Nobody used to play AOE II? Oh the hours I spent on that game.

 

 

Deciding that I will play it fair and then getting pissed on by AI and cheating to victory.

 

I remember once someone told me one cheat code (Before I knew how to use Google) lumberjack for wood and I didn't know any other, so I used get tons of wood and trade it all for other resources.

 

Then someone told me megagames.com pe cheats mil jaayenge. I was in third or fourth then and I misspelled mega as maga. Well it was my first encounter with boobies.

AOE? Bhayya windows 3.1 me paintbrush khul jaye thik se vohi bahut tha :/

-Comics/video games were locked up during school time. Only allowed during Christmas Vacation and Summer holidays (not Diwali as I usually had exams right after them, DAMN U CBSE). Dad knew that I am someone who can get his attention diverted easily, so he made sure I didn't fall for such things during school days. I thank him for that as he knows me perfectly.

-Used to play cricket during winter and summer, and table tennis during rains as grounds would get wet. Football we played for few months until everyone got bored. Time was fixed for playing during school days though. I had to return before 7:30 else a big scolding was waiting for me for coming late.

-Had a sweet gf with whom I broke up during 10th boards to concentrate on studies as I got like 70% in 1st pre-boards. Studies=serious business

 

I actually feel sad that I didn't take my studies seriously enough. I used to lock my room for studies, but used to do other things like stealing comics from locked box above and reading them or plain old imagining things like I am a super hero and other dumb stuff like I am wrestler and used to imagine finishers and other storylines (easily diverted bit I told above was at work here), or play book cricket. Used to study on exam morning by waking up real early. This carried on till 12th boards.

 

PS: I was a topper till 5th, then in top 3 till 12th in my class. In Engineering, I completely stopped studying, and barely passed in exams. I still sometimes feel I could have done much better and worked for some software giants like Google/FB etc by doing IIT and MS and other BS. But major issue was I HATED STUDIES. HATE THEM TO CORE NOW AS WELL. Studies=f**king BORING BS.

Here's a timeline :

 

Age 12 - 1993 : First experience of what fear meant, get back from Boarding school to go home, Waiting at the Railway Station in Mumbai for mom / dad to pick me up with 2-3 other school mates, everyone starts running around, had no idea what just happened, absolutely terrified, can remember every minute even today when I close my eyes, anyways had a wonderful guy helped the 3 of us a lot, took us to the police station where there was a Mr. Sampat, kept us so well. On a small little TV they had we could see what was going on outside, the Bombs had exploded. My dad was in a Meeting at the BSE, to pick me up he had left about 20 minutes before it all happened.

 

f**k that crap here's the good stuff,

 

Age 13 : First GF, Damn and when she once saw me speak to another girl in school she thought I was cheating on her, she broke up, her last line "You Ruined My life" lol, Become the school Junior team Hockey goal keeper, Thought I was a star now at that time. God knows what I even played lol, became a class monitor, Thought I was now the prime minister, slapped a guy for not coming on time lol. Ah and finally after some time with a Grayscale GAMEBOY, I now had a GameGear, and trust me it was like the thing to own in those days, a hand held with a color screen.

 

Age 14 : First trip to NYC, Went to this store "Nobody beats the Wiz, where I first saw a color screen computer, and my first IBM Thinkpad which dad got from there, and got my cherry broken thanks to an adult horny female, dad's friend took me to a strip club in Vegas, but sad part is I was thrown out of the Casino in Luxor. The guy knew it was a fake ID.

 

And sometime in between I remember a walkman which we used in school where all we did was play 'Mysterious Girl' lol,

 

I had no internet, our school computers had the Green Monitors, printing rubbish on a dot matrix printers for events made me assume I am so creative. But truly miss the time, esp. playing football in school esp. when it's Raining the field is all mucky, and owning a cool pair of Football shoe itself was such a talk of the day. Things like Nike Air etc were like the things to want, I remember the first time I saw a guy with Reebok PUMP shoes in early 90's and I needed them so badly and my damn dad got me LA GEAR. I don't even know where these things disappeared.
