Preface: During Graduate School, Object Oriented Programming had a very specific meaning. Now I'm more "meta", and stuck in a different time-warp for the next few weeks in Bangalore with time to ponder. I now see objects around me that had very specific meaning to me in an earlier life.
While in this time-warp, I'll post some of these interesting objects.
Object #2 (Circa 1963): The Table Fan that Rallis!

| Rallis Table Fan - Older than yours truly!! Still works perfectly! |
Note: In the above photos, note how the image on the right is blurred due to excessive speed :-)
This fan was purchased in 1963, before I was even born. Bangalore, until then a non-fan-station, had just started warming up during the summers.
My dog Pixie knocked it down, and the fan was out for about 2 years, with a bent frame. Not to be outdone, my dad got the frame and blades fixed, and the fan repainted.
My mother uses the fan everyday since it is so convenient!
Now - it keeps the mosquitoes off my legs as I watch Champions League matches.
