PROJECT EXHIBITION WOES (TECXPEDITION 2006)

To start with I’ll like to tell you what is tecxpedition.. It is an initiative taken by our company to showcase the projects which are being worked on in our company - their domain, their technology, their complexity and finally the sheer raw talent (Us :D). I’d like to also put light on the fact that our project managed to win the first prize in the exhibition. But the way we got everything into place was more than a ride, which I am going to tell you and which none of us will ever forget.

PROLOGUE –

Well actually the way we got involved in the project exhibition was quite of an adventure in itself. When the news of the project exhibition first reached our project we gladly asked our Big Guy Amit to register our project for it (1 Lakh Prize money made us glad – turned out to be 35K – Tip: never assume always be clear). But this was about a month or two before the exhibition actually started and over time most of us totally forgot about it. Then we realized that our project deadlines were also coming up so we wouldn’t be competing..

However the list of short listed projects came up a week before the exhibition and we created a blunder. Our project registration was done twice.. Once by Big Guy Amit and the other time by Super Big Guy Omkar, therefore we weren’t allowed to step down and we also hadn’t prepared at all, thinking all this time that we had cancelled our registration. So then, there we were.. Six days to go and a project presentation to be done totally from scratch. (Cheh Din – Prize Money IN :D)

DAY 1 –

It is Friday, the 8^th of September .. we come office for a normal day and get to know by afternoon that our project registration has not been cancelled. So we will be competing but none of us, except team leaders and above, have an idea about how to present our project. Actually the problem is that the project is very very huge. Even an introduction session of a new team member can take hours, even days. But at the exhibition no one is going to have more than 15 minutes for the project (provided we manage to keep his/her interest which again is doubtful). So we decide to call upon a team meeting at around 6 in the evening. (Project deadlines are being worked on till that time). In the meeting it is decided that we will meet on Saturday for say an hour to finalize on ideas. And everyone is supposed to come up with ideas. By that time Kunal is assigned the work of getting two small size motors (Tillu Motors) to show real-time simulation of our project. Everyone leaves for home to get some ideas to office tomorrow.

DAY-2 –

Here dawns Saturday, and instead of snuggling up in the bed on a weekend, we get ready to go to office at 11. And I’m the 4^th person to reach office, and that too at 12 J. Still we hang on there as the remaining members of the team turn up one by one and I feel glad that I’m not the only person whose weekend has been ruined .. hehe .. Ok so once all the dignitaries have arrived we start with the ideas sharing session. Clearly we can see that no-one has thought about any ideas, but we still manage to come up with some ideas on the spot. And finally we decide that we’ll be having a PowerPoint Slideshow running on a PC, some 5-6 posters which will show the basic overview and the User-Interface of our system and finally a flash presentation to show the real-time data flow of the system. However now comes the real question as to who will be in-charge of the actual presentation delivery, and in a flash of a second we have fingers flying here and there!

Options –

Kunal – The most eligible candidate cause of his background of Bihari education where he can convince anyone that he’s a Masters in every field you can think of and haven’t ever heard of (kidnapping & extortion included).

KP – Looking at the size and mass on this one (6’3’’ – 100Kg).. it is highly probably that even a newbie will get a total understanding of the system without any doubts.

Devi – With her dazzling moves and seductive looks people are definitely going to have a hard time NOT agreeing to whatever she tells them.

Nishikant – The deep understanding of Bollywood and Soap Operas that he possesses is much of an asset on his resume. If he loses any link in the narration chain he can revert to those assets bundled with PJ’s to put the person in front wondering as to - lets just agree to what he says and get the hell out of here.

Rewa – Her uncanny resemblance to our German clients makes her a worthy candidate for the presentation lobby. And plus we were planning to have KP in the doubt clearing section. So you have a doubt.. she orders KP to clear the query and then wham-bham-dhishoom and doubt cleared. :D

Kshitij – His low-waist jeans will be more than just a distraction for people coming on to the stalls for them to understand the project, and then raise any queries if any.

Sagar – Jai Maharashtra – No further questions J

Amey – He is the oldest member of our team so he must not have any problems explaining the project to anyone. And plus his current hair-do would remind people of the baal-ki-dukaan from the Amir Khan's Coke Ads some years back. So someone asks him "What will happen if one of your tank's temprature rises?" and he'll reply "How is that possible ? Kyunki ye Thanda hi to hai :D "

ME – No comments :)

But even though all of us had such splendid core competencies, no one was ready to take up the job of the presentation. Still .. convincing the guys into it was not such a big problems as the conversation given below will show.

