Rohit's Biographical Note

Wrote this down before some interview. Later found it to be good and kept it.

I have had a life till date that has been full of experiences: experiences that have shaped me into what i am today, experiences that have generated the opinion that influence me every moment of my life (right now and in the time to come). I have learnt almost everything i can remeber and reiterate from theser very experiences. Though it is an impossible feat to put it all together in one place, following is a short write up off certian things I thing needs mention.

I was born in Hyderabad where my dad had been doing his job as a research executive with a pharma company. Most of my schooling was in Secunderabad the teaching methodology has been a big influence on me from where I adapted myself to be more practically oriented and to think alternate of "what was written in the book." As i said i learnt to learn from experiences and so i sekked for more and more varying experiences. This led me into more cherished part of my life. A life full of experimentation. I explored teritories of science within and beyond my interests and scope. Rather I'd say this very tendency to experiment led me to develop and recognize my interests. Ofcouse this had the side effects of having some of mine and a lot of my folk's stuff getting opened and in several cases blown off. but i am happy to have a family and friends who always encourages me with whatever i was upto. May be this has led to another tendency in me by virtue of which i hate everyone who try to dicourage my work.

Meanwhile, the experiments continued and my creativity at thinking og more and more of them never seems to cease till date. Throughout my endeavours I have had friends and companions with similiar interests. Sometimes I think of all that i have done and  I seem to get lost in it all. There was Life Sciences - All those Daturas and Beetles & then we had electronics, optics: projectors and telescopes and space exploration and aerodynamics : boomerangs and now i have settled for computers. Though occasionally i dont think twice before jumping to other interesting stuff. I have developed now what I may term as the "go for it" attitude.

I condemn people who believe that you need a strong holding with the fundamental given in the book before starting with experimentation. I go the other way around. Experiment and then go through the book so that you realize what the book was saying was actually happening (or not happening). This gives me the most immense pleasure/satisfaction of all.

Anyway, getting back to my life I moved to Chandigarh when i was in my 10th standard and this was a major setback to my experiments for quiet some time. The schooling here just does not leace time for it all. Anyway I had my priorities and I followed m y heart. Soon I got back to the track I loved so much. Though I had to face bad times (66% in my board exams) I always knew what i wanted and i always did only what i wanted to. Thanks to my family for always being there to support me (despite the financial crunch).

Looking at myself today I see myself being the happiest of all with me being one of the most admired persons around. I am happy that I am still doing what i want to and I am happy to be best at what I am. More recently I have embarked on a more formal method of continuing with my experiments. I have found tremendous interest in research and I see myself strongly working to pursue a career in research. And as always i make sure that i do the best of what i am upto. And right now i am doing just that (ie besides writing this biography).

Further some things i would like to add:

My greatest fear is that I may not be able to attain as much as people expect from me. Sometimes I feel people expect a lot from me. More that and even in some cases different from what I expect of myself. Sometimes it hard to make a decision that goes against what people expect from me. But then my basis principle of following my heart comes in to rescue. Ofcourse the temporary state of indecisiveness discomforts me
