I dont understand why do boys fight like this…and why the heck do they form these groups…over here in our coll also there are regioanl groups and not only that groups based on casts too and many of them keep fighting like street dogs as if they have nothing better to do…

James: Thanks James. SN College, University College and Alleppey Medical College, no wonder you had encounters with the police :-). We never offered food to the policemen after that incident!

Paresh: Nice you liked the post. No, I am not competing with Silverine. I compete only when I am sure that I have a reasonably good chance to win :-). I think of myself as reasonably good, but I can’t hold a candle to her wit, creativity and imagination. So I don’t have to try; in fact, it would be ridiculous for me to try ;-).

Sorry for being late, Alexis.
This post was very funny and at the same time thought provoking. We also had many, many similar kinds of police encounters while I was in SN College, Kollam , University College, TVM and also in the Alleppey Medical College! But in none of these occasions, the police men were offered food from our mess!

Geo: Thanks Geo. The fights were there even before politics entered the CET campus, but it was between the students. But the fights became nastier and deadlier only after the entry of political parties, as each party used to bring thugs from outside.

Silverine: Thank you. After getting ragged during our first year and ragged our juniors in the subsequent years, we were under the false impression that we could face any kind of abusive language stoically and reply in the same language. But we were thunderstruck by the vocabulary and creativity of the policemen. Obviously, they are better trained and constant practice of what they have learned made them exponents in that art.

Yes, the last point you made is true. The campuses have become dangerous places with the entry of politics and on many occasions, innocent bystanders are being caught in the crossfire. Sad isn’t it?

I understood the title only after I got to the part where you explained the situation and then I was ROFL for sometime. I was telling my Dad about your post, he is also an Engg college product and he couldn’t help laughing himself. And the way you took care of the situation was too good. he he Hats off to your ingenuity !!!

There seems to be some kind of chemistry between the cops and engg students!!!

The rest of the acount sounds rather scary. This seems to be serious enmity. To think that students go to such lengths to defend their ideologies is rather unsettling.

Damn funny account otherwise

Nice read Alexis… :_)

When we were in CET, MH was dominated by Red Turks. Saffronites were mainly day scholars or most of them concentrated on the nearby hostels and paying guest accos.
The college union elections were always whitewashed by the Red-ies, but fights were always fought on equal grounds.
