Engineering days !!!

Engineering days were always fun. Infact, the first 6 months of my first year were the best days of my life. I dont think we (in all 4 guys) ever enjoyed so much. It was like we were set free after 18 years in prison.

We took a flat on rent and paid around 4000Rs a month for the place. It was a decent house with one door facing a non-stinky gutter and the other door facing a beautiful girls house. Yeah, it was kinda strange to leave the latter door open so we preferred the door facing the non-stinky gutter open always. Anyways, so we now had our own house and we could do whatever we want and felt like.
The typical boyish attitude and the typical freedom attitude started running through our veins. The starting days of the college was a pain. There was the fear of getting ragged by your seniors. And oh yes, it was pretty humiliating sometimes.
The first day of the college:
We somehow managed to drag ourselves from the bed. Everything was RUSH RUSH n RUSH post that. We ate, we prayed (so that no one catches us for the ragging session) and then we moved. We took some shortcuts as advised by the local people and reached the college in 10 mins, brisk walking was also a success factor. The first thing that I said when I saw the college was,' DAMM !! where the fuck have we landed?. Where is the freaking college?' We thought someone had cheated on us for the ragging session. What we saw was a row of 6 rooms excluding a room for the college principal. Out of the 6 rooms, one was occupied by 8 pigs and the other was occupied by approximately 7 goats who were merrily chewing on the green grass exclusively for them. Surprised !! Ask me about it.. hehe

Well, we missed our first class on the first day because of double-checks for the college address and 10-15 mins spent on the astonishing site of pigs and goats eating with students studying for engineering in the neighboring class. I have no clue what the government was upto !!
Anyways, returning back home wasnt very difficult as we bunked the last 2 lectures and came back home early before any of the seniors caught us. Actually, I was wondering where the seniors would be attending the lectures with the pigs and goats occupying 2 of the classrooms. I failed to understand the profit factor of the college here.

Caught and Ragged:
The second began smoothly. The incident happened while we were returning back from college. A group of third year engineering guys caught us trying to escape from our secret route. We were asked to come to a shop nearby. We had no choice but to walk down...
