Thinking about ragging in the college days will still give goosebumps to many. It used to be really scary in my college days. The safety mantra we knew was that never be alone in the college, always stay in company of batchmates.
During a semester exam, I eventually discovered that all my day scholar batchmates had left for home that day and I was all by myself. There was a strong urge to pee during the exam itself. But I thought let me first complete the exam and then I will go for it. After the exam, seeing the scenario in the college, I decided to hold it further and let me first reach back home; but had no clue what laid in store for me.
Eventually I had a major road accident and suffered multiple fractures in my leg. Was in deep pain but the uneasiness in my bladder was more than in the legs. I kept waiting that the doctor will examine me and then allow me to visit the washroom to relieve myself. But to my utmost disappointment he said that you can not stand now and you have to do it lying in the hospital bed itself. FCUP isn’t it!
Kept wondering how is that even possible. The hospital ward boy got a container and asked me to go for it. It was really cumbersome and after couple of attempts, finally realising the fact that there was no other way out, I did it. Ooh what a relief! And a lesson well learnt – Never Hold It, whatsoever the reason may be!
