Learnings at work!

Mistake 1: Placing a cup full of Tea right next to the laptop
Mistake 2: Not gulping down the tea quickly
Mistake 3: Whacking the tea-cup, which was full of T (Refer Mistake 2)

Result: Laptop not powering on. Spending Monday morning running to the IT help-desk (breathing a sigh of relief to know that the hard disk is safe and sound) and finding a replacement to the laptop.

Moral of the story 1: Make sure you do not spill tea on the side of the laptop where the hard disk is located!

Moral of the story 2: If MOTS-1 does not hold good, take hard-disk back-ups regularly!!
