2003 Vs 2004 (batch)Who is the winner

The incident, which will tear apart, already a fragile batch interaction in ours college. Junior appeasement is lot like minority appeasement. Minor skirmishes are a way of life. That too an engineering life is a void without it. I am not saying that give the seniors a free hand but don’t be biased against them so much that an apartheid feeling sinks in.

First of all i will give the objective details of what happened at our college annual-cum-cultural-cum-technical festival on February.

“It all happened the night of Rampage which gave the reason for them to fight.
After all it’s the legacy of synapse to have some kinda panga and i was bit disappointed that this time the event will be eventless. Nevertheless bless those souls who kept the flames alive.
It all started as I heard. It was when certain junior boys commented on the 2003 girl. Boys who were close to that girl, to show their macho image (which was badly bruised by me at ragging and etc), thrashed the junior boys. Now the next day the bf of the girl to show how much he cares again thrashed the guys. Batch unity came in 2004 and they made the 2003 guys apologize and during that time they hooted and overdid it. 2003 ppl on the cloak of sorting things out thrashed the juniors again. Meanwhile I must add that all thrashing were nominal and not like those witnessed on a typical engineering college(No hockey sticks etc). That was the end. The 2003 batch took the cue from 2002 batch but one miscalculation was that they didn’t factor in the Chetan Parikh (Gariboon ka messiah).He deserves the complete blog for himself. Coupled with junior pressure, same batch treachery, Chetan Parikh they were thrown out of the college hostel and fine for another semester.”

It isn’t the first time that anyone has been kicked. But mainly it was on account of boozing and once or twice on thrashing. It has become a norm with the advent of Chetan Parikh and Lenin (warden).In fact no one was ever expelled. Earlier the life was so cool. If they had been at the helm of in charge, then half of the 2001 batch would have been out of the hostel. And I would have been expelled on at least three accounts. What does the faculty want to prove with this? That they are the supreme commander. They have made the life as like a school boarding. Peeping on the rooms who are smoking, who is boozing etc. Come on grow up man. Checking is done so that all these things are done not in open, not to stop them completely.

The over-protectionism of the junior batches has led to the kind of batch divide. Really I do feel that these sorts of things bring batches closer if not overdone. Let them sort the thing themselves. It brings a sense of responsibility. Comparing all the seniors with the same parameters is bound to bring frustration. Many students who were expelled must have been innocent also. Who knows? More ever punishing only seniors because they are elder isn’t okay. Also a sign of warning to those juniors that not ever let yours blood boy on anything no matter how close the matter is close to yours heart, because history repeats itself. And it has already repeated in 5 yrs of college existence already.

We were the most cohesive with our seniors (2001 batch), because we had numerous fights amongst ourselves. Then with 2003 batch courtesy all those ragging and other fun stuffs. Now the bond is getting weaker and weaker in subsequent batches. No body cares. Seeing them daily and not acknowledging them. That’s what chetan has taught the juniors. But one thing they are forgetting that it’s the alumni which are going to help them when they are out of the college. So don’t go that far that the bonds never mature.

May the good sense prevail and harmless interaction continues between batches.What I intended to say was that policing is good but marshal law isn’t.
