Back, but blatantly ostrasized. Initially, that is. Don't know what the college's administration people were thinking when they supposedly banned all those who had been to Malaysia for the Shell Eco Marathon. I am remided of a line from 'A case of exploding mangoes' by Muhammad Hanif. He says, "You can blame our men in uniform for anything, but you can never blame them for being imaginative."
Enough rant already.
Thing is I can not defend the debacle in Malaysia for the sheer number of vehicles bore Pakistan's flag. I am hearing defences from here and there arguing that it was only the first time. Hell it was, but it was also the first time for everyone else. For the Indonesian team that did 237 km/L. For the Japs. The Chinese. Everyone.
Logically I should also put my head down with shame, and disappear somewhere, but that is not going to happen. The thing is also that there can be no substitute for the hands-on learning the SEM experience provided. The thing is that such moments are to serve as lessons. To stimulate us further in pursuit of the greater good.
Ban? Sit back, and live the rest of my engineering degree in peace? *SNORT* you bet!
