see ‘something fishy’ in everything, you have very aptly dealt with the administrative responsibilities, focusing on the ideals of the institution and needs of the society.
There are always limitations and restraints because of many factors related to the finances, personnel and some knows/unknown strings and I am happy that you have been able to do the justice despite all of these.
You are welcome back to your original house—the department. Teaching, research and hobbies –more time will be available to fulfil the desired objectives.
My best wishes
Best wishes for the most beautiful inning after retirement with satisfaction of best service given to the needy once tirelessly for long long 40 years of life .
Dear Sir,
First, many congratulations for this incredible contribution to the growth of the institution that we all love – Your legacy is forever etched in the institutional fabric of its ecosystem.
Second, your words are so apt and a harmonious blend of your love for sport and literature. Well said indeed!
Finally, you are not done – because you relinquish the heavy weight belt to allow others in line to acquire it, does not mean you cannot coach future champions or continue to advance the sport. In this regard, you will now bring the talent of your experiences woven into the cloth of your exquisite expression to us all ….and of course, you will enjoy the real wealth you have created – the grand kids!
With gratitude for your omnipresence among our fraternity, your teachings and your wisdom imparted to us all – there is much more where that came from!
Best wishes
Mandeep
Wish you all the best sir after a fulfilling career as MS. Very well penned
Congratulations sir..All the best…You are a great teacher..
विचारों की सुंदर साहित्यिक अभिव्यक्ति। पुनः पूर्णतया शिक्षक के चोले में आने पर बधाई, मैं तो इससे बाहर आने की बात सोचने लगा हूं।
स्वतंत्रता की बधाई। और संस्था में किए गए कार्य, अस्पताल के लिए हों, छात्रों के लिए हों, रोगियों के लिए हों , साथियों के लिए हों या समाज के लिए, उसमें दूर दृष्टि और दक्षता का सहज ही आभास होता है। आपका अभिनन्दन, साधुवाद और शुभकामनाएं।
Congratulations and the best wishes for the future!
Happy retirement sir
Best wishes sir.
Very well articulated !
Best wishes sir
Congratulations to one of the most dynamic, excellent teacher and leading personality of MGIMS>
In every phase of your life you inspire a with a different and newer version ..Regards and good wishes always.
Sir, You have always been an inspiration.
Best wishes for second inning..
As always…humbled by your brilliance sir and grateful for your service.
A remarkable innings Sir. You have raised the bar, all the very best for the future, Sir.
Sujata Bhalerao
Job Well done and time to do what you like best! Best wishes always SP!
MGIMS would miss you as the world missed Sachin!
And I can’t be more true when I say this!!
Thank you, SP for the long and cricket metaphor filled story – the type I like.
You missed one, though – You are a test cricketer, not a T20 tamasha man.
So, all the best for the second innings. India historically has played the second innings better and may it be the same with you !
Sanjay
Wonderful expression Dr Kalantri ! Good to learn, you stepped out (better than Stepped down) to a world of lot more, specially the grandchildren. Their generation need people who have time to talk to them, read out stories & spend time with them. This is more important because, their parents don’t have time (after all, we have made them such).
May be the More-time can accommodate more travel as well !
Will be a loss to the institution but u have obviously thought it through. Who knows mgims loss will be a gain for others including FMES/IJME?
Well played. Best wishes for next innings sir.
Dear Sir-
It is so kind of you to share this very thoughtful note !
And very aptly, you have invoked the analogy of cricket, a group sport, something that you love very much (I guessed this from your tweets :). Managerial jobs are group games, something we physicians are not very well trained in. We are at most doubles badminton players.
You made the letter look very light but it is deeply philosophical. It reflects upon the complexity of the real world and stresses the need to be humble and accept shortcomings.
In these rapidly moving times where the rate of change of change is very high, one wonders what is the right time to hang boots and whether it is going to shift to earlier ages.
You end on the note- what next ? Such a profound question ! For someone who is always immersed in work and always seeking purpose, this could be an unnerving question. But I guess one has to rediscover oneself every second of our life and keep figuring things out.
