I still remember the day I created my Gmail account. It felt like a small milestone. Back then, email was something you signed up for with a bit of excitement. I mainly used it to exchange notes with friends, share college updates, and coordinate group work. In India, Hotmail was the big name at the time, and having an email ID felt new and slightly special. Fast forward to today, and Gmail has quietly woven itself into everyday life.
