Mammooty,Kajol, Lotus and Internet

It was 6.30 am, and I was sleepy. It was unusual for me to wake that early, for it's vacation. I rode my bicycle to the computer centre where I had been a part of vacation classes that were supposed to teach me Lotus 123 and a new program called Excel. The day was special, our tutor had promised to show us a magic.

Every eyes focussed on the monitor. A browser opened up, he typed in mammootty.com on the address bar. We waited for five minutes; a black and white hour glass was right in front of us. Then a page loaded up, it had pictures of Mammootty. The tutor then proclaimed with pride, "well I don't know these Malayalam actors much". He then typed in Kajol, and voila!...we were now looking at wedding pictures of Kajol.

"So children, this is Internet"
Next he showed us an e-mail. It had an 'attachment', a game that needed him to catch a giant fly on the computer screen with his mouse pointer.

I returned home, thrilled to have seen a 'web page', and yeah, Mammooty had one! (I was always a fan of this guy. Mammooty-Mohanlal fan clashes were common in our class room). I kept thinking about the advances that ride in so fast. 'Things have changed, why do they teach me windows 3.1 anymore at school?', I thought.

Well that was in April, some year...may be 1999 ( yeah, at school we were still being shown windows 3.1).
