My Dear varun899

This is amazing, superb and fantabulous. I never something like this to happen. I had completely given up on even decided to spend rest of my life with those long lost memories. Before you jump on any conclusions, let me clarify I am talking about my yahoo id.

I first started using the Internet during the summer of 1998 - when I had the longest vacation of my life - almost 6 months. I remember I used to go to a computer class to learn computer basics(I really want to laugh at myself even thinking about it). The instructor at the class - who was also a distant relative - taught me including others about the Yahoo Messenger. Soon after that and I am not sure exactly when - I created this particular id of mine - which I am pretty much sure - was my first yahoo messenger Id. I used it for a long time - 1998 to 2006 - that's a long time - isn't it? So sometime after I came to US in 2006, it was one such evening. There was some issue with yahoo messenger servers and as a result I couldn't log on to my yahoo messenger account and out of frustrations I ended up requesting a new password and in the whole process - my original password was no longer valid. I didn't remember answers to my security questions and I didn't know which email id I had specified as the alternate email id. So, I kept trying but I could never recover my password and my account had gone in hibernation forever. Sometimes, I used to think somebody must have hacked my account as a prank and will soon return me my new password. But that never happened. I even used to rally after Poonam - accusing her of stealing my id so that I don't stay online long. lol... how silly !! But yeah, that was me.

After that, every once in a while - I would try and recover my password - with no success of course!! I would say in the past 3 years - I must have tried at least 10-15 times resetting my password through the various yahoo mechanisms and I never succeeded.

Somehow, out of nowhere today was one more such attempt. While sipping coffee in the afternoon, I decided to give my luck one more chance. And surprise, suprise - yahoo has improved their password recovery system and now they provide you hints about your secondary email address where they can send you the link to reset the password. And finally I was able to recover my dear password for my dearest online account - my first yahoo id !!! What a Joy!! I had so many friends in the list I never was able to interact with again because I had no other contact with them. But now I do and I hope to revive contacts with at least some of them. Just imagine, this id was part of my life for a good old 7-8 years. My joy is beyond any limits today. Its feels so nice to have you back in life after 3 long years, my dear varun899 !!!
