aaaaaaaaarrrg FITTING !!!!

Was just playing this castle builder game…nice (thanx bru)
And thanx also for the sudoku game..this sudoku mania is gripping our class ,everybodys doing it…even during classes, even this girl called G1..who is a very gud friend of mine which is why I wont call her RV’s leading nerdette.

N’ways lets think about fitting……fitting as in workshop fitting…don’t get ideas ok.

U have to cut several centimeters into metal….and with what result…a backache, hand-ache, and other aches as well…I’m sure “fitting” wont be recommended by any good orthopedic surgeon around…..

Ok, ignore the physical strain..in the end what have we as diligent, brilliant ,youthful…future engineers achieved ???we have filed/cut/chiseled/hammered… two pieces of metal that “fit” into each other…its perfect if it looks like a single metal piece…wow ...now that’s what I call useful…its like making tea from milk and then mixing tea from two cups and trying to get the milk back….if u see what I mean, …why cant we use one of those complicated machine tools to do the job…correct me if im wrong.. but isn’t that why they are there??

Ok screw the system..i was at the workshop today doing the second piece…I was trying to do the cutting using the hacksaw blade…

Initial stage:11:45 am: I may be slow but I am ahead of Jessie….yaaay

15 min later: im cutting , cutting ,cutting using hacksaw..
jessies finished cutting , shes going to the attender…

attender says: very good , just file it now,uve done a neat job
he luks at me cutting and smirks


im thinking: ok, mr.shiny teeth, u cud do better and give me a hand.


15 min later : im still cutting
Jessie gets a new piece to start the 2nd model

5 min later : done at last…..oh no wait its not fitting into the first piece
some filing ought ta do the trick…
file, file , file and file
damn…still not fitting.
I give up.
no wait …remember HSN…he would say…how can u give up…imagine that there is bad guy holding you at gun point..
he will shoot u if u don’t finish your task…you’ll obviously do it wont you ??you should think your task is a life and death matter…

yada,yada,yada,yada…yada. ha,ha his stories were so funny..
some people took them seriously and went to IIT, others found them funny and went to RVCE…...(well, maybe not all…sum even went to Nagarjuna college..i am way better off)

Ok,I will finish the first model today no matter what it takes!!!
that should be the spirit
..I then begin filing with renewed vigour……..
but I still cant beat Mr.Galaxy..who is filing with such determination that he is also moving along with his file. Haha

Attender’s yelling :”handover the tools and go, continue in the next class”
Im thinking:” dude ,still over an hour left”

5 min later: STILL NOT FITTING!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAARRRRGG

OK, that’s it…Bang, bang, band I start hammering the pieces with the back of the file…

Seems to have caught shiny teeth attenders attention…
“Bite it together with your teeth”he yells.

Jessies looking and laughing.. “here ,I’ll file one piece” she says….
..quite a nice girl this Jessie what?

Together we file, and together the pieces finally fit….yaaaaaay…





I submit my piece ask shiny teeth for another metal block to start the next model…

Shinyteeth: ”do in the next class”

Me: ”still 1 hr to go”

Shinyteeth: ”I have to take rest”

Me: ”u take rest by sitting here(like you always do), I’ll start the next piece”

Shinyteeth is snubbed, not pleased

So he asks ”what does ur father do??”

I am thinking “what is your problem??, ok u win shinyteeth, ….
anyway fitting is not my favorite thing to do, il leave the stinking, fuming workshop”

And so I left…
and my hand is aching (.thanx to all the fitting)…I cant type anymore.

sometimes....

k, so theory 2nd internals are finally over...........can finally watch that much awaited HP4 movie.
so a whole bunch of us wet tottering off to the theatre,..all exited to watch it...hp fans and non hp fans united...the first movie we were watching together as "last 3 benchers , the row closer to the door, sec A"....this was a day wed all bin waitin 4,after all most of r friends had already watched it...
so we reach the theatre and get top row seats...what could be better......then we run to the shop with the guy selling "masala flavored corn " with salivating mouths...r desire is soon satisfied and we stand around and slowly chew the corn , so we wudnt be the last to finish as my friend
p1 exclaims:"this is great, u dont know how much ive bin waitin to do this"..

ok, so we r finally watching the movie
crap...a cell phone is ringing , its the guy in front of us...how annoying
me: "tch.."
bru(sittin beside me):"tch"

the guys got manners...he walks off

.....and my friend p2...u see she hasent read the book,so whenever a new charecter enters .....the discussion goes something like this:
me: ok so here comes cedric
p2: who is he??
bru, sitting beside me: cedric
p2:yeah..but who is he???

wow.....ok, thers more to do than just watching the movie....
it gets worse..moodys ugly, and i want a more fierce dragon, krums not a seeker...he cud be a wrestler!!!
hmmmm...i dont remember pepl stiking their tongue out in the book...
whatever...who cares...who expected better anyway.....its over....it was a pretty gud movie.....


gotta getback home now.....
we go to the bus stop and wait for the 201 bus....
and wait ........
and wait ........
and wait.....
not even a single bus..

i prod the person standin next to me"excuse me...the 201 comes this way ,right??
she says"yes,im waiting 4 the very same bus".
good, so its going to come..
so we wait and wait and wait......
no bus.
p2:lets take a rick
me: do we go via basvangudi or diary circle??
p3: by rick
me : i dont know, which route...u guys confident of the route??
p2,p3,p4: sigh

and we wait.....

hey its a bus....
in just 2 minutes it gets incredibly packed & crowded...almost the whole bus stop is in that bus...
im thinking the bus must be magically enhanced..like the weaselys tent,or not.. .the lady in there looks like shes choking...thank god im not in there...ha ha..i grin
p4:we cant go in there... its too full
p2:i told u that we shud take a rick...
me:fine, lets get a rick..

search frantically for ricks...15 minutes pass..
finally an empty rick guy agrees
the auto guy demands double meter charge......
me:huh...u mean 1.5 times
rick guy:no i mean 2 times, or u get off now
p2:fine, whatever, just get moving

we then pass dairy circle,
the rick breaks down....wow..im thinkin"theres no way we are paying him 2 times the fare..., but i wont tell him now..he may ask us to get off,or start arguing...its late enough already:

1hr later we reach home.
we've paid him almost 2 times the charge...
one auto rickshaw driver is happy, if nobody else in the world is...
i hate bangalore...sometimes,a lot of times..
