Thanks, but believe me, such contrast makes you a loner in your primary profession, rather than being percieved as a person with addon professional skill. Most students around me are submerged with their 1000-pages books, patient cases, post-graduate entrance studies, etc. and I find myself completely alone there. I hardly find myself of help to others given this situation.

Such isolations are harmful to me(or anybody in such situation) because you find absolutely no appreciation/approval for whatsoever you are doing. Most of my collegaues think that I am a gone-case because I am quite irregular with hospital postings, I am not that bright at my medical studies, etc. But the reality is different from this. To say the least, I am have my web services company. I have developed a state-or-art-software and I am chasing corporates and SMEs with good success.

You see, there is always a big price(and big reward) for choosing the difficult path and persisting through back-to-back failures. If you want to take your hobby as a job, then, speaking conservatively, you will have to pass through a terrific phase to make the hobby-job as the main source of your livelihood. I have lots more to share, but perhaps its too early to speak now

And yes, I have enjoyed every bit of the struggle in the last 3 years of my 'awakening'.

I would like to invite NucleusKore to share his views on this because I believe we are sharing a somewhat-similar situation.

[rhitwick]

Rohan, two of my friends are pursuing medical degree. I've seen them going mad on their study, even in holidays they used to bring those HUGE books home and get submerged into them. So I've a fair idea how tough its on u balancing two worlds.

C, I'm no one to tell u wat to do and wat not. U must be knowing more than me wat u r doing and wat u actually want from life.

CoolG5 created this thread shairing his experience with u and c wat I'm doing, I've messed up the whole purpose.

Rohan, tention nahi leneka. Njoy.

P.S. For 5 minutes, I request u to imagine that u r not pursuing medical degree and visualise what u r doing then.

That is no problem, infact I have hardly had any successful communication when starting with a 'Agenda to speak about'.

I have been doing it for the past 3 years

Great. I asked somewhat similar question when I met NucleusKore. Like how he manage both. The answer was a small story actually and I loved it. Like how it all started, about his school days, his first PC etc etc. It was really great.

Actually it is really nice to meet people who are really good in more than one field.

(now count the word 'really' in the above post - how come old people use the same word hundred times !)

Being skilled in multiple professions helps a lot to your personality and income too

Sometimes it takes almost 20 minutes before you can lay your hands on the hot, crunchy, delicious vada pav, which is the best vada pav in Mumbai, as per surveys.

We purchased two vada pavs & were off to the sea shore which is in the vicinity. It was great to chat with Rohan in an open environment while munching on the hot spicy vada pav. After a while, we both proceeded to Shivaji park, which is within walking distance from Kirti college. All the while, we carried on discussions ranging from our families to forums, designing to development & also the usual windows vs linux talk was there too. I got to learn a lot from Rohan Shenoy, who can be called a genius in web technologies (webmaster).

Kirti Vada Pav & Shivaji Park.... You reminded me of my school days

I do not know what am I supposed to comment here.
No comments



Some techs usually find it very hard to digest that doctors are good in tech areas, but what they should realise is that interdisciplinary sciences is a field by itself. For example in Rohan's case, bioinformatics, if he is really interested.

In my case I am interested in linux systems administration, not exactly into programming or anything. At the moment there is no profit motive as I am still in the learning phase. I do a lot of linux installs for free, especially for my students. Once I install with the multimedia pack they don't come back; they're quite happy with it. They don't even update, why bother they say !!

What got me into linux? Curiosity, and BSODs of Windows 98 SE. I started with RH 7.0 which I got with SAMs RH 7.0 Unleashed. It was a pain in the arse to use. Wasn't very difficult for me to see why people preferred the BSODs to it ! Then moved on to Mandrake (no Mandriva) 8.0 (box pack !), then 8.1, 8.2, then RH 8.0, and then no linux for a while. Finally got back into it with Novell making SUSE 9.3 professional free. That's where the open SUSE project started, and there's been no looking back since.

Like I said elsewhere, I am not anti Microsoft, I am anti Monopoly. I want people to have a REAL CHOICE, to decide and say,

YES I want this propriety software and I am ready to pay for it, even though Linux gives me similar software for free.

YES I want to have an antivirus running in the background, because it makes me feel GOOD, like SUPERMAN or ROBOCOP. I don't care if Linux doesn't need an antivirus.

[Cool G5]

^True.
I too like to be open to new choices and I too don't like monopoly.

[Gigacore]

heya rohan!!

[din]

One more person is there, (I mean Doctor and interested in IT field) an old member actually, I think he is not active in Digit forum nowadays

Medpal / Bhavin.

[victor_rambo]

@NucleusKore, thanks for sharing your story. I started with Linux mostly out of curiosity. I like your quality of not 'imposing' linux on people.

BTW have you tried on commercializing your linux knowledge?

I thought I answered that before you asked^



I would like to do some certification, maybe LPI. I bought the book for the first exam, in the month of February this year. I am yet to inaugurate it :-P
