2006 was an era when #Facebook had just started, #LinkedIn probably didn't exist in today’s form, and there were limited questions that you could ask #Google. The Only source of new information you had was your #professors or #seniors.

12th October 2006, I had coded my first webpage (7 days before my exams) and was #ecstatic about it. Next day when I reached #college and showed it to my senior. His reaction was: What’s this #nonsense? Focus on your studies. You have exams in 7 days, and your placement will be there after three years. Better #prepare for that.

I became sad and the next day again showed it to my professor; his reaction was: Shekhar, better publish a paper than publish a random webpage on the #Internet.

I took both the feedback but didn't give up on my #dreams; after many self debates with myself, I concluded that probably my senior or my teacher has no idea how big the internet will be in the future.
