Spider - my love

(This post will make sense to you only if you were in NIT Trichy during 2006-07 or know me pretty well)

What is it about Spider that I've been trying to prove? Our supremacy? Intellect? Or plain addiction to work?

I don't really know.. Never thought in these terms when we worked. It was a real morale booster to think about changing the 'image' of the group in the minds of the campus junta, and once that had been done, the next idea to motivate ourselves was 'work harder than anyone else' or to be the 'best'.

But all this was only internal. Only to motivate ourselves. Why we do all this is still not clear to me. Maybe we just love working.. and want to create a breed that loves to work too..

Or maybe its the recognition. When people stop us in the middle of the road and say "Hey! you're in spider right? I saw your photo.. you guys have done awesome work for 1st years!" It feels nice.

No. I don't think any of these are real reasons.

Here it is: I feel immensely satisfied with myself when I go to bed late at night dead tired from working in our lab. I feel that the day was worth it.


I've loved working for Spider and I hope I'll never stop.
