My 49th post.... :)
I was actually planning to publish the 50th one on my birthday.... but unfortunately had nothing to blahblah about...lol...
But Now Its the Time To Quip About My Visit To HAL.. A Sneak-peek Into Bangalore and Mysore....
It Is Still One Of My Lovable Memories.... :)
And A Long-Time-Dream-Come-Alive-Day....
16.09.2010
It was still one of the most difficult days of my life.... :D
The Start of Day Beckoned The Work We Guys Had... We Had To Our Department And complete the Official Paper work... Go To Vice-Chancellor's Office For Every Two Seconds To Check If The Papers Had Been signed... Cuz If It Is Not Approved Then I Could Kiss My Representative Job A Good Bye! :D The Guys In My Class Would Hopefully Kill Me Alive... It Was The Second Time We Guys Were Planning.... And I Was At My Wits-End To Get The Job Done!
We Hadn't had food... No Water Too.... Our Departure Had Got Approval From Vice-Chancellor At 01:00pm... We Were Supposed To Start By 08:00pm...
And There Were Just Seven Hours...
The Work Load Was Surmountable.... :D We (me, Sridhar And Vignesh) Had Wasted three hours in tallying The Money We Had Collected.... We Were Stupid.... :P
Sometimes 100 rupees was missing....
Sometimes 500 rupees ....
And Finally 10,000 was Missing...
I'm still wondering if i could give this incident as the worst nightmares of my life... probably the kind of stuff which coulkd give me heart attack or whatever....
I had lost hope... I hadn't had lunch the whole week... I had lost sleep... And Had Soo Much coordinating work done over fone... that i thought i Had Been done with...
Thats when Vignesh found the 10,000 :D (U r A Life-Saviour dude :))
Time was 04:30p.m....
We Hadn't Even Packed Up Things....
We felt like Those Scape Goats Who Could Be Executed Anytime Their Heads Bent Down...
Especially Me!!!!!!! :D
We Looked At Each Other Grabbed Our Bags And Laptops And Ran Off To CAD laboratory...
Only To Find Our Professor Planning To Give Us More Jobs!!!!
We Were Asked To Buy Notepads for everyones and a few more bla bla jobs....
But The Worst part was....
Parents Had To Give A No-Objection Call...
In Just 3 hours
At That Point Of Time I Was debating if fainting down or running away was a better option....
Neither seemed possible, Unfortuantely....
We Just Nodded .... :D
Thats The Only Thing That Was Allowed....
They Had Started Back Home....
I Was Walking To hostel..... Alone.....
08:00 pm
To Add To My Miseries, It started raining heavily.....
Let me Be Very Frank Over here... To Sit In A Bus Of 59 guys+2 staffs, fully drenched and going to cold destination didn't really seem to be one of the best options for industrial visits....
Infact, It Was The Worst.... :(
As I Said Before Life Had Never Given Me Many Options... Its Always The Centre Ring In The Dart-Board....
So Around 10:00 pm (due to rain, starting was delayed) I was Wearing the black jerkin that my dad gave me ages ago ( Parents save us a lot,trust me) And Carrying the damn bag which I Had Packed In An Inhumanly incredible short Time :D I reached the college.... (Since I Was The Only Girl... It Seemed pointless To Start from girls hostel... Much To The Dissapointment of My Class guys :D)
I Had To Wait For 45 minutes.... In The dark.... I Had Been A Strong Girl... I Told My Class Guys Not To Come... But I Was Very Afraid.... It Was One Of The Times Of The Life When I Felt The Meaning Of Fear.....
My Phone Went Off For A Call...
It Was My Head-Of-Department ....
There Seemed One More Person Who Was Scared.... :D
He Told Me To Take Care... Take Care And Take More Care....
Talk About The Times When Food Is Not Available and People consider care :D
I Couldn't Tell Him That, Obviously, I'd Be Sacked.... :D
I Just Said That I Would.... And He Need not Worry About Me.... :)
I Was Thinking I've Convinced Everyone That Its Going To Be Ok....
I Had To convince Myself... :D
At This Point Of Time... My Bus Came......
They Had Gone Over To Boys Hostel... Where The Celebrations had begun.....
Automobile na summa va :P
Astoundingly remarkable sound of crackers booming the sky... Announcing our departure from campus.... :)
And After that I Finally Boarded the bus at 11:00 pm....
It Was As If I'm Meeting The Guys For The First Time.... Nobody was sitting in their places... They were all busy whistling hugging each other dancing playing....
Smiles was written on everyones lips.....
A Smile And Glint of Happiness Seemed to be worth all the pain I took...
Vignesh, Sridhar And One Of My staffs.... Later Boarded The bus...
And We Set Off To The Industrial Visit.....
17.09.2010
I have No Idea When 12:00 pm came in.... And 16 changed to 17....
Amidst All The Dance shout And all those dappangkuthu songs :P Some how I Fell Asleep For A Few Hours..... Around some 02:30....
And At 06:00 when I Opened My eyes.... We Were In Hosur.....
