I strongly believe in using the given resource by God, which is our brain.
That is why I kept my company name also Brain.
I'm not very intelligent, but I want to use my brain.
My childhood was mostly, you know, spent with my three brothers.
One is my elder brother and my younger brother is Basit Alvi, who was the co-author of this code or so-called virus code.
When I was schooling, my father started our membership for the British Council Library.
And I used to bunk my school and used to come to the library and read all electronics and computer books there.
So I found one article that was about how to run two programs together while one is running in the front and one is running in the background.
Somehow my mind struck that this can surprise people.
So I thought why not to write something for a break if somebody is working on the computer for long.
So just to entertain that person, a background program can pop up and start telling some story or reading a book.
Then we started working on hiding it so that nobody can see it.
We developed this code and we left it.
We became bored of it.
We got an order from our friend who was a doctor.
