00:00Did that happen at I.D. Bombay?
00:01It was the first thing that happened at first year.
00:06Now you enter the campus as a fresher and you are allotted a particular hostel.
00:10And the allotment is often quite random.
00:12It depends on your entry number or your rank or some other random criteria.
00:16Maybe the letter your name begins with.
00:18And then you are supposed to be loyal to the hostel.
00:21And you are supposed to fight the other hostels down.
00:23What kind of basis of unity is this?
00:26Random.
00:27So random.
00:27And you are supposed to commit your energies to this.
00:30And you are supposed to really take the other hostels as your enemy.
00:33You are a kind of traitor if you didn't participate in inter-hostel wars.
00:38There were instances in which people were actually beaten up.
00:40You can find any random way to divide people.
00:44The ego is always looking to create boundaries.
