Stepped on the STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

welcome back to my funny bones

This incident happend when i was in my MSc first year.
At that time I was in love with A*******A and so i used to accompany her in the morning to her college and then i used to go to mine.... and for that i used to set out at 5:00 am in the morning to catch the train to Delhi....
it was december and was cold..... very cold..... also at that time in the morning there used to be no electricity supply and on that it was very foggy that day....
so i started out with a torch in hand......
yet visibility was less that 2 meters....
as i was walking thru the empty road i came across a crossing...... as i turned i saw a small rocky stuff lying ahead of me....... on the road...
it seemed as if it was just a round block of cement that some callous person had left behind on the road..... so i decided to step on it and then cross over...
and its exactly what i did.....
and LO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the block stsrted to BARK at me and ran away.....
everything happened so suddenly that i also started to run in the different direction......
Then i understood that the rocky stuff on which i stepped on was nothing but a DOG......
I just pray that nothing happened to it....
After all i weighed 88 kg at that time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my experiment.....

here i come again......
with my funny bones
it happened around two years back
then i was working at NITRA( north indian textile research association)....  i was developing an ultrasonic fabric cleaning device....
i was experimenting with the ultrasonic device... trying to see the effectiveness of cleaning by sonic waves,...
and then my brain ratteled and i got an idea
me elbow has a spot which has become dark due to accumulation of dirt... and no amount of soap application has done anything...
so i decided to use ultrasonic on it....
so i poured some detergent liquid in water and applied ultrasonic thru it... then i immersed my elbow in it.......
and lo......     



























i opened my eye in hospital......  the ultrasonic shockwaves travelled thru my elbow and to my brain.....  leaving me unconscious...
i couldnt clean my elbow......  but almost got myself cleaned from the face of the earth...

I misled a man..... by mistake

This incident happened when i was in BSc....
that day i was going to my college....Deshbandhu college.....
i was standing at ITO bus stand when a man approached me and asked me which bus goes to KHICRIPUR....
it was his bad day since he was asking me to strain my memory to guide himm....... and as you know my memory is too poor....
yet i knew where it was and i told him to get into the bus that goes to NAJAFGARH and told him to buy a 10RS ticket.... where the bus finally stops he shud get down there and then ask for directions......... coz KHICHRIPUR was there......
atleast i thought so!!!!!!!

and he did so....

i was happy that i helped a man find his way

later that evening i was on my way to ANAND VIHAR in bus number 543..
then i spotted a bus stop en route....
KHICHRIPUR....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

even till day i pray that instead of asking for a 10 Rs ticket the man shud have asked about a ticket to KHICHRIPUR....else he wud have ended up at NAJAFGARH..... a good 50 kms from his original destination......

my clock

I am Back...........

well this incident dates back to my school days....

i have always been a curious person...   always challenged the prevalent ideas and ended up with hilarious results......   this is one such...

my dad got a japanese clock as a gift from the then director of his company....  and it was so cute that i used to keep it with me....always.....  it was perfectly spherical in shape....  and sometimes i used to play with it.....

well  i saw that the clock had a 1.5 v battery which powered it.....   

that day i just had a queer thought ....  if 1.5 volts can move it so slowly.... that is 1 seconds a second.....  then shud it not move faster if i apply 240 volts  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

the rest you can guess....  with the kind of a person i am.......
i used two wires to join the two terminals of the clock with the AC mains.....   

AND BOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  BOOM BOOM......  !!!!!!!!!!!!!

that clock could not be repaired by anyone .... ever......

thats me......

adventure at qutab minar......

here i am.....  back again......   see i keep coming back.... isn't it????

New Year 2008 is just 1 and 1/2 hours from now.....   
so wanted to share an experiance with you all.......  
i learnt a lesson.....  may be u too will....

i have an old camera....   around 12 years old.....   it has a detachable flash.....  and a shutter cap.....   
the best thing about this camera is that....   its flash and the shutter switch are somehow never coordinated......    the flash goes flashing.... atleast a couple of seconds after the shutter has done its job....  so carrying the flash is never a good idea.....   and the camera ...therefore works only in the daytime.....

i had gone to mehrauli with my family that day.....   i was particularly excited....coz i had my camera with me......     and i wanted to take pics of quatab minar and the iron pillar from all angles....

so armed with my camera i went there......   
the moment i entered the complex i started clicking pics......
but unfortunately my camera didnt have a zoom lens.... so i had to walk to the other end of the compound to take a full view of qutab minar......   but it was simply breathtaking.....   i clicked my parent's pics too.....

but the one i wanted to click the most was the pillar...... so i went towards it.....   

trust me the pillar is really awesome......   
i could see some inscriptions on it.....  and i started to click pics......   i took my parent's and brother's pics with the pillar in the back ground.......

and then   The Lightening struck me.....  !!!!!!!!!!

I always thought that i was stupid.....  or may be an idiot or even an ass.......
But i got the first hand proof of it all.......

Guess what!!!!!!!!!!!

I took alll those pics WITH THE SHUTTER CAP STILL AT ITS OWN PLACE !!!!!!!1  THAT IS ON THE SHUTTER !!!!!!!!!!

I learnt my lesson on my forgetfullness........

but what exactly was it.....   i can't seem to remember......   !!!!    

so sorry folks......
keep reading........   
and ya
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008.....

my ingenious ideas..........

this incidence dates back to my college days.....
i was preparing METHYL ORANGE.... a chemical compund.....  in my chemistry lab....
and i was the only one who was able to create it properly....
but it was wet and had water in it....  
so i was told to take it with me to my home and let it dry out....'
but you see i am made up of monkey bones....  and i am damn impatient.....
so i decided to do the stuff quickly.....  
and this is what i did....
STEP 1:    I TOOK A SHEET OF NEWSPAPER AND POURED THE ENTIRE CONTENT .....  THAT IS THE METHYL ORANGE PASTE 
ON IT....

STEP 2:  THEN I TOOK THAT SHEET AND PLACED IT ON THE INVERTER MACHINE......   well i didn't have oven at that time ... (  i still don't have ).....   and so decided to use the heat generated by the inverter machine...  ( WHAT AN INGENIOUS IDEA )....

STEP 3:  THE NEXT DAY THE METHYL ORANGE HAD DRIED .........


I was left with a black powder......which ofcourse was not methyl orange.....

u see my ingenious ideas have always been.....    well.....errrrrr.........ahem.....   quite great........

MY FUNNY IDEAS!!!!

welll    i am back....
this time with an even funnier incidence....
we all have main switches at our homes....  isn't it???   .... or don't u have one?????
the problem was that the fuse wire in the fuse box was so thin that every couple of hours it used to burn out and i had to replace it.....
one day i got so freaked out due to this repeated nuisance that i decided to take care of things once and for all....
and i did it....
i replaced the thin fuse wire with a very thich one..... almost 20  times thicker .....
and LO !!!  it worked......
the fuse wire never burnt again.......









P.S : THE NEXT TIME .....  THE FUSE WIRE DIDN'T BURN.....   INSTEAD THE WHOLE MAIN SWITCH AND THE METER BOX.....   CAUGHT FIRE.....  AND WE HAD TO PAY  A PENALTY OF 5000Rs.... FOR MY GREAT IDEA OF USING A THICK FUSE WIRE......