And Thats My Cousins place btw :D
We Had stopped Somewhere To Pay The State To State Tax...
and We Were Planning To Have Our Morning Tea....
When I Got Down The Bus The Place Was Spectacular.....
I Hadn't Experienced chill weather since many days... The Weather was So chill that it made my cheeks cold... ^-^
I Just strolled down and went to a road-side tea shop... :)
There was a cutie-pie pink rabbit.... :)
I dint feel like drinking tea....
I Just Left My grumbling Stomach.... And When I went over, I Had More Work Of Making Plans For The day ahead....
We Had A lil bit difficulty finding our accomodation.... But finally we did find that out!!!
It was actually quite cozy for the day... and yeah too suited for our budget.... And Too Much For The Money We Paid :D
It Was Luxurious :)
We Got ready... And Started Off To Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Bangalore...
All Guys Were In Strict Formals.... They Looked Good....
But, Everyone Slept peacefully In The 2 hours Journey.... lol...
We Had Reached....
It was something which I had always dreamed of... heat shields, Missiles Fighter aircrafts... :)
We first went over to the heritage and aerospace centre....
The snap is the entrance snap.... That moment when I Caught My Breath.... There Was An Urging feeling inside to fly high...
Without wasting Much Time... We Headed Directly To The Audio-Visual Area...
15 minutes..... The Longest 15 minutes of my life probably!!!!
It Was A Beautiful feeling to sit over there And Watch how the massive system developed.... I Have Never seen such a spectacular presentation in my life...
I Had Been Through All Stages....
I Had Gazed At Flying Airplanes as A Kid...
I Had stuck my nose out of the window, when I crossed airports....
I Had played A Zillion Times With Those Flight Toys....
I Had Even Flown High In The Sky.... A Few Times...
But Still It Was An Unmatched Experience To Lean Back And watch the majestic fighter aircrafts And Missiles Soar From One End Of The Screen To The Other End.....
I Felt I Had Gone To Trance And Returned Back... And Once The Presentation Was Over... My Heart Skipped A Beat..... :)
If Had Studied Better, I Would've Been A Part Of It....
This Was The Only Thing That Was Running In My Mind..... :(
I Came Out And Knew About How Exactly A Flight System Works.... And How Pilots Know What Routes To Take..... How Control Systems Work... How Radar Works... How Planes Can Be Controlled From Ground Stations...... :) :)
Poignancy And Nostalgia Was Everywhere Around Me.....
I Felt Like Crying..... I never wanted anything so badly in my life as aeronautical... Everyone who knew me knew that...... :(
Vivek and Victor were the two guys who kept talking to me.... so That I Would Be Distracted...
Nothing Could Distract me...
To Be frank I Was More Over-powered By The Feeling Of Awesomeness Rather than My Being Auto And Not In Aero....
There Were A Lot Of Flights... Missiles And Piston Engine.... And Stuffs Assembled....
People Were standing And Taking Snaps....
I Was Snapped Off From The World...
We Went To The Control Tower... I Witnessed The Landing And Taking Off Of A Flight From A Place Where Runaway Was Obviously Seen.....
And I Saw A Helicopter Stationary At A Height And Rotating Continuously.... For Vigilance Sake I Guess....
And We Just Strolled Around The PSLV-Heat Shield..... :)
It Was Time For Us To Depart..............................................................
With That The IV's Major Part Was Over.... :)
And It Was Time For The Automobile Engineer In Me To Come To Life....
Luck Was Never A Part Of My World.... I Was Born On 13th friday... Many people Considered Me unlucky :(
But That Day I Had Been Extremely lucky.... :)
We Went Over To Vishweshvaraya Technical Museum.... One Of The Places What I Would Call Awesomeness Redefined...
And That Day There Was An Expo On Engines....
And That Day There Was An Expo On Engines....
It Was Time For ME to Get Into Action....
I Was Busily Moving from aelopile to oil engines to CI engines To SI engines....
There Was A Button System Operations For Various Mechanisms I was Busy Pressing And Videoing The Whole Thing.....
Then We Went Over For a 3-D Movie.... A Penguin's Love Story In There... Which Was A Nice Refreshment.... :)
Came Out And Found After Many Days My Mum's Favourite Cream roll And Was Eating It... I Miss You Mum... I Don't Tell That... Cuz Im Strong I cant fall For Feelings....
After Which The Eleveners [a part of em... Thats The Name Of A Gang Of Dayscholars Of My college... My Closest buddies :) ]And Me... Walked in What You Call A Typical Bangalorean I Mean Bengalurian :P weather..... A drizzling Rain....
My Pains Had Washed Away....
I Was Satisfied With Engineering On The Whole... :)
I Went Over To Have A Short Nap....
Then Went On With My Class Guys To Have Dinner....
At 09:00 pm....
We Were Just Roaming Around Streets Till some 11:00 :D
Then I Retired....
In What You Call Sleep Of Peace....
Btw Dont Misunderstand... I'm Still Alive... :D
