How to get a reco letter (the thrill way)

Follow the steps given below to make your life exciting :

1. Let your profs have shifted to a new building so that apart from sanitary and other basic functionalities, the building might as well host a 'under construction' board than the department board (key point to be noted : no internet connectivity for our papachi, dear profs)

2. Let the profs be reluctant to check their emails, by going to old building... (there is almost no concept of Internet connection at home, it seems)

Points one and two above satisfactorily require you to go for the hon. paper based recommendations...

At this point proceed to steps given below :

1. Get a viral fever
2. Have events at work which prevent you from attending to this all important matter at the earliest (atleast this is the official reason)
3. Pick "lab examination week" to get recos done, so that lecturers are away on external duty or are busy in ur own college lab
4. Schedule appointment with lecturer on Saturday so that it co-incides with another "function" of the family, for which ur dad has demanded you to set aside one or one and a half hours.
5. Let there be no college letter heads available in the department...its a saturday and department incharge guy is on leave
6. Let system in department where you are supposed to take printouts, be having no printer driver because of recent BIOS update

Something like whats given below might spoil ur experience...so beware
7. Lady in department might know where driver for printer cd is...She might still not know how to install it so we're back on track (hurray!)

8. Install printer and wait for letter heads to arrive...Let it not arrive until its absolutely time for u to leave for family function...Promise lady in department u will arrive "in time" to collect printouts

9. Do not arrive in time...Arrive to find department locked...
10. Mysteriously locate attender and get department door unlocked...Get printouts on new letter heads and await lecturer to arrive.
11. Allow lecturer to talk on phone while filling up recommendation forms...Allow lecturer to sign in place where you should sign...

12. Keep a smile on your face :)

Krishna, you were so wrong lo....Nothing usually happens like this to me nodu...Its all smooth sailin! Why you would want to go and say something like, "there has to be something wrong with /about you all the time" is beyond me...
