Staying hungry, Staying foolish! .... Hello Bioengineering

I just started a PhD program in Bioengineering this Fall 2011. For those, who know me from college or before, this could be a surprise and not something anybody would expect me to move. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me too when I start thinking about my future. But when I look back, I can actually connect all the dots. Reminds me of Steve Job's famous Stanford graduation speech.

"Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
"
-- Steve Jobs

Well Bioengineering didn't make sense a few years ago, now that I look back, I can connect those dots.

My quest for harder and complicated problems have led me exactly to them. What I interpreted to be a problem with mechanics, electronics and computers was not hard enough. Life gave me bonus of biology along to go with it. Thank you life for giving me that extra bit that I was missing. 

Now I know why people say, be careful what you wish for. ;)
