On GPL..

As promised earlier i present a post on the all-famous GPL. Few people know its origin lies in Hindi: Gaand Pe Laat or Kick to the A**! I have borrowed material from NITK Vitruvian '04 too so dont accuse me of plagiarism later..

Introduction
Initially a GPL was reserved only for birthdays. But in the course of progressive evolution today you can give a GPL to anyone- For buying new shoes, for batting well in a meaningless cricket match, for talking to any girl in college and so on.. What started initially as a purely male-dominated affair is today practised even by the ladies of NITK (Bless them).

If you are the person being GPL'd: NEVER SHOUT during the process as this only serves to invite more people to join in. But if you are part of the mob then holler as loudly as you can. You never know when you might be at the receiving end, especially if you are wandering aimlessly near a GPL- site.. Now for the details:

Sorry suhas (Ya right..)


Points of Interest
1) Footwear of the participants in the "ceremony" must range from bare feet to leather shoes (No, i dont refer to bondage gear). This is to ensure an assortment of the forces applied to the rear of the person for complete satisfaction.
2) A minimum of 2 ppl are required to hold the guy being GPL'd, and atleast 1 person to adminster the GPL. However numbers are not a major constraint for GPL as crowds invariably build up in no time!
3) Look before you kick! Do not attempt fancy bicycle kicks, scissor kicks etc. Keep it simple for maximum effect.
4) You should not kick so hard as to hurt yourself in the bargain. People keep making this mistake.
5) Your selection of the "victim" should be a mathematical function of the number of people at your disposal and the probability of yourself being the actual target. It's bad otherwise!
6) Do not kick anyone who can kick you harder: The bigger the person, the better hitter.. Simple Logic!
