Of Robotix and the Most Memorable Time of My Life.

I do not know whether I should say anything at this juncture, but I would just like to give an account of my brief relation with Robotix....

When first Gaurav(B) said that " we are a family......you will understand it later....." . I really did not know what to think or respond, particularly because the heads seemed too distant and co-ordinators were , well, near godlike. I was really afraid of Sassy that time(which I am a little now even!)

But during the event these differences just seem to melt away.... and I got to know the seniors better;all the heads , coordinators and the super coordinators. Being on the Robotix Help Desk also was a challenge, which I hope I took head-on.

Also I observed a very amazing fact , that as long the co-ordinators were with us , we had this inner reassurance that nothing could go wrong . I guess this comes with experience; I endeavor to reach this level one day.

The continuing echoes from the mind forcing you to sleep, to sleep on the Vikramshila seat cutting wires, to watch a teammate dream of flowers,to explain the people that ktj events info was to be found inside the Colosseum, to be nicknamed "Dog-Lover", to explain the intricacies of Terra Ranger and Stackistics along with Nightshift and Overnite..............when hunger and thirst give way to sheer excitement and accomplishment of finishing an event, from Shantanu to Patel
to TRS and back again, to announce stuff inside the ktj control tent............. all these are the memories that will remain etched in my memory for ever.

As far as "Jhaad" is concerned I totally think that we deserved it ......as we are not the right people to judge our own effort. It's people who have been there , done that that can give a straight idea of what we lacked.Maybe we all got too critical after the day was over.

Now I truly understand what being in a family meant....I now realize the depth in those words.

Even if I "makhaoed" in this event... I daresay I'll strive to redouble my efforts as i go along and may you see me with redoubled vigour and zeal in Robotix 09

As Al Bernstein once said : "Success is often the result of taking a misstep in the right direction."

Thank You

ROBOTIX ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
