Nair Craziness Revisited

Here’s recounting some of the craziness we’ve accomplished during MBBS..  recreating a legend of madness    

                                            

1.  Going to essel world on 28/11.. 2 days after terrorist attacks .cz exams were postponed and of course there were no security issues at a water park ! !

2. Trying on all of Seema Paliwals (aka voldemorts) clothes before giving for dry cleaning .. we thought we were avenging ourselves of her ragging.

(Seema Paliwal was our terrible Anatomy lecturer and hostel warden who took an anti ragging stand in public but thought it was ok for the 1^st year MBBS students to be her servants)

3. Paliwals eggs and bread fiasco- when all of us forgot to fetch them for her, she cornered us in hostel corridor, and the hostel cat kept pouncing out of my hands at that very moment so I was woefully distracted.. She blurted out stuff like “ I have to go without dinner now !! in her exaggerated manner… understandably, she left in a huff.

4. Senior’s Ragging-the creative and fun part - 
Chavanni Athanni- 
Weird dances ( on sultry songs), weird acts( dont ask)
Butt writing ( Aish was an expert with a lot of requests for once more !!)  
Being prohibited to smile or God forbid laugh during he ragging or wed have to do the ritual of burying our laughter, complete with make believe spade etc 

Being openly reprimanded for our lack of taste, dressing sense and common sense in general

When Manyu (very red faced) approached us for the girls "vital stats"( their term for the girls bodily measurements) .. he convinced us he would be thrashed if he dint get them .. so much so that we quickly wrote them down n gave it to him .. This was the stupidest philanthropy we've ever done !

The Saurabh Jain saga- We were threading phool mala together  during some festival decoration  during which we spoke not one word.. he was later quizzed(more like badgered ) by seniors about which girl he liked .. poor guy took my name .. of-course the news reached me multiplied tenfold ( via via seniors) and then seniors convinced him how we were made for each other .. was an unfortunate thing for  him cz he continued to believe it all through MBBS.. 

5. Ragging our own CET colleagues posing as seniors when we were bored

6. Wearing red, all 5 of us, on Valentines in 1^st year, and entering the class later than usual so we could get noticed .. expecting whistles and cheer , instead being met with cold indifference. Our classmates were so dead !

7. Checking out Venugopal’s wardrobe daily ..colourful prints that would put any drapery to shame..

8. Speaking of Venugopal .. convincing him there’s a USMLE exam for hospitals on the moon

9. Convincing our poor CET batchmates that we regularly watched Bhojpuri movies in that shady theatre nearby..

10.We were notorious, these girls who strutted about all day doing nothing useful with their time.. least of all study.. and then read IMPs in 2 days .. and passed respectably .. wev even been asked if we had some secret notes etc .. no darling it’s just that were brilliant :P

11.Back to Ragging our batchmates .. crank calls to Anand Singh asking him to sing “Johnny Johnny” ... and then sing it in chorus as he enter the class the next day .. poor guy !

12.1 st April mandatory calls .. we would do a favour and call each other’s parents and fool them about some weird random stuff .. and feel really good about it .. Aish and I were the top people in this area .. any gibberish could spout from our mouths that particular day..we could fool someone with” arey wo chat se Gir gayi aur pair toot Gaya “ How was it funny, I now wonder.

13. Running off to Worli sea face or marine drive at the first hint of rains .. and then cursing the clouds if it stopped raining the moment we reached the sea-face..

14. Bunking lectures and watching Dilwale Dulhania at Maratha Mandir at 11 am in the morning with all the other Rikshawale( ticket -Rs 20)..

15. Lining up on 1st of every month for Gelato ice cream .. who cared if it was the grossest flavour..it was free wasn’t it !

16. Going gaga over chip butty and theobroma brownies .. and MOD ! ..

17. Me playing the customary happy birthday on my violin and u guys trying hard to look appreciative ,.

18.The famous diets – Wonder soup,(collective hostel effort), warriors diet( eating nothing during the day and visiting a bakery at night) !!u guessed it . It was Aish’s special modified diet  ..

19.Hilarious yoga session: Shilps and Aishu’s funny hyperventilation and twisted version of “anurom vilom”. It had to be seen to be believed

20.Shilps circulating a gossip about me on her private gossip network and forwarding the message to me as well !!

21. Shilpis AGHAST look when she discovered she was the last one to hear about Sneha’s latest chakkar..an impossible event for our local radio ! 