Kunal: Nahi yaar, presentation dena apne type ki baat nahi .. koi aur presentation de.

Me: Ekdum .. ladkiyon ko presentation ki responsibility dete hai ..

KP: Yes ..i agree as well ..

Someone else: Maine suna hai Cummins Women’s college se ladkiyan bhi aa rahi hai ..

Me: I have no problems with giving the presentation. Actually I would like people to know the effort we’ve put into the project B-).

Kunal: De dete hai .. presentation to main bachpan se de raha hun :D

Rest of the Guys: haan kyun nahi .. de dete hai ..

So finally the tasks are assigned

Kunal & KP (The Art Couple): With the setup of the hardware along with motors and stuff.

Devi, Rewa & Kshitij : Putting up Posters around the project stall.

Sagar, Amey & Nishikant : Managing the project stall, setting it up and deciding the layout.

Me: Getting a flash presentation ready.

And we leave for home to start with the tasks assigned.

DAY-3 –

It’s a beautiful Sunday and whoever thought we would waste our Sunday and do our assigned work better needs to get sober now.

DAY-4 –

Ok, Monday the dreaded day has arrived and everyone is supposed to get something meaningful to office. But as expected noone has anything worth taking credit for..

- the hardware setup team’s carpenter ditched them :D

- Poster team needs posters ready to set them up (which as expected are not ready)

- Stall Management team doesn’t have a stall yet

- I managed to learn over the weekend that flash is not as easy as people tell you.

But the major shock was our project leader Omkar called in sick. Now we are struck by the truth that this won’t be one of all the times when Omkar gets us out of situations, so we are on our own.

DAY-5 –

Tuesday is here, Omkar is not coming today as well and to make the matters worse Supermodel Devi calls in sick. Wow .. we’re in for a ride now.

Carpenter has still not come. Posters still not ready. Stall not yet assigned and I’ve learnt how to spell F-L-A-S-H. Sounds like fun!!!

DAY-6-

Wednesday arrives and now Big Guy cum PM Amit wakes up and tells we must get our project presentation ready. That is what we call dead-line conscious. He takes up the task of making posters. Kunal’s carpenter feels some pity for the art couple and decides to show up at 5 in the evening. Devi gets the thermocol supports for the posters and some black chart papers for the poster background. The stall is assigned and the stall management team gets ready to start working. And finally I realize how to get started with flash. By evening the poster soft-copies are ready which we are going to send for printing (Meanwhile all other teams have everything ready and also have ads set up everywhere to tell people about how wonderful their project is.. we still haven’t realized that setting up ads outside the stall as well will be a nice idea).

It’s 9 pm in the office .. our entire team is still there .. but seems that we have managed to finish off work. The table for the tank gauge (An instrument used for measuring various parameters from a tank like level and temperature – that is what our project is about) is ready.. the motors are in place and all seems set at the hardware setup side. The poster backgrounds are ready as black chart paper has been put up neatly on the thermocol pieces and are looking cool. And the flash presentation is ready .. looks of more like a powerpoint presentation but we managed get some spice into it by KP’s idea to take pictures of actual hardware by a cell phone camera against a black background and then using these pictures as images in the presentation to show how the data flows thru our system .. and trust me it looks awesome. So we leave for home to come back to office tomorrow at 9 in the morning.

D-Day I –

Today is the first day of the event, we are supposed to get the stall up and running by 9 and only half the team manages to reach office at that time. We reach office at 9:15 and realize that even the posters are not ready. Kunal, KP, Sagar and Omkar have managed to get the stall up and running .. And we have managed to reach office :D .. Then Amit goes to get the posters .. and we go to see our stall .. most of it looks in place and then someone gets a brilliant idea no one has thought of, to set up ads inviting people to visit our stall(Sense the sarcasm, please). So Kshitij, Devi, Rewa and me go downstairs to collect ideas for the ads, while the remaining people are getting ready for the presentation.

