The “Awkward” approach

These people fall short of being in the “Bore” approach just because of the fact that they don’t do it on purpose. They are genuinely socially awkward people who have been pulled away from their comfort zones. If you ask them to dance, they will surely do it, but…trust me you don’t want to see them dance after all. They will give you awkward stares and draw blanks at questions like “What’s up?” Invariably, their silence would make them easier targets, and their awkwardness would make them more vulnerable. The “Too much information” approach The people who follow this approach tend to disclose everything they’ve ever said or done in their life, no matter how personal or outrageous that bit of information may seem to be. An excerpt from such a conversation would be “What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?”, “Sir, I had sex with a girl while my friend was passed out on the same bed beside me” Another equally inappropriate answer to the same question is “I used to be an LTTE agent”. At the end of this conversation, the senior is left flabbergasted, and you become the topic of discussion for days to come. The “Sexual” Approach This is the least tried and the most effective approach to ragging. Pretend that you’re a homosexual and give the senior genuine compliments on his dressing sense. The ragging session would surely not last long. But, you’re chances of scoring a girl in college might hit an all time low. But, hey, at least you escaped all the fun “interactions”, didn’t you?
