What is in the phrase "Hello World"

It was summer of 2001, I was sitting before my brand new Pentium machine, desperately trying to figure out something. Trust me it was not at all fun. Without any doubt that was the most challenging one hour of my life.

But finally after some hundred useless hits at ctrl+F9, the ugly blue screen was gone and I could see the String "Hello World" blinking bright against the black DOS background.
Yup.. u guessed it right.. It was my first computer program.Oh God !!How delighted I was looking at "Hello World".So much was my pleasure that I didn't even care that I was sitting before a stand alone computer saying Hello World to myself!!

That time out of some 100 billion English phrases I chose "Hello World" because

1. Mr Robert Lafore asked me to do so.
2. My intelligent friends typed the same string a day before and my pride would have been deeply hurt if I could not have done the same.

Today 6 years later when I am writing this post I am again choosing this hackneyed string to launch my blog.May be no body will read it, but I can smell the aroma of the same old happiness. This time there are no complex reasons for picking up "Hello World"
This time I just wanted to say
"Hello World"
