My Vidyarambam Day was one day later than the original date this year. On that day after breakfast Raja went out with his usual "etho varen" and I on my part did not ask any questions.
He came back after about two hours and handed me a package telling me it was for me and for me alone.
It was a flat packet about the size of a table diary.Was I surprised when I opened the packet and took out what was inside:Yes it was a laptop/netbook, all my own.
Raja told me that now I have a laptop of my own I should not depend on others to type my mail.
So I have started typing, it is a very slow process and I am learning to type with two fingers.
Now within a period of two weeks Raja has also taught me how to use the internet: open pages, how to compose a mail and how to send it too.
I feel very good and a little proud of myself.
I feel great when I open my mail and send back replies. Me an eighty plus woman sitting at my laptop and typing this note.
I now understand the true meaning of the Malayalam proverb "Venamengil chakkai verillum kaikyum". (If you will, even a Jackfruit will sprout from the roots.) And I am here proving it to myself.
I am giving enough time to my children and others who read my blog to prepare themselves to tolerate my spelling mistakes and typing errors.
I have taken more than two hours to type and revise these few lines
Well, I am only a novice so it is ok. Please wish me success Thanks.
I always used to tell my children that it is never too late to learn anything new.
Now Raja has given me a chance to practice what I have been preaching.
