11:29 AM , I have completed the three Monitors i had to complete . Actually I had already done it yesterday but the implementation logic was in the Client side code. Since we wanted to make the client as dumb as possible, I decided to move the complete logic to the server (service side). Now all client has to do is to register the specific receiver (Movement Monitor, ROM Monitor or Travel Monitor) and he can start receiving the compiled results :) pretty neat right ? :) 11:33 AM , Listening to song " Main tenu samjhawan ki , by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan ".

Third Session - KESC Power Station Trip

Image
Update: I found this group picture we took :) I reached Millenium Mall at about 7.30 am today because we had to reach TCF School at 8.30 am. After about 5 - 10 minutes Aamir bhai came to pick me up. We were the first to reach school. I met my group students and others. And yah I bought some juices, chips and water bottles too for the trip . Salman bhai's car also came after some time. But the car of Baba jee :) was very late and came at about 9.15 am. He had some issues finding the TCF School . Then we went to KESC Power station at Port Qasim following that Baba jee's car because no one knew the exact location of the plant. After reaching the Power plant , we were all taken to the KESC library. We were offered cold drinks (;) as usual I took the white one) and were given a brief history of the plant. The TCF students were given a print out to read about how the electricity is made. Then one of the KESC personnel talked to students and explained about the KESC Powerplant and the

Aamir bhai, who is also a volunteer there was waiting for me. He was asked by the TCF management to carpool some volunteers so that they could save some TCF resources. After the initial discussion about the topic to discuss with the students, I and my co mentor Salman went to meet them. Aaj ka Topic tha "Soach se Takdeer tak ... ". We also went with the students for a little community visit nearby Jam Kando Goth:) . I was so happy with the trip. The students were also very happy so see us.
