BUNKING n RAGGING - my best subjects of college life

(click on pics for full view)

Well, a baby is born in this bad world (not an unusual thing in India). His life starts with a vacation spending most of the time with his mother. Then comes the pre-nursery vidhyalyas. After a few years he passes out from these pre-school Schools, n fights to take admission into a prestigious school. This is generally referred as “the second home” (Why! May be b’coz u can do all the tests (of ur bad knowledge) that u cannot perform at ur home). After all the fruitful knowledge that v get in school, we enter a college.

They say that cool age of a teenager begins from the first year of college. What is a college? It is our third home in which we learn about two indispensable things i.e. ragging and bunking; besides these two imp things there r ever-raining exams and of course studies.

So, what is Ragging? The basic concept is somewhat similar to army training. No army can face battles without training. Similarly, no fresher can face teachers without facing ragging (a rock-fixed believe of medieval-aged ancestor senior students). In that way, new students get mentally prepared to face professors. Now, the next big query, what factors determine the extent of ragging. Answer to this question is still not prepared & still research work is going on this topic. However, facts screams that more the difficult studies in the college or tougher the entrance test, more is the extent of ragging (like IIT…read newspapers to know more). It is again analogues to wars, tougher the opponent country, tougher the fight. Most basic ragging includes introduction (compulsory in Hindi), mimicking (highest demand is of basanti or any of the teachers), etc. Apart from these small formalities (all done in the name of ragging), various dress codes r set for freshers. It varies from college to college. Bout the X-treme ragging, please refer to ur daily newspapers. A piece of advice for freshers – they should take ragging an opportunity to get along with their seniors. Always remember - a good session of ragging make a fresher ‘fit’ n ‘fine’ for studies in college.

Now, after ragging, what does a fresher do when he becomes a senior? He starts practicing bunking. What is Bunking? The main objectives of bunks are; (a) to give much-needed rest to r beloved extremely hard working teachers who r always keen to take up our all classes and (b) to test the oneness and unity of the class. A festival like bunking (the term ‘festival’ is only valid for students) can be celebrated on numerous occasions like India-Pak cric clash, unsuitable whether conditions, etc. Usually every class has a bunk committee headed by a Don (equivalent to CEO of a MNC), beneath him r his gang members who help him in implementing bunk. Bunks r also of different types- half-day & one-day bunks, MBBS (mass bunk by students). MBBS r planned in advance and cause most annoyance to teachers. One imp ques that nobody dares to think “do only students bunk, aren’t the teachers also responsible to some extent”.

Note: - These two highly irresistible and indispensable things r good, if practiced occasionally that too sometimes. Remember –“ excessive rag can lag ur future in college” and “a high bunk overdose can cause u to flunk”. So, please practice these two things properly.

Issued in the interest of students (who practice these two things?)
