Ragging in the first year

Today we see very ugly ways of and some extreme result of ragging I checked the dictionary meaning of ragging it is teasing. That time it was called taking introduction of the new comers, in general a decent way of teasing. In our hostels it was done once in a year in the beginning of session in the mess hall. The students well called room member wise some general questions like asking names, hobbies etc. were asked by the seniors and the junior was asked to carry out some activity like, I was asked to carry our some dance pose Ashok was asked to sing a song a fellow student Subodh Patkar bit fat was asked to climb the mess table with out taking support of hands which the poor chap could never do. Some body was asked to spell out the whole title of the college if mistaken was asked to go running to the main gate of the collage to read the correct name from the sign board that poor fellow never understood that the same title is written on the hostel gate it self.
Any way it was enjoyable once the student knew each other just saying hello to the classmate and wishing the senior was a regular practice. Continued in next blog!
