With time, and I would say with a little maturity, I got busy with other stuff and could hardly find time to visit friends’ houses to use their computers, but at a hidden corner of my heart, I felt the same fascination for owning a computer. On my 14th birthday, my father told me that he wants to take me to the computer shop and purchase a brand new computer for me. I could not believe what I heard! That night it was tough for me to sleep. In the morning I wake up earlier than usual and went to a computer shop with my father. He bought a Dell Laptop that was a Pentium 4 machine. While returning home, I found myself on cloud nine. I opened the box after returning home and showed it to my mother and other relatives.

As a young child, that was a long-expected gift that my father gave to me, and till now it’s the best present -materialistically speaking, someone gave to me. You know how passionate we can sometimes become, especially in our childhood, when we long for something. I know it was not easy for my father to buy me this computer from his financial condition but still, he sacrificed his other joys to make me happy. That was something truly special.
