My Life: A turning point...

Sometimes, our way will be very different from the expected. Here, I am just sharing how I became inetersted in Electronics from a flare of nothing. I recognized my way when I was 13 – from a low cost book from a footpath. The book included fundamentals of electronics as well as some simple example projects. I really attracted by one project-a musical bell using a single IC UM66 and a single stage amplifier. Major attraction was it's low cost. Next morning, I went to purchase all components. I saw transistors and other components for the first time. I started assembling my first project. I had not even soldering iron or bread board to assemble. I just connected all components with some waste copper wires with bare hand. Practically the process was extremely complex for my age I think. If one wire is joined together, the other will be disconnected. A small change in the positioning was capable for the system does not work. After completing my work I verified all connections. The circuit was not much pretty – a heap of wires only. I had no any great expectations because I knew that connections were not proper. Took a silent pray and connected to a cell directly without a switch.
............The result was amazing!! . It did work. Hearing a strange music all in our home came in to my room with a pleasant smile. Even though the circuit was a simple one, that incident was a milestone in my life. If that circuit hadn’t work, the destiny may be rewritten.
