Nothing is Impossible

This is an old story belonging to the days when i used to spend this time (the time before shaastra) in the 3rd wing of Narmada. I am not too sure junta would like me disclosing all this but I feel it worth blogging....


The Hi-funda coords call me to their room and ask me if i know about HACKS.....and there begins the story...

(it is TNR to define hacks)


we are supposed to make a LED display board that says a line mocking the standard text. this board is 5 feetX1.5feet in dimensions. We get n number of veroboards and solder them for days together...and finally, this is done.

Time: 6am
GD and i have just put a night out in the coord's room...and we set out to mess to estimate the height of the original board. the security wonders what on earth are two half sleepy ppl doing at this time staring at a blank board? maybe he thinks we are drunk...same is the case with a few joggers...

Time:9pm
GD and i now know the height and set out to find a ladder to aid us..we travel around the insti and arrive at a spot...near SAC where we see a 4 meter high stool..cool. Identified.

Time 2am:
Guessing that junta are asleep, our duo with some other TNR people go to lift that stool and get it from SAC to mess and hide it so that the security dont put pain.

Time 3.15am:
We go to the Coord's room sweaty and tired and happy that we have achieved something. we work on other stuff which includes building a sleeeek robot that is impossible to see when kept under a podium...keep wondering why we need it... and arguing about the best way of bursting a balloon.

time 5am:
We carry the board, batteries, wires etc to mess, tell the security that we are repairers and do the job of setting up. we take a trial and our faces have a big smile..now we wait for the night...in the meanwhile, i go to workshop and make a frustrum of thin metal sheets with base dia of 1m. keep guessing the arbitnesss......

the following evening we set up the batteries and the board reads : THINK OF US WHO CANT EAT IT.. .. with HACKS appearing interspersed. I am not too sure how many noticed it, but the newsletter did.

whenever a GA guy tells me that things cant be done, i feel like telling this (and many similar)to him..
