The Unforgettable Ragging Experience: A College Hostel Fiasco
School days are filled with memories that last a lifetime. For many, college ragging stands out as an unique and often unforgettable experience. Traditions and antics vary widely across different colleges, but one thing is certain - they are always memorable. This article delves into one such eccentric college tradition and the wild adventure that ensued.
These traditions, especially within the confines of a boys' hostel, often involve unique and sometimes embarrassing practices. One of the more peculiar is the infamous 'Beauty Pageant,' where freshmen are dressed up as if they were the opposite sex, complete with makeup and traditional attire. However, my friend faced a challenge that went beyond the usual expectations, turning an otherwise amusing event into one of the funniest moments of his college life.
A Friendly Ragging Experience
While ragging in our college was relatively friendly, it still carried an element of fun and mischief. The seniors would playfully use us as a source of amusement. One such tradition was the 'Buzzer Round,' a friendly quiz where juniors stood in a circle wearing only their underwear. Each person would hold the balls of the person standing to their right, serving as a unique form of buzzer. This quirky tradition added an element of excitement and camaraderie to the college life.
The Mall Adventure
One day, the seniors decided to take the tradition to a whole new level. My friend, let's call him Alex, was chosen to participate in this particularly wild event. The game began in the hostel, but it quickly turned into an unplanned yet hilarious escapade.
The game followed a simple rule: if a participant held Alex's balls and gave the correct answer, Alex would need to remove his underwear. The tension and competition built up as the game progressed. The person who managed to keep his underwear on until the end would receive the ultimate 'prize' - a unique punishment.
To Alex's surprise, things took an unexpected turn when he was sent to a nearby mall to change and return with brand-new clothes, including new underwear. Being the documentarian of the adventure, it was my responsibility to wait near the entrance of the mall while Alex was gone. Once he returned with mall clothes, he handed over his old ones to me and took on a new challenge - finding a way to exit the mall without anyone noticing he was naked. This was a tricky task indeed!
Dressed in his new mall outfit, Alex attempted to leave the mall, only to be stopped by the security guard. The guard insisted on checking Alex's belongings, and to everyone's amusement, he ended up being stripped down to the underwear level right at the mall entrance. This situation only became more chaotic when the guard escorted Alex to the washroom, leading to a naked Alex emerging from the mall, running towards the hostel.
But the fun didn't stop there. With the mall situated near the hostel, the seniors decided to summon a group of day students to the hostel, asking them to join Alex on this unusual journey. Amidst all the laughter, Alex had to face the challenge of running naked towards the hostel while a crowd of amused seniors watched him.
The Humorous Conclusion
My friend Alex's ragging experience is a testament to the unique and memorable moments that college can offer. From the Beauty Pageant to the bizarre game in the hostel, and eventually ending up in a public mall change of clothes, the adventure taught us all the importance of composure and humor in the face of unexpected situations.
While such events can be embarrassing and nerve-wracking, they also provide a platform for bonding and sharing stories with friends and seniors. These experiences help form a solid and unbreakable bond among college friends for a lifetime. So, while the fun may consist of jokes, pranks, and sometimes nudity, the memories last a lifetime.
