This post is all about
irony of situations and how it could be if we explain the same shit we have
gone through..!!!
If my memory serves
well and if there is no side effects such as amnesia, this incident happened in
my third year second semester of my graduation. I strongly feel that no parent
will object if we involve or say some reason related to our studies, and some
catchy statements like ‘It helps me build
my career’ while doing every nasty shit possible during our graduation.
We three Vivek, Likhith
and Myself also found a solid reason to escape from routine classes which is a
technical festival in NIT-Trichy in Feb-2012 which is a complete technical
festival (which we got to know later). Like every techie guy we couldn’t
forgive the google results for Latest
technical papers for ece and paper presentation topics for ece in our college wlan which is far more slower
than a tortoise!! Atlast we selected two
papers for us and have mailed to them with the minimal hopes of response from
them. We never miss..!! alas..!!! no response from them which shows our
technical knowledge and perception is no match for a NIT. So we don’t want to
miss this tour in any matter and started searching in the website for the
events where we are eligible to enter into with our grey matters.
Workshops..!!!! where money matters and we got an entry pass for that. We calculated
the time span, sorted the titles which are somehow related to our branch ‘ECE’
at least by the naming convention and choose a workshop named ‘IC Engines’
rather ‘Robotics’ as the later one is 3 days scheduled and we don’t want to
waste any time sitting there and listening to robotic crap.
We also choose two more
workshops ‘Light painting’ and stock exchange which are no way related to our
graduation stream. We got three entry passes for three days after paying entry
fees , alas.!! Everything is going great. Err!!! Not great atleast no probs
till now.
After a week or so, we
met our Physical Director at some sports meet around 11 p.m in the night and we
were watching the game. We have four more days to go before packing up the bags.
We were just having a
little chat I don exactly remember what
we discussed with him and from nowhere this Vivek mentioned about our
little trip to Trichy and he is confusing him with all the technical names. So
he decided to show our PD a little insight on technology and what exactly we
were doing over there.
‘We
were going to this workshop IC engines.’
Oh..
That is good. So what is this workshop about?
So
you know the engines right? The one they use in automobiles and at different
mechanical devices?
Yes.
They were soo huge and bulky. It will occupy most of the space in the machine.
“Oh.
Yes.. “
So
the future technology is working on to make these things simple and small, if
possible at nano level.
“Oh.
Really. Then that will help.”
So,
sir, we have coarse called integrated circuits, in there all the code is imbibed
in the circuit and it will make the things work with the help of very less
voltage sources.
For
example, mobile is there right?? All the mechanism is imbibed into a single
circuit and it is capable of doing all these possible things of touch, gps,
wifi, application support. We have the same circuits in computers too. So
basically these integrated circuits will make things easier and simple which
needs very less space.
And
in the workshop they are going to teach us on how we can use the circuit to
build an engine. It is still an emerging technology. But if this works out, it
will help us to create miracles in terms of electronic.
After
listening to all these things vivek told him, our PD was literally shocked and
astonished even at 1 A.M in the morning.
He seems quite
attracted to what vivek said and looked interesting to about this more even
though he has the worse memory. He
coudnt even remember what breakfast he took that morning.
In the end, likith and
myself are very happy that the permissions and all the things will be easier to
us even though we were near to detention.
Well, 2 days prior to
the train I thought of you know researching on the topic a little bit so that
it helps us during workshop and I typed IC Engines in google and expected a
nano chip shows up which is then integrated into a car, showing the best result
of technology, but oddly I found the image of engine. So I went on reading that
article and it went on explaining how the engine works. I waited patiently to
see the words such as Integrated Circiut, Digital technology, Resistor,
Capacitor.....!!! but nothing..!!!
After a little doubt I
opened another article and it said same things too.
My sense of doubts got
worse and I searched with keyword ‘full form of IC engines’...
“Internal combustion
Engines”. Boom..!!!! I was blank for few minutes and trying to confirm the
facts and its true that the full form is accurate.
This IC Engines is no
way related to ECE, which is like Sunny wearing a traditional saree. Not even
at the single point it is converging. Devastated. Disappointed. Fell to shatters.
Whatever we are trying
to achieve from past two weeks, it is no way related to us. Meanwhile Viveks
conversion with PD popped up in my mind. I went into a mental laugh and then
ROFL. Whatever we blabbered about is utter and complete non-sense. The best
part is everyone convinced to it after listening Viveks version of crap. Even
our HOD is fooled and believed everything. Ya,
we had a session with HOD too regarding this.
It all felt like we are
producing a dinosaur from a unicorn egg. And everyone believed that unicorns
exist and we can also produce dinosaur from its egg.
Lucky us and them!! No
one asked us after coming from the fest. Thank god. Saved another crappy thesis
