early days

The earliest technology I remember is being 8 years old and carrying the reel-to-reel tapes up the hill to Chenrezig Institute, while my mother Inta lugged the actual tape machine by hand. We began walking from Eudlo station after sleeping overnight on the floor, much to the chagrin of the stationmaster. Our sleep punctuated by the deep continuous rattle and yaw of freight trains trundling past every couple of hours. An earth-shuddering mind-shaking event that I loved.
