Four friends, a week after their CET exam, were off to a vacation. It was surely party time. This vacation was long due coz each one of them was quite pissed off with the hectic schedule and the exam pressure and all, and everyone needed a break.
Friends together is always fun, great enjoyment, good bonding and celebration. Coming back from the vacation, they thought that they would be quite busy, hardly find any time to meet, due to being in different colleges. But one of them had a different idea. He said “Guys, I have got a brilliant offer. One of the profs of my college wants me to make college website for the junior college. He’s gonna pay decent money. So why not do it together. By that we’ll have some more time together. Have more enjoyment.”
Firstly his friends didn’t quite enjoy the thought of working after the enjoyment filled vacation. And even if they did become ready for accepting the task, it came with a deadline. 10 days, that’s it. Most importantly, none of them had any great knowledge bout website making. But sometimes when people are young, they just like to accept challenges, trying to brave every situation. That’s what you call young blood. They took up the task.
Now where to start and how to start was the question. All that these guys knew about websites was HTML tags which they had mugged up for the sole purpose of clearing the 12th exam. Initial 2-3 days were about experimenting i.e. trying out different things, viewing source code of famous web-sites. These codes were too complex for the guys to understand. They had to start from crap.
One of them knew of a software called “dreamweaver” which simplifies the task of making websites. But none knew how to use it!! They got some video tutorials from net and started learning things. Now most of the things were clear. One had to do work of Database, other had to work on content, third one had to look for layout and design and html coding, the forth had to make photoshop images for background, layout etc.
Finally, they had well defined their tasks, and worked really hard to learn more each day. Each passing day meant deadline getting closer. But the good thing was that site was ready 2 days before the deadling. And infact it was liked by the college so much that they gave more money than that being decided.
And for all those who had the patience of reading till now, one of them was me, and the others were Nikhil—the database guy, Omkar—The photoshop guy and Vijay- the content guy. We still have the money with us. It just reminds us of those days wherein we worked together for a purpose, for a common goal. And what happened to the website. That's an interesting thing!!! The website was on internet for 1 year. Then was removed coz college did not pay money to continue the web-server. Probably because of management changes or factors which i really dont care. I still love making web-sites and have done quite a few.
Just want to say that nothing’s impossible. You got to Dream!!!
You got to Dream big!!!
You got to work hard for your dream!!!
You got to make it come true!!!
