Electronic Gadgets from my childhood days attracted me a lot. The Pure interest for a gadget led me to the discovery of the wild world of computers. At the 5 std Level where touching a computer was considered to be a Sin in school full of so called technical experts i had to struggle hard to get near one. All my friends interested in playing games made me an exception who just wanted to see wht was inside. The First interaction with the hardware of a computer came during the science fair where my classmate who had his big bro a comp wizard helped him to keep a collection of old computer parts as a collection. Even though it is the so called junk of his house it did make a prize winning collection as no one had ever seen so much parts together.
Seeing the inner components made me think how such flashy colors and games come from inside such a piece of dusty board full of so called chips tht whirred a lot and made the hell of a noise. This search for knowledge led to friendship with the GaDgEtS. The computers a fascination from my 5 std is the real motivation behind the person who i am now. I had to wait till my 9 to own a computer that too after a long range fight with my parents, emerging victorious in the end i began to search the help of experts to see wht else i can do with the computer other than gaming and playing music. The first actual destruction of the computer took place after 1 yr the day after the warranty ended( these things are designed for 1 yr i think). As usual getting up that day and turning on the computer just did nothing it read
" System Disk Failure, Press ENTER after u insert the disk"
that passed like a lightning bolt through my heart i had experimented with a software i got from a chip magazine that ended up a failure ending all the discoveries i made till that day. I had to set everything right without the calling of a professional, anything that leads to the loss of money will end my life with computers my parents had already warned me that. I thought of the phone a friend option from the famous "KAUN BANEGA CRORPATHI". My Tech Guru Ramakrishnan answered the option and gave the right answer
"The WINDOWS is CORRUPTED"
another bolt hit my heart this led to the call for a professional. But the next few words from raman was like finding water in the whole wide desert, he said that it was a common problem and i can just reinstall myself the computer. The finiding that i can get the computer right myself was the root to all problems it created a confidence in me and the days of destruction to my computer. The release of WIN XP led to the further destruction of my computer i had to install that and for installation i made hell of changes in computer. Even though not even a single game f opened in my computer i ended being the first one around my neighborhood and also in the class to do so. It created the new image for me the reinstaller or the repairer.
The simple thing i did created an image i still keep, computer REPAIRER i still don't get where i repair the comp all i do is destroying the data.As Bryan Adams's song goes on
"Those Were the Best Days of my life"
Those were the days when i enjoyed reinstalling the computer. I got the image as i said it led to repairing of my neighbor's computers also. The love for reinstalling was upto such an extent that i almost did the reinstallation 7 days a week which led to the speeding up of my OS in the piece of junk computer i owned. It even led to such an extent that i could remeber the 25 letter product key of the OS. I found out that it is true "when u own a thing then only you can find the disadvantages about it". I realized what a fool i was when i bought the computer for the prize which was supposed to be a great offer. This made me the assembler i am now. I didn't want others to be cheated so i began to help make others make choice of their computers,happy to say that even though i made mistake in buying my computer i never made a mistake for others.
What actually led to write this blog is the reinstallation of OS in my new computer (even though it is 3 years old it runs with comparable speed to new ones) now i find it hard to reinstall,with the level of use of computer increasing i needed to make backup for everything which is the hardest part. so i now only reinstall the computer once in a month or sometimes once in 3 months.I still enjoy reinstalling computers but not mine. I am a well known maintanence engineer around my local neighborhood all i do is reinstalling but that also is a wonder around here.
