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.

Swami Vivekananda

Of all the saints, Swami Vivekananda inspires me.

Inspiring, Right?

Just Wandering.

Today for my meals, I tried to go to some new street an discover some new shop. Of course I found a new shop, but more so found a Chinese temple. Some Images. (Images from Singapore)

 

God Bless

Lord Hanuman

Of all the deities, Hanuman is one that impresses me. Must be because of my nature matches with him. There are very beautiful pictures of Hanuman once can see on the net, but what I found interesting was in Chinese also there is a "Monkey God". I am yet to find literature to know more about the Monkey God of the Chinese. Some pictures.

Batu Caves, Malaysia.

Batu Caves is spiritually fulfilling. There is a temple of Lord Kartikeya on the hill (limestone hill). There are strong vibrations, that cool your thoughts and drive you to higher planes. Visit it the next time you are there.

Fireyogi

On 2nd Feb this year, I went to Malaysia and had a chance to see the Fire Yogi. I reached late. But still the presence of the Yogi, made a sublime influence on me. He performed the Yagna and it was a great blessing for me. I cannot perform Yagna, but I can see it. Some Images.

Brahmaji and Pushkar

Brahmaji has a temple in Pushkar. Pushkar is located in the heart of Rajasthan. Googling it can give you a lot of information. But here are some photos of Pushkar.

Significance of visiting a spiritual place like  Pushkar, is not looking for material comforts. It is true that, you find items of not good quality, no starred hotels, no Air Conditioning etc, but remember if you want all these then better go to the malls in Mumbai or Delhi. Pushkar is for meditation, peace, non-materialistic and solitude.
