What did the Black Cats do on Republic day?

Meow!!

So what were the black cats really up to on Republic day? Good question (will blog something about this phrase some other time .. an incident that kept me running all over the office). However, this is not about the Black Cats that guard the high and mighty and are entrusted with the security of the nation. I have a lot of respect for them, and my respect knows no words.

The black cats I'm writing about are LIBA's very own Black Cats, who were a part of outbound@dawn - the outdoor equivalent of Samanvay '09 at IIT Madras. To all those pigeon-holed chipmunks who chose to sleep safe in their burrows .. here is a sneek peek on what you guys didnt deserve to be a part of :)

There were 9 teams of about 8 - 10 members each and all the members of every team had to participate in all the 9 physically enduring games: Tunneling, Cross Country, Lake Rafting, Monkey Crawling (rope hanging and reverse locomotion), "A" Frame, Trust Fall, Snake Rings, Caterpillar Walk and Burma Bridge (rope).

Enough of words ..

the Black cats (minus one cat)

And I still don’t believe that man came from monkeys :) Jus kidding! .. A class act by Christo

Who else? but good ol' Sayuj .. fastest team member in that event.

Treasure(less) hunt ..

Wassup Boni?

Where's Burma? Tell me, quick!

Cost of capital (participation): Cuts in the palm and a handkerchief that dived into the water while I was crossing the burma bridge.

Sincere thanks to the IIT-DOMS folks (Dept. of Management Studies IIT-Madras) for organising Outbound@Dawn and Prof. LSG (the last letter is 'g' not 'd'..) for his kind personal invitation. Thank you once again, Sir. Way to go!

Meow!!
