90% disciplined

First year of engineering college. You are just out of school. Still not mentally out of school's disciplined environment. Fears of Ragging. Best time to make NCC mandatory for every first year student. Thats what was done there in the college. You were supposed to attend NCC twice a week. You would be given an NCC uniform. You were supposed to wear it during during your training. If you lose something then pay for it. Obviously not many of us liked being forced to do that.
But there was some silver linings too. You would get sweets, snacks everytime you attend NCC. Good enough for first year students. Then you would also get some money for washing ur uniform which was a bonus as dobhi used to charge us a monthly rate.
So everyone was attending their NCC training sessions as it used to carry some marks. Now came the Independence day. For the ID celebrations, there were special preparations, which meant extra sessions of NCC.
During the same period something else happened in University. Some profs' Strike or something. I dont remember exactly what. So classes were stopped for couple. Along came Rakshabandan. We, the First year students, were very very home sick. Any excuse to go home was good enough. So more than 2/3rd ran back home. But there were few unfortunates who could go back home. Now, these guys were pushed to attend the NCC classes. Most of the students were feeling cheated. They demanded punishment for all the guys who were at home. Teachers obeyed. When we came back, we came to know that 10 marks have been deducted from Disciplinary marks(YES, THERE WERE MARKS FOR DISCIPLINE. FULL 100 Marks EVERY YEAR) for the Mass Bunk. Top students from different colleges. Their marks getting deducted. That too for discipline. A letter sent to parents about the misconduct. Wow!!!
The Reaction! Shocks. Lots of emotions. Why should our marks be deducted? These students could have been awarded extra marks in NCC. Kind of boycott for the culprits. All the students(whose marks were deducted) went to Prof's house to apologize. Think of around 150 people raiding a prof's house. He actually got a bit scared seeing the Sheer numbers. Students begging for pardon. Requesting him NOT to deduct marks. Some even touching his feet. But to no use.
Dissappointed everyone went back.
End result: Most of us passed the first year being only 90% disciplined :) . It didnt end there. It also resulted in shortening the summer vacation by 10 days. Actually terrified by such an action, almost everyone from the batch attended NCC camp at Dugadda for 10 days which most of the students were planning to bunk.