Thank you again for sharing this note. I read it multiple times to understand how a wise man like you navigates life. So much learning in this letter, something I can definitely use as I accumulate more years into my life 🙂 It made me reflect deeply and be prepared for the next phase of life when it comes.
I look forward to reading your writing in the coming years and enriching myself.
And thank you for bearing with my musings !
with a deep sense of gratitude….
best regards
Yogesh
Sir, this delayed response is because I have been trying to collect my thoughts ever since I heard the news of your resignation.
MGIMS, and Sewagram, is where my roots are. The place is defined by its people, and you, in many ways, have been the face of the institution for more than a decade. For those of us who have been your students, that was a reassuring thought. More so for me. Though this must have been a considered decision, I had mixed feelings. The thought of MGIMS without you as Medical Superintendent is, in all honesty, not a palatable one. MGIMS has grown in many ways during your tenure, and we owe a debt of gratitude to you for that.
However, as you very succinctly put it, I suppose it was time to reclaim your life. I do empathize with that. It is the start of a new innings for you. In this, if there is something I could contribute productively to, I would be very happy to do so. Both Skand and I send our deepest regards, and best wishes for a truly fulfilling new chapter in your life
Heartiest congratulations on the wonderful inning you played,sir. Your contributions in bringing excellent changes to the institute are worth appreciating.
Wish you all the very best for your future plans. 🙏
It was really an honour to be graduated under your tenure.The lessons you taught and the teachings you gave will always be a torch bearer in our professional career. Best wishes and have an amazing and wonderful journey ahead.🙏🏻
Superb write up sir!!! Best wishes for further endeavours
Parag Shah
You are excellent mentor teacher and great physician . Wish you lots of good luck in your new path

What a beautifully woven piece of words as always by Inspiring Physician Respected SP Kalantri Sir. ❤️
You weared so many hats & you were just phenomenal in each one of them
Best Wishes & A Big Thank You Sir 🙏🙏
Sir, you’ve always been inspiring. Thanks a lot Sir for always being the teacher, whom we’ve looked upto. Best wishes always.
Best wishes for your second innings. Enjoy your hobbies and family life
Dear Sir…When we visited MGIMS during our reunion we were pleasantly surprised to see the development which as I understand are the fruits of your vision and hardwork!
Thankyou and all the best for the next innings!!🙏
Sir, Your contributions to MGIMS have been exceptional. The way you have implemented processes and incorporated technology has been a turning point for the organization. Your successor has been given a solid foundation and the challenge of maintaining the high standard of work culture and ethics that you have established.
Congratulations on your retirement.
Congratulations Sir,
You have always been a role model for so many of us and have not only taught us the ABC of Medicine but also have guided us to be what we are today. MGIMS has definitely seen some major changes during your tenure as MS. Now its the time for the postgraduates reap the benefits of your teachings again.
Best Wishes and Regards.🙏👏👏
Congratulations dear SP on an excellent inning played with great dedication, honesty and skill.MGIMS was lucky to have you as the charioteer during extremely trying times.I’m glad you’ve decided to take care of your other interests and I’m sure this new innings will be played equally well , if not better. Best wishes from both of us, God bless you and your family.
Best teacher ! Best guide ! The person who has a tiger’s share in shaping my future in medicine ! wish you all the very best for your health and future plans !
Thank you sir for everything you gave me 🙏🙏
S. P. These are not small words. Every one who knows you would say what you are to them. No doubt you raised such a bar as MS that now the next person will have to work very hard to come nearer to it.
In fact people who are suffering from any type of ailments need you more. Now you would be in position to again dedicate to patients cures . Definitely you can enjoy your hobby more than before.
We wish you well for your new innings. We are sure that everyone would enjoy your centuries more than before.
Dear S P, Best Wishes for your future life.
Well done so far Sir! 👍👏🏼 You will leave a legacy of hardwork and honesty behind!
Well played and well written Sir… best wishes for the future
Role models like you are few 🙏🏼
You are a legend of our college and will leave a big vacancy which would be very hard to fill.
The college is what it is today, thanks to your efforts and your vision.
Sir, you are not only a great teacher but also a good administrator.
Best wishes for ur future plans. You have always motivated everyone.
Beautifully said and wish you all the best!
