Bipin Joshi Retired From Technology Field

The news is Bipin Joshi, one of the MVPs of Microsoft, retired from Technology Field recently.

Bipin Joshi is one of the professionals that I admire. He has been working with .NET ever since its release and wrote a couple of books, some published by Wrox Press and some on his own. He used to run training programmes on .NET at Thane, Mumbai. He restricted the batch size to just 8 to give personal attention. As the result batches used to be filled months before.

I do not know him personally but always admired his writings. His credentials speak about his technical and other capabilities. Here are some of them:

MVP (Most Valuable Professional) for ASP.NET. This title is given by Microsoft for professionals who help the community.
MCSD - Microsoft Certified Solution Developer - a certification awared by Microsoft after you clear 5 exams.
MCT - Microsoft Certified Trainer - Another prestigious certificate awarded by Microsoft.
A member of ASPInsiders. The ASPInsiders is a select group of international professionals who have demonstrated expertise in ASP.NET technologies
Wrote articles for ASP.NET Pro Magazine, which is an exclusive magazine for ASP.NET pros.
Registered Medical Practitioner in Alternative Medicine (RMP-AM) and a Doctor of Naturopathy (ND).
Author of books on Yoga.
Off late a trainer of Meditation and Yoga.

That's a lot for one person. But, that's what Bipin Joshi is (rather was).

Recently when I visited his website, I found a sentence saying that he retired from Technology field. I was natuarally shocked and wanted to confirm it and sent a mail. Here is the reply to that mail. Especially I was amazed by his words. It is like retiring from Cricket when you are in 20s and scoring hundreds.

Thank you for your email.

Yes. He renounced technology to continue his spiritual path he started many years ago. 

To quote his own words - "God now wants me to do something else".

He will not conduct any .NET training programs or write articles/books henceforth. 

All our websites will continue to remain available but no new additions will be made.

Now-a-days he is conducting classes on Yoga and Meditation.

For more details about Bipin Joshi, visit any of his websites.

I wish Bipin Joshi would accomplish all his goals set for himself.

Of course ASP.NET community would certainly miss him.

Srikanth.
