what if???

a general thought that comes into one's mind when one encounter's a failure in life.People never think about these avenues when they meet with success.So in my inaugural blog i will try and depict to you what happened and what "could" or rather "should" have happened.

2 months before my first year would have ended

wiring teacher :"faff faff".."everybody come to table" "faff faff"
(if u are wondering what "faff faff" means, this dolt had his upper row of teeth way beyond his lower row..hope u get it)
me:wokay sir (sweating over a blood tubelight that refused to glow)
wiring teacher :"all of you will have.. faaafaff....to submit your wiring project by X date"
me :electrocuted look
everyone else :"saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr"a
wiring teacher :(deaf bastard look) "you can go to oppanakara street and buy project ,weld and show fafff me "
Bell rings
me : "balls to you sir" (in my mind [:D])

scene 1 ends.

scene 2 begins.

My batchmate in this lab was Zothiamsanga a guy from mizoram.He was clueless about what was happening around him.And i was bloody pissed off because i screwed up in the physics lab that day.
so feeling too lazy and lacking inspiration , myself and zothiam went to some street near oppanakara street and got ourselves Y after paying 30 bucks.me:-"What a gr8 project kit we have got ourselves"

I said to zothiam :"dude ,the project is good, but i have no idea how on earth this works ".i was born allergic to transisitors and diodes.

zothiam (calm look) :-"don't worry man ,i have a senior who is the eee department , will ask him and get how it works and write the report too".

me :"wow.thats great dude.we'll show it to sir tomorrow ok"

scene 2 ends.

scene 3.

Early morning .

me: " dude how is it going??"

zothiam : " great da. i took my seniors help .Have drawn the ciruit's and a 2 page project report"

me : "cool man.Lets get this thing finished up soon"

fafff fafff is on his chair ,eating tiger biscuit which disappear into his drawer as soon as we appear.


me: " sir we have got our project sir.shall i demonstrate it to you??"

wiring teacher : (mouth half full of tiger piskits) :"so ffast paa?...ok show it to me"

me unfolds Y and shows it to him.all of a sudden i notice a bewildered look on faff's face which resembles" have these guys come to decorate my room or what??"

wiring teacher : "which light glows paa?"

me : "sir all lights sir"

wirin teacher :"huh"..explain man"

me :"siir based on circuit first green light glows sir then blue then red sir then everything together sir"

wiring teacher: " faff fafff..explain circuit man @ zothiam"

zothiam :" sir a ..aa.. aa"

me : "sir he does not know tamil sir."

wiring teacher :"you expain"

me :"sir thats wat sir current flows through green light , green light glows sir and similarly for the other colours"

wiring teacher: (bewildered look) :in a stroke of un imaginative brilliance "faff faaff what happens when all lights glows paa"??

me: "sir current flows through all the circuits sir"

wiring teacher :"enna pa how much did u spend for this project"

me (grining ear to ear):"sir 30 rs"

wiring teacher : goes ballistic " faff faff.what is this i asked you to do project for 100 rs .why cant you spend 70 rs more"

me :"sir sir sir"

wiring teacher :"no faff no faff..take this CHRISTMAS LIGHT. go and buy another project and re do it"

me and zothiam dejected look "ok sir" ( aah 30 rs + 8 bucks for bus + wasted 8 hrs of zothiam and his seniors + laziness in innovation = failure)


well i hope u noticed that our project failed to get accepted because we spent only 30 rs on it and not because of not knowing how it worked.
a person who eats tiger biscuit,in front of the fan all the time , has 2 bloody arrears in his repertoire and is a professor teaching us.MAN we are de-engineering ourselves with these dolts


now for what i could or should have done is prepared a electrocution project + lie detector and this is what would have happened


me : " sir project is ready sir"
wiriing teacher :" fafff show me paa"
me: "ok sir" ( devils horns) .sir to demonstrate my project u have to help sir "
wiring teacher :" ok pa"
me :" sir my project is a lie detector .i'll ask u a question sir touch this metal plate and answer sir"
me : " sir question ..are u an engineer??"
wiriing teacher "faff..what a question paa..yes i am "
"zzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppp"
wiring teacher : "fafff faff fafff wat pa faaaffff fafffff aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
after one final "faff" he is unconcious for hours at end and recovers to find himself in a creche'

nurse : "chamathu thambi ..indha paal kudi apro indha jilk jilk plate odu vilaydu" (assuming that i am getting international traffic to my blog , the sentence means " good boy..here drink your milk and play with this shiny plate"

wiring baby :"faff"


Alls well that ends well!! (psst:- heartfelt thanks to my friend srinath for providing the backbone of the story)
