I started my Linux journey,
by begging for a book on Linux
Humble beginnings
It all started by my begging for a book on Linux, some twenty years ago.
In India,
those were the days (early 2000) when not many people knew about Linux.
Linux books were rare
and the w-w-web was not yet as popular as they are today.
And then, I found an innovative way to get
the book I desperately needed -- begging !

What do Indian teachers beg for ?
It worked, and I got the above book from Sudhakar Chandrasekaran (aka Thaths) . This was
my first book on Linux.
I still
cherish and use that book,
20 years after I got the gift (Thank you "Thaths").
Endless striving
The book led me to this
conversation about the never-ending adventure (117M , mp4 file), which led me finally to this.
The discovery and learning still go on, everyday.
And, this is where I am now, and I have still a lot to go.