Very nice write up👍👍. Wish you a very Happy post retirement life💐🙏
Congratulations Sir and Best wishes for your new innings !!! It’s an art go know when to let go ….and to do it happiness and satisfaction and pride ..👌🏻 you are an inspiration to so many of us !!!
Your innings is very fruitful and you should be proud of it. Happy retirement and enjoy the remaining time. Change of work is relaxation.
Anu just informed about your decision to step down as MS from MGIMS.
Am sure that MGIMS would never be the same without You.
I wish you all the very best in whatever you do next. Hopefully, you would get more time to spend with Jiji and grandkids and frequent opportunities to visit us at Mumbai.
Best wishes always… 🙂
Welcome to become a dedicated one track clinician again.
Wish you well and good health in your next phase.
Best wishes, Vivek Agrawal, Delhi.
Professor Kalantri is an inspiration and a role model for countless students, some expressive… others silent. He has shaped NOT careers but LIVES of not individuals but of many generations. He is an institution in himself
Congratulations sir💐 You have always been a great teacher and administrator with lots of innovative ideas and had totally transformed MGIMS during your tenure. Thank you so much for what you have been to us .Not only that, you are an excellent writer, orator and researcher which everybody would agree.We would love to see you write more books in the future. Best wishes for your post retirement journey 🙏🙏🙏
Sir I feel you have penned down your thoughts succinctly. After a long, successful role as MS am sure the people who will benefit the most are your family. Here’s cheering you on sir for a beautiful second innings!
Excellent write up sir👍👍
Great👌
Dear Sir,
It’s been a god gifted privilege to have been your student. When anything but study was our focus. Your approach to incorporate sessions like critically read articles and research papers, how to do present cases!!
Looking back…the experience U shared has been priceless treasure for us.
And definitely without doubts we have seen MGIMS hospital and medical College reach new heights under your leadership and guidance.
MGIMS connect that I unexpectedly come across in corporate sector is a different feeling altogether.
May lord almighty bless you with good health and happiness and give opportunity to all students and staff with you to learn the acumen that you command.
Heartiest wishes Sir!!
I am sure your new innings must be as interesting….and enjoyable!!
Respected Sir ,
My heartiest congratulations to your 12 years of service as the MS of our loving college .
We are always grateful to your contribution in advancing the institution with the latest medical technology in every way and till today I still proudly tell everyone that our institute (which is the first rural medical college in the country ) has been equipped with HIS system since 2005 ,and had gone paperless since 2012 with best patients care being provided at the cheapest rate.I bet the medical students will also be thrilled to know that you are devoting your time to them in teaching like those days when we are always excited to listen to your clinical and theory teaching , making the lectures so simple and putting everyone’s brains into action in a very calm atmosphere .
Wishing you good health always Sir , my regards to Madam and everyone at home and for sure Diti, Navi and Krit will be the happiest to have you around them more often .
I’m working as Assistant Professor of NEIGRIHMS , Shillong. We are having MBBS course for 50 students and two postgraduate students in each batch . I’m looking after the 15 bedded medicine icu and quite busy with administrative work apart from clinical and teaching curriculum . But with the teaching and experience I received from MGIMS and CMC ,Vellore , I always feel that nothing is difficult .
Thank you again Sir for sharing your wonderful experience in such lovely words and phrases.
My best wishes and with great remembrance
Iada
Dear Kalantri Sir,
Thank you for sharing! You will always be the most supportive and kind professor of medicine!
Thank you for all your years of service to MGIMS as an MS! As I am growing up and learning about medical policies and system at large, I can’t even imagine now how difficult it must have been some days to manage the world of MGIMS and like you put – to do great with few resources.
With that, thanks for being a great educator, mentor and pillar of strength.
I fondly remember you sitting in the library quietly going through the latest journal articles 😊
Hope this next phase brings you more time to have fun with the grandkids and family and see them bloom!
Best regards to everyone at home and at MGIMS!
Dear sir
Honestly, you were a great MS for MGIMS who revolutionized the whole hospital systems, led the COVID response at MGIMS, and inspired many of us from academics to leadership. Though I feel it’s a significant loss to MS office and MGIMS, I respect your decision. I am sure, you will continue leading us with your thoughts.
