Ever since people in my coll hav been bitten by this ever advanced n lucrativ yet so unappealing wi-fi bug a msg is a common scenario on computer screens for most number of times.....the msg proudly says TRY AGAIN.....though the effort dat may come in to clicking d button of the mouse on dis revered tab may not be calories-consuming but yeah takes a hell lot of patience out of me waitin for my desired web page to finally opening in...Even dis blogspot site took 600 long seconds to open n nearly tested my long withstandin patience....
I was wondering how dis mysterious word would havr made its way from research labs to d computer screens of v tech savvy ppl....however i still hav vivid pictures of the hindi version of 'try again' on age old doordarshan programs...though i was a kid then barely understandin the plight ppl might hav to undergo seein this msg on screen...with my age d occurance of this mgs coming n making a slam on my life became more common.....i still remember d 1999 world cup which was promoted widely by its sponsors......being a ardent n obvoius fan in a cricket crazy nation i kept a track of all the events leadin to the world cup.....A major sponsor of the world cup den launched a scheme then which offfered ppl a chance to make their way to england for the world cup( ya...!! ur rite...all expenses paid...)..one was supposed to collect certain amount of the product wrappers n exchange it with a scratch card wich wud ultimately decide ur million dollar or penniless fortune.....m a big optimist..no matter how low d probablity of my successes r , i stand by it....however as the odds mights hav turned out i was welcomed by a msg saying 'TRY AGAIN"....though all my dreams shattered but dat was my 1st genuine rendezvous wid this ultra popular n money-mobilizing slogan for all d commercial vendors( i prefer calling these callous industries 'vendors'....it suits d best)....
Ever since i have encountered this phrase a no. of times.....right from web pages to the results of certain entrance exams....though some exams r quite apologetic n do feel n say sorry for ur failure but s msg sayin try again feels a hard slap on one's face makin spoof of all the efforts dat may have been laid in preparing for the exams....i have suffered it quite a no of times....most of the times i felt sorry for my computer which time n again displayed the msg sayin 'sorry u could'nt make it'....
But offlate in college TRY AGAIN or RE-DO( a shorter,harsher n simpler version) has been pretty common occurance....recollecting all such happenings n writin it down may be a bit difficult as m very sure by then my sleep would also welcome with a statement sayin 'try again' wen i get to bed....so here's in short...
The most credited subject of b.tech curriculam is the final yr project....i ( i mean v) have been very sincere wid our project leavin no stones unturned at every step....ever since we acknowledged d fact that our project would take a lot out of us we decided to be ultra careful...hard work has been our prority n v had been workin in labs for almost 5-6 hours a day...n 6 days a week....however fate had some tryin things stored in for us when a culture which v prepared after a week long work was declared contaminated by our project guide....it felt like shit wen ur hard work is thrown off the records....that time too the words Try Again kept revolving my mind....i felt a sense of urgency n showed a positive spirit to my sir sayin v'll try again....it was later dat i realised dat i made dat statement just to get relieved to d work v might had to do then....d week starts again tomorro n 'll get to work once again....more dan work the phrase 'TRY AGAIN' 'll be makin rounds in my mind...m not sure wat it really means...is it a statement meant to console others after one's non performance or is it an assurance of perfection in the next attemp....with the way things r goin around us( certainly after being bugged by SASTRA's wi-fi,i mean it only...)...i doubt if it means either of the above......understandin its meaning is certainly at discretion of the readors or we listeners.....!!!
