First Touch of Technology
2004
Got my first personal computer - an Intel Pentium 4 with 512MB RAM, Windows XP, and a massive CRT monitor. Played Super Mario for hours on that ₹50,000 machine. The iconic Windows XP startup sound and the rolling green hills wallpaper became part of my daily life.
That chunky beige box with its whirring fan and the satisfying click of the power button sparked a fascination that would eventually lead me to become a Software Engineer. Hours spent in MS Paint, drawing random shapes and experimenting with colors, unknowingly laid the foundation for my creative problem-solving skills.
Little did I know, those pixelated adventures were the beginning of my journey into the world of computing.
