(This is some part of my upcoming novel and all characters in this small story are fictitious)
...........and then all of them lined up in front of their 2nd year seniors in that small room of one of the senior around 10 O Clock in night. Second year and first years folks had finished their dinner together but seniors looked hungry because juniors joined college a little bit late and so they had a delayed start for ragging session. Some of them in seniors were quite excited to start the session. Mota sardar was the ring leader from seniors. Juniors were bit puzzled. No one was sure that how will it start and what will happen? How long it will go? All kinds of questions were jumping in their young engineering minds but no one had enough courage to ask to any senior. Chachwa (from first year) looked over aged and so first all of the senior laughed at him and asked juniors to also laugh. Delhite (He had already proven his singing talent in front of seniors earlier in some of the mock-up ragging sessions earlier) was asked to laugh in a tune of famous song of singer Mukesh "Kahin door jab din dhal jaye.........". He quickly followed the dictat.
and then, all of the sudden..... Patalu Khas shouted and asked everyone to stop laughing.
A pin drop silence everywhere and then Patalu pulled Moti Bekar out of the queue.
"Where is the girl who was supposed to join Comp Sc in your batch"? – Patalu shouted. His throat was almost out of his mouth.
Moti didn’t move an inch. No reaction from Moti. He didn’t utter a single word. Juniors were puzzled.
Seems Moti told seniors that he has a confirmed news that a girl is going to join in this batch for comp sc and after hearing this news seniors were happy. This was very rare that a girl joining this college from that part of country and they probably thought that at least they have opportunities to talk to a girl now. But when they saw a lean and thin black guy joining instead of a girl in comp sc, seniors already had planned to teach Moti a lesson. They felt Moti has made them fool to escape ragging.
Moti thought it’s better to explain them how it went wrong than keeping silent and started explaining.
Moti had all kind of explanation but could not escape slaps and kicks from seniors. Seniors didn’t get convinced with his explanations and everyone of them took pride in assaulting that chap.
After that beating session of Moti, again all juniors were lined up. Moti was still not recovered from trauma and sobbing quitly in corner. Juniors were standing quite and looked scared. All of the sudden Laund Boss came out of line and pulled a small letter from his pocket. He offered that letter to Mota from his right hand and in respect held his right hand elbow with his left hand. He told Mota Sardar that he has a letter for all of them. Seems Laund got a letter written from a senior from other engineering college and he had firm believe that after reading this letter, seniors will not rag him (poor chap......). In fact other juniors were feeling jealous of him because of that letter. Mota sardar very politely took letter and started reading loudly. In letter, the sender has asked seniors to not rag Laund Boss. After reading letter, all seniors started acting like they are going to follow instruction as per the letter and wont rag Laund. Poor Laund felt his letter trick worked and was happy. Other juniors were still feeling jealous of him. And then... all of the sudden.... more than one seniors under the leadership of Patalu jumped over Laund and started beating him mercilessly...........
It was a horrible start of ragging for those new comers of that engineering college.....
