What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Boomerang”? A wild looking native wielding a funny shaped wooden flying tool? Well even if the answer is yes or no, we can expect some quite civilized looking people for the workshop on Boomerangs that is slated to be held this week at Rajagiri during Abhiyanthriki 10. Aerotrix a group formed by ex-alumni of IIT Kanpur will be holding an exciting class on Boomerangs on the 17th of September at Rajagiri Grounds. In this age of technology, silicon and what not, it will be fun to go back to the basics and get some hands-on experience with Boomerangs.

During the workshop expect to understand the theory or more precisely the physics of Boomerangs. Oh yes, it does not merely constitute throwing it randomly at some direction. It requires finesse and skill. You will also be given kits from which you can fashion out your own personal Boomerang! And of course to try your baby out, will require some trials. Its no child’s play to throw and catch a Boomerang.

Cambridge Online Dictionary defines paintball as,
paintball noun
/ˈpeɪnt.bɔːl/US pronunciation symbol/-bɑːl/ n [U]

Urban Dictionary defines it as,
1. Paintball
one of the best sports ever made.
Paintball rules all .

I would say the latter is a more aptly defined expression! Paintball one of the few marveled sports that has been so rarely experienced by Malayalis; Correction, never have experienced. Before you start on me, I didn’t include the guys who live abroad,I am talking about us resident malayalis. I should maybe be more specific, paintball is a sport that has yet to grace God’s own Country. Well not for long. TechKshetra the tech fest hosted by Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology is bringing Paintball as one of the prime events to Kochi and Kerala.

Now these are the basics of paintball. There are two opposing teams, they are armed with paintball markers ( a paintball gun!! ). These are loaded with pellets containing the paintballs. Now the aim is to eliminate members of the opposing side by ‘marking’ them with your markers. Wham! One hit and they are out. Generally this is played in an environment with artificial elements for cover, strategic positioning, etc. It can be indoors or outdoors. The more elaborate ones are held in forests to simulate a ‘battle field’ effect. Rules generally vary from capture the flag, elimination, scouting out an area successfully, defending an area. Military styled ones have rescue missions, ambushes, etc. Most terminologies and methodologies are based on military and gaming styles.

So if you want to experience the thrill of shooting up someone with paintballs, head to RSET.

Do you have the balls for it??!
