Record !!!!!!!!!
And then the ‘D’ day arrived ..it was 8th March 2008 the day when the entire college was decorated with posters and paintings.. all 135 of us were present in college at 7.30 in the morning .. we were given our T-Shirts and numbers ..as soon as we got that .. we started placing the paper roll on the supports which were specially built for the event. Just minutes before we begun.. we had a group meet and were told about the plan for that day on the other hand the media persons and photographers took their positions ... After the meeting we took are positions. The clock struck 11 and we started.....
The initial 1.5 hours was to be utilized for sketching and numbering the blocks ..... in the scorching 12 o’clock heat we had started sketching.. our seniors kept on motivating us and do did our college friends and colleagues.... the photographers and cameramen were busy clicking photographs .. everyone was getting curious as to who’s photo would come in which paper... last 10 mins and we were busy numbering the blocks ..and finally time was up.. we had successfully completed the sketching and numbering .. we were pretty happy and just prayed to God that the painting is also completed in time. We given a break while the supervisors and organizers scrutinized the painting. I was busy chatting with my group members. The organizers had arranged for lemon juice and some light eatables. As time passed we regained our energy and were all set to go again..
We took our positions and started painting. This time we had to be careful and alert with colours with which we were painting. One small mistake could up the entire 2000ft long painting. I took was focussed and made sure that there is no mistake. It was 5 o’clock and we were almost 70% done. My group had finished our part of the painting and we were busy helping others. It was 6.30 and we were nearing finish the media had now started video shooting and interviewing our faculty .. the college students had gathered to see their friends who had toiled hard for the entire day... The clock struck 7.15 and the organizers declared the painting complete. ... as soon as they announced this all 135 of us were overjoyed and started dancing.. each and every one of us was happy and overjoyed by the fact that our 8 months of hard work and had finally borne fruit.. there were tears of joy in everyone’s eyes.. for me it was like being on the top of the world .. It was my first year in COEP and what a start it had been .. That day was one of the most memorable days of my life .. All of us had seen a dream and that day it had come true.. we had made the entire college proud ..
After celebrating the success of completing the painting we started measuring the painting .. It was almost 11.00p.m and everyone including our Director and the Supervisors were present ..it took almost 45 mins and finally we measured the last foot of the painting . And believe it or not wee has painted 1968 ft in just 7hrs!!.. this was a NEW WORLD RECORD..we jumped up into the air and screamed “ 3 cheers for ELAN Hip Hip Hurray...Hip Hip Hurray..Hip Hip Hurray!!
Finally 8 months after this new world record was officially registered by Guiness and each of us got a certificate issued by Guiness . One of the biggest achievements to date.... and will be written in Golden letters that
“ 135 students of College of Engineering, Pune created the Guiness World Record for the longest painting in the world by numbers”
