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 #1 (Circa 1983): Hello World (IIT)! The alarm clock that I took with me to IIT[M]
Gift from my brother-in-law.
In some cases, the clock did its job. I'd wake up to its loud jangling, which was hard to ignore.
Sometimes, I'd shut it off, and one my wingmates (A-Z) would bang on my door every 5 minutes until I woke up.
Some days, when life was just suspended, I avoided winding it up, so I'd just sleep on!!
I'm not sure it works any more, but I'm afraid to try it - the loud jangle will surely cause me a heart attack!
