I Used to write yellow postcards to my dear Mom 15 years back from the hostel in Darjeeling.... :)used to have masala dosa in 4 Rupees and regular user of small nP pink chewing gum.I used to eat churan from a vendor for 25/50 paisa too.... :)
And 15 years before, arab world was even more worse then todqy, they were using children(young boys upto 10 yrs old from poor asian countries) in their camel races ....
15 years back I was still doing the same job and had a desktop (P3)instead of an i3 laptop. There were no forums like this. There were no traffic jams. It was taking only 10 to 12 minutes for me to reach my office from home and backwards but now it is taking 30-40 minutes. My best shopping place was the souqs and was dining in Welcome Restaurant.
Nice to think that 15 years ago I'm in my nursery days just singing ABC song..:)) I cant believe how i turned out now as a lady compared to that 5 y/o little girl.. HAHAHA
I think my modem was a blisteringly fast 28.8k (Well 28.8k claimed speed). Surfing was much more leisurely then. Plenty of time to keep popping off to make a coffee, especially with all the drop outs, and constant redial attempts.
Yeah stuff sure was different back then. I was still in school and having a computer was luxury we couldn't even dream of! And I had never ever connected to the Internet back then...amazing how so much has changed in fifteen years!
Humm... let me think... 1996.... I was surfing the net on my wind up modem, I was down loading music (which was good music back then), and listening to it while I worked. Can't remember downloading movies or watching movies on a PC at that time though. Of course I was communicating my email, but there was no VOIP back then. There was a chat MSN type thing, and I think it belonged to Yahoo, but I can't remember clearly. And I was using MIRC on news groups. I had a CD writer and was burning music to disc. And windows 95 was the operating system of choice.

Actually I have a portrait in an attic somewhere that is getting older, and I stay young all the time RJ.
TimeBandit - don't we get younger as we age ?
TK :)
most lives r controlled by the 'E' media and Net
yep, especially the younger generation, they cannot imagine a life without Net.
physical, mental and social well being is taking a toll due this culture
Dont worry Rizks, After 15 more years there will be a lot of people to join your club.
Afrin, are you still in Qatar?
15 years ago, I was 15 years younger.
