This
IS a bit late, but considering all the fun we had I think it's well worth a flash back.
Oh and by the way this template is a tribute to Barney Stinson.
Awesome.Inc
It all started off with a little bit of persuasion from our ever hard working painfully packed Padia.
kudos to him.
He finally forced me into going. Oh, he tried bribing me with seats next to girls
In the Train (that one failed miserably, with me calling him a pervert and him not being able to respond... well that
WAS his self-proclaimed name :P)
So finally on the first of December we board the train bound to Mysore and a trip that i'll never forget in my life ensued. The Journey to Mysore was peaceful, with me amusing myself by cursing Padia.
The Mysore
Padia promised us an exciting trip,and
BOY was it exciting. Started off with a BANG!!
The second we got down we got caught by the TT and reason, We had NO
GIRLS, yes no girls in our troop. Well this may seem weird, but there were 5 tickets booked for girls and well, some people took their places, oh... well...
So five of us were either jailed for six months or we had to cough up 10K CASH!!!
then practical Padia wanted me to be raisaf!?! WTF!? and finally Pitiful padia got the fine down to well 1.2K..
So then we were off to a number of places actually HD Kote and then Kenchanahalli, where we BELONGED according to a certain someone we code named James bond and his side kick the ever faithful Yoga practicing Spiderman ( No wonder Spiderman's
THAT flexible).
Kenchanahalli
JamesBond
This is one place NO ONE in that camp will forget,
EVER.
There were good and bad aspects to this place.
The good : The rooms and the coordinators and NFS and Peace putting and Movies and Bed Bugs and creepy caterpillars and the snakes and the single digit temperatures and the food (many tend to disagree upon this, i'll leave this open to debate, though):D
The Bad: James bond, Spider Man, The
Innocent Dig driver and the Museum piece kalai :\
OK, before I continue, I must introduce the Villain and his not so villainous side kick ( again debate). James Bond or the lethal spy or NODDY as he known was our own IITM alumnus. He gave up a life of luxury to serve the needy, while this might be all heart warmng/melting and nice to all you guys , we really didn't like him much. End of story. He gave us work, not because they had it, but to make
IITians work. Where was that coming from, We still don't know. The douche overslept for
HIS NSS interview and joined NCC. To top this off he was an iVil member. So LOOOOONG history with the insti, and best of all he didn't want to be associated with the likes of "us",
mere IITians he called us.... (Not that I agree or disagree to this).
Bottom line ,We were Ill treated by a fellow IITian
Oh, I Almost Forgot. bond Didn't want to marry nor was he interested in women, Talk about Irony.
WOW
This was the summary Of Bond Now I'll explain to you how we found out soo much about him..
Spider Man
This one was
Weird he was from gujrath, He wanted to serve the tribals and he was a lot better than Bond. Even though he hated us from the bottom of his hear he was nice, sarcastically andreally. This dude was all about practicality. Doctor from Kanjoos land and now doing stuff for free, that was like a hitting a solid brick wall, it defied all logic and was, wee, true. Ok now, this dude prepared food for us and the food was really nice, but chappati's were limited.
Spider man was quite boring to be frank :|
After our Meal of a Single chappati and infinite rice we went to
work
This work was New we had to sit and listen to who else but the ALL EXCITING BOND Drone On and On an ON about SVYM (Swami Vivekanada Youth Movement) what these people were doing was mind blowingly brilliant, but we didn't deserve that torture. And we were given our first assignments.
- Recreation for Hospital patients
- Something Arbitrary
- Something even worse than the above.
So, yeah that was all I could remember. And Addition, It was for Kannada speaking Tribal people. SO. Then we were taken on a tour around the campus and shown all the stuff there, and well those dudes had put in a lot of work in that place and it really did help the tribals and most of the stuff was free too. So we returned to base camp all impressed and decided to loaf and well, kill time and hope that the number system contorts itself to make 6 come after one and so that we could get back home, but life isn't that easy and we had to endure
The Chilly Night of Kenchanahalli . And James bond, by the way his name is praveen, (
I Warn you Vader and Bracket and the other innumerable Praveens out there, His path is an awkward one) had promised us a
Fun filled day and we had to leave to leave to Sargur early next day, but then came spider man, ever ready to share his knowledge and flexibility and said that we had optional yoga class. It was optional but then came
Enthu Padia and woke everyone up and commanded us to go to yoga. The rest is history I didn't go the others did.
