Thats precisely was lesson number one of 3 idiots. To avoid things from getting suicidal, make your start prudently.
The project saga formally started at the beginning of 7th semester with the notice board asking you to form groups and submitting the names to the Departmental coordinator.Yours truly is truly spoilt for choices between two groups, each containing a madly in love couple. Now ,since I'm allergic to prawn, PDA and mush, it was quite obvious choose the group with long standing couple applying the radioactivity principle.
Now, when I say you need to make a prudent start, I refer to the choice of project. This stage is quite vulnerable because you either keep dreaming of seeing your name in the newspaper for executing an awesome project or a big F in your gradecard.
So, after a few brainstorming sessions with the project mentor, rejecting a dozen idea, the group settled for an apparently doable idea.
And thus begins the real ordeal.
From a dozen metro rides to Chandnichowk to buy components to persuading group members to come and work. From getting nightmares to having dreams of the project working full fledgedly.From making sorry faces to shopkeepers to give bills of items we never bought to assuring the mentor that we are gonna finish in time.From living in fear that the circuit will not work once the power supply is given to jumping in ecstacy once it has worked. From giving gaalis to group members to shaking hands with them the next day.From roaming around lanes and bylanes of Chandni in search of a single chip to discovering a Coffee house with awesome waiter and amazing cold coffee.
And then there were these to deal with in moments of distress :P

The project was finally done- complete and working :) The project report was hopefully the best in the department , thanks to the Cornell Univ portal :)
And we were a happy group , sans the gaalis and bitching.

i was scared pehle i wont understand a shit since i never understand anything whenever my fellow eng. bloggers write anything related to engineering :(
but i actually lol'ed proper loud reading this...
i didnt understand what the project was about..*shy is coming*
but what the hell is a vero board?
See, in the snap, can you see a brown board on which small things are there as if pasted?
Vero board is like that only.
And I havent written much actually about our project, i.e the technical part, so don't you worry!
nice :)
winner group you always were :)
aah! the muchhad waiter ;)
hey blogspot opened in Opera :D
Cornell rocks :D
It seems the greatest discovery during project was the coffee house!
Yeah cornell rocks :D

jawed bhai rocks anyway ..mention or no mention !
I am one of the 678453290123 Engineers in our country. AAnd am proud to know today, what a vero board is after two years of workin in core company... thanks dearie :)good read..
I was not in Electronics ( I assume this Vero Board wala funda is from that stream only) and I thank the guy who snatched that opportunity from me... The best thing about Computers as a stream is that you do most of the things in mind and then even if you do not have any realistic to show... you have the virtual world to help you out ... I and most of my friends made huge programs showing fancy stuffs and that was it... the project was over... as far as group is concerned... I got a group with no couples... things were not that complicated... :)... Good write up gal... :)
@preeti
feeling happy after dispersing cartloads of knowledge!
