   Hi shivam.
   you should have asked me before u posted it and gave comments about my blog here. You have given your point of view. i appreciate ur views about ragging. But in my blog it wasnt the kind of ragging. since i knew all my seniors from school. it was just an introduction.. nothing serious was there nor is it going to be there in our hostel.And the tall guy was my best friend. . so i request you, please ask the views and then post it.because the Real thing may be different and ur view of seeing it may be different and It misleads.. so i kindly request you to co-operate with me and remove this, since its exactly the opposite of what the reality was…Please understand and i Hope you will respond positively to me… thanks shivam.

   Is this guilt Pranay? I am shocked to see that a harmless post and a harmless comment causes you so much dismay that you have deleted that very blog. Anyway, the google cache is still there and the full text of both your posts, I am pasting below. Feel free to sue me and stop posting comments in my name.

They caught Hold of Sharath.G.S,as he didnt agree to go with them to their room,sid saw me and said “CHALO ISKO BULATE HAI” and said come with us.I said ok and I followed them to their room smiling. I wasn’t afraid cause i knew what Ragging was and I had experienced it During my swimming days.so i kept it cool and moved in. Room number 305 which later became my room ,the next year. Sid locked the room and i see a whole lot of guys in that small room. hahahaha.. And i was made to sit on the chair in the middle. and ppl started asking me questions about my previous college and why i joined this college.i got funny replies from them when i said”i liked this college”..they asked me to dance, but i said no,they forced me,and i stuck onto “NO” .then they gave me one more option to sing.i said no again..and Tilak Alva gave me an Idea sing twinkle twinkle…and i sang that…soon there was a Knowck on the Door..Tilak opens the door and Chinchu comes in asking me “Are they Ragging you? tell me,i’m in the anti ragging squad” i said no and smiled..then Sid started a drama fight..Chinchu went out side saying “Tomorrow 10 at Princi’s office “.. then i smiled at Sid..then sid said “why are you smiling? your not supposed to smile,Dont you know that?”..but i still continued to smile..and sid picked up a Cig pack and signs over it as “ABU BAKKAR SIDDQUE” and intro duces him self as abu bakar siddique.,By that time Damu called him sid..then sid used his presence of mind and said “YAAR mujhe SID mat bulaya kar,siddique bula,Kitni baar kahoon”. and he gave me that signed packet and said “I’m giving this to you.When ever i ask you to show this to me,u have to show it”. i said ok. and i was about to move and He asked me to wait and Ramnath was called in and i was asked to intro him.i just asked his name and the rest all others asked.but ramnath was a tall fellow answering every question but was sweting. it was 5 PM by then and it was time for the evening tea at the mess..and we moved out..looking down from the third floor. I Preserved the CIG pack given by Sid signed as Abubacker siddique till my final year,As a memory for the first day and finally i Had to disposed it off . but even today i remember that and i have a print of it in my memories…

   YEAH AND THE BEST QUESTIONG SID HAD ASKED ME IN THAT ROOM -”WHATS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF UR LIFE” ..and PPL around saying “JOINING THIS COLLEGE” as i silently smiled at them………

   They were The best senior…Those memories were the best..After which they Got to know me well.

   Even today i can Never for get that day,the sunlight,the room,Those ppl ,wonderful seni0rs…and yeah,Even today i can sense the voice and noise ,the comments passed ,Questions asked,taunts,the LAUGH the present SID had given,all are still fresh in my Heart..”GOLDEN DAYS”..I now understand the meaning of “STUDENT LIFE IS GOLDEN LIFE”..Those times spent in Hostel can never get away from my heart.its so fresh and green even today i cant believe that it was 5 years ago.

