Conjoined twins: Veena wants to be scientist, Vani engineer

Conjoined twins Veena and Vani are inseparable. The twins are growing for the past 13 years in the Niloufer Hospital in Hyderabad. They are being looked after by specially trained staff. They are now in Class V being educated in the hospital itself. Giving an interview to a TV channel, the twins revealed their inner thoughts. Veena says: "I am fine. The teaching here is very good. They are teaching me different subjects. I am learning all the subjects. I see TV. I play Chess and also games with ball. `In future I would like to be a scientist. I want to do research on twins like us.' As for Vani, she says: `I want to be an engineer. First thing in the morning, we do yoga, exercise. After that bathing and breakfast over, we begin to study at 9 am. Classes go on till 4 pm. Then we relax for some time. Play games. See TV and then do home work. Then I do drawing. Then dinner and we go to sleep.' The All-India Institute of Medical Sciences ruled out surgery for the conjoined twins.
