Zoom

Rohan fired up his computer. He was using Windows 2017. He had recently brought a new broadband connection from BSNL Pentaband. He clicked on a shortcut on his desktop, Firefox 5.0, the most popular browser in the world. His system had 100GB of ram, 100PB(petabyte) harddisk and Intel's latest Gigacore processor. He opened up Google's search engine. He typed the words:"Download KKShare" and immediately got a few trillion links. The file size was 1GB. With speeds of 10Tb/s, the download was over in milliseconds. He installed KKShare, and searched for the latest songs released by his favourite Rock band, Spankin Larks. All the big bad record companies had died down now. No one bought any CDs or cassettes. All the stuff was either bought online, and if you knew how to use the net, could be downloaded free by even a 5 year old. He got 10 million results for Spankin Larks. He selected the option, "Download unique results!" and immediately had all the albums of his favourite band on his disk, all 10TB of them! He shouted at his mom-"Mom, make me some maggi na, am really hungry!" Maggi was still popular in India. What with India becoming one of the richest countries in the world you would have expected him to have some imported noodles crap. But no, the whole world was eating maggi these days! He teleported himself to the kitchen and shouted at his mom. His mom shouted back-"Idiot, all you have to do is say which flavour you want before the maggi maker, you can't even do that, lazy bones! Ok ok, don't make a fuss, I'll make it!" Having got his maggi(the flavour was Lichi cum Chilli) he went back to surf on his computer. He decided to download a game. He installed NFSUnderworld 6 and started playing in his virtual world. In this world, if he died, it was as if he would die in the real world. If you died in this world, you really die. He got his favourite Lamborgini and was going at 420 L/s(420 times the speed of light) when suddenly he hit a cow and crashed(there were still cows in India!) He blacked out totally. Next thing he knew he was on the bed shouting for more. Suddenly his mom and dad came running into his room. They were terrified. He asked them what year it was. His mom exclaimed-"Oh no, not again!"
