"Ragging"
On saturday night there was a formal ragging session in our hostel. Just a one off affair, we had to come in formals with tie at 12.00 in the night. around 30 of us in hostel 10. There were equal no. of seniors. we were made to sit on the ground and were called up one by one to give intro and answer questions before that one had to stand below the building, and was drenched with a couple of buckets of water from the top and then had to run to the centre like zeenat aman or parveen babi. one sardar was told to come doing bhangra, one guy was told to come like allan donald, doing the aeroplane simulation after a wicket.
After that an intro and then seniors asked us to tell jokes or used to make fun of some trait. one was asked to do Dhaava like hrithik, 3 were to do an impromptu skit, one tamil rajnikant fan did the famous rajni sunglass manoeuvre. one chiranjeevi fan did a dance. one told vulgar shayari and if people didnt laugh he got kicks on his backside by a person stationed there specifically for that function. Some 'facchas' were asked to describe their
favorite female in the batch.
All guys were given nicknames some samples : A sardar my AIT junior Inder, was given "PM", one guy was "dhaava", one "butler" ( he studied in some Roy Butler college in kanpur), the rajni fan was "baba", the theatre guy called "bhand". I was "back-fire" . Coz of a joke i told. I got off lightly, by the time my turn came it was 3am , and the guys were somewhat fatigued, moreover as I had a AIT batchmate Sawan among the oppressors.
so wasnt asked much, just to tell something about his capers in college and to describe FC road.
After all this there was lot of booze and drinks kept , of which we all had a fill and dozed off finally around 4am.
