\u2018Hey! What\u2019s your name?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018hm,,,hm\u2026 Mahalakshmi\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018ha..ha..ha..did I ask your grandma\u2019s name?\u00a0 tell your name along with your<\/p>\n
surname\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Mahalakshmi Muraleedhar Dhikshith\u2019\u2026.<\/p>\n
\u2018oho ho ho\u2026.the senior girls\u2019 loud laughter almost hit the compound walls of that college.<\/p>\n
\u2018ok..ok.\u00a0 now we all feel\u00a0 that it is just not enough that you said one time\u2026so say your name atleast 5o times together with your surname.\u00a0 come on dear Mahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\u2019.<\/p>\n
Maha very humbly listened to the senior girls\u2026.<\/p>\n
It was her grandpa\u2019s desire that Maha should study in that college as it is famous for many celebrities and great women did their graduation there.\u00a0 Moreover, her dad also insisted to have her go for only womens\u2019 college and not for \u2018co-ed\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now, Maha is paying for it\u2026.<\/p>\n
Maha knows that there would be ragging in the colleges,\u00a0 and she has to face any kind of situation.\u00a0\u00a0 Her mother\u00a0 brought up her with more discipline and values.\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Maha.\u00a0 Try tobe patient under any circumstances as Patience creates confidence.\u00a0 When we have patience, our mind gets aligned with reality and our energy makes the good things to happen\u2019.<\/p>\n
Like Maha, there were some more new facets undergoing such kind of ragging by the senior girls.\u00a0 This was their first day\u2026..so have to wait and see!\u00a0 Whenever the new girls pass by the senior girls, they have to salute them and have to carry out their commands implicitly.\u00a0\u00a0 Maha was wondering as if any horns had grown for the seniors to behave like this?\u00a0 Hm\u2026.Maha sighed.<\/p>\n
\u2018Aye, Mahaaaa.\u00a0 Can\u2019t you hear me?\u00a0 Come and finish the notes in my record book.\u00a0 Fast\u2026fast.\u00a0 I need to submit it tomorrow.\u00a0 Commanded the fatty & chubby Premi, who always lead the senior girls with her roaring voice.\u00a0 Maha controlled her anger and conducted herself very professionally.\u00a0 And sat for writing notes for Premi\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2018Oi girl\u2026.Maha, who is that cockroach sitting closer to you?\u00a0 Ask her to sing a song while you are doing the record work.\u00a0 Hullo, girl?\u00a0 Whats your name?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2026I..am Suma.\u00a0 Sorry I don\u2019t know music.\u00a0 Cannot sing\u2026\u2019 the poor Suma with her trembling voice came forward to say sorry.<\/p>\n
\u2018What?\u00a0 How dare you are talking back?\u00a0 Here, as a new comer you have to obey our commands and it is the rule forever.\u00a0 Understand?\u00a0 Now, sing\u00a0 Chamak Challo from Ra-0ne.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t sing, we all would strip you, mind it.\u2019<\/p>\n
Maha whispered to Suma. \u2018tears won\u2019t help Suma.\u00a0 Do what they say\u2026 Sing any song\u2019.<\/p>\n
Suma started to sing a Bhajan song\u2026..oh\u2026ho..ho\u2026all the senior girls laughed\u00a0 chorusly.\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Hey Suma\u2026this is a college and you are in hostel\u2026ok?\u00a0 Don\u2019t invite the donkeys by singing\u2026che, so horrible! ok Maha, let us leave Suma\u2026better you sing the Chamak Challo\u2019.\u00a0 They don\u2019t want to give up that simply.\u00a0 When Maha started to sing, one of the senior girls did dance, other one made fun\u00a0 of her and the rest were all laughing .<\/p>\n
Poor Maha tries to hold back her tears\u2026.oh! this is too much and vulnerable!\u00a0 For how long these demons would tease me like this?\u00a0 \u2026 rediculous!<\/p>\n
Premi screamed\u2026\u2019Hi Mahaaaa! Whats this?\u00a0 You are crying\u2026so you are a cry-baby now.\u00a0 oh baby\u2026we want to make you happy\u2026you know, how?\u00a0 all the babies like to play with water, right?\u00a0 so we want to bathe you\u2026.come on\u2026 girls\u2026.help Maha to take out her dress\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2018oh! please leave me\u2026.let me do other things\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Ok.ok\u2026cool..cool.\u00a0 Then stand with a wild smile, meaning showing your teeth for 10 minutes.\u00a0 ok?\u2019<\/p>\n
