I had no idea even how to start and shutdown a computer when I first entered the Computer Lab in our college in second semester. I was in Computer Science major and like majority of the students in our class It was expected that I would be knowing these basic of computer. But no, I didn’t know. Unlike most of them I didn’t have a computer at home either. It was all a big black box for me. I still don’t know whether I was supposed to know those things while enrolling in college. But that is a different thing. I was shocked to know that day that I had to learn computer to start learning computer at my college.
I lost all interest and started bunking computer labs. This made the situation even worse. I could not catchup on things, didn’t know what is programming, how the loops work and how the hell the theory matches up with practical.
The person who saved me during this time, is one of my best friend forever was Kingshuk. He was the first person who taught me basically what computer is, how can we have fun with computers how can we love it. He was the first person who gave me set of software’s including “C” compilers and let me play with them.
He gave me a CD full with softwares,flash animations,games and compilers. He also gave me a floppy drive.
Whenever i used to write any code I used to show to him. Even for silly codes also he always showed great encouragements.
Not only there, he stood by me till the last day of my college. When one by one all friends of mine got jobs and I couldnt make it, it was Kingshuk who always stood by me and supported.
Today whenever I have to write my hobby I write “Coding”. My colleagues today know me as aboring geek.
But if I didn’t have Kingshuk that day by my side, probably my Engineering would have ended with the frustration.
With time gradually lost touch with all my friends. Even with Kingshuk. We were best buddies. Modnapore,Kerani Tola, I promised many times but never visited.
I cannot reach him,dont have his number,contacts but still whenever I miss friend I miss him. Life changed ,got so many responsibilities and noticed oneday family is not enough and we need friend a good friend with whom we can talk rubbish for hours but I dont have any now.
Searching for him desperately.
