On a Hat-Trick at GKM

Friends you all know that symposiums are a means of earning money in college. Some may earn by participating in formal events such as paper presentations,but most of them earn money only through informal events. In our class there is a group "Enna Koduma Saravanan" which has members who have earned about lakhs through symposiums. Now there is a also a small group of three members formed who are winning at random in symposiums in informal events. The group consists of me ,Arul Prakash and Ciberaj. Yesterday we went to GKM for the second time for a EEE symposium. The main thing here is we are CSE students. There 4 events were about to be held. Paper presentation, Play with wires, Dumb-C and Technical Quiz(EEE). We participated in 3 events where firstly Paper went a flop. Secondly Quiz(EEE) prelims we got through because of the technical brilliance of Ciberaj,me and arul did not contribute anything. It was absolutely one man show. Then in Dumb C because of some good miming from my side and Arul's tremendous guessing we went through Dumb C also to finals. Now at the same time both Dumb c and quiz finals were clashing so we all thought that we would opt for Dumb c rather than quiz since it was a EEE quiz. But fate which later turned out to be a luck played with us as we were seated in quiz finals. First round was rapid fire i just answered for the four questions as for 1-d ,2-c ,3-b, 4- a out of which 3 were correct. we were the leader in the first round. I can't control my laughter. Then second round is identifying characteristics round here was the most hilarious moment.The question was to find out the characteristics of a Diffrentially Compounded Generator and four graphs were given as choices i thought for a moment and answered choice "b". The answer was correct!!!!!! but the way i chose b was from the words Diffrentially Compounded Generator there are 3 words so 3-1=2 and the second is "b" so only. i can't control my laughter that we were the leaders in second round. Third round we played a strategy it was a round where negative marking was employed. So we safeguarded our lucky points by passing all 10 questions asked to us. At last we finished Second in quiz.

In Dumb C there was only one astonishing moment which was the pictorial round (ie) Cibe and Arul has to describe a picture which is something related to EEE only by using mathematical symbols. I have to draw according to their description and identify the picture. They said the description correctly and i also finished the drawing successfull, but the thing was to identify. I thought of leaving the ques but suddenly something flashed in my mind as this was the diagram that Sudarshan sir used to draw in EE/CS period. And i guessed it as motor. It was correct!!!! Cibe started dancing and hopping as they did not expect this answer from me. Even i too did not expect. So all unexpected miracles happened yesterday as we went home each with 400 rupees while we came with only 20 rupees in hand. The same was repeated when we came for the first time to GKM that time the lucky charm was Cibe.

As this being our final year we wont be able to go for the third time to GKM college. Therefore the Hat-Trick remains On a Hat-Trick. Anyway i hope there will be more these like emerging lucky trios in future.
