[1]Guys avoid the campus on Rakhi —Picture for illustrative purpose
It is that time of the year when brothers and sisters celebrate their bond of love. However, if you are wondering about the sudden dip in the male attendance in your college or university campus then probably it is because of the same reason.
When it comes to college life, not many students are particularly fond of this festival, and they usually avoid contact with good-looking girls during this period.
Ankit Chopal, a student at Picasso Animation College, recalls a funny story around Rakhi and says, “Last year, on the day of Rakhi, we were forced to attend college for submitting our assignments. Our fellow female classmates arranged a surprise for us and asked us to stay back after classes. In the evening, all the girls from our class gathered and tied Rakhi to all the boys. It was hilarious because all the guys sulked at this announcement and started making excuses, whereas girls had a good laugh. By the end of the day I had around 25 rakhis tied on my wrist.”
Pooja Dhyani, a student at JMC, thinks it’s funny that during Rakhi guys disappear from the vicinity of girls college. She says, “There is one time in the year when you can find absolutely no eve-teasers around the campus. We hardly see any boys chasing girls, and those who still dare to, we make sure that we embarrass them by tying rakhis.”
Shubham Singh, a student at Hans Raj College, mentions that during the entire Rakhi week many boys bunk colleges because they don’t want girls to follow them with rakhis. He says, “In most of the co-ed colleges you’ll find the attendance of male students fall short on Rakhi day. Girls specially wait for this day to get even with boys who tease them all through the year. Guys hate to get rakhi sisters and that’s why they avoid coming to college during the entire period.”
