Class Trip to the Shit-Pond (Oops!! The Waste-water treatment plant)

2 May 2008, Friday
Well, as it goes, our Environmental Sciences teacher had one last class yesterday, and he decided to take us out on a field trip to, of all the places, the Waste-water treatment plant behind our hostel blocks (you call that a trip??), and that too in the scorching afternoon!
Well technically, there were just about 15-20 of us students and sir, who very gladly was explaining the mechanism of the water treatment (the oxidation ponds are cleaned once every 6 years!! Boy, we sure would have had a memorable experience had the teacher fallen into it! ;-) )
Well, as treatment plants go, this one had two strange ponds which were stinking, with narrow pathway and people just wishing they are not the ones to fall into a pond full of all that that goes down the toilet drains (eww!!)
I know it is disgusting, but had nothing better to write about...thankfully no one fell into the waste water...