Everything you write is an inspiring and reflective article. Thanks for sharing it with me. I would love to read a book authored by you titled “On being MS” or something like that. Best wishes for your health and future plans
Thanks and warm regards
Amol
Dear Sir
Your contribution to MGIMS as a teacher, administrator, health care for rural community, rapport with colleagues and friends will be remembered for ever. It is loss to MGIMS and KHS. Our best wishes for a healthy and peaceful life. Enjoy your retirement with your lovable family and spend more time with grandchildren 🌹🌹🌹🙏
Sir,
You are one of the very few who have dedicated all life—physically, Mentally, emotionally, morally and in whatever way one could honestly, selflessly, and persistently for MGIMS.
To me a great loss to the institute for missing a masterly perfect administrator & visionary but good for your sir and the family as you will have more time now to find, rediscover and shape a new SP in you making your life calmer, composed, peaceful, meaningful, purposeful. In particular, an even better and versatile human being. I bow my head at your feet sir and now I am more hopeful that someday you will definitely visit me in Kurukshetra which you promised many years back.
My prayers wishes & regards,
Ajay
Second life starts 🤞
I hope you have a good time , find another passion which has nothing to do with medicine (You have already been the Sherpa helping other climb The Everest after having himself climbed upmteen times) and have fun.
An important point to add to your itinerary and ToDo List is : Visit Pune and stay with us …
Seeking your blessings Always and lots of love to the Best Physician I was so fortunate to learn under
Warm Regards,
Amit
Respected Sir,
Regards. It has been a long and memorable inning with you as the MS (that started roughly around my internship). It was one of the many hats that you donned over the years while inspiring us to take up challenges and take roads less travelled.
The Tweedledum Tweedledee episode that rocked the Orthopedics Department was one of the first instances where I realized how an administrator, physician, and professor deals with errors. Also, the successful NAAC accreditation and your simile of the entire endeavour to be “like a daughter’s wedding” is memorable. Your help with the point-of-care device trial that I worked on, was also during this golden age of 12 years. In these 12 years, Sewagram changed, the world changed. The buildings, the students, the internet, the satellite news trucks, the doctors, the students, the patients, every thing changed. And yet like a seasoned batsman, you guided Kasturba Hospital to become a better place while standing up for what you believed in. As you raise your bat towards the crowd and walk towards the pavilion, with a standing ovation I salute an inning well played that will inspire future generations.
Now coming to a lighter note. While daydreaming a couple of days back, I was wondering what will a slide deck of my life story look like. I came to an instant conclusion that the introductory slide will be a quote saying “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey” with the name Ralph Waldo Emerson scratched out and Prof. SP Kalantri written on it. That is how my career in research started and I may be one of many who have similar stories to tell. That is the moment when I started worshipping the art and the artist as you sculpted your David and painted the Sistine Chapel.
Coming back to the reality that stood in front of me, I was composing an email (a ‘stinker’ as they call it in the quagmire of corporate politics). While I tried to bring in Longfellow, the footprints, the hurt, and the unbecoming that needed to be put into the email, the end result was laughable when compared to the elegance of this pdf simply named “SP_Resignation”. It is a lesson on how graceful can a wordsmith be, no matter what the circumstances or the backdrop.
As a final thought, being from Nashik, we are used to seeing the spring of hope (and development and celebrations) every 12 years and hence we love that number. This is no different. There are better things that are coming and like an ardent follower, I am waiting in the stands- for the second inning, for the player of the match, for the celebrations, and for yet another wave towards the stand.
One who didn’t work with you at times of pandemic will never know how one can guide and inspire ethical conduct the way you did.
Sir, many congratulations for a long and successful inning.
This has come as most unexpected and surprise for me. You have carved your own space on this prestigious institute with your hard work , zeal and commitment. You have raised the benchmark of academic excellence and patient care. Hundreds of Doctors and other medical fraternity persons are walking on the illuminated path of yours. Generations to come will be benefitted by your mammoth legacy. I will describe it as one of the most contended, satisfying,illustrious career. In an era of commercialisation of medical profession , your ethics and high moral is a rare quality of today. I wish you all the best for your future endeavours. I am sure many more laurels are yet to come.
