Computer ....

When I was thinking about the next blog, I was wondering what to write, Since my thought process went blank. I want to write a thanks giving blog.

Yes I got a spark, I need to thank somebody who really changed my life.The Machine changed so many lifes, I am one among them. The life which was dull,not having color, not having direction to the life with full vibrance, fun filled above all into a meaningful journey by a machine .

The Machine is computers. I remeber a advertisement . The man, machine and the legend. It holds good for me, the man is me , the machine is computer and legend is ofcourse computers.It all started way back in 1990, When I completed my graduation in Physics, there was a information about a machine which was slowly getting into prominence.Infact my cousin was the one first joined in Graduation in Computer Science from Regional Engineering college, Every home in our family take him as a role model and it ignited fire in me.

I want to learn computers but I m not so intelligent or hardworking like my cousin but I started learning computers after my graduation, it was on DBASE III plus, COBOL, Wordstar and Lotus 123. It was fun learning and I do not know why I am learning computers.I felt it was so easy and why it requires intelligence.

Then came my post graduation where I completly immerssed me in Physics and applied electronics then computers. I forgotten or the interest I had was disappered. To be frank, I started loving nothing but sitting ideal and dreaming big with out doing anything to make it big.

Now when I hear Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam saying dream and win in your life, I remember whatever I dreamt that time taking a shape. The above sentence is for lighter vein. I was into pharmaceutical marketing and I was loosing myself in this materialistic world and forgetting the machine Computers..

A day came in my life through one of my friend called Mr.Ranjit, When we were having discussion about future , He told me that now Y2K catching up and if you do Mainframes course you can fly to United States.

So Stage is set for me, I resigned my job and got money from my parents and started doing a course in Mainframes. I learnt nothing other than dreaming big about US. The land of opportunities .

I started playing games, I started interacting with computers through Windows, I started using mouse, I started using Windows Word. This skill sets are enough to go to US ? No way. But the lazy heart will never understand it capabilities.

I applied for a job in CANADA, where i said I posses skill set of mainframes and even cleared my interview with ease . I started learing COBOL, I started learing JCL, I started learing lot of things in computers. But my luck did not take to CANADA.

Ofcourse I am really not so interested to learn because it was tiresome. You know after this I started learning ORACLE, VB . I started programming too. But I was on the wrong time and dot com bust, busted my dream to become big in this IT world.

Meanwhile without my knowledge the dream machine influenced my life , when I started browsing, I started sending mails to many friends of mine who are in US.
I got into habit of chatting. This habit has tought me lot, GOOD , BAD and UGLY.
I got lot of good friends and I started learing what is happening around me.

So When I got my job in Computers, all the knowledge I aquired helped me to excel , Ofcourse I was not into hardcore coding but into marketing . It was really happy moments for me since I started earning through the machine for which I spent lot of money.

The job was secured , next my life. personal life. Yes my habit of chatting long in computers got me a special relation and that relation is special because I got my betterhalf. Yes I met my wife through net and that relation made me a happy person today. My sincere thanks to computers.

I got my first bike on my own and it was through the money I earned through the legend. I got my first car and so on .

The man who was from no where in this society to a respectable person in the society all because of the machine called computers.

I cannot name my son Computer otherwise I would have named him.

So I can say thanks to this machine by writting a blog and that too in the machine which gave me a life.