   22 SEP 2003, It was Half an hour past Five in the Morning, I got down from the KSRTC bus at Ballal Bagh, Mangalore, Accompanied by my father. we straight away went to my uncles place 100mts away, from the place i got down. We had a Quick Nap and at 7, had our breakfast. It was my First day of college and i was Exited. After Breakfast having watched some T.V till 8:30am. We set off to the Bus stand. My uncle Dropped Us to The state bank bus stand.It was almost 9 and we Boarded a Neerumarga bus to my college. The bus Started off and the strength of commuters started increasing and at bunts hostel stop it was crowded.. The bus slowly moved on the ghats of neeru marga and at the neeru marga stop it halted for 15 mins. I was restless, it was already 9:30.Finally the bus starts off at 9:45 towards B.C Road and I’m relived a bit. Looking outside the window into the trees and beautiful scene. i finally reach the C.E.C stop on benjanapadavu. we got down and started walking towards the college.. it was a typical village seen. we entered the college through the Hostel side Gate(which used to be open during those days), and we Finally reach the College office. I Quickly Dropped my Luggage in the Office room and we Hurried to the Orientation program that was about to begin at the seminar hall..

   The Orientation program went on and on, and finally it was time for a Tea Break. I had a Cup of tea watching all the New faces .. finally it was time for us to move to our new class Room. We were guided to our new class room by two of our lecturers and attendance was taken. It was completely new to me. All ppl had their own friends with them, and speaking Hard core Konkani. I had managed to sit at the last bench. I finally after a lot of thoughts in my mind, decide to talk to the person sitting next to me, and I did. Then we were guided towards, our new labs and i moved with the guy who sat next to me. we entered the lab, and the professors gave us a brief introduction about the lab .I was Shocked when some of the ppl started asking questions about the labs. Can you imagine?, it was just a day to show where our labs were and students asking Questions. hahaha.. we came down and i met my father down stairs and went to the bank to open an account at the college branch.

   Finally it was time to go home. I went back to the office with my father, collected My bags and set off towards Men’s Hostel, Slowly walking, looking at the college grounds, passing by the cafeteria ,and seniors. We finally reach junior boys hostel and meet the warden. After talking for a few mins, I was allotted the room. Room Number 208.and I’m told about my room mate. We slowly climbed the stairs. I’m exited. I reach 208 and its latched. the warden shouts from down, open the latch and move in. We moved in and settle down. My father unpacks the bag into the Space allotted.. My New Room mate comes in along with his new friend and introduces himself and ABHAY, from Mumbai. I too introduce my self and my Dad to him. he then leaves for the TV room with Amith.

   I talk with my father for an Hour, all the advices and all those things. And its 2:30 now and my father decide to leave. I agree and he finally leaves the room With a Smile, Wishing me luck and Hugging me. i watch Him through the window as he walked away from the hostel. After a few meters before he could disappear, He Turn back and waves at me with a smile. And within minutes he was out of the campus. I decide to sleep. I saw my watch, it was 2:30.and I slept. I Dint wake up till it was 6 and my room mate entered and woke me up. the me, Abhay (Roomie) and Amit decide to go for a round in the campus. I find ppl, playing in the ground, girls and boys ,all new faces…and we walk to the stores. I bought some unruled books and we returned back to our hostel. At 7:30 we went to the mess together. I could hear all other ppl saying they are senior, they will rag us if we go alone hahaha.. it was a new place for me and i was not so comfortable. we moved to the mess and we had our dinner. Its time to move out. we moved out of the mess. Most of the friends decided to go back to hostel. but i wanted to take a round in the campus. I asked few new friends who agreed along with my room mate abhay and we move towards the cafe. Suddenly a girls comes out of dark and calls out my name “Pranay”. I turned out only to find, it was my friend from Mysore. We spoke for a minute we moved. we went into the café, Had a juice, and decide to move back.

   Finally, We came out Only to Find seniors Waiting for us outside. A Whole lot of Girls from senior Girls Hostel .hahaha.. Now they know my name(because of the friend I met on the way to the cafe, who was from mysore). I could hear Girls calling out my name. Two of my super senior boys step in and ask me to step forward. i did. two of my friends comment on this. and they were taken aside. .haha.. Finally My intro starts.. What’s your name and everything. my percentage, in 12th,college..and why did i come to canara ,why not join other colleges. Finally the intro is over.. Now The girls Start commenting on me. i could hear “he’s cute” hahaha.. Finally they ask my One last Question. Guess???? ……

   Whom do you Find the Most prettiest among us??? haha..