Congratulations once again. I will definitely come and seek your blessings. 💐💐💐💐💐
Dear Sir,
Thank you for reaching out to me and sharing this beautiful letter. Thank you for your kindness, service and dedication.
I am grateful for your empathy and your support. It is sad for me to see you hang your shoes! You are the last of the few, holding the fort, to what my father held very dear to his heart. I no longer know the new or their values, traversing through the institute. My father loved the Kasturba trust and held it close to his heart.
In 2023, it’s two decades since we lost him and I would like to commemorate his legacy. I hope I will be able to build something out of the past and take it forward into the future.
My deepest gratitude and warm wishes to you and yours from me and mine. I hope I will be able to meet you someday and show my appreciation for your kindness.
Dear Sir,
Thank you for sending this by email. I don’t have a social media presence.
As ever, wise and eloquent in your statement.
You have given more than your best to the Institution. Nobody can begrudge your actions. Anyway, it’s all past tense.
I fondly remember you as my teacher, guide and mentor; and how formative it was, and still is, in defining my role of a doctor as a role of love and service. I am glad that patients and students will have you all for themselves.
They all say it’s now time for family – but I think, fresh vistas await you. Get the boots mended and ready for new adventures.
Forever indebted to you
Kind regards
Muthu
Dear Kalantri sir,
Such a beautifully expressed write-up. You have done a great deal in your role to help MGIMS and more importantly its patients. The plans you have in front of you, specifically palliative care are certainly very worthwhile endeavours to set your energies on in the coming years. Your family will also get some more of your time which I am sure will give you and them much pleasure.
We are fine here. I am an endocrinology consultant at St Helens and Knowsley NHS Trust just outside Liverpool though we live in Manchester. We have a 9 year old Rishi and a 3 year old Reva. Rishi is a lot into art and writing while Reva is in her lovable way into ensuring every ounce of attention is directed at her rather than her brother!
I tend to post Rishi’s writing and art on Instagram.
Please do consider visiting the UK now that your responsibilities have changed. Would be honoured to host you here.
Best wishes

Thanks a lot bhaiya for sharing your wonderful experiences in an extremely interesting manner.
We are like any machine, except we are chemically built. We have to go thru it. I turned 66 on 12th June 2022. I was asked about my age.
I replied:
” I am old enough for the past, young enough for the future. “.
Let us live and enjoy every single minute of our lives by being positive.
My best wishes for all your endeavors.
“It is the first few blows on the anvil of the life that give the human weapon the set and temper that carry him through life’s battles.”
We n MGIMS were lucky to have you great teachers at the outset of our medical professional journey!!
Well played, Mama!
Your contribution to the institute is a gold leaf.
You created a platform and slogged the initial power play.
Now the young ones only have to score at the pace you had set to achieve the targets.
You are the inspiration and many are followers
We are enjoying your write ups. We are amazed to read them.
WELL PLAYED
Sir, our best wishes are always with you..
You not only taught us medicine but we have learnt from you how be honest and truthful no matter what..reading your write ups feels like you are still guiding us…🙏🙏🙏
MS Office will miss you Sir!
A great career SP . Well done . I’m sure you have a lot planned for your retirement . Enjoy it .
All the best to u sir for a new phase of life. We are looking forward to your writings.
Best wishes, Sir!
All the best Sir !
Enjoy the retirement SP, and I am sure you will make most of it as usual.
Sanjay Gadre
Very well done and written SP👌All the best for the second innings!
Our best wishes Sir, for your new inning!🙏
Sir, you did a marvelous job as MS…transformational indeed!👏👏👏 Best wishes for a new inning of your choice and as all of us know you shall sparkle there too!
Sir, you’re such an inspiration to us. 🙏
Great innings …all the best!
Always #findingthehumanelement 📚
Life imitates cricket eh….
Best wishes SP!
Very nice work done by you. All the best for your future inning.
Congratulations for your successful first inning and all the best for second innings!
