So, the title might seem a little funny but the story behind the title is really funny and worth reading. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

So, one wonderful day i’m getting free from my college and going back home, i’m waiting for the bus and it’s snowing heavily. I receive a call from one of my cousins who lives in New York. He’s a distant relative and i’ve talked to him for a couple of times only. The reason why he called was that he wants to get a common relatives cell phone number from me, whose number he either lost or misplaced or god knows what! So, we are talking and talking (and trust me, this magical call ends up in a one and a half  hour long call). So, as we are chatting over the phone, we are trying to gather as much as possible information about each other, Say, what are we studying, what kind of jobs we go to, hows the lifestyles different here in Toronto and New York.

As soon as he comes to know that i’m pursuing Computers in Toronto. The immediate reaction is can you fix my computer? He’s betting on me that i cannot because it’s broken for the past two months. So, i reply him back with what problem are you having with your computer. He tries to explain me the problem and i gathered an idea that he’s having boot up issues and most probably his Windows Installation is broken or corrupted. I shoot him back with a couple of questions, trying to figure out any error messages being displayed on the screen. He’s trying to co-operate with me by explaining some of the things that are going on on the screen. He goes back to his computer and turns it on to see if he can dictate any errors to me over the phone. As soon as the boot process is interrupted, he dictates the error to me, which is something like this:

A Windows installation already exists on this computer…(my memory fades, cannot recall what exactly he said )

Now, to a seasoned tech support guy, this error translates to the fact that a Windows Installation is in progress. And if, it is in progress, there obviously needs to be a CD in CD tray that is taking over the Boot Process. So, i ask him to check and see if there is any CD labeled “Windows XP” in the CD Tray. He opens the CD tray and finds one right there. He’s startled and amazed! The very same moment i’m receiving blasts of questions from him like if i know Black Magic or anything of that sort. Because, to him only a Psychic would know if he’s got a CD in his CD Tray . I laughed and asked him to pop the CD out and re-boot the computer. He does as directed and is back with his Windows Machine, which was dormant since the last two months just because  it had a Windows CD in the CD tray – Consider the fact that he was going to wipe his Hard Disk and loose all his music collection and other important data.

Now, i receive his calls almost every week and fix his things over the phone and I’m called a Tech Psychic (The Downside ) The Bright side: Saving some one his much loved Music Collection and Other files, that’s
