“How
many times in a month you have wet dream?”Hari, one of my roommates
asked seriously one fine Sunday morning. We six friends were just rose
from beds. I gave hari a dirty look. He turned away and yawned loudly
opening his half-opened eyes. “I hate such kind of dreams, yuck!!” Dev
replied him folding his blanket. While I was struggling to squeeze out
toothpaste from empty sachet, hari winked at me and asked – “bharu, who
is your ‘dream’ girl?” Dev replied quickly– “your grandma, hari”. I
confused how to react. Praveen and manju giggled. I heard dastu snoring
inside blanket.
When I
was in hostel, during my diploma, every Sundays were piece of cake for
us. We used to go for second show movie on Saturdays and take sound
sleep till next morning up to 9am. In fact, 9am was not our target but
we had to wake up early to get breakfast. So hari woke up first and
started asking weird questions. He has an awful brain that always
develops weird questions. I picked up my cloths and went for bath. While
I was bathing, I found my clothes were disappeared. I shocked. I was
hanged cloths over door, and somebody has taken those. I knew it is
thuku’s job. Thuku was roommate of shrikanth, and he love to give
troubles to others.Idecided to teach him a lesson. I finished my bath
fast and I saw one hand placing my cloths over the door. Damn! He
returned my towel only! At least he could give my underwear back. My
blood pressure was reached peak. I did not wait. I wrapped only towel
around my waist and rushed in thuku’s room. Thuku and shrikanth were
sitting in chairs. Thuku smiled as if he’s so innocent and asked – “what
happened?. I shouted angrily –“you don’t want to see me in clothes,
right??” Suddenly I shed my towel off!! I told him - “see me now till
you satisfy!!” I can’t explain their reactions here. They laughed out
loud and begged me to wear anything! Thuku returned my cloths as quick
as possible. I smiled back and came to my room. Few minutes later we
moved in mess hall. I scanned other’s plate to know what is for
breakfast today. My eyes widened as I seen my semi-favorite food was
serving. It was ‘vangi bhath’ (brinjal masala rice :p).I loaded up my plate with hungry two and half spoons of vangi bhath. Then we seated around a dining table and began to eat.
Praveen told twisting his brows-“days going so boring, nothing interesting is happening in life”. Yes, I think in the same way sometimes. But what we can do? Dev said- “yeah, everything is boring”. Hari added – “I couldn’t even find a girlfriend in these two years”.We
discussed about it till noon and we’d made a terrific plan finally. We
decided to rag juniors in the night.Ragging never happened in our
hostel. When we were entered the hostel first time, we guessed seniors
would rag us. But no such things happened. Anyhow, we were going to make
something new that never happened before in our hostel. We approached
shrikanth and thuku. They both didn’t even think twice. They agreed with
great support. Among the both, shrikanth has great body enough to scare
juniors. I doubted how thuku would charge juniors. He is not so tall,
besides I never saw him serious before. And I guessed praveen can care
those freshmen as he is so height. Hari was experienced in fights and
had lot of dare to do the job. I wished I can control my laughter.
After dinner,
we friends gathered in our room. Shrikanth wore bunion, short and
clutched a water bottle. We all went to hunt fresher and picked one
room. Shrikanth knocked the door hard.a thin boy opened the door. We six
guys entered the room seriously. Five juniors in the room were sitting
in chairs and studying. They looked each other in worry. I closed the
door and tightened the bolt…
