A Saga Called BAJA SAE INDIA 2010...we the MOTOHOLICS(our team name)!!!

Remembering  the time which makes me drowned into memories sometime.....

A team of 19 lads lead by a smart n silent captain Jai C Shah(JAI da), were on a quest to build an ATV(all terrain vehicle) most f u may kno it by name of “Dune Buggy”, all for the sake of asia level competiton BAJA SAE 2010(for whom these 2 words r greek n latin.. i’ll explain it later). Work started in a proper manner to gv a crafting shape to our car. Design, ergonomics, fabrication had to be done to meet out the minimum requisite to take part into the competition. Things went on  n we had mere one month left out to finish off with more than 70% of the job still left. Let me first introduce u all to our team.

Well our car churned out after stupendous  intelligenc f our final yrs dedication n hard work by all of us. Spending slpless nyts in the Mechanical Engg. Wrkshp had bcame a chore for many of our bhai logs. After gruelling 1 month in wrkshp ,finally the last nyt in our wrkshp arrivd. All final yrs wanted to finish it off in a different way(being their last yr in clg). At around 7 in the eve Partho sir cam wid a fizzing idea n eventually idea burstd out ”oye!!! Mote(GSD) beer ho jaye aaj raat...”.. many dull eyes sparkled instantaneously hearing this thought. .....”abbeyy sahi bola..” all said in unison(non drinkers also included!!!).. GSD in his same bangladeshi styl  responded”abi kaam krne de ... raat ko dekhte h”.... mann me to GSD k b laddoo phoot rhe theyy :P.  Finally around 9:30 GSD texted to d whole team inquiring abt the brand of beer n asking for money(collecting all rokda was his expertise!!... FM in disguise:P).. at around 11:30 bag full of alcohol arrived into the wrkshp. All work came to stand still for some tym...as many rules unwantedly imposed by college authorities were about to b broken(smoking n drinking in college premises is not allowed,, the most funniest was “Girls r not allowed into boyz hostel without a valid NITW ID card” ;P)...finally around 11:30 pm showtime arrived... first of all each one lyk crazy fox grabbed his bottle f beer. Then Aabhas sir was d first to open up the pop. N without waiting for  a moment all bottles were topless.. :P.. had a huge shout f Cheers .. cheers seemed more loud n clear as it was lyk accomplishment f some feat... GAADI bannne wali thi.... BUDWEISER was showing its effect as DHAYVAT sir n ARPIT started eating up ours... AABAHS sir was too at his best he took  a small iron rod n said”bada bhaari h.... lagta h maaruti ka h!!!” ..... all bursted into laughter n face of Arpit(reason cant b mentioned here) was to be noticed at that tym... things went on ... all BAKAR was at its highest... 1 hr later all resumed back to work...

The Ode to Endless Ladder!!!

The ladder never ends. As you climb up rungs and live under the illusion or fallacy that you’ve secured one more victory in life, you look skywards and realize the ladder just got longer, the end somewhere out of sight, beyond the clouds…

All your life you can keep climbing the ladder in the quest to reach the top and never get there! This can be perceived in two ways – the optimist’s dream and the pessimist’s nightmare. The optimist sees this as ambition – a way to push oneself towards achieving more and more. The pessimist knows that this means being insatiable – never satisfied with what one has in life.

While on the way up, a hand may be extended at you for help. Grab it and help, because one good turn deserves another. Once you are higher, you might need a helping hand yourself. It is also true that at every rung scaled, a mad multitude of hands will crop out of nowhere to rip, drag & pummel you down. For just as one person’s manna is another person’s poison, likewise the success of one indeed poisons the minds of many. While many take joy in the success of one, there are others who do not think of how to replicate such success for themselves but plot how to displace the one who’s higher up somewhere on the ladder. Terminally, the seeds of misery are sown & the chalice of woe tipped over. No one emerges a winner. But in the Almighty’s courtyard, there will be justice for all. For one cannot wage a war against one’s destiny, and what is fated to happen shall play itself out.

Is it the need to survive that drives many to entrench self & others in miseries of their own making? A lesson needs to be learnt - Survival is not the sole mantra. Surviving peacefully, with contentment & without malice towards others is! And this will give you what no amount of wealth or fame can provide – adoration & respect of loved ones and the greatest treasure of them all – Happiness.

Therefore, live the optimist’s dream. Keep climbing, irrespective of the hands clawing at you. And while you’re at it, have tones of fun :)
