My introduction to computer journey :

I was first introduced to computer in my school lab I guess in 5th actually my whole class went there for working on Excel but the first thing I opened in that computer was paint and everytime my computer teacher comes I used to open MS Excel that's when I came to know we can minimize application .After that my elder brother needed computer for projects and assignment so my father bought computer ( in my case also one bhaiya helped him becoz he didn't knew about computers much) and that computer is still there in my home and this was the tym when i first said "Mere pas v computer hai " then my father enrolled me and my brother in computer classes to learn basic things nd that tym I was amazed so see so many things we can do on computer. Taking about my first email id I told one of my friend to create one of me becoz I didn't knew how to create and guess what it was a weird email id 😀. Mostly I used to go to cyber cafe with one of my friend to search things related to projects becoz back then internet was costly I think rs129 2gb/30days . From not knowing how to prepare a word document to working on different ide it was a great journey and looking forward to many more years .

And a very happy new year 🥳🥳

My introduction to computers:

It was 2nd std when i was introduced to them in my school computer lab, syllabus included drawing basic shapes in MS paint. I sucked, passed with C grade(rest of the subjects were straight A`s). This was all the way back in 2007, (ref: we did not have even bitcoin by then). All other kids had computers had access to computers at homes. My worried parents brought a computer for me when i was in 4th std. (My second C in computer -- "_" ). It was not sound investment by them, we did struggle as a family back then financially.

Short story: I am in deep emotional debt of my parents now!

Happy New Year Tanay. This letter specifically is so resonating with my childhood. Owning a desktop in school was a big dream and now when I look back me and my siblings have our own laptops. What a journey it has been❤️

I still remember in my first computer class building a Indian flag using Photoshop.

Tanay Bhaiya's introduction of digit magazine and computer lab experience is very similar to my school days.🤖
