First Steps in RVCE

i am going to spare u the description of Orientation Classes which were soooooooooooo boring that i was wondering...u have to work so hard and listen to this crap ????...the only good thi ng was i got selected in Football...so here is my first day in College...
I heard there was ragging in the College bus and i was a bit nervous as i was not ragged in my PU also.So with mixed expectations asd anxiety,i entered the bus of RVCE.There was nothing to suggest,other than the green paint outside,that this was the bus of RVCE.It was just like any other 6 wheeler.The bus was pretty deserted and since mine was only the 2nd stop,not many people were there.I sat there expecting all kinds of people and especially SENIORS whom i dreaded.My school friend Nakul,classmate KK and a new friend Gaurav sat there in the bus,a little relaxed that there were no intros to be given,no songs to be sung or proposals to be done !!!..then finally one senior got in and he turned to be my school senior and also a member of a football team i had played against.So he was also eliminted as a potential tormentor.After gettin down in College,we were walikng with smiles on our faces as if it was a big achievement that we were not ragged,especially after stories of my friends in IITs.
The College had started on a monday.the next day as well,we went expecting that there wont be any seniors..but we were wrong...the bus was like a semiconductor diode...half with free electrons(seniors) in the back and holes(seats) in the front.i sat there and every nerve in my body was trying to listen to wat seniors were talking and i was actively scanning for the word RAGGING.There was nothing of that sort till Vijaynagar.so we were cool that the seniors were vey kind and stuff...and then suddenly...there was a soft melodious tone in the air...it was a male voice..a voice which i knew well...which i knew too well...Gaurav !!!...i was careful enough that i dont make sudden movements in turning back(its like a prey running from the predator).Gaurav was asked to sing,give a dozen intros,take intro from a girl sitting in the adjacent bus in a Traffic Signal.Another girl wa asked to sing Baah baah black sheep.(just rough details).Me,Nakul and KK--"we are done".
Day--Thursday(Half Day)
Location--College Bus
Time-1.30
Details-Shivajinagar Bus
Me,Nakul,KK have our first half day in RVCE.We frantically search for buses which ply on our route.we finally get to know that its the College Bus in the Shivajinagar route.i was relieved that we got the bus(BMTC would be tooooooooo tiring).But the relief was soon wiped out by one sight-a bus with 17 seniors,5 junior boys(including us),3 junior girls.We naturally,like a pack of cows,sat together in a 3 seater even when there were enough seats for us to sleep.that was the first signal of fear we sent.its like showing ur predator that u are scared--thats wrong baby.
me--"KK,u are going first"
Nakul--"Shhhhhh...dont talk...they might call us"
silence......
Nakul--"i hear them talking about ragging us"
Every part of my body was hoping that he did not hear it...i was wrong...dead wrong !
A hand taps me on my shoulder--"Excuse me,they are calling u 3"
KK--"u guys go..i have already been ragged"
i still managed a laugh in that situation"common da...its ok"
17 seniors staring at u is a very intimidating site especially when 2 of them are 6'5 and others are all nested between hot girls.
Addressing me--Senior X:"listen man..take it cool...we are the good boys...the bad boys are at the back"
X to Y(in the back)--"oye....i want this raw meat tested now...but go easy...the driver is a cranky fellow"
bus starts--my heart beat sounded louder than the engine of the old Bus.
Y to Nakul--"come here"
He walks meakly towards him.
"name?"
"Nakul"
"Full name"
"Nakul Sangolli"
"ok...enough bullshit-lets get to serious stuff"
calling another junior"i ragged u yesterday na...show these fellows how to get ragged.."
y--"Lets play Mortal Kombat "
me thinking "Mortal Kombat ??????????????...wat the f$%# ???????"
y addressing two juniors "u are my player.i make u a cow--and that fellow is the opponent,he is a chicken.now run around like fighters."
They run around like children-Mooooooooo---puck puck puckaaa puck puck
it was amazingly funny and it was nice that i found my sense of humour and a laugh leaked out.That was it--
"hey u,u find it funny ?"
"er...no...it isn't"
"ok guys,lets all concentrate and rag him together "
The walls of the bus seemed to close in on me..i felt that i was cornered..
"Biodata?"
"Abhiram.K.G...Born on..."
"i said full biodata"
"i was born on November 1st in Bahrain.i was then named as Abhiram......................................."
"very good...u know Twinkle Twinkle ?"
"yes"
"sing"
"Twinkle twinkle little star..(very nervous)...up above the..."
"Macha...he does not know Twinkle Twinkle !!!!!!!!!!"[Bus errupts in laughter]
"sorry..(i finally found the right words)"
"ok fine...now after every two words..add...Up my a@# down my a#$!!!!"
holy crap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Twinkle twinkle up my a#$ little star down my a$#....(i finally finish it with a lot of difficulty and embrassement)"
in the meantime,i noticed Y getting pissed when N akul told that IEM was the worst branch.
X to me--"which branch do u think y is ?"
"IEM"
"y do u think so ?"
i gave the reson as stated...
"macha..this fellow is smart da...i will deal with him later..."
i breathed a sigh of relief.just when i thought it was all over,the best thing happened.The Hottest girl in the bus..senior,looking at me,addressing to X"i want this fellow to propose to me"
"y him ?"
"he seems to be the smartest in the lot"
"macha..this fellow is SRK da...bloody...Archi chik has asked him out..."Y--"i will show him..."
Y--"propose to each and every girl in the bus in a unique way...common...quick..."
they were probably seeing us as entertainment...but this ?????????????...i am not an actor...!!!!!
Just when i was done with the first proposal,it was then that i realized that my stop had come...travellin 11 km was never this fast or rather this slow in someways.
X,Y--"nice fun man...no hard feelings"
me--"no man...nice meeting u"
So i felt like i was 50kgs lighter when i got off the bus.The expectations,the images of Ragging were replaced by fun,an experience u miss if u are not ragged or if u chicken out...and if Samadhi or twister is reading this...dont compare this to IIT rag...i know IIT is better in all aspects...wait...except one...The Female Species !!!!
