When I started using the Internet, the first thing I did was to create an email account with Yahoo!.. That was... I think in 1998. .....I dont remember anybody sending me emails to that id. It was just there to tell others that ..yes this is my Yahoo Id.
I remember, I used to go to internet cafe's after my college hours...It was around 45 Rs/ Per hour or so.. very expensive... escpecially when you are studying.. and you have very limited pocket money.. When I go for browing..I use Yahoo Search. Yahoo Mail.. Yahoo was very popular at that time.. And the speed was amazingly slow...I think it was a 56kbps dialup connection shared by 10 people. So now you can imagine the speed.
Possessing a Personal Computer was my dream since I started using it in 1996..My dream partially came true when I assembled a PC(Celeron/128mbRAM/40GB HD) during my post graduation. And the cost was shared among my room mates. Even though It was a shared PC.. It was me who has used it to the maximum extend.. there was no part of the PC that I have not touched..I remember...Once the hard disk was crashed and it became completely unusable...then I had to seek technical support from Seagate(Hardisk Manufacturer) to repair it....I had this "Geek" image among my friends...May be because I used to crash the system quite often..I don't know.
In 2003 I have my first Personal Computer!!..at home. In fact it was the same old PC we assembled during my post graduation. When the course was over I paid them their shares.. and took it home with me..
At home I took a BSNL dialup connection..And you know the first time when I got connected to the internet from home .... I felt like..There's a channel from my house to the rest of the world...something like that....I don't know I can't explain it in a few words...

Hi Aneesh mone,
I read your article on the Internet.It is really wonderful and good and I never expected this from you. Please continue writing these articles and may God bless you. Man's life is too short according to bible in psalms chapter 49 words10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 I calculated the number of days that we might live on this earth and we might only live up to 70 or 80 years. So for example, 365*80=29200 and my life has only a total of 29200 days.This I discussed my family .God has given me about 17885 days to live and I have a balance of 11315 days. After my last days I will go to heaven in the midst of my heavenly father Lord Jesus Christ. I want go to my heavenly home. Did you think about our last days mone?
I am always worried about my last days and am always asking my Jesus, "Can you please give me a passport or permission to heaven?"
