Hazing - who's the hunter, who's the prey??

Jam babe used to get handpicked by the then seniors when she was a fresher in college. They ruthlessly made her sing, dance and answer all of the insane questions, not once, not twice, but many a time. Now, times and tides have changed and the young, tenderfoot, innocent Jam babe is long gone; she’s now at the helm, read final year, of college. But the haunting memories of the callous ragging still seem to frustrate her and these frustrations are mainly relieved by occasionally picking up the current freshmen and passing onto them all of what she endured.

Scene 1:

The classes were over a bit early for our batch that day and Jam babe hastily hurried towards the college bus to reserve her seat. Unfortunately, a freshman had already seized Jam babe’s usual seat.

Jam babe: Ithe ente sthiram seat aanennu arinjukoode?
Freshman: !!!!
Jam babe: Eyaal ezhunneette.
(He gets up and gives the seat to Jam babe)
Jam babe: Aatte, oru paattu paadikke.
Freshman: Ayyo chechi, enikke paadan ariyilla.
Jam babe: A to Z alphabets ariyaamallo, athu oru thaalathil angu paadiyaal mathi.
(Freshman does the task as instructed)
Jam babe: Ini oru break dance.
Freshman: Chechi, ente kaal ulukkiyirikkuva, athu konde dance kalikkaan pattilla.
Jam babe: Chumma number onnum irakkanda; njaan senior aane. Ninnoodu paadaan paranjaal paadanam, aadaan paranjaal aadanam.
Freshman: Illenkil?
Jam babe: Njaan aaraanennu ninakku ariyaamo.
Freshman: Chechikku njaan araanennu ariyaamo.
Jam babe: Nee 1st year ile oru thukkeda payyan.
Freshman: Njaan 1st year ile oru thukkeda payyan aayirunnu, naalu varsham mumbu. Ippum njaan final year Automobile Engg.
Jam babe: !!!!!! (Rats!)
(Freshman will be hereafter referred to as Auto chettan)
Auto chettan: Nee Electronics batch alle, vokey ellaam sheriyaakki tharaam.
(And he walks away)

Scene 2:

The next morning, Auto chettan along with a horde of his batch mates marched into our classroom and besieged Jam babe; then started shouting slogans, “Auto kaare thottu kalichaal akkali theekkali sookshicho”. Now here goes the killer punch - 
Jam babe (to Auto chettan): Athine njaan ninne thottillallo!
Auto studs: !!!
Electronic studs: !!!

P.S. When I told Jam babe that she’s going to be the next victim in my blog - 
Jam babe: Ninte thallipoli blog thudangiya samayathu njaan maatramaarunnu ninakke aakeyundaarunna “COMMENTERATOR”. Athu oorthal nanne.
Whatever the case maybe, you’re still my dearest “COMMENTERATOR”. Keep Jamming!!

None evokes more fear in college than getting ragged by a mech!!;-P

anyways this brings back lot of horror memories..I remember in hostel some of guys closed the room of the hostel warden from outside..swtiched off the mains..and started banging at the door at night..Remember the folks who did this was first year mech students..imagine the horrors done by the final year!!

P.S. The hostel warden suffered from severe fever after the incident. :-P

@philip: Hunter becomes the hunted, hehe. Thanks philip!!

@reji: Easy dude, don't be so harsh, she's is infact a paavam girl. By the way, haven't the girls in CET killed you yet?? I now understand why that old girl of yours flew back from Chennai to Trivandrum just to slap (verbally I mean) you. Yeah, I heard that story from Thavala.

@mathew: Yeah, I've heard a lot of (mis)adventures of the Royal Mechs in CET. The range of their activities have been mitigated in recent times though. I suppose you were in the 2004 batch.

@silverine: Yeah, Auto guys demonstrating against an Elec girl; that's the girl power of our batch. Then imagine the guy power we've. To any Auto dude reading this - just kidding!! ;)

thomas said...

@g-man: Something kinda opposite happened to me. When I was in S5, a dude called me and started off; I played along thinking he was a junior and would surprise him in the end. After a while I realized that he was indeed a senior in s7. Lucky!!

@deepti: And so are you!

@admiral fagin: Thanks buddy!
