There was a time when computer buffs and professionals were a rarity. A handful IT professionals were working in their cool corporate offices and were as inaccessible as the Gods. That was the time when I first learned what a web page was all about and how it can work for you 365/24. I am sure if I had gone to a corporation with such an advertisement proposal 15 years ago they would have personally laughed me out of the building. Perhaps out of the city.

With more ease and less maintenance, web pages were a dream come true to put across my crazy ideas to the world. More over it, was cheap and the reach was extraordinary. With my introduction to the subject and the technicalities of a web space and servers was when I also realized that to get a web space which I would have put purchase from a US or Canadian company, I would have to pay US$ 20 - 30. That was when my random thoughts of communicating through a web page came to a full stop.

Crazy was the word those days, when people were seemingly minting money with the new dot com bubble that seemed to be blown out of proportion. Ordinary newspaper reporters without any flair or style started being paid in phenomenal quantities. Those who used to have tea and snacks in small teashop just moved up to five star hotels!!

This was the time when I also got a few offers to join Portal's editorial team. But my schedule and lifestyle was somewhat conservative and for me to take this giant step toward being an online architect was almost too far!!

That was the time when my surfing and chatting over the net was touching an all time peak. I used to chat and meet people who would boast about their web pages and would give me ideas how to have one free. But the free web page providers were not too appealing, especially with their name attached to every web page names (example www.xyz.yourname.com or geocities or yahoo etc). I did try these but was not willing to advertise the free web page providers name with my own!! Yes it was kind of professional conflict of interests!!

I finally heard of a web page where you could link your www.xyz.yourname.com web page on another service provider where you get exclusive domain name!! Yes, it was unbelievable and a dream come true to have my own name as a domain name!! I felt great and immediately registered www.sathishchandra.com and was as happy as a lady who just got a diamond necklace as a birthday gift!!

But even this was short lived and the ideas given to me for linking never worked. The long wait gave way to the desire of having my own name as a domain. But it opened up many avenues and many by-lines in major newspapers and I still remember a front page Economic Times article where my adventures with online dating were published!!

Now after understanding the true essence of a web page and what it can do it is a part and parcel of my daily life. The desire to have my own web page is not yet dead - now the latest fad of my life is to create and upload my own web page. Yes, it is really amazing when you realize the potential a good web designer has in the current IT driven industry. So I shall be selling my services after I show them what I can do on...yes you guessed it right, the one of its kind web page www.sathishchandra.com. But don't bother logging on - its still a paper tiger!
