The other day, I was sitting in the computer lab during a practicals session..The professor was teaching us a software, and we were exploring the software on our terminals. A doubt crept up my mind and I tried to think of a solution. But i had to give up after some time. I raised my hand for assistance.

The professor briskly walked from the other end of the lab to the place where I was sitting. He pulled up an unoccupied chair lying nearby and sat next to me. I had a feeling that he knew everything about the software. With great hopes that my doubts will be cleared, I started explaining him my problem. He listened intently. After I finished, I asked him what should be done.

He came closer to the computer, leaned forward, took possession of the mouse. The pointer went straight to the HELP menu on top. He clicked it and said that all doubts will have answers here. He further added that F1 might be an easier option. Saying this, he walked away, leaving me blank. Only then did I realize that F1 can be a better guide than the professor…