Post-Lunch we manage to get ads ready and then we have to set them up at all critical locations, that is the time we realize that we are out of transparent tape and don’t have decent scissors as well. So guess what?? We use brown duct tape cut with a crooked cutter to stick those ads (ugh! Who does that these days?) onto the walls, lifts, all places which aren’t already used by our competitors.. and trust me .. it looks ugly. For around an hour we are doing rides through the company lifts and sometimes we even manage to get lost as to which floor we are on currently. Those walls are till-date stained with our brown duct tape victory marks. But the job is still half done; we have to set up a big poster at the entrance to tell people where our project is located. And as expected we have one more problem, our ads aren’t looking good on the black chart paper we have. So Kshitij and me get an idea .. we rip off a spanking cool blue chart paper off the glass windows(set up by the house-keeping dept), put up to block the sunlight coming in. Even the chart paper must have never thought that it would be a part of the epic award winning team (The next day it was ripped off again – but it had got it’s moment of glory).

So all is set-up.. Our posters have arrived.. we stick them onto the black chart paper and it looks neat. Our work is finally complete and Kunal, KP and Nishikant have done a good job to hold the fort of presentation and impress people by telling about the project. We finally manage to visit the stall in the evening, it had been good till then but it is tomorrow we are worried about cause tomorrow will be the day the judges will be coming. We’ve got quite decent feedback till then and we pack-up our stall at around 8 and leave for home.

D-Day II –

The last day has a lot in store for us. Today people have become more self-confident due to the presentations given by them yesterday and some have also managed to come up with various styles and punch lines to make their presentation jazzier.

Like whenever a person visiting the project looks like he’s getting bored listening to KP’s voice and over-done gestures, KP diverts their attention to the hardware box kept nearby. The Hardware is merrily blinking with red, orange and yellow LED’s and KP gets the punch-line in..

“The beauty of this system is blah blah blah blah … ”..
Use some more over-done sentences..
Again raise his voice and say “The beauty of this system is … ”..
The word “beauty” surely gets attention of most people..
He also manages to get a person so brain-washed that there is a feedback saying - “Nice project, the beauty of the system was that ……”. Argggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!

But the show-stealer like always is Mr. Kunal. I mean, whatever he does, he’ll get himself involved so much that he’ll forget where he is and what he is doing. Apparently his explanation of the project went something like this ..

Our hardware tells the sensor sitting beside the tank that “BOSS, GIVE ME DATA” (Most of us sitting beside actually fell off our seats, but the deep desire to watch his physical actions keeps us glued). Physically he is portraying the command with the upper part of the body showing that he is pulling something and the lower part (*parental guidance recommended*) of the body depicting a thrust. None of us gets what he is trying to illustrate until Omkar suggests that maybe it is some bi-directional protocol.

The rest of the crowd manages to get some presentation of theirs in between, but Prince Kunal swept the total public away. People came to rest of us in ones & twos but to Kunal in clumps (That’s the impact of a thrust). By evening we are all tired and the crowd has dried up. Then two babes come out of the blue to have a look at our project and before I can even understand that someone wants to see our project, Kshitij springs out of his seat to life, gracefully goes forth and starts explaining them the project (The force is really strong on this one), the babes give a nice feedback and one almost leaves a telephone number (Just kidding – sad .. wasn’t it ?).

Now it’s almost time to wrap up the dukaan. We pay a visit to the remaining projects, everyone has done a splendid job and we see the most innovative of ideas. Then we return to our desks after what has been a tiring day. Try to recollect what has happened over the day, the judges had visited our stall and were looking quite pleased with our efforts. So in all it has been a very productive day and all of us are eagerly awaiting the Annual awards night for the prize distribution.

NOT MUCH IN THE DISTANT FUTURE (The Annual awards night):

This night is much of an event in itself, but I’ll stick to the relevant part. Half of us have managed to reach on time. And the night is rolling, to start with, prizes are given out for paper presentations and then comes our category. And the prize for best project is announced and it is US. Kshitij and me start screaming with joy, but only our project lead Omkar is called onto the stage, probably the organizers don’t want Kunal on the stage telling our CEO that “BOSS, GIVE ME THE PRIZE MONEY” (accompanied with a thrust).