Padia Put
S in yoga also Ankit Put
A And i was the proud
putter of
W.
We found out that Spider man was called Dennis and he was a real menace in the mornings, in a dennis the menace kind of way..
Sargur
Sargur was really really beautiful place, they had an awesome hospital there, albeit with a very boring set of employees and they never seemed happy inside the hospital. Outside, they were bundles of joy, bright rays of sunshine beaming as if they were ready to light up the earth in case the sun decided to commit suicide or another star roughed it up or died.
Then we went to the school, met the founder and director of SVYM Dr. R. Balasubramaniam. The work he does has to be commended and his perseverance next to none and he schooled us on discipline by making us arrange our slippers in a row once we were all comfy. One word for that man
RESPECT. (you'll be encountering very few paragraphs like this one, so peace out).
Then we met The awesomest guy there. i forgot his name but I remember him very distinctly. He's a guy who practices organic farming AND the first plant/weed he showed us was purusharathna, well, I could call him that had he stopped there but he went on ahead and told us that it was Indian.... wait for it...
Viagra
so I'll call him that. So he showed us his really really awesome organic farming place and we kept asking him what he did to make that organic farm that awesome all he said was
Nothing, you read that right a vibrant and joyous nothing. Most of what he said had
Lots of innuendo and his metaphors were very fornication oriented, yeah and similes were very
FUN that dude was awesome. And if you ever go to him for advice all you'll get is a happy, joyous and vibrant
Nothing. And His farm is a sight to behold. every single thing grows there. And he
Imitates Forests. He was the most awesome dude there.
I don't remember what we did after that so
PACK
Survey day
Survey day was where things got Really interesting. we had to go to a couple of villages 100 Km apart and like 50 Km from sargur and take rainwater harvesting surveys, basically how the stuff they installed worked. And to sum it up it was disguised unemployment ( To all you people who didn't bother with basic economics read up here!
I am a Dumbfuck)
We had 25 people working on one house we occupied more space than that effing RWH thing and we proceeded to sit in our bus and wait for player plotter Padia to work and come back. Now, this is where the driver decides to poke his bald fucking head in. Remember this part, It'll bite us in the arse this one and then after it was over we went to the next village where we had to work and fortunately everyone was happy and complained only about the filters so, yeah it was like listening to
Varun Govindaraj after he's insulted or beaten by someone he doesn't like so that was peaceful.
That Night, bond decided to take a dig at us and gave us some work
A virtual school(
Imaginary). There's a Lot more to this trip but the details are excruciatingly painful and boring. Headmaster of the tribal school complaining about us (YAY 100% record) and Chandranshu.... well Chandranshu...
That night we were pained with bond and the spider man and so we took it out on Ankit and his love for Paisa (did i forget a slash below the P, oh well...) and Padia naam... This is on the next edition. Then the next day, we were asked to de-weed the premises of the kenchanahalli campus and we did so, with me in the process
hurting some of their useful plants and learning how to hack people using a sickle from like 10 yards away. (
Awesome Right!?!) now I am the master Ninja of NSS VOLS...
HAHAHAHA Bow down Unto the Ninja!!
On a completely unrealted note to my awesome abilities we were raped that night. Insti style. Oh, and Bond was from Narmada. So
NARMAD KI MAA KA BHOSDA!@!!
he complained about everything. I bet he was a crib in his last birth.
Cribber. Then Pure and serene Padia and Paisa waisa ankit got pained and started working, well they did and yeah that's about it.
They worked. (Summed Up Nicely no?) But actually we also worked. Chief weed cutters me and pradeep.
The Final DAY
Final day was about Mysore. We cam back and we decided to sight see and we went to Mysore palac eand we were tourists. What better to do than shop so padia went ahead and bought 3
sandal wood fans for 100 bucks, very nice right!?!?
Wrong I got 1 for 15 bucks :D so went the bargaining game bringing down the price of a necklace fromm 100 to 10 it was INSANE fun and yet there was sree satwick ready to get bulbed he went to a guy and asked the price of an item 250 was the immediate reply and he immediately said sell it for 40 then the immediate retort was
go buy a chocobar and enjoy kid LOL. so yeah then we went and caught the train and we're back and Paifully packed padia blacked out in the train poor guy. His body couldn't handle more than 4 hours of sleep a day.
Thus Ended our journey.
Sorry Ankit you're not there in this photo will put article about you and your exploits tomorrow :D
