When I was kidnapped....

 


My first year of college was in full swing. Today, I simply accept that I was dumb at that time. One of our lecturers entered the classroom. "Do you want to know who will be your class's representative?" he inquired.

"Yes," all of the students responded.

"So let's pick the most likely individual who can be your CR," he remarked.

"You all stand up," he ordered.

As all the students were standing in the classroom, he said, "So now, the students who scored less than 80% in the maths group can sit down."

Some students sat quietly.

After that, he said, "All students who scored 85% in the maths group can sit down."

Many of the students had taken a seat.

Now we were a few students standing in the classroom.

Everyone was as intrigued as I was.

Everyone was staring at us.

Actually, our class had students who scored below 90% in the maths group.

He then invited students who scored 86 percent, 87 percent, and 88 percent to sit down one by one.

After 88 percent, there were just two people left in the class, including me.

Finally, he asked both of us for our scores. So the other student was eventually asked to sit down.

"Most likely, you will be the class's CR," he said to me. "Congratulations."

He was correct. The next day, the list was presented on the board, and I was named the Class CR.

Suddenly, everyone began greeting me.

There was a notice that there would be an election for the general secretary of the student council of the college.

I read the notice and went to class as usual. Suddenly, two seniors entered, inquiring about me. "Listen carefully," they urged as they escorted me out of class. 

"You must vote for our candidate in the election so that you won't have any problems in college. And there's no need to talk to the other panel. "

I first assumed that they would be ragging me. I was really perplexed by what was going on. I just answered, "OK," and attempted to enter the classroom. But they stopped me and said, "We cannot take any chances. You'll be with us all day today and tomorrow. "

I was worried since they were seniors, and I still didn't understand why they were acting this way.

One of them also dropped me off at my house and said he'd be back tomorrow morning.

Then, much earlier in the morning, he said, "Good Morning! Come on, let's go."

"Good morning!" I said, "There's still time to go to college. Is it okay if I finish my breakfast? Will you have anything, sir? "

"There's no need for breakfast," he added. "We have made all the necessary arrangements. QaDon't be concerned. We will look after you. "

I had no choice but to accompany him.

He took me to a restaurant. We ate breakfast there.

He then led me to his room. I was really stressed since I had no idea why he had brought me to his room.

He said, "Don’t worry. Be comfortable. You must remain in this room just today till the voting time. "

"What?" I asked. "I have a class to attend."

"You do not need to attend the class today," he remarked. "We brought you here so that the other panel's representative could not contact you."

I was literally abducted so that I would not be able to meet the other GS applicant.

There were no cell phones at the time. I spent some time in his room reading various books.

He returned with a lunch box during lunchtime. We shared his lunch box. Then again, he went back locking me in the room.

He returned in the evening and drove me to college. His squad had totally encircled me, making it impossible for the other panel members to interact with me.

Finally, the election procedure began in the conference room, and I was freed from their custody.

They pushed me into the conference room.

I voted for his panel's nominee since I had no idea who the other guy was.

They thanked me now.

As a result of this, I was absolutely free of ragging throughout the college.

Sacrifice

Human life is incomplete without sacrifice. But if we have no other option than to sacrifice something is not actually a sacrifice. It is called helplessness. It has an altogether different system. Also, sacrifice is always to give something and not taking out the life of anybody or anything. When we have lots of options by which we can possess more than what we have or there is no need to donate something to somebody but still if we sacrifice or donate for someone’s betterment is actually a sacrifice.  As human beings, we live in society. So it is our duty to donate what society needed. This donation can be small or big but it should be as per society’s requirement.   Donation by pure heart gives the best result in terms of real happiness and inner peace.  Suppose you are walking on the road with a vegan sandwich in hand. And you see a very poor small orphan boy, very hungry crying for food, ask you the sandwich. You already had food. But you have taken ...

A Man of Principles

 I was employed by one company. The company had 50 employees. It is a partnership firm. They used to get job work from well-known OEM firms. Customers used to provide the raw materials, and we would process the parts. Then the customers would take back the finished products. In their logistic arrangements, the customer had a system for sending raw material as well as picking up processed material. So our job was to work efficiently because our efficiency was a direct profit to the owner. We used to have a very strict environment in the workplace. There would be a deafening silence when the owner arrived at the company. Nobody dared to say anything in front of him. Everyone used to be afraid of him. People who were new to the company initially despised him. But he had four old employees in whom he had great faith. They used to hold him in high regard. From them, I got to know that the owner is like a coconut. Though outside, he is an  extremely tough person,   he is a...

Humanity Pays Off

It was just another day. After a very hectic workload in the company, I was very much tired. At that time there were mobiles but not with common people. The Internet had started its influence and was capturing human beings like the British had captured India in history. Being an engineer, now I think you waste half of your youth life just thinking of job search, job change over, and its frustration. Unknowingly I started my journey on the same path.  Having tired though, I went to café… no..no not café coffee day. I went to an internet cafe to search and apply for jobs. This had become my daily routine to go to a cyber café and search for a job.  One fortunate day, I got a call for an interview. It was in some area in Pimpri Chinchwad. I was needed to go by city bus. As usual, I lied to my boss and got leave for health reasons. I went for the interview and it was good. But they told me that they will inform me results in one or two days. I was hopeful. With lots of th...