Congratulations sir for successfully completing the stint as MS and All the very best for your future endeavors…
All the very best SP for your 2nd innings
Sir your expression of thoughts are superb. I am from MGIMS 1975 batch. I always read your messages and other write ups. Keep it sharing. Thanks
Good decision, Sir.
Just came to know yesterday that you have finally handed over the reins of hospital to new team at MS office. An exemplary MS ship spanning for more than a decade … more than 13 years. The face of Kasturba hospital changed completely in the last decade with value addition in form of increasing bed strength and services to cater to ever increasing patient load. Sir, your tenure has been inspiring and your accomplishments as MS have revamped health care at Sevagram. The turbulent challenging times of Covid under your leadership have been a learning exercise not only in terms of administration but also showcased a true evidence based Physician. Sir, you have always inspired and motivated me with your work ethics and professionalism. I would like to congratulate you for a wonderful innings.
Hi Dr Kalantri,
You are leaving it after adding so much to the institution, a job well done and appreciated by so many.
All the best in whatever you do next. Hope some day can meet you.
What would be the best way to contact you if I visit Sewagram end of February 2023?
प्रिय श्रीप्रकाश,
जीवन की एक अहम जिम्मेदारी निभा कर दूसरे क्षेत्र को आलोकित करने का स्वप्न लिए इस नाई पारी की शुरुवात करने के लिए अनेकानेक शुभकामनायें. सर गारफील्ड सोबर्स का धैर्य, ब्रायन लारा सी कुशलता एवं गावस्कर जैसी लगन तुम्हे हमेशा न.1 की ही कुर्सी देगी.
नई जिम्मेदारी आपकी प्रतीक्षा में है.
पुनः अनेकानेक शुभकामनायें.
Excellent write up dear SP.
It was really sad to know about your resignation, but still I appreciate this bold decision.
Now that you are free from administrative burden you can focus more on your hobbies, reading, writing. And more importantly enjoy quality time with family and grandchildren.
As always, our best wishes to you and the family.
With love,
Yours,
Madhusudan
Congratulations Sir. 🌷
Missed it earlier as Aditya was here in India for last 2-3 weeks …! Days just flew!
Wonderful and inspirational write up. Great to know that you have decided to continue teaching and caring for patients. Wish you had joined MGIMS earlier so that our batch could attend more of your lectures and clinics! Glad that now you will get abundant time to spend more time with your grand kids and they too will be enriched by your precious wisdom and knowledge.
May God shower his blessings abundantly and fulfil all your remaining dreams. Wishing you happy and healthy long life
Thanks for sharing your मनोगत!
Regards 🙏
SP very nice write up.
All the best for your future inning. I think you must write some helpful practical guide books for students .
So now you r free. Come to Nagar sometime.
Congratulations Sir for a wonderful inning! And, best wishes for an adventurous new inning!
Even though I did not have the fortune to be a student of yours I look forward to reading your insightful posts.
All our teachers were our mentors and guides. In our youth we didn’t realize the strong influence all of you had on our young minds.
Sir, I personally wish you success in whatever you do next, may it be fulfilling. Wishing you and your family happiness and good health .

Dear SP,
I’m happy and grateful to you for sharing this.
I resisted responding to it quickly, for I wanted to take some time to let your thoughts and feelings seep in.
This is one of the outstanding piece of expressed thoughts and reflections on such turnings.
So, these many years as MS, was it your sojourn ?
I think — no, it was an inning you played, you participated.
You appropriately expressed the experiences of your inning — “It was the time of……”
This quote is my oft liked description of situations in my life.
I very much liked your last line — “may the road to their future aspirations be paved with dreams “.
So much well said.
Your expressions of your reflections are touching, and one is moved with your feelings.
One point : Won’t you like to write a book on your years as MS ? I’m sure so many aspirants of this position , and so many others who completed as MS would sure find it interesting and rewarding.
Do consider this idea in your forthcoming inning.
Cheers & best wishes for your upcoming innings
Dear Dr Kalantri,
As usual, a highly enjoyable essay about your retirement from management (can’t imagine you will ever retire from looking after patients and teaching/research!). I particularly enjoyed the analogy with cricket since in the last few years, mainly to play with my son, I have taken it up again after a gap of at least 40 years.
