my first ever project!!!

It was year 2000, i was doing my seventh std when i had to do a project for the first time...and it had to be a working model!!!
Our SUPW (socially useful project work) teacher told us, one fine day, about the project, which was supposed to be a working one. We were given two weeks of time, i was damn cool and two days before we had to submit it, we were reminded of it once again by our sir. As a sincere guy i forgot it once i went home and sat before the tv to watch a cricket match.
The following day, we had one library period where i got engrossed in a book which had a good number of science experiments for children, an experiment which was to explain the working of a stethoscope caught my attention. Soon after i reached home, i wanted to try that experiment.
It had to be done with a fork, a spoon and a thread. The thread was to be wound around the holding end of fork, then the two ends of the thread had to be placed in the ears. The fork has to be hit with the spoon slightly, then the working of stethoscope can be felt.
WOW!!! so nice. I explained about this intriguing one to my parents. As parents, they appreciated me and then i went out for playing, came back, and had a good dinner. After dinner we used to watch some weekly programmes in DD metro (is it still there?!!) at home. Then the clock struck ten which was my bed time.
It was a nice bright morning at 7, when i was woken up by my mom. Suddenly something dragged my mind, "GOD, my project!"
"if i tell mom now, she can't help me!" i thought.
then this thought came as a flash in my mind, "how about the stethoscope thing?!!"
Then got ready to go to school.
" amma, i want my stethoscope!" i asked.
"oh that spoon and fork thing...ok...but what for??" she asked
I had to tell her about the project (worrrrrking model...lols!!)
"Is it enough for your project??" she doubted.
"I'll manage ma...come on, bring that"
Went to school.
Some fifteen people out of 43 brought theirs. Then came the SUPW period!!
Sir took us to the ground thinkng people had brought theirs promptly.
He used to hit the guys a lot. It was fun for him:))))))
When the names were being called, my name, roll no. 27 was called.
i went with my project (lols), wrapped up in a tiny polyethene bag.

" Enna boy...where's your praajectu??" he enquired
I got a bit scared now. He made some 19 or 20 people stand aside (for hitting them)
"will it become a big comedy??!!" i had a doubt
"sir here it is !" with a smile
"wopen it" he ordered
I took the fork, wound it with a thread and went near him.
"sir...plug it into your ears" i told
"enna pa...enna ithu" he couldn't get what i was doing to him.
Then i struck the fork with the spoon slightly.
He stared at me. Then i struck the fork for the second time (a bit harder!!!!)
" engae ya antha mara kela??" he instructed a guy to pluck a branch from a tree.
"sir...how's it??
this is how a stethoscope works!! working model sir" i knew what was about to happen after the guy brings the tree branch.
"dai...unna working model panna sonna...yetho oru spoon la kayira kattu kaatha puncture aakuriya?? he asked me as he moved nearer to hit me.
"sir...something is better than nothing" i told him slowly...
"but nothing is better thaan naansense" he gave a reply and started chasing me when i started running.

He was a very nice man...he left me just like that!!
Got transferred three months after that, but, he remembered me when i saw him in 2006(more than five years after he got transferred) in my college. Sir felt happy when he heard i was doing machanical engg...
But I don't know if he still remembers my First project!!!
Happy old school memories :-)
