Arena 1:
A huge room with three rows of computers. A CD pouch rests on one of the tables. It holds three CDs. One of the CDs is inserted into the CD ROM Drive and the system starts booting from the CD. A glance beyond the tables reveals switches to two airconditioners to kill the heat generated. The windows are shut and the ACs are switched on only for three people. These 3 people occupy seats in random and start working from the Live CDs. The three computers are connected in the local network and the proxy server, to obtain internet access is setup. A minimised browser reveals four tabs in each of the computers, Cricinfo, Orkut, Gmail and last but not the least, Google ( safety measures :D ). Two terminals stay minimised in the system tray. Some general conversation is always on between the three guys. The term "General" has a lot of meaning as it covers almost every topic. Watches are glimpsed at once in five minutes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waiting for it to just cross 12 : 30. At this point, the ACs are switched off, room is locked, keys returned to where it came from. These three guys are out for a short time and get back to the same place in an hour`s time. Read from the beginning until the dashed line to know what is done on returning to the room.
Arena 2:
Roaring engines penetrate into the ears deeper than ear buds could. The three guys start out on their vehicles for lunch. Turns are taken to sponsor the lunch on each day. A lot of people from the same college as the three are seen having lunch. There is a lot of rush at the counter. Lunch can range from heavy meals to ordinary cakes. Eating continues as if the three guys have never done it before. On giving a glimpse at the time, the three guys portray sad faces as lunch gets over very quickly. To spend some more time timepassing, the three guys start roaming around in their vehicles. When there is a feeling that an air conditioned room is better than the staying outside, the three guys get back to Arena 1.
Arena 3:
When enough of timepass has been done for the day, the three guys drive as fast as possible n reach home.
This is what it takes to do a project at IIT Madras...:)

Lol, This seems the common symptom.One more point, You got to show wrong addresses to ppl though you don't know and don't belong to the place.You feel you have a headache and have to rush home when its just a slight twist of the muscle.The helplessness when your prof( who enters the room only once in a blue moon) sees you on gmail :) .Please remove the word verification, lazy ppl also do sometimes feel like commenting.
@lavanya.. welcome on board.. :) our prof is even better.. You start explaining that you arent well, he is like "No justifications pl.. its your work , your wish ".. :P