I had seen the news of Poonam taking up the role of MS, in the 1982 batch WhatsApp group. But did not know that she was replacing you! I can imagine guiding the vast ship of MGIMS over the last few years during Covid must have also taken its toll. Your shoes will be difficult for Poonam to fill but at least she has the advantage of being able to depend on you for your sagacious advice when needed.
Best wishes for your next innings as clinician and teacher as well as grandfather. I bet Mrs Kalantri is relieved that she can have more of your time.
Regards
Amulya
Respected Sir,
Congratulations on such a fabulous innings.. beautifully penned. Am sure MGIMS couldn’t have had a better MS than you and will now miss you. I write in deep reverence and admiration.. and I hope to meet you some day soon and seek your blessings too.
Sincerely, Jaishree
SIrji, You were the right choice when you began your innings and your current decision to move on, is the right choice, all because your initiation to cricket was as an observer/ spectator from the eastern stands.
So proud of you.
Keep teaching, the students are not just only in the four walls of the class rooms, but all around.
It has been a great privilege to have you as a teacher and a guide.
You have always inspired us in; humility, dedication and honesty.
It does not matter what chair you preside on, your virtues will resonate and enlighten us always.
Thank you,
Sharad
🙏🏼
OMG …. This one is really amazing sir 👌👌👌
You won’t believe it sir, but just the other day I was also thinking that the time is going to come soon …
Dear sir, it’s indeed a great journey. MGIMS has greatly benefited from your holistic view of the issues. You have designed a future ready hospital. The foundations you have laid will go a long way in creating a more sustainable model.
Warm regards,
Ashutosh
Dear sir,
No words will be sufficient to “ repay” what, I believe, the collective owes you- students, staff, alumni, management. For as long as I can remember my visits to my alma mater, over the past 15 years, you have been an enthusiastic, driven force enabling the beautiful unfolding of the transformation of MGIMS. I remember how excited you were is sharing the plans for so many of these monumental changes- the old library conversion, the old gynae/ peads conversion, going paperless when no other major med school was thinking of one, so on……. But yes, your decision is another exciting phase of your life. Looking forward to meeting an even more “chilled out” Dr SP on my next visit💐💐💐💐It is great that you will remain an active clinician and teacher💞💞
Respected sir,
The news is really indigestible that you are leaving, not just because you are elder than me and hold a special place in my heart but also because you are the true motivation for me and even my other MGIMS colleagues. I feel sad to hear that you are leaving because whenever I reached you with my sad face you made me smile by helping me out every single time and supporting me in all my tough times.The positive part of this news is, though you are leaving your post but you will be there with me in this department. At last I would just like to add one thing that though you are leaving your post, you will never leave our hearts. Hats off to your work sir you have another level of potential in you.
Thank You Sir,
~ Nandini Patil
Respected Sir
A wave of mixed feelings gushed in the mind appreciating your contribution to the institute and medical field.
You too must be facing nostalgia, ruminating various events of your career as MS, but one feels pride and satisfaction of a job done well with sincerity and honesty.
You are always in our minds and we know you are just a phone call away whenever we need you to guide and support us.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do in Mumbai
Wish you all the best in your post MS career.
When people ask you why you are retiring is proper time to retire. You had made enormous contribution in the development of MGMC.With Best wishes
You leave behind very big shoes to fill Sir 😊. Under your leadership we have seen the hospital change for the better. Although we were not there for a major part of your tenure but we were always proud to have you at the helm of affairs. But I also feel that being a clinician par excellence you will be doing what you love the most. Having you as a teacher has been an honor and privilege. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dear SP,
Great to hear from you.
Very pleased to hear that you have decided to retire from active service to pursue your other passions. Life is all about living it completely.
You have left a wonderful legacy behind.
You have inspired many random people like me to do more for society.
Rest assured, that you leave behind a big set of shoes, with huge imprints to fill with goodness, and good karma.
Your institute will need more than two individuals to complete the work you set out to do.
All the very best with your next gen passions.
Do consider visiting us in the summer.
Kind regards,
Nikki
Such an inspiring and beautiful journey!!
Sir, Thank you for all your contribution in shaping our professional lives,
