A.D 2003 has gone past us. It was an eventful year... Resignations row, Blaster blast, Humanities hungama, Hotels 12-13 raising their heads, battle of IITs on our newly laid (and well lit!) turf...With so much happening in the present, ever wonder how it was like in the past? LOOooong past. Times of Romans, Gauls. This papyrus parchment of “InsIghTus Romana”, claimed to be over 4000 years old was discovered recently. Things were not too different even then...
DATE: HOW DO WE KNOW? CHRIST IS NOT BORN YET.
Insightus Romana 01 General DOSAsaurus, from Roman camp of eMBeesylum led the charge againstthe indomitable Gauls. Chiefs ACADemix, CULTlix, SPORTShitforsix and HOSTELfix joined hands. Battle dragged until Obelix had enough and threw his largest menhirs he had named “NOPAFus” and “RESIGNus”.
For the first time in recorded human Larsenous and Toubrous, ancient Roman construction history, the “Sky Bridge” goes afloat! giants,dug everywhere they could,building and rebuilding.
A bunch of innocent Gaulish kids went up the hill of HUMANITIuS.
Villagers loved apples, they munched them all day. All doctors had to go away. Suddenly the worms attacked, “Winblasterus worms”, as druid Getafix explained. Overnight apple trees were logged off and coconut trees installed.
Unhygienix needed fishermen for his new fishing boat “Placementia”. Young, smartly dressed young men made queue for interviews. The boat had to face rough weather initially but has been sailing smooth ever since.
One boy slipped and fell dragging everyone. They all made a big splash in the lake REEXAMus!!
Here Obelix finds coconut a tough nut to crack!
Ecstasy jumped over emotions of defeat and pain in the inter village sports meet. Men from distant villages of Delhix, Madrasux, Roorkix, Kanpurox fought valiantly for their honor. Village boys bowled over opponents and had a field day hitting them out of the park!
