Oh Yes, I played Bridge and Three Cards aka Flush every Saturday Night at IITM and the winner treated every one to brunch at Runs Hotel at the entrance gate and we stuffed ourselves on Egg Paratha & Murthabas
Teen patti (तीन पत्ती, meaning 'three cards' in English) is a gambling card game that originated in the Indian subcontinent and is popular throughout South Asia. It originated in the English game of three-card brag, with influences from poker. It is also called flush or flash in some areas.
 Using a glass sheet lit from under was known as "TOPO" ing very common at IIT Madras too. |
I was still at a Loss as to what was being celebrated in India as Engineers Day until I received the following  So who was this Man ? |
Oh he is a Bharat Ratna Too
Finest Engineer in the Country -- OK
So What is his story ?

Wow, Now I can Relate to that in many ways but will tell you later
🚘🎢🏭🗼🎡⛽
Two minutes silence for all those who learnt:-
• 2nd order differential equations,
• Fourier & Laplace transforms,
• Solid-state physics,
• Strength of materials,
• Electromagnetism,
• Digital signal processing,
• Circuit design,
• Microproccesors etc. and
wanting to change the world but now are
• earning salaries for making ppt, excel sheets and emails 😂
To B.E. or not to B.E. is not the question...
What after B.E. is the real question
😜😅

Happy Engineers day 15th Sept'21`
The Engineer in Hell!
An Engineer dies but lands in Hell.
He’s talking with Satan & says, “What a terrible place! It’s very hot, dark, smoky”
Satan says, “Well, what did you expect? this IS Hell!”
The engineer says “Do you have a compressor, some tubing, and wire?
Satan says, “Yeah, we might have some of that stuff around, I’ll check and see what I can find for you.”
Satan finds the stuff & the engineer starts designing improvements. After a while, Hell has air conditioning, iced water, good lighting, flush toilets & escalators. The engineer is a pretty popular!
One day God calls and tells Satan, “Say, we had a mix-up. I was checking records & discovered that by error an engineer got sent down to you. He should have come to Heaven. All engineers go to Heaven. You need to transfer him up here.”
Satan says, "Why, things are going great. We've now got air conditioning, iced water, flush toilets, great lighting, and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next. We like him! We’re going to keep him.”
God is horrified. "That's clearly a mistake! He should never have gone down there in the first place! Send him up here immediately!"
Satan says, "No way! I really like having an engineer on the staff. I'm keeping him.”
God says, “Send him back up here or I'll sue you!”
Satan laughs, “Yeah, right, Good luck on that. Where are you going to find a lawyer?!"
Wishing you a Happy Engineers day

A few examples of what engineers do:-
Now I have left the best for the last

I fully agree with what she has expressed so well
Now My Story:
My Father wanted a Family of doctors, I wanted to be an Electronics Engineer, but my Dad put his foot down and said Building Engineering and so I became a reluctant Civil Engineer.
My Final Year Elective was Hydraulics under the Guidance of Prof Rouve and Prof Rama Rao. In our days we used Clarks tables, calculators were not allowed and there was no main frame computer at IIT Madras but Guindy College had one.
My four Project mates and I wrote a Fortran Program using the Old Punch Card system for calculation the Stress on a Concrete Dam Profile for various water levels, ran the program on the Computer at Guindy College. I was offered admission to do PhD by Research at Guindy College of Engineering.
So I was a Damn Engineer (excuse the Pun).
Then I became a Highways Engineer and was Junior Engineer for Pamban Bridge across the rough seas connecting Rameswaram Island to mainland India.
Yes I too fell asleep on the train trips from Rameswaram to Ramnad District where I boarded an express bus to Madras City.
Fortunately I did not hear any cracked railway lines but was attracted to Noise and Vibration and Became an Acoustics and Noise Control Engineer and my Note worthy Project was Design Manufacture Supply and Commissioning of Noise Control Equipment for THE SYDNEY HARBOUR TUNNEL.
Sydney Harbour Under Water Tunnel
I fled India as I was not going to be part of Highway Robbery in a Highly Corrupt State Highways Department where my bosses were leeches forcing me to create bogus bills and I told them No way.
Over my Dead Body I said and they said OK and tried to have me killed and dumped in the Pamban sea.
I am the One who Got away but unfortunately Satyendra Dubey an IIT Kgp Engineer reported corruption in National Highways to PMs office and was shot dead by corrupt bosses and contractors as he walked out of the Railway station
