It was my first day to attend a class in any
university. Though I had been to
a couple of universities before being admitted
as a student of Mehran University of
Engineering and Technology, but I was still unaware
of the methods of teaching like all other students
of the same batch.
The first day was not a teaching day. Rather, it was
just like first of April or even more fun-filled
(seemingly dedicated to seniors of M.U.E.T). We, the
students of first year, were very nervous to talk
to anyone. Perhaps this was the very point to
attract the attention of seniors to tease us. Our
faces were like those girls afraid of eve-teasers.
We decided to walk to the department of one of my
friends, when we were left free after the orientation.
While we were walking along the road hiding ourselves
from every stranger in the valley of death, suddenly
a monster-like senior student, apparently of the final
year, stopped us and asked if we were of 07-batch.
Frightened, we nodded in affirmative. We thought this
was the climax but we were left after being skeptically
questioned about our IDs and background. He asked our
names one by one; asked each of us to sing any song or
dance with him. He said that we salute him whenever we
see him.
Thank God! We finally reached our destination.
But wait; we are now surrounded by giants of all sizes.
Every senior took each of us to make fun.
I was asked to push to move a tree.
I told them that I couldn’t do it but then
I was warned of the hostile consequences. I
pushed the tree in a fit of anger helplessly
cursing those devils. My friend was ordered to
dance. He was dancing. I was feeling sorry for
him but I couldn’t control my laughter! He was
also enjoying.
Well, this was all about being disgraced in a
university the very first day. At that time,
every one of us was cursing their fate but after
some time, we realized that this was not a serious
thing as many were in the same condition.
Though we were being made fun of, but we
enjoyed a lot too.
