Happy Birthday World Wide Web!

Wow what a day to start my blog!

Today is the 20th birthday of the internet founded by Tim Berners-lee a scientist at CERN. Interestingly the world wide web was first used by Tim and the other employees in CERN to be updated with the research going on in different countries.


Anyway going back memory lane, my first tryst with the internet was somewhere in 1998 when i was in junior college. At that time two things were very popular: Internet cafe and Billiards. We use to spend many a weeks chatting and playing billiards. I still remember rediff and yahoo messenger which i don't use anymore after the advent of Google. The internet has been a major part of my life since then.


A special thanks to Tim for this wonderful thing called world wide web!
