This guy is buying vegetables in the market and the vendor says something like "Uncle, le lo na.

I just read up the synopsis of "Inspector General" on wikipedia. That's pretty much the robotics class! Made a mental note to read the original. Thanks.<br /><br />@Rukmani - LOL! I've had an early experience of this kind of thing. We were learning "Wordstar4"! Our instructors were often found playing cricket in the office corridor in the morning.<br /><br />@rads - Even eavesdropping on conversation can be an alarming experience. I have a better understanding of Hungarian poetry than some of the things these "dudes" say to each other! <br />Are you coaching 13 year olds? That's a triple wow for bravery. You must be bungee jumping and going over falls in barrels for entertainment!<br /><br />@Deepak - Well, we fabricated a welding robot for a large company. Toiled for a month, did all the dirty work, ensured parallelism, positioning accuracy, that kind of thing. These guys just showed up one morning, punched in some programs, attached a few servo motors and earned 100X of what we earned for the job. I therefore concluded that <br />1. There is no justice in the world<br />2. If I figure out how to punch in programs and attach a few motors, i could earn 100X myself.<br />3. Which means I can finally afford to buy the i-phone.<br /><br />@Another Kiran - I had one glorious moment when the discussion turned to metals and I was the only guy who knew the densities of aluminum, steel, brass, copper and bronze, there ultimate tensile strengths, melting temperatures and many other fascinating details. Unfortunately, several of them dozed off as I was regaling them with all this. Kids!
