Converse test drive

Just went for a long walk with my new pair of  Converse shoes, seems comfortable enough, though not so much cushioning as available in the Adidas or Nike shoes but it is adequate enough to keep me firm on the ground without hurting my foot every step of the journey.

After a ride in a Mercedes Benz once again, I reached home and wasn't so satisfied with my long walk..

Therefore,

I decide to bring it to an hour long jungle trekking. This involves walking on rough terrain, mud and the occasional small wet streams. During the hike these pair of shoes fail to slip and its grip is "legendary". Got wet in the crossing of one of the small streams and yet the grip stays "legendary". 

Why I mentioned "legendary"? Going down 70° inclined hill with no loss of grip is definitely something for an almost flat soled vintage basket ball shoes.

I did messed up the vulcanized soles a bit, till its a bit yellowish even after washing it, still it's nice for a little bit used and vintage feature. I am totally satisfied with these shoes after this trekking sessions.

A slight pause..

A little life update..
Figure 1: Sparks of steel cutting.
It's been a very long time since I've updated my little blog. Been really busy working, for real, technical and real electrical engineering works. Working really involves really dangerous and hazardous unlike sitting in labs or lectures which involves little or less danger except for extreme stress and boredom. 

My work consists of a mix of all the engineering disciplines which I have learnt throughout my engineering undergrad and I am very fortunate to have at least touched some of the basics of other engineering disciplines such as Civil & Mechanical engineering which allows me to grasp works slightly faster.

Just a little update in my simple job and life as an engineer. As always in every work, safety first.

Go Go Safety First!!!
