and there goes the story of a stay-at-home-and-always-on-the-internet-girl. :-) what a lovely and amiable way of depicting the world we all face in the past decades. well said! couldn't have done it better, just that we boys were introduced to much more needless-to-mention type of social networks/media.
lest we forget.
@Joseph: It's more like story of a away-from-home-and-always-on-the-internet-girl :) Believe me, I use less of internet when I'm home. Thank yous. Internet hi khawvel pumpuiah hian chhe ta thut se, kan buai awm tih ringawt ka ngaihtuah tunlai chu. haha. So much down the memory lane, I'm just afraid everything will get erased at one go
Nice... you post made me realised that I've been an internet addict for over a decade :D..
..been there .. done that.. the highest I've paid per hour was Rs 60/- ,after few months, there was another cafe in our colony where they charge Rs 50/hr- and that was the cheapest ever in shillong then.,that was back in 1999. LOL. After few months, it's Rs30/ per hour in Laimu. Shredded my first email as I had signed up with my full name. Then create another email with usa.net. Sad that usa.net was closed. Rediffmail was lightfast they claim it then, it takes around 5 minutes to open an email :D. .... mIRC LOL.. i've been an AOP or SOP in around 14 channels back then #helpstaff, #triviabites, #chhawrpialrun, and I was often + in #aizawlchat, and that's where I met with Tawia and others
