Just a small wire!!!

The same internet centre somewhere in Chennai
3.50 pm

Hi Rachel and everyone...
Finally, my Robot is a big failure here. And the reason is just a small wire. A small wire from the supply got burned during our trial. And that made the difference.
Still, we are happy for arriving here. Because, we learned a lot here. After all, failures are the stepping stones of success.
Well, from tomorrow, I will be free. Just attending a few seminars and participating in on-the spot events and visiting this city in the evenings...I'm not going to reply to the comments today as I've very limited time in the net centre ( actually, net access is costlier in Chennai. They charge you 20 bucks for just one hour).
Rachel, I've just read your posts. I liked the way you celebrated Chris' birthday(or should I say unbirthday?). These are the small things which make the life beautiful...aren't they??
Oh...I'm running short of time. I'll see you all tomorrow.
May be...tomorrow, I will be writing my experiences with my robot and how we met a man in Ritchie Street...and so on...
Naheed...I read your posts but I've not seen your picture there. It's nice to see you people writing comments for my posts...
That's it for today...
signing off...
Satya...
Life is creative...

Hi again Satya! That´s a real pity! Just a small wire caused your team has failed. I fell sorry for you, but you are going the right way to cope with it! "Life is creative..."- that expression could be mine as I agree wholehearted! Keep up having a good time in Chennai and I am wondering about your experiences you have admitted to tell us about. Here in Germany it is an Idiom that one travelling could tell storys after it. By the way, you are pretty good at English! I líke your posts. They are small things that make life worthy too...

Hi Satya! Your entry is just lovely, or short and sweet as it is in English! Even more it´s so good to write your name, I mean this short one, because of the Truth! I am sory of your troubles there, in a course of the life we would get over some. You know in a proper way how to make it useful for the future. You have to look beter up on june´s blog page, there still is a pretty photo of Naheed! Good luck!

hi ra mams thats a good happened to robot

Hi Satya... nice seeing you here. I was just browsing visiting your blogger account all these and wondering what happened to you. I'm sorry that you failed with the robot. But don't lose spirits. All the best. When do you come back to vizag?

Hello again, I think Satya, these are the happenings of life which are sometimes not in our hands. So better luck next time and cheer up! hey, the same charges are offered here to get access to the internet in cyber cafes. I usually don't go cyber cafe but my PC was out of order and I was in dire need and had no choice. It's too early to put up a question on food but I will dare to. Just a few days ago I had read about the 'Ghost chilli' also known as 'Bhoot Jholakia',it is said to be the hottest chilli in India. Have you tasted that chilli. Naheed

Hi Satya! Oh, I feel sorry for your robot. You are right. Sometimes a small thing like a wire makes the difference. If in one hand you have problems with your robot, in another hand you learned a lot from this experience, and in a near future your project will be a real success :-). Anyway, I´m looking forward to hearing about your adventures in Chennai. See ya, Ana Paula.

Hi Satya. Your robot doesn’t work, that’s a big pity :-(. I gladden that you did not break down from this reason , try further I believe in you. You’ve right, net acces is very expensive in Chennai, 20 bucks for just one hour -too much). I like your posts, so I wait on next:-)...Bye

Hi Satya, what can I say :( I feel sorry for you, I think all of us(readers)expect you having succes but as you say "failures are the stepping stones of success." Hopefully the next event, you don't have any problems.sorry for grammar I´m still learning;) Best Wishes! Rocio

Hi Satya!...I can't belive that your project has failed because of a small wire...What bad luck!, And it is amazing the way you reacted to it, with a great sense of humour! What you have to do now is to enjoy the city and have fun with your partners so that you can tell us interesting stories! Best regards!

Hi Satya, Hope you enjoyed staying Chennai. How other things went in IIT. There are many memorial building next to IIT campus. Gandhi, Rajaji and Kamaraj memorial buildings are there. Now in the same street we have memorial place for Ambedkar. But it is in the opposite direction. You have to go little far away from IIT campus. Better try to go Marina beach before you leave Chennai. You can do better shopping at Hydrabad than Chennai.

Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