Anyways Omkar comes back with the prize, all of us go and flock him and he gives us the prize, which Devi safely keeps into her purse (Something which she can tell her grand-children about “Once I had 35K in my purse, and with the kind of salary we had that time, that was much more than a privilege”). We are so happy that we fail to realize that the best project is given to three projects and the prize money of 1 lakh is split between the three projects giving each one of them 35K. But that doesn’t matter much anymore. We have won, our efforts recognized.. not just the team with the presentation but the entire team with the development till-date as well .. our ex-team members are also involved in the celebration and we have a great time that evening.

FINALE:

This was how the Tecxpedition saga came to an end. It has been one hell of a joy-ride and we never play to lose .. :D .. The nice times are over; the feedback forms are kept away safely in my drawer as wonderful memoirs of that experience. And time and time again I go through them and laugh as I see feedbacks like “I liked the project especially the GUI”, which someone from the GUI team gracefully implanted. Then one more which tells about the beauty of the system, and trust me had I been someone visiting the stall I would have actually drawn Kunal in his stance onto the paper highlighting the protocol “BOSS, GIVE ME DATA”.

Well that is all I have to write at this time and I think most of you must have been too bored to get this far, and if you have come till here I would like to thank you for bearing with me and being a part of my experience. And sincerely ask you to stop reading cause I’m not writing a Novel. This is it.. THE END

P.S. – Just cause I’ve got back into my habit of writing, I shall be updating this blog quite often.

NOW IT’S REALLY – THE END.

BUNGEE JUMPING.. without ropes and in the opposite direction ..

Bungee jumping may be even more exciting than it sounds, however as many of us, right now, are not in a financial state as well as mental state to go through it.. Some engineers (including my friends and me) found a cheaper way out! Innovation at it's best, this method does not use any ropes, does not require going to some spot where there's a valley deep enough to jump and most importantly doesn't require the courage to go through it.

What we do is first gather friends and go to the Engineering fest "VERVE", organized every year for engineering students of Pune University. Then when the loud music gets your nerves all you do is pick on the person you hate the most and offer others the opportunity to fling him in the air. Most of them readily oblige and there will be 99% unison (with the 1% belonging to the person who is about to be hurled about 10-15 feet in the air - depending on the mass of the person and weather conditions). Once he is through the process he will have acquired a feeling of a lifetime and some revenge elements as he starts picking back on each and every one of the crowd, with the rest of the pack agreeing to the noble request.

This way you will manage to cherish your own moment of bungee jumping upside down. The feeling when you reach at the maximum height is the best.. you can see people far below you (5-6 feet :D) and the tingling sensation in your stomach is just addictive .. no wonder people prefer jumping down buildings to any other form of death !

NOTE: There can be cases when people hurling you up won't be in a mood to catch you on your return trip, might misjudge your body mass ( as what happened with me ) and even worse a hot babe might walk by initiating a process among the other males called ogling which may lead to their brain malfunction for a few seconds giving you enough time to travel an extra feet or two on your way back before you hit the ground (Ouch!) But be a sport like me and offer them a second chance. With that hurting elbow.. It’s even more fun ..

Do remember to get back to me ( via email - no physical abuse please ), when you have been through the sensation of a lifetime. But that will of course be after you get out of hospital and back to the pink of your health. Enjoy!!!!

A TREK TO LOHAGAD.

Hey you .. yeah you .. do you feel that your routine office life is getting into your head ?? Do you feel that you desperately need a break ??? Do you feel like banging your head on the keyboard ??? Don’t worry it’s normal :D And I am going to help you get out of the zone .. What u need is a trek .. like the one my colleagues and me had last week .. and now I am going to tell all you what all ingredients make up a splendid trek ..

A Sponsor: First and foremost what is needed is a sponsor. The trip can be arranged by equal contribution, but why go through so much calculation when you can take along an Aashutosh and have the trek fully sponsored!!! Also this sponsor works as a makeshift cameraman during the trek (He owns a very high resolution camera). A package you can’t miss, at least we won’t. On this account I would like to thank him for putting in all the finance for our trek, which also means you’re not getting our contributions. Thank you very much for that.

An Organizer: This is again an important ingredient of a trek, cause most of us are very clumsy at organizing and maybe if it wasn’t for Amey, our organizer and leader, we would have starved, missed the train or probably even lost ourselves in the jungles J. If you go to the supermarket hunting for this ingredient I bet it won’t slip from your sight considering the fact that it comes in a bright blue track pant. No more sarcasm as he’ll be organizing our next trek too, unless I really piss him off by this blog. So that’s it for him.