   i was dumb struck with that question.. didn’t know what to answer, they were my seniors. I just kept blushing..and with my head down i simply pointed to the girl who asked me the question…i was again asked the same question with “See properly and tell us”…after a few seconds and their force, I look at the girl group and :-SS …looking at so many girls i point out at a smiling girl ..and the crowd suddenly says “AAAAhh Ashwiniiiiii” and laughs…one of the wardens saw this Group standing near the cafe. Sitting the warden the group disperses and yeah.. my super senior come to me and says !!! “they found u very Handsome, hats y all this happened…..NOW DONT FLY TOO HIGH” hahahahahahaha…we finally return to the junior hostel and the news spread like wild fire.. finally it was time to sleep, and before that i made a few more friends, home i Miss Even Today ..

   If your so serious about your commitment, come out of the papers and try going to some college and stop it rather than Stealing somebody else PERSONEL BLOG and Comenting out of proportion.

   its so pitty that ur using ur skills to Prove things from blogs by stealing them.

   If your so determined to do it, Do it in reality ,Get into the crowd , show up yourself at some college and stop sombody from “RAGGING”..it could very well be happening across 100′s of colleges in india as i type this mail, and not just stealing blogs.Does it make sense?

   Hi,

   this blog is really stupid…I really cannot understand why the hell one should comment on others personal experience…The purpose of blog is to share good experiences amongst friends…not to hurt someones feeling…poor guy pranay has mentioned that he was ragged by seniors decently…I call it interaction rather than tagging it as ragging…there are always two faces of a coin, on bad and one good…If pranay had mentioned that he experienced bad times with seniors, then it was better for shivam to sympathize pranay…I feel shivam likes to make fun of people instead of creating awareness…I think Shivam’s intentions are ridiculous and mannerless…Who the hell are you to abuse someones name…Shall I say Shivam is a PRO ABUSER…will that be good for you…Learn to respect others feelings rather than hurting them…I dont want to abuse you shivam, but telling you to be in limits…If pranay was told to get naked and dance, it would be a serious abduction…but nothing of such sorts has happened…if it happened also could you help pranay…no right…Blog is for everyone to share thier feelings not for criticism or abduction…I too protest RAGGING…only the bad ragging…
   Cheers…

   Mr Sam, there is no such thing as good ragging, as there is no such thing as good terrorism.
   Rather than giving your own imagined interpretation of what constitutes ragging, it will be better if you check out definition of ragging as per Supreme court of India. For your convenience, here follows that definition:
   “Any disorderly conduct whether by words spoken or written or by an act which the effect of teasing, treating or handling with rudeness any other student, Indulging in rowdy or indisciplined activities which causes or Is likely to cause annoyance, hardship or psychological harm or to raise fear or apprehension thereof in a fresher or a junior student or asking the students to do any act or perform something which such student will not do in the ordinary course and which has the effect of causing or generating a sense of shame or embarrassment so as to adversely affect the physique or psyche of a fresher or a junior student.”

   I feel ragging is that only parents to be blamed as they have not brought up their children in the right manner.
   All this kind of ragging of started only during these recent years.Especially the rich, as parents have no time for their children, they themselves go visiting to pubs and other social activities.The poor parents only look forward that they chrildren study and come out in flying colours, and those are the children who are mostly studying abroad, and they are the onces who are well settled in life.I am once of the well wishers for the poor and not the rich.Counselling is very important for these kind of children.

   During my college days, I had a very good team of boys and girls.My parents were very strict and my mother was a house wife and she devoted all her time in helping us to study.Today although my parents are no more, but they have educated all their children and settled them all in life.
   As parents do not find time to watch over their children’s behaviour, counselling is a must for the senior and junior students. Nowadays parents have a lot of money to bribe and get the degree for their children. So, children take it all too easy and they find time for ragging.’

    It is all money that plays the devil’s game.
    With money everything is possible in todays’ world.
    Serious action has to be taken of senior and junior students’ ragging, they should be punished with a kind of heavy fine and thereafter I feel parents’ also start
    keeping a watch over their children.
    Even I heard that ragging takes place at law college’s too. But, why are they studying law, as it makes no sense.Nowadays students are so foolish and they feel it is a pride by ragging? It is just a foolish idea.
