Storage in those days

When I started working and little bit earlier also, floppies was something that impressed me. Data was stored on it. And not everyone used to carry a floppy. Imagine a PC (not XT), those days. I used to train students in DOS/LOTUS/WORDSTAR. The class used to wait in the labs in the front of the PC. When I gave them the floppies is only when the lab would start.

This is the 8 inch diskette, though never used on the PC. the PC's used the 5.25 inch diskette and later 3.5 inch diskettes shown below.

Modes of Transport : History

Luna TFR Plus. During my school days, my friend Pankaj had one. He was the first to graduate from a cycle to a Luna.

My friend Joseph had a Bajaj Chetak. That was the second vehicle that I drove.

Bajaj Super was the first vehicle my brother had purchased.

I had a friend we used to call him "kaka" (uncle). He had a Lamby and we used to ride 5 friends on it.

Later one of our friend bought a TVS 50. I remember we used to run and jump and sit on it.

This was my first motor cycle I rode. I have never purchased a two wheeler in my life. Hero Honda CD 100. My brother owns one.

Rajdoot. Any key could start it. Even a decent nail could start it. It was so simple those days.