A Motivator: Treks can be hectic and at some stage can take the most out of you. It is at this time your team needs some motivation and who else can take up the role better than our very own Amruta. She had some genuine motivation going, by walking right at the lead of the pack and yelling out loud “Keep Moving or else I’ll slap you” .. That was more than enough for KP who moved from second-last place to the second place in a matter of nano-seconds. And if matters would have gotten worse I would have expected an even more motivating chant of “Please move or else I’ll cry !!” but thankfully that time did not arrive.

An Animal Relations expert: There are some times along the trek when you have some genuine queries regarding the wildlife, that is when you need an animal relations expert, Denila in our case. She was the one who enlightened us with the family history of two stray dogs and a puppy who wouldn’t let us eat nor would eat themselves. It turned out that one of the stray dogs was the puppy’s mamma .. and the other dog was the mamma’s friend. So finally when we split them up into two teams .. one with the puppy and the mamma and the other with only the mamma’s friend .. then only did the dogs eat in peace and let us do the same ..

She also introduced us to the monkeys who blessed us with their company. It turned out that their parents too were great fans of the serial FRIENDS considering they had named the monkeys as Monica and Chandler. If it weren’t for Denila we would never have had the glory of personally knowing those great beings.

As a matter of fact the only creatures that Denila is not comfortable with .. are flies .. however at this point Krishnan took over admitting that he was once a proud owner of a fly collection and shares an inadvertent love for the creatures.

An Animal Cupid: Giving back something to the nature is as important as taking something from it. When we went to Lohagad we got great company and refreshment from the nature so we decided to play our part in giving back to nature by taking with us the animal cupid … Krishnapratap (KP in short).. to give the wildlife the gift of love. And the effect was immediate .. he managed to get some goats love-struck on the way up and got some monkeys give some rather obscene gestures on the way back. We do not know how much they were touched by him .. but he is pretty sure that he had touched every one of them personally.

A Gym Instructor: You may also meet some obstacles when you are trekking. These may include climbing down rocks where some people (including me) might chicken out. That’s the time when our bellied gym instructor Kunal came in handy. He was the one who climbed down and then started chanting “Arre aa naa .. main hun na” so many times that people like me who wouldn’t climb down .. finally went down to stop him from uttering his irritating war-cry.

A Path Finder: Nishant was very efficient in his role of a path finder. He kept moving ahead of the group and finding places where we could rest or eat. Sometimes he moved so much ahead that we had to call him up on his cell to get to know his whereabouts J. But the role got to him so much that he finally managed to find a way out of our project team as well and now he’s working peacefully in a land far far away.

Entertainers: A trek can get very boring if there is no entertainment. Entertainers encompass a wide range of people from people who crack very bad PJ’s at the wrong places at the wrong times (You guesses it right .. that’s Nishikant) to people who talk very sensible stuff at very appropriate places at the right times .. only in such a Mallu accent that will swipe you off your feet and leave you gasping for breath (this phenomenon can be observed more towards the top of the fort as you are already short of breath) .. but that’s Rajesh and no one would want to argue on this point at least. A gem in his vocabulary would be the way he pronounces the word Vinchu Kata (which means the sting of a scorpion) after infinite attempts he has stabilized on “winzoo gada”. More entertainment came in the form of arguments in Marathi between Kunal and Rajesh .. ( Both of them suck at marathi .. but we try to make them think they are great .. which definitely is a rich source of very fresh entertainment as no word is pronounced the same by them on two different occasions) ..

The Equilibrium Maintainer: The nature has it’s own way of maintaining balance .. everyone will agree upon that .. but what happens when a group of blabbermouths enter the forests ? It gets polluted with the noise of these people (That’s us). But we did our part in maintaining the balance. We had Reva with us. The more we talked the less she did .. and thus maintaining the volume equilibrium. Keep the good work up Reva. No wonder nowadays the other teams in our development centre don’t complain about the loud noise levels in our team.

Trek Coach : A coach is again an important ingredient without which any trek would be incomplete .. Shekhar Anna was responsible of taking the team in one piece and getting it back in one J .. but he carried out his job flawlessly. It was he who rang out our team anthem on his cell-phone when we were tired and down.

