SAE BAJA 2012

Presenting a photographic journey of my BAJA 2012 adventure in brief (a proper post to follow on later!)

SAE BAJA, an all India competition with over 200 engineering colleges designing and fabricating

an ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE, fighting it out in the dusts of Pithampur, near Indore (M.P).

And introducing the all girls team of mechanical enginners (IInd and IIIrd year), Team IGIT YANTRIKI, with their car ANDROMEDA, the winners of the prestigious CHAIRMAN'S AWARD!! ^_^

Here's to the BAJA girls (yes, me included :p) of Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology, Delhi!

Team no: 37; ANDROMEDA in all its majesty

ANDROMEDA, roaring ahead! Kudos to Team Captain and Driver: Anupama Madiyan, who brought ANDROMEDA from 63rd to 28th position in just 7 laps during the Endurance Run!

Testing ANDROMEDA on bricks and stairs and stones and what not!

IGIT YANTRIKI at AUTO EXPO 2012, Delhi :D

And here's the special one! CM Sheila Dikshit visiting IGIT to inaugarate ANDROMEDA!! How cool is that!

...and the CM's best wishes, securely bolted to our car later ;)

The team on the day of the CM's visit

Loading the car to Indore for the final battle!

At the site. Oh by the way, Polaris, IOCL and Jindal Steels sponsored us ;) High class, huh? ;)

Pushing the car to the pit, driving not allowed on walking tracks

Neat and clean, during the first two days of the event...

...caked with dust, on the third day, the day of the Endurance Run!

Roaring Girls, after winning the Chairman's Award!!! :D :D

And who said girls couldn't do it?? :D

They do it better, and come out WINNERS :D

The More I Imagine The More I Know

I imagine touching the fabric of the universe

And I appreciate more the soil below my feet

I imagine hearing nature's mystic verse

And then I know the miracle of my own heart's beat

I imagine the vivid colours of a rainbow

And then I applaud a painter's show

I imagine my palms to be the source of snow

And then I know winter's stunning icy glow

I imagine myself in a good life ahead

With a lot of cash, a cottage, and a car

But then I know it won't come easy

And I prepare to work hard to go that far

I imagine being with the love of my life

And keeping all my friends very close

But when I wander alone most of the time

Then I know I've neglected more than I chose

When I imagine wrong being done to me

The more I know what compassion means

And then I imagine being in the shoes of others

Thus I understand how deeply they feel

And Einstein had once rightly said so

"Knowledge yes, but imagination is definitely the way to go"

And I agree, I don't know much physics though,

That the more I imagine, the more I know

Its A Virtual World!

First they said the world was flat.

Then they said the world was round.

Then they said it was a small world to be in.

And now I say, it's small enough to fit in a screen!

The following is a chat conversation between me and my bestestest friend forever, Mehr. She loves me dearly. Even from another country, she never fails to enquire after my well-being, albeit after solving the mystery about toilets... :p

I have taken the liberty to publish this conversation without her permission since she has exams from Monday, and was, thus, unavailable online. All the best, Mehr! 3:)

Google The Spy

Does Google see every damned thing you do? YES!!! :-/

Patent Wars

A joke I cracked

and laughed the entire gang

and then I commented, nonchalantly

"Just made that up, good na really?"

Then walked up my pal from behind

and smacked my twin-hind

"Hey!", I screamed

"You...", she seethed

and said:

"That punchline was mine

You stole it, you swine!"

Thus caught, ashamed and insulted

I watched TV at night

and realized to my surprise

it was neither hers, nor mine

the joke was actually Simpson's line!

Your grab, nor mine, hah! Take that!

Homer won the patent war, you cunning cat!

Dua Aur Baddua

Delhi...a magical city of quick fixes

A sweet cocktail of acidic mixes

Wide roads and patli galiyan

Studs and hunks and sexy phuljhadiyan

Skyscrapers beside rotten slums

Bhains ka doodh and beers and rums

Splashing away in boutiques and malls

Then bargaining at Janpath for tops and shawls

Sweet to your face, oh so polite

Turn your back, and we are deadlier than dynamite

In this city of riches and power, honey

Everyone can turn gobar into money

And once when I was asked, "Oh Miss!

Which is the best business to put in bucks?"

Without batting my eyelids and without a miss

I promptly opened my lips and replied thus:

Bhikhari ki dukaan is of course the best!

The most innovative, and a cut above the rest

A business of dua and baddua is all it takes,

with zero investment, to dig profit's lakes

And its cheap on the pockets of the customers too

Let me give you an example very true:

For the first ten bucks, Maai, tujhe sunder pati mile

For the second ten bucks, Bibiji, teri jodi bani rahe

For the third ten bucks and clutching your feet

Teri godh mein ho chand sa lalla, saasu gaye tere geet

And when you fail to pay up, they kick your shins

And curse your thirty-bucks-relationship to the bins!

But of course it helps, if you are seeking a divorce

Because for another ten bucks, you are freed of your remorse

And thus the lakhs of rupees spent from wedding to divorce

Are handled by the humble beggar in forty bucks, senor :)

Until later, Cuidate!
