" Sir ragging is strictly prohibited. I will go complain to the principal about everyone here and you especially for encouraging it."
" We are not ragging you. Just a punishment for checking out the professor. Am I right Sir?? " Nitesh ,the senior said
" Exactly." Vikram Sir said.
Is he not doing this purposely?? Come on many girls sight him including seniors. Then why punish me alone.
Class motham avaruku support ah vey nadandhukudhey
(The whole class works in favour of him)
"Sir please give the keys to me. I need to go" I said with strict face.
" ok.. so the punishment for you is , stand only on your right leg, hands stretched to either side of you and recite 10 times ' All male professors are my brothers', then hop from there to last bench with one leg and get the keys" a senior akka gave me the instruction.
No way I will call Adhi sir as my bro.
I denied it and sort help from Vikram sir. But that cruel and cunning hearted guy, was all smiles , sitting and enjoying the ragging that I am undergoing here.
He was circling the keys in his index finger , sitting lethargically. He maintains this strict demeanor only to us First year. Not to the seniors I guess. I could see everyone behaving so casually with him.
Nee sonna nan seyyanama? (Why would I do what you say?)
I thought and stood without responding anything. I tried to go but the seniors forbid me from doing that.
Author: I guess it is better to go with Vikram's POV from here.

She stood there bravely not doing anything. But I know very well what to do to make her agree for the punishment.
"Nithila.. you are the only person here who knew Tamil right? Do one thing. Go to my place. In my draw, there is an imposition paper. It is Harini's. Can you bring that here and translate what is written in it? I don't know Tamil. so help me translate it " I said with a wicked smile.
Definitely she might have had a mini heart attack hearing what I said.
"Sir.. Sir ..please sir" she pleaded.
"It is about Adhi sir. Am I right Harini?" I asked her playfully.
"Ok sir.." Nithila was very much ready to do and decided to go open the door more enthusiastically.
"akka.. akka. vendam ka please ka.. " (akka please don't do that , I will recite) Harini stopped her and looked at me in pleading way.
Does she think I will let her go that easily? Her antics would not work with me. Hence I sat there with a platonic face raking my hair with my fingers. Its hard to control my laugh and I looked elsewhere. I turned back again to her with a serious face.
" She has written something about Adhi sir. I even saw my name in that. Since I don't understand Tamil I want you to translate it. " I said to Nithila.
" No sir it was all song lyrics. ' adhi andham iladavaney' meaning Lord Shiva the one who does not have form or origin of source. " Harini sang the line with hands raised upwards as if she was praying.
What an actress she is? She is so fast in coming up with explanations.
" What about my name? " I shot another question. Let me see what answer she has got.
