Apart from my earning source, Internet has been a virtual friend of
mine. I have been using this virtual magic for more than 12 years. Many
of you may think, it’s not a big deal but I know how rare this is in my
country. I used to use Internet through using the land line. I used to
get speed for about 3-5 kbps LOL. Believe me I was happy as I didn’t
have any particular reason of getting a high speed Internet service.
Even though, there were very few service providers who could provide
better speed than what I used to get. I still remember my first email
id. One of my elder brothers (not blood relative) helped me to open an
account on Yahoo. It was something special at that point of time. It
felt great as I was in the list of few thousands of Internet users in my
country. Initially, I was not sure how to start with as I didn’t have
any net friend to send mail. So, I decided to make some friends, so that
I could send them emails whenever I would want. It was exciting in way
because I would be able to connect with different countries people. I
love to make new friends from different areas. I have always preferred
sharing experience related to the lifestyles, traveling, hobbies and
other as usual features.
However, my first attempt to get a friend from online was in the MSN chat. It’s like almost 6 years that I am not being able to do that. I don’t even know if MSN chat is still exist or not. It was quite special for me as I was not sure what to do now LOL. There were thousands of chatters out there, and gossiping like hell. I was wondering whether they will accept my existence here or not. Within 2 hours of communication, I did manage to get 4 people’s email id. I used to mail them to know how they were doing. Whenever I used to get mails from them, it would make my day in a way. Still I didn’t have any experience talking with my country’s users. After few months of chatting on MSN, I did manage to get almost hundreds on net friends. I used to chat like hell as it went out like an addiction for me. From morning to deep night, I used to chat whenever I would get any chance. Even though, I still spend almost 7 to 10 hours of Internet but there is not any tendency of chatting like it was at that point of time.
After six months of using Internet, I found out a website where I would get chance of talking with my country’s users. It was a bit different for me as I was habituated talking with my other net friends. Still there was a tendency of exploring. I signed up for an account, and logged to see what this website is all about. It was also a chat based website; therefore, it was not that difficult for me to get the attention. Within few weeks, I became a popular member out there. The most interesting part was the voice chat. At morning, I used to get good bandwidth speed, so I used to utilize that condition through voice chatting. It was actually fun talking with different peoples at a time. They used to talk with random topics like sharing their views on as usual condition, personal issues, political and social issues. So, it was a great place as I was being able to learn so many things. Besides, I used to get help whenever I needed any information related to the Internet usage and tools.
After staying for 1 month, I did manage to get 5 or 6 friends. They were all from my country, but living in abroad. They used to express their disappointments of not being able to visit their own land. Even though, I could not believe why they would think like that as there are not reasons of coming back here. I always planned for going abroad but couldn’t do so for many reasons. I guess everyone has his or her own perspective to express any condition. Life provides so many twists in our life that we always get into a hole of confusion….
