Why do all this
Although there is no physical fight involved, but this idea has been fighting with other ideas to get priority inside my mind since a long time. There were questions, why are you doing it, what is in it for you, why should people even visit your site, how are you going to earn to sustain it, people will see bad intentions etc.
The lockdowns, gave my ophthalmic and medical ideas a rest as there was really no food for thought. So, DocSetu was born, created or it came to the forefront of my mind. I sat down like a student to learn new skills, new technology and actually a whole new language. It took painstakingly long hours to decipher a totally different language, but I persevered, more so because there was nothing else to do! Unluckily, or better still luckily, there were no IT vendors willing to help a mad idea-only doctor, as they were also going through a new phase. So a journey started, first in knowing what I wanted, then what was needed to get that and then how to learn what was to be done and then doing things from a scratch. Phew.
Its a long way to go but I would like to put forward a quote which aptly represents what goes on in my mind while I make this site a more fruitful site for all doctors.
“To fight the good fight is one of the bravest and noblest of life’s experiences. Not the bloodshed and the battle of man with man, but the grappling with mental and spiritual adversaries that determines the inner caliber of the contestant. It is the quality of the struggle put forth by a man that proclaims to the world what manner of man he is far more than may be by the termination of the battle.
It matters not nearly so much to a man that he succeeds in winning some long-sought prize as it does that he has worked for it honestly and unfalteringly with all the force and energy there is in him. It is in the effort that the soul grows and asserts itself to the fullest extent of its possibilities, and he that has worked will, persevering in the face of all opposition and apparent failure, fairly and squarely endeavoring to perform his part to the utmost extent of his capabilities, may well look back upon his labor regardless of any seeming defeat in its result and say, ‘I have fought a good fight.’
As you throw the weight of your influence on the side of the good, the true and the beautiful, your life will achieve an endless splendor. It will continue in the lives of others, higher, finer, nobler than you can even contemplate.”
Thanks for all the appreciation and cooperation extended towards this endeavour which hopefully will help us all as a society.
Keep interacting