NOTE: For people who are unaware of our team anthem .. it’s a ringtone that Shekhar Anna has on his mobile where a kid is singing a song and then some more kids join in for chorus. The lyrics go like this :

(The Kid)

na na nana naaa .. na na nanana ..
na na nah na na naa naaaaa ...
(Chorus)
naaa na nanana naa .. nana nana naaa ..
naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

And Finally

Some Aam Janata (General Crowd): The Aam Janata is again very important .. or else who else will appreciate the effort of all the people enlisted above ? In our trek the Aam Janata involved Krishnan who kept talking and talking as if the topic was of minimum concern .. one moment he’s talking about bikes .. the next moment I hear him talking about princess Diana ..then he comes up to Salman Khan .. it was as if his trustworthy follower Ketan was switching channels on him. Another person who must be mentioned in this section is Kshitij .. he was doing a great duty to us by listening ( or probably pretending to listen) to all the crap talk and theories put forth by Kunal. Sagar was responsible for directions .. who said men don’t ask for directions ?? .. Sagar was asking for them at every turn on the way … And finally Me ( That’s Veerendra ) I was responsible for chickening out at the rocks .. and getting some more people chickened out too . and getting to you a very larger than life image of the trek that we had.J

These are all the essential ingredients which will make your trek a tasty delicacy. Just don’t forget water, food and Glucon-D or else you are screwed. So I will end this recipe on a note that get your ass out of you chair and go for a trek. Why should we be the only one’s to suffer a week of cramps after the trek???????

The Assassination of the Hardware Kit.

Today will go down as a Black Day in the memories of Team ***** [Name not disclosed due to security concerns] .. though it cannot be said that such a mishap was not totally unforeseen considering it to be a inauspicious day ( Yes people u guesses right .. what else do u expect on Lakhan's B'Day ) .. So based on the extensive probing done by the panel of us morons .. we have established some theories as to the root cause of this mishap .. so without further adieu let me put forth the theories ..

Backdrop On The Incident
Body Count : 1
Deceased: The Kit.
Incident: This happened today, the 14th Day of March 2006, when crazy frog Ankur G ..decided to do great service to entire mankind(read IT community) by connecting a power supply to the kit .. but it seemed destiny thought otherwise .. as soon as he inserted the plug there was a deafening noise and flames erupted it was like all ‘HELL’ broke loose exactly as the Crazy Frog video would show it .. (thankfully Crazy frog didn’t get hurt as again the video would show it) .. people gathered all around at the spot of the mishap .. and when the smoke cleared there were lying the mortal remains of a kit which just few moments back was happily raising alarms,blinking merrily in all its glory .. who would have expected such a sad & sudden demise for such a pure & innocent device .. It had been blackened in the right places .. Gay-Bee was weeping loud enough for people in the cafeteria to know about it .. After running innumerable builds the kit had finally succumbed to the coding of Rajesh and his allies .. and thus the tormented soul of the late kit was set free but will haunt our memories forever. But as the gossip goes, people expected foul play in it and a panel of Morons was appointed for further insight into the matter.

Theory No 1 .. strongest so far ..
Title: Lakhan’s sadistic attack to Screw Crazy Frog’s Impression
Cast:
- Lakhan Singh: A notorious dacoit from Chambal Ghati who currently hold a very high position of authority but whose dirty old self still lurks in the inner recesses of his demented mind.
- Ms. SuperModel: Hailing from Somalia this SuperModel is every dacoit’s dream, but she dreams of setting the ramps of Paris on fire.
- Crazy Frog: Ankur G: Here is the guy who was inspiration for the creation of the Crazy Frog. He’s mean, he’s determined and he’s a FROG.
Prime Suspect: Lakhan Singh
Brief History: For the past few days we have been seeing immense conflicts between people just for impressing our very own Ms. SuperModel .. Though most of the people in the ensuing melee were not so strong enough to bear the wrath of Lakhan there was one person ( or maybe well put as a frog ) who wouldn’t let go Ms. SuperModel without a fight .. and that brave personality would be our very own Crazy Frog Ankur G .. So finally Lakhan felt that it was time he got rid of his greatest rival till date ..
The Theory: This was a very strategically planned conspiracy and no one but Lakhan could have it so well executed .. This also shows the extent to which he can go to acquire his most prized possession till date .. Ms. SuperModel. Lakhan knew from his various sources of intelligence that crazy frog was responsible for supplying power to the Kit placed just beside him .. so the night before the date he had his mercenaries go up and fix the explosives just waiting to be detonated .. and it was detonated at exactly the time Lakhan wanted … so that it would have Crazy Frog in a situation where he looks responsible for the sad demise of the kit. This in turn would have directed the anger of all the Team members to an actually innocent Crazy Frog. But relax Lakhan we know better .. the panel will see that proper justice is done ..

