Hello World!

Hello World!

Every programmer in the world knows this statement. I Came across it some 13 Years ago when i was just around 9 years old. I saw my first computer, it was a 386 with 5 1/4 floopy bootable, no hard disk memory . From then to this day it has been a hell of a joy ride for me. Computing , Programing, Hardware all these and more make up most part of what ever i do or think or feel today.

In those days, there was no windows available, we only had a squnkily put Black and White Moniter with a dull flickering cursor on it, what was told me to be called MS-DOS. The idea was very exciting and took my imagination by storm. I was told i could do anything with a computer, and i remember i exclaimed in AWE ..... 'Really,... ANYTHING!' the instructor laughed away and said 'yes Gunish, Anything'

From that day to this day, the quest for actually making a computer do anything and everything has never ended. To this day i am on this journey of invariably Programing and Going through painfull stages of learning and reading Long and non interestting Istructions Manuals (Mostly without the help of any teachers, coz the stuff i ventured into was alien to even my instructors) to find answers to my Quest. How can a computer do 'anything'?.

And to this day the Question still holds its values to me. 'Can Really a Computer do Anything?' Well during this journey i do beleive that we can do many things with a computer. But the 'AnyThing' factor still eludes us. Working on Numerous Projects through my life as a Computer Programmer, i have always sought to find excitement in bore and dull subjects of Database Managemet and Billing systems, (the Funny Irony is i still am Building Some Even Today!).

When will this quest end and how far down the line i am, what all have i worked on and what all is it that i am supposed to do before i become OLD enough to stop Programing,

Is What i am going to write about in this Blog of Mine. Hope somebody somewhere identifies with me and Finds some answers to the eternal Question .... "Can a Computer Do Anything!"
