Well i m certain ,most people are aware that ragging has been banned from college campuses in India and is a punishable offence just like "pickpocketing".
My personal experience is that the tougher the grind ,the more friendly / comfortable u bcom wid dat senior. after all , u did give him the respect and ego boost by actually undergoing the ragging. he ll be gud to u l8r yeah .....this is the gud ol truth.
But there s another truth.Eventhough things turned out fine as time passed ,u may have also become a ragger urself.....if u had a difficult experience ,it ll always leave a bitter taste in ur mouth...blech ...yuck...ewwwww .most of us would be rather embarrased about recounting it to some 1. certainly not the best initiation into college life after a struggle in transiton from school. the trend in foreign universities is exactly the opposite btw.every1 s super-nice to u if ur a freshman.u get my point.lets bring a smile on someone s face.lets make that a habit infact.it establishes deeper bonds.and that really gains u respect and ego boost in the long and short run.