22.Khushboo di being christened as Nani(some random reason) and it fit her well cz she had so many nani waale advices and nuskhe for us all the time ..

23.Having a ball on Sari day, doing sultry poses ( Aish’s waist tattoo on display) and then putting on the lone disc light( it was so destined to be there) and dancing (sultry again) ;P ..

24.Going in the pursuit of alcohol to Bandra (all girls) with Donx being our non drinking leader.. we felt so adventurous !

25. Playing holi in hostel (awesome fun) and topping it off with bhang(the real stuff) with aish going berserk in a second( the usual) and the rest being history..

26. Salsa classes and meeting weird gujju guys there in pursuit of eligible girls ..attending Sant uncles high society events and luncheons as a bonus …teehee

27. All 5 of us enrolling for violin classes, where Donx n Charul fought with their bows( new weapon!) . It sounded like 20 donkeys braying when we played ..nevertheless my dear friends slowly dropped out till I remained .. the lone soldier braying away 

28.The “peace pact “ between Charul and Donx .. cz there was just too much physical violence and it was worded carefully and read out before an audience but then ended in them hitting each other and the pact flew right~ out of the window! .

29. The “Dhoom tana” dance with Saurabh jain pairing up with Donx .and sagar with Sneha .both ladies wincing every time they were in close proximity ( whew !  Wev come a long way ! ).,

31. Also her TRIPLE S wisdom “ Sundar, Susheel, Sanskari .. and how to fool ur Sasuma into thinking ur all of the above ..

32. The daily encounter with the Nair waiters -Shabir and Nazrul( who incidentally had a Ghajini cut) who floored everyone with their attitude .. and I would pester them with my uncertainty about my order .. it was food after all !                                 

33.Me being on Mohite sirs hitlist for sleeping during his class.. so much so that not only me but the person next to me was also regularly sent out .. no surprise that no one wanted to sit next to me anymore ..                                                                           The next time Sonali Shinde sat next to me I was very awake.. she fell asleep and got kicked out !

34. The meeting of 60 odd proud mbbs students and their parents called in for short attendance met by a very stern Mohite sir but turning into a get together full of cheer

35.The day me and Aish wore fluorescent orange tops while visiting Komal di in the hospital.. and we became the seniors collective laugh-stock ( we were still freshers so we could be treated like dirt anytime) and berated us non stop for ur lack of sense about how to dress.. blah blah … and we were just wondering what crime had we committed

36.Mistaking one of our batchmates as Tonamec waiter and giving order .. and he being polite and bringing it also … sweet guy  ( In our defence, it was only just the first week , also we were quite stupid)

37.Aish’s relentless ragging and hilarious flirting with Biren and Piyush .. unfortunately, Piyush thoda senti ho gaya

38. Aish’s excuse of “Mera pyjama phat Gaya hai” and scampering off to get out of meeting Manyu..

42. Charul’s universal” nuts” expression for “ terrorists! ” and “crazy old women with knives”. U couldn’t ruffle a feather of that woman  .. can’t blame her.. shes always been a resident of LaLa land :D

43. Anand Singh’s “mommas baby” display at the Ganeshpuri posting with baskets of goodies arriving for him every week … and Sneha’s

44.The epic laughavalanche hostel nights .. we wouldnt be drunk or high ..some randomness would kick off and likely last all night when we would roll on the floor laughing and  the walls would reverbate with laughter

45. We were using to getting Neha’s (a particularly nasty hostel senior who lived on the same floor) regular SMS to keep quiet often .. it became second nature to her so that we would get those messages even when we weren’t at the hostel ! ..

46.Donx s description of condom(quizzed about it during ragging) as something that is mixed in the milk and drunk on wedding night .. then being tutored about *** by our very concerned seniors .

48.The legendary Hitesh Mangesh aka “Changu Mangu” as we nicknamed them . My surgery seniors as an intern and their hilarious adventures ..

50.I remembered that carrot Halwa which id got from home n got spoiled . N u guys followed me to the dustbin to see I didn’t eat it.. you just didn’t trust me with food !

51."Tedhi naak" and his proposal .. he was just starting to say something akin to the three scary words when I cut his speech short and just said “ just let it be sir” and backed out safely  .. God it was ruthless , but  u can judge his likeability from the name we had given him collectively        

                    

52. Shobhits proposal at the Pani Puri ki dukaan “where It was a no again sadly .. everyone later maintained “ Kharaab pani puri khilayi to naa ho gayi “

Aish’s contribution
