Having completed my college studies and having spent close to two months at home enjoying my holidays, I opted for journalism as a major for my graduate studies. My college was pretty far from where I lived and traveling daily was not a possibility and hence opted to stay in the hostel before getting used to the place so that I could move into a paying guest facility.
I reached there in the afternoon and got settled into my room by the sunset. It was my first night in the campus hostel and I was called along with a few of my batch mates to the hostel mess by the seniors. Prevalence of hazing or ragging as it called in this part of the world remained at various levels in different places however much severe when it comes to hostels than anywhere else. There were ten of us present and we were asked to stand in a line next to each other and to introduce ourselves, by one of the six seniors who sat on the desks in front of us. I was on the left and it was my turn, which came first. I moved forward and started introducing myself, little bit about my background and my college life.
"This is not the way a girl introduces herself, tell your vital measurements". I was told in a stern voice one of those seniors and I had already started shaking a bit.
I replied "32-34-36" reluctantly.
Then one of them asked whether I was sexually active to which I shook my head negatively. She came closer to me and had a good look walking around me as I stood still with my head slightly bowing down.
