GPL....yaa u guessed it write this is about Gaa** pey laat...but as it is a public forum lets call it Guard pey laat...not offensive nd yet produces the same effect. Everyone has a guard, which has been called with different expletives in popular terms, Tashreef, Tohfa, Rozi....words are few to describe the soft spot.
But we are talking here what happens when 500 odd people of same batch are kept in collective set of hostels nearby and they need to celebrate. They celebrate the occasion by gifting GPL's to the man of the moment and it might sound strange but the effect intended is not by the hit, but the fear you have when a person steps on the podium around you to give that fearsome hit. That 5 seconds of anticipation are an eternity to comprehend and when a person like dorjee stands there to take the free-hit on ur guard...u can feel a wave of trauma travel down your spine. GPL's have been a pride of MNIT and they come on all happy occasions. People like doody, who have hundreds of people conglomerating on their birthdays and they, responding with a maniac laughter throughout while they are carted for a six with every kick. Then there are the whiners like saurabh arora and Mrinal, who just cry with every kick, that this was fiercely hit and this is not a way, we all are civilised and we should not do such things. Most amazing are people lik Allistair and Ritesh Bansal with whom you never know where the guard stops and the legs start so you would have everybody hitting them nearly everywhere from their knees to abdomen. Tall people like vibhor who take every hit on their knees.
Then there are the kick takers, who wait for such occasions to revel, most infamous are people like dangar who are your biggest friends for that day and who would get together to hit you at every occasion. I still remember Dangar had given interview of Infosys and frustrated after not getting selected, i thought it would be good to console him and take him away from there. A minute before , a guy who was frustrated after not getting selected had loosened his tie, shirt was filled with sweat and he was hitting ferocious GPL's to everybody who was selected. He was the same kid who has failed in an exam but he sees some kids playing marbles outside his school and he forgets his books innocently and starts playing with them. I was amazed with the dedication he was hitting everybody, (sigh) hope same dedication had been put in studies.
But i am still surprised why everybody wants to hit you at that spot, whats about it which makes it attractive to hit at. especially tell me you were born on that day, so you need to take that hit every year, were you born to be hit at your guard like that? and then you have got a new job, new life and for that you should take a hit on your guard?I am very sure if you are married and expecting a kid someday, just be aware you might have 5-10 guys from MNIT running around in the hospital to give you GPL....
