The Story Continues......

Days passed by after our zero review....

Comes in first review.... just like everyone we start our work only the day before.... we decided not to bother our Off-campus guide and planned that we do our ppt presentations on our own.... and after 1 hour in the "Google Ocean" i got some papers and bla bla articles and managed a 20 slide ppt. We were like "machi chance-a illa no one can beat us this time". And we partitioned the slides so that each gets a chance to explain, We settled with the following plan - Gowtham will do the intro,Mothi will explain the concept,I will explain the process,Saravanan will do the finishing touches !!!! we decide this and we depart.... oh i forgot to tell you this time we did the slides in my PC ;) Home advantage :)

Next day- First review....
We went to college as usual and we were boasting "machi 20 slides da, de 20 slides da".Just then Mr.K.P.Balaraja Gopalan Our Ex-Class first enters the scene and asks what the matter is we tell him about our 20 slides he just shook his head and remained silent for sometime and came near me and told machi we have "47 slides". I was like ada narayana... Nammala vida periya mokkaiya irukkan.... and i reported this matter in the gang and we were like de de de.... bla bla bla.... This time the jury got even stronger it was Mr.JX,MBA,ECE,Civil,Mech Hod's. Every other batch was scared but we remained positive coz we knew how Mr.JX would ask questions. Our batch was supposed to be the 7th to do the presentation,Mr.JX took time to start the presentation. The event started at around 1200 Hrs and by 1300 Hrs they completed only 6 batches and they went to lunch.... we got pissed... we were also hungry so we decided to go to canteen,the worst place for input in the entire city !!!!
After lunch we all were back.... Our guide came out and told us "Princi illa,namma Hod apram Mba Hod avalo tha". he also added they don dig much but ask everyone just one question "what have you done so far ?". We were ok about it as Er.S had some quotation and some brochures to console the staff's.... in we go and we start to present.... Our Hod stops and asks us to come closer and he just asked one question "is it possible for you to fabricate this ?" we replied in chorus "yes" and he asked us to explain and we do that.... and leave the place happily !!!!!

I'm feeling lil sleepy now.... din sleep today in our coll so....... You know.... the reaction... Review Continues.......

My Project,The story so far.....

Actually speaking my project is really about Refrigeration. I don think that was a really good start up never mind as this line adds some glitz to the above line lets forget about the start up... ;) Back to the project, the title of our project is big not very big compared to tarun's project.Don ask me his title i dunno what it is also i'm sure even he doesn know the full title [I bet dude... i know i know ;)]. Here goes the Title "Performance Studies on Solar-air Source Heat Pump Water Heater". Everyone in our department including our H.O.D had to read it again.

The day was a weekday dunno when but sure it was some freaky working day...Err here i'm going to tell you our story of how we faced our "Zero Review"

The day before.....
Our manager "Er.Saravanan" (He wrote this name in his note,Pl. Note his name.He's our class first) called me up and the following convo took place

Er.S : "machan tomorrow zero review da wat to do"
Me : Oh appadiya.... ok so tel what is the matter why did you call...
Er.S : de dash tomo seriousa review da.... not comedy we have show in ppt what we are going to do in our project
Me : ada gonniya.... ok ok come home we'll do something....
Beep Beep
Enna looku.... phone vechachu.....

They called up our Real Guide and asked him what to do he told "ok pa wait sometime I'll send some slides just show it tomo" He sent a mail to us saying that his PowerPoint got corrupted so he's sent word by word on in what manner the slides must be prepared by a ".doc" file. At this point of time ER.s called me and told me to come to their room and i went there... then they showed me the file which our guide had sent, i bet no one can send it as simple and clear as he did.... we started to get into work bla bla bla.... 15 minutes passed by "machi success" Shouted Mothi Kiruba Shankar aka Eating machine aka Pothy's. we all(Me.Er.S,Gowtham Shankar) were eager to see what he has done... oh by the way he's not the one who did all the work it was me and Er.S, he was just giving some final touches to it.... and we sent it to our guide for him to check.After sometime a Er.S got a call "enna pa oru vela kudutha olunga panna theriyatha......." he spoke for the next five minutes Only him silence for our Er.S's Side....Only then we realized that we just put the matter correctly but not the proper font which he mentioned and in some pages the size too was missed by us... Never mind he sent the ppt file with all the corrections made.... Good Him !!!!

Now its supposed to be the day when the review was to be presented..... Fayaz the so called class rep aka "pi-aakee" (No question No Answers on this) came into the hall and told the respective guides must be present there when they are presenting, we went to our college guide "Mr.M.jayanth Kumar" remba nalla manasu kaarar (Nejama... Avvalo Nallavar) told us "achacho" morning full-a class irukkey... afternoon paathukalam..... Lunch.... Back to hall.... Some how we were the last batch to present our guide had some work... no choice.... until then the jury consisted only the H.O.D's of civil and MBA(Note the MBA HOD here). Here comes the twist - Enters the Great Mr.Joesph Xavier... Er i'm not sure if i can add what all is his nick names... I'm not going to get into that topic now as i can write for pages,lets make it a separate post. We play the presentation the name slide pop's up, Gowtham was about to explain the first half...."One minute" comes a voice, we all turn back only to find its from Mr.J X, Oops i forgot to tel who that is... btw he's our Principal. Damn it we all have our faces down Er.S and Mothi told in chorus "sethom da machi" Mr.JX told i don't want to see all these things just tell me what is about. We were ok about and it and took turns to explain him and he was convinced about our project and told its a "Good project to go with". But one things sir added The MBA wala dunno what his name is.... "explain me about heat pump ?" he popped his first question @ Us !!!! ("explain me about heat pump ?" this is how he asked us). Er.S being the brightest of all started it... Mothi did it next... I did it next.... Gowtham also did explain in all possible ways.... Until this point of time we were all speaking in engleepeech... Mothi lost his temper and asked him "saar tamil-la vena solta ?" and started for some 10 mins roughly Er.s contd Gowtham and me joined.... he was not ready to accept,we even showed the paper in which the exact explanation was published he was not ready to accept it he blindly told "that is all wrong you go study properly and come i'l accept your project" Mr.JX told its ok sir let them carry on,But Mr.MBA Hod insisted that we come and deal with him before we proceed with the project..... the time taken for all those things to happen : 1 hour 5 mins. we were pissed off and
Gowtham was like "goyyaley avan mattum kaila sikkina sethan da"
Mothi "aalum mandaiyum paaru sonna purinchu kanum illa pothitu irukkanum"
Me "Machi veetuku pogala da pasikkudu"
Er.S "De nee vera en da.... mudiyala come lets go"

We saw the jury coming out of the hall we all muted ourselves..... then we got down the steps and waited near the exit of the main building,crossed Mr.MBA and JX,Mr.Mba told "Thambi nalla padichutu vaanga pathathu... I'm not convinced". We just shook our head and walked away no body spoke anything for the next five mins we all were exhausted.... Home was the destination for us all.... phew long post i know thanks for getting so long....

Next post will Continue from where we left......
