I donno why but reading at the posts of Mr.anilsaxena I feel that he is bluffing about his age...
But if he is really 58 then good going Sir!

Hey Imran Bhai,
How dare you doubt my statement about my age. Sir, I was borned on 30-12-1948 (If you give me your email address I shall send you copy of my birth certificate
🙂 ). It is just another thing that I still think like younger people. Computers are my hobby and there is no age bar for that. My both children are settled in their things (both live abroad). Movies are therefore a pastime for me and my wife. And going for movies in movie halls can be quite a burden on pocket (in Delhi the cheapest tickets are 125/- or so) and with terrorist targetting movie halls, one is not inclined to go there. So instead of getting VCD/DVD on rent, I just download movies. I have given thought to legality / morality issue in downloading movies from web, and I have my own views on it, which I will not write here.
Thinking and behaving like younger ones can be sometimes embarassing. People think you are phoney and perhaps outright cranky, but then one has to pay for good things in life. People of my age when meet, talk about their diabetes, blood pressure, children (particularly the daughter-in-law) not behaving properly and world at large not being unfair to them (how many times you have heard "Zamana bahut kharab ho gaya hai" (the world is doomed) from people in their fifties). So when I ask younger geeks whether I can use a
Linksys PAP-2T ATA on Skype or when I want to discuss whether a bluetooth headset can be configured for Yahho voice, people think that "buddha satak gaya hai". Irony of life. When you are young and have desires, many a times you do not have money to pursue your desires. And by the time money comes, desires are gone. I want to beat this phenomena. And unfortunately I had an unhappy childhood. So I have to compensate for that also.
Pray for my long life and with best wishes for all young "geeks". "Kya kool hain hum".
