Alas, Triumph!!!
My hostel, or Hall Of Residence as our university director might want us to call it has 6 wings(and 2 other seprate ones semi-finished). the six wings are shaped in the form of a cross knot. how can i describe it. assume a square of side length 'a units'. now, elongate from any one corner of the square the two sides intersecting on that corner another 'a units'. thats the shape of the Men`s Hall of Residence. the elongated sides are wings E and F and the other 4 sides of the square form wings A, B, C and D resp. and im a resident of wing C. C-105 to be precise. k, now lets get to the point. to save electricity and a loyt of money the college had installed solar pannels for hot water. but ever since they were installed our wing never got a drop of hot water. infact i think it would be more cold then normal. winters were spent without having a bath or a shave. twas the same story for 2 seasons now. this time i was determined to bathe atleast every alternate day. hence, i did some research. after persistent questioning to a credible sample of students from all the wings and frequent testing throughout the day, i knew it all. hot water was available in 3 shifts at different places and at different times. for the morning it was wing F b/w 7:45 am and 8:30 am. then in the afternoon twas wing A at about 2pm. and the last shift was at about 8 pm in wing B. so i was at it. managing to bathe atleast once in a couple of days faring frm wing to wing with a bucket and a towel, sometimes even risking the girls having a look at me in my towel(although that never happened, but then, i did take the risk). but today was different. after a whole night of having to deal with dirty html code that developers write without any sympathies for the parsers that have to deal with them, and the GooGle APIs that make them look so much as NOogle APIs my wing tasted hot water. and so did thy body. it felt so good to bathe in my own wing. the water was so free flowing and hot twas, it removed all the stress n strain frm my body. finally god had mercy on me. atlast i triumph!!!
