The day i joined iit as i entered my hostel,i saw a few semi-barbaric creatures engaged in what appeared to me as a feud.
i said to myself, "yaar does this asylum house a few of the best 4000 brains in the country i doubt it!!"
first few days till my parents where there,i felt being watched as a predator watches its prey.Just after they left,that afternoon me and my friend(punit) were heading towards the mess..
some voice blared,"abe are you both facchae ? chal hamare saath lunch khaa"
so there were 4 of them a big fat one(thodu),a guy with a feminine look(chakku),a short shrewd looking one(chuha),a thin guy with real long hair(matchis)..we got our unch and sat down..
matchis --"saale dono apne apne intro doh...aur dheere khana..."
me-- "my name is s.nitish sivaramakrishnan,i have come to IIT guwahati,and i have joined......"
chakku-- "abe saala..yeh naam hai ki train... apane naam ke saath kya lagaya hai,... aur intro pure hindi mei chaalu kar.."
me--"mera naam nitish hai...aur mai bharatiya proudyogiki saansthan mei ......"
thodu---" oye beedu, tu kaal tak complete kar lena...(to my friend)..tu start ho jaa bachoo"
punit--" mera naam punit hai, aur...."
chakku--"chal chal bas kar....abe chuhe tu kuch bolna yaar....(towards me)..... saale isko dekh.... ghap ghap khaa raha hai..dheere khane ko kaha na!!"
chuha--"abe nit.. jo bhi hai....tu gaali dhe...kuch naaya waaala...."
me--" bhaiyya kisko gaali doon...aapko?..nahi mai bas pooch raha...."
matchis --"abe tu over smart ban raha hai kya? saale tu khade ho ja....."
(i stood up )
thodu--" ab chilla ke bol..yehan pe koi mai ki lal ho toh, aake mujhe phodein"
(i was nervous but i said that nice and loud)
matchis--"abe facchon...what were we doing with you all this time now...?"
me--"nothing bhaiyya...we were talking"
thodu--"aah...i think tumne kuch nahi sikha..phir se sikhana padega.."
me --"nahi nahi bhaiyya....we learnt ..ragging ke bare mei sikha...."
chakku--"abe ragging bolta hai toh ...apne ko complaint karega kya?.."
me --"never mai aisa nahi karoonga...."
matchis--"abhi jo hua...uska naam PDP hai.....kya? personality development programme "
chakku--" abe chuhe ...inn facchon se dar gaya kya tu?...kuch bol be.."
chuha--(in whispers)" abe yeh dholu ..frustagaya...pareshaan hai....abe kahin DISCO(disciplinary committee) chakkar na ho jaye.."
a sense of realization struck those savage beasts....and the plump one said
--"abe kaafi entertainment dhe diya tum loge...bakar mar liya...abhi kat lo.."
And many such programmes shaped me ,trained me,moulded me to be one of them, now its almost been a year since those memories...and now to my senses i see myself on the other side of the fence and can almost hear a newcomer say it aloud--
"yaar does this asylum house a few of the best 4000 brains in the country i doubt it!!"
And today i stand proudly proclaiming myself --a typical iitian senior!!
*i have reformed the above to make it free of slangs,unlike what it was!!

hehehe!!!! good blog...sort of a real life version of five point someone by chetan bhagat!
It still beats me as to how some of the biggest brains in the country can behave in such a rude manner!
thankfully you're done with all that and I will never have to go through it!!!
Well I was & still am nitish' neighbour @IITG & also suffered alongside him on one or 2 occasions.
This one is a quite accurate & vivid description,hats off 2 u Nitish!!
I think ragging here is a bit funny ,so no fresher should be afraid of it.