Maha did so.\u00a0 She felt as if her mom\u2019s voice whispered in her ears\u2026\u2019Maha!\u00a0 Better tobe patient than powerful.\u00a0 I am sure that small changes may\u00a0 create\u00a0 bigger things just beyond imagination and may lead to worst situation\u2026so\u00a0 just be strong because patience is a virtue, love is a value and life is a gift.\u2019\u2026..<\/p>\n
Maha keeps silence, expecting\u00a0 their commands to carry out.\u00a0 Fatty Premi ordered\u2026\u2019Aye\u00a0 Maha\u2026now we are all very hungry and we are all fed up with our hostel\u00a0 food.\u00a0 We are all dying for Pizza.\u00a0\u00a0 So, go and order Pizza and Coke for all of us\u2019.\u00a0 Maha ordered and they all had\u00a0 enjoyed the dinner at Maha\u2019s cost.With the roaring laughter, they all left to their rooms without even thanking Maha.<\/p>\n
Maha could not get into sleep.\u00a0 Felt like returning back home.\u00a0 She was very much upset as they threatened her to strip.\u00a0 What kind of girls are they?\u00a0 Infact Maha got herself well prepared for any kind of ragging\u2026.but this was ridiculous!\u00a0 They all enjoyed the cheap pleasure by teasing others\u2026hm! She never knew when she slept.<\/p>\n
It was 9am when she woke up.\u00a0 Except one or two girls every one went to college.\u00a0 Maha\u2019s class was to start only at 11am.\u00a0 Maha took her books for studying.\u00a0 She has to concentrate on studies\u2026.She tried to forget the previous day\u2019s ragging experience as well.\u00a0 Somehow she has to tackle the situation\u2026.she just made up her mind to forget the unwanted things\u00a0 and started deep brething exercises to overcome the frustration. She didn\u2019t want to allow the anger and other negative feelings to crowd out the\u00a0 positive feelings, as she feared that she may be swallowed up by her own bitterness or sense of injustice.\u00a0 As her mom always mentioned that forgiveness is the best way to keep everything go smoothly\u2026\u2026she thought that things would change slowly in the days to come\u2026<\/p>\n
Dadar\u2026.Ah\u2026.AMMA! \u2026.there came a louder bang of sound\u00a0 and somebody screamed\u2026.\u2019oh! my God\u2026I fell down and can\u2019t get up.\u00a0 Is anyone there?\u00a0\u00a0 Please come and\u00a0 help me to get up\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0 It was none other than Premi, who fell down in the bath room due to current failure.<\/p>\n
Maha rushed to bathroom\u2026.oh! poor Premi was really in bad shape \u2026.. all over her body was lather.\u00a0 Maha gave her shower, covered her with towel and assisted her in lifting her up\u2026<\/p>\n
Hm\u2026Premi could not step out as she felt acute pain in her knees.\u00a0 With the help of Suma and others, she was immediately\u00a0 taken up to hospital to have treatment as it was a fracture.\u00a0 It was Maha who helped her on time so gracefully!….<\/p>\n
when Premi got discharged from the hospital after a week,\u00a0 Maha helped her in many ways.\u00a0 Premi got moved and cried\u2026.\u2019Oh!\u00a0 Maha\u2026I am extremely sorry for all the trouble I had given!\u00a0 I am ashamed of my brutal behaviour\u2026..I learnt a biggest lesson from you.\u00a0 Hereafter, we will never treat anyone so badly\u2026.please forgive me.\u00a0 \u2026. You are really great as Maha means great too!\u2019\u2026.I cannot forget you forever! \u2018<\/p>\n
Gentle Maha caught hold of Premi\u2019s hands and said\u2026.\u2019oh, its nothing Premi.\u00a0 I have been practising the virtue of patience, though it was hard \u2026that\u2019s all.\u00a0 Thanks to my mom, who brought me up with morality and values.\u00a0 This is a lesson for me too! \u2026\u00a0 Let\u2019s be friends\u2019. And don\u2019t forget that we are here to study further to achieve the goal and for that we need to travel miles ahead\u2026.ok?\u00a0 Let us cross the miles in a friendly way so as to reach the destination safely.\u00a0 ok?\u2019\u00a0\u00a0 As if new blood got flourished , fresh\u00a0 Premi nodded her head positively!<\/p>\n