Theory No. 2
Title: The Developer/Tester skirmish saga
Cast:
- Rajesh M.C.: He’s a nightmare for testers specialized in terminating modules when least expected. A bug logged on his name can never be reproduced.
Prime Suspect: Rajesh M.C.
Brief History: The tester – developer conflict dates back to the days of Adam and Eve .. or probably much before that .. and as heritage takes us we all had been blindly following the duty as assigned by our roles .. but there was a visionary with the name of Rajesh who saw a way through this herd mentality which would place developers on a much stronger hold in the fight for control. And the day had dawned for his revenge …
The Theory: Rajesh was an average person when he grew on the seashore of Kerala .. who would say at that time that he would go on the become the greatest warrior in the epic battle of developers and testers … Working hard he finally earned his role as a developer but the testers wouldn’t let him rest .. bug after bug was targeted at him but he fought his way through them all .. while one day he had a dream and he was enlightened .. in the dream mata Yam-Aye 2 ( MI – II ) asked him to get over the battle once and for all .. and from that day Rajesh decided that enough was enough .. he started working hard on his invention which would shake the foundation of the tester community .. and finally his invention was ready .. though it took some help from the great Shogun warrior Swikar .. the effort was worth it .. so when an unsuspecting tester was busy connecting a power supply to the kit .. Rajesh silently pressed a key on his computer and LO BEHOLD!!!! there went the command .. through the mighty network to the intended device “the kit” .. and it could do little but obey and it erupted into flames. Rajesh had proven his point .. no tester would ever ask him to reproduce a bug again ..

Theory No. 3
Title: Aggravating the Mistress.
Cast:
- Madame HunterWali: The Dark Mistress herself, not much information is available on her whereabouts cause she lurks in the darkest corners of the cursed cubicle of JavaScript.
- Crazy Frog: You just can’t keep him out of the limelight can you ?
- The Mistress’s loyal servants: Peru, Devil and undercover spy Mr. Foreigner.
Prime Suspect: Madame HunterWali
Brief History: In the far corners of our company, beyond the realms of the world of us mortal C++ programmers starts the land of elite immortal JavaScript Developers ruled unanimously by the Dark Mistress, she-who-should-not-be-named, Madam HunterWali – that NOT the real name cause she really shouldn’t be named .. anyways moving ahead
The Land of JavaScript still trembles upon the very thought of the mistress which is guarded by her 2 faithful zealots, Peru and Devil, who can be seen listening to the Dark Mistress’s sermons on their headphones. But the stupid goliath Gay-Bee couldn’t keep his mouth shut and let other people work in peace .. he often used to visit the Dark Land and speak ill of the mistress .. and even she tried all her whipping on him but just nothing could get through his thick hide .. But then one day the mistress thought that he had to be taught a lesson .. and such a one that nobody henceforth would challenge her supremacy.
The Theory: The activity of the zealots had begun long back crawling the internet hunting for information on RDX and other explosives. And the mistress was so eager to teach Gay-Bee a lesson that she sent out her most trusted servant as a spy just outside the cubicle of testers. Who would say that the poor looking foreigner client listening songs on his headphones and looking around the cubicles was actually listening to the Mistress’s Sermons and spying on the other people ? The plan was all set properly . at 2 pm there would be a blast of the kit beside Gay-Bee which would rid the world of his existence. And when the time came again our hero Crazy Frog got a hint of the evil plan .. and in order to save his dear friend he himself took the gift of death out to his own cubicle .. and there was a blast .. but the Crazy frog video did it again .. crazy frog escaped without a scratch and saved the life of his beloved friend .. However the Mistress was not pleased, she would be back with a vengeance and a with mightier scale of destruction …

Final Word: Though this has been a sad incident which has shattered the hearts of millions of fans of the hardware kit, we will ensure that proper justice is done to the martyr kit which went down obeying the orders given to it on its Web Server.

*** Let the noble spirit of the deceased kit Rest In Peace. ***
