Hey Everyone,
I hope you are enjoying good health. If not start working on it, Health is wealth. And I wouldn't want you guys to be sick.
Anyway, I decided to take the story a little bit closer to the end. Hope you like it.

After spending almost an hr combing through the market we gathered 80% of our project-related items. The motor to run the conveyor belt we couldn’t afford. Since the market was near my friend's house we all decided that it was better to assemble the project there. The sun was going down, we hardly had 16hrs to submit the project.
It was evening. 1700Hrs. There was a rule in the house we were to be home before 1800Hrs. And all I was left with is 1hr. Now my fight is against time. We all scrambled and started working on the pieces to put in a presentable way. The box Cutting is done. The painting is done. Now all that is left is to place them on the 4x6 piece of cardboard. And need to connect with the red-colored zero-watt bulb to create the furnace effect. Perfect. The only thing that was missing is Conveyor Belt. The project would have been a lot better if there was at least one moving piece in the entire setup. Everything was stationary. It was like something a group of school kids would put in the last hr.
We were ready to pack and go home, and that's when my friend had a brilliant idea that could save us from embarrassment. He had an old tape recorder with a functioning motor that can be used for the conveyor belt. Without a second thought, we start dismantling the project so that we can install the conveyor belt. But first, we need to get the motor from the tape recorder. Not sure what was election process but I was elected to open the tape recorder and disconnect the motor. The options were to smash the recorder and risk damaging the motor or to unscrew the tape recorder using a tester or screwdriver. My friend went to his home which is nearby to get the screwdriver and the rest of us were busy cutting my friend's elder sister's dupatta into ribbons to act as belt. No bothering about the consequences for we were at war.
Finally, my friend returned with the screwdriver. Flathead Screwdriver, Number 7. Best for installing electric sockets and opening large appliances. Not suitable for Star screws. Still, I stepped up for the job and did what needed to be done. I Jammed the screwdriver into the small gap and slowly started to drive the screwdriver in so that I can open the cover and get to the motor. Slowly to avoid any damage to the component I work with. Inch by inch I covered the entire casing of the Tape recorder. I finally was able to pull the back cover apart. And the fruit of my labor was inside that tape recorder. I removed the Circuit board, cut the cords, and handed the motor to my friend. While closing the casing. I heard the humming sound of the motor. It was spinning and so was the conveyor belt. Finally some good news. We jumped with joy.

That’s when I saw the time on the wall clock. 2045Hrs.
I was 10KMs away from home. The last bus will leave by 2100Hrs after the Island, says good night, and sleeps till sunrise. No Transportation Pvt or govt.

I wasn't late by 3hrs. I was Missing.

TO BE CONTINUED.

This is inuke.
And big thanks to Indiaunited and BeAwesome community for their love and continuous support.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is that it is a fun place to escape to. Here's hoping to finish the story in the next episode.

It actually did and the reality was even weirder than this version.
Would you believe if I told you that we skipped school on Day 5 to complete the project. And since we were skipping school it was covert ops and we were not to be seen in public or home. So to hide we bought tickets to Zoo. Andaman Zoo had very few visitors and lot of space in gardern to work. After wasting a good 3 hour teasing the monkeys and waiting for the Crocodiles to move. We started our work.
I was the poster child for a menace and nuisance back those days.

What happened tot that person? ;<)

P.S. Can't say the same about me, I've always been quite sweet and obedient, only turned rebel - as in stubborn creative fighting for freedom - at a way later age.

Have some !PIZZA

Haha!! You can say that I learned from my mistakes and now I at least bother to go through the plan once a day. Thats my official life.
My personal life still lacks discipline. :)
Need to order a better chair and a table for myself. Lying on bed and trying to write is just too much Zzzzzzzzzz......

Gah I had to set a freaking schedule. I hate schedules, I really don't work well with them >_< but it was the only way I had a prayer of squeezing in all the nonsense that I do ;-;

And then trying to get my youngest to think about it and he's all "I hate schedules" and I'm like I KNOW SO DO I but he'll figure it out in his own time.

I actually seriously considered lying in bed with my laptop and writing so that I would actually go to sleep but that doesn't work either XD

I'm generally bad at sleeping
