Building a jacket seems easy enough, on paper. All one has to do is draw a few lines, connect them, calculate the weight that it can withstand. That's it. Or so I thought.
Little did I know that in reality, it is more complicatd than that.
The moment I stepped into the fabrication yard, and saw the jacket from afar, I was mystified. It looked like one of those humongous things that little dwarfs and minions like us built. Can you imagine bees building beehives? or Rafflesia growing from a single seed?
My jaw dropped wide open in awe, as I approached the humongous yellow jacket.
The size of the jacket grew by 1 centimetre with each step I took. By the time I was only 1 foot apart from it, I just kept on staring in amazement. So, this is how a 40 m structure with a width of 15m looked in reality. It takes us less than 3 minutes to walk 40m, but it takes us 3 years to build a platform of a similar dimension.
Mesmerizing! Truly Mesmerizing!
I'm so glad I was invited to witness the crossover/loading out of the jacket at the yard!
