Ragging is a common complaint among freshers. I know most of us argue that ragging is a means to break the ice. It may be the case when the junior is a sport or when the ragging is within the limits. But the irony here is, that one can never determine how sport one is and never lay the rules for the maximum limit of ragging. In such cases, what must be opted? I would play it safe and say do away with ragging. If you want to break ice, do it over a cup of coffee or a movie. Make friends first and then play the pranks. Once you are friends, you will know how sport the other person is, and friendship will automatically set the limits for pranks! So do away with ragging and opt for much friendlier methods.
