Bad Days

These are bad days :-(

Not because we won't be able to get Kaar rolling on time, because we WILL get Kaar rolling in less than a week...

These are bad days because for us, efficiency seems to be taking a back-seat to expediency. The engineering aspect of the project seems to be spiraling into one of getting the job done. The need to show our sponsors that we 'got on track' seems to be taking center-stage.

Don't take me wrong...all of this SEEMS to be happening. It may seem that what seems now may not actually materialize. Whatever.

But one really big problem with our participation is that of benchmarks. Sadly, the best our predecessors could do was to 'get the car on-track'. That isn't saying much when you have 30 teams participating from Pakistan, but that is all there is to say. Obviously, we could have had an international benchmark of hundred or thousands of kilometers per liter but with us still in a technologically embryonic stage, that all becomes relevant...in a ten fifteen years?
