SUJI: A life that was MNR

Ragging

From the veryoutset as I stepped into MNR, I found lots of gys and gals (actually Sirs and madams,as Isoon found out) roaming around in search of victims. Well as tradition continues, the seniors (second, third and final years) were the lethal “junir-hungry” breed who just couldn’t wait to sink in their fangs into the poor first years.

To start with, let’s talk of the formalities – “Respected Sir Shri ….” – This is what every senior commanded for the respectful jobs, they did. Also, the geometry test was tobe taken by the junor in which he had to draw an anagle of ninety degrees with his body. The third button rule stated that “Be everready to look at your (red) third button. “As you wish, Sir” – a standard remark was to be made whenever the senior intended to give you a choice. Apart from these, there were punishment fundas of the mortal murga, the sensual shimla and the pierceful phantom.

“Guess, what is my branch?” “What’s my year, boss” “Hey! Can you find my state? I give you three questions” – seemed to test more of your common sense than your GK. Some words like “muski”, “bond”, “peedit”, “boss” should always be found on the hit list if ever you planned to take a MNR GRE Test.

Well, I could write and continue writing on this and the whole book would just be on this, but you would love me to write other things as well.

I agree that I had to undergo relatively less of physical ragging (what you term as ‘laths’ and ‘jhapads’)
