her family got her admitted in sUnshine school. she was greatly reluctant to go there as it was a girls only school. but her family thought it was a good choice as there are many incidents of rape in India, so it would be safe to get their daughter in a school where everyone was female, teachers, admin, peons etc.
Sunidhi had never done murga punishment before. in dubai its rare, unless your teacher is the Typical subcontinent type. her Indian tuition teacher used to punish her students murga, but only to boys.
she could never imagine herself in that pose. she always considered it a very inappropriate pose for girls. the butt sticking out, the thighs showing and very stressful. its not for girls,only boys, that too very bad boys, she had a firm belief.
now in Sunshine school she was shocked to see girls being punished murga. on her first day, some girls came late so they were made murga in the assembly right beside the stage. the thought that if she had been 2 minutes late she would have been right there with those murgis, made her whole body shiver. she shivered thorughout the asembly and she was still shivering when she went to class. her heart was pounding so fast that she felt she would have a heart attack.
after 2 days her time came. she could not answer a maths question asked by the murga maker. the murga maker had 4 girls now who had committted an offence so now it was time for punishment. it was sunidhi's birthday, and she had turned 17 today.
"All four of you get up from your benches."
Sunidhi's heart literally stopped. she hoped the earth would open and swallow her before she had to take this punishment. although the murga maker had said nothing yet to become murga, sunidhi knew what would happen. she felt dizzy with the thing happening in her heart. Sunidhi slowly stood up from her becnh, she was the last one to have stood. then the murga maker asked them to come up.
now Sunidhi's thinking had obscured. she could not think. her head felt heavy. she never kne humiliation could feel like this.
all four girls walked slowly in front of the class.
"face the class."
all 4 truned towards the class.
"murga banjao."
it was still difficult for Sunidhi to believe that those words were being spoken for her. it was an order, a punishemnt directed towards her.
Sunidhi did not notice when the othr girls had gotten into murga. she was still reeling from it all when a stick landed on her buttocks. then she went into murga quickly. it wasn't the big thing to go into murga. all she could focus on was what the girls were thinking sitting right in front of her. she was thinking hwat would her family and friends would think when they come to know. So this is what it feels like, she told herself. absolutely disgusting and humiliating. after 2 minutes her legs strated paining very badly.
murga maker usually made murga for 15 minutes. but to sunidhi she went on for 20 minutes. when they were asked to stand, her whole body was paining. her whole body pained for 3 days staright.
she had done her reasearch and found out why murga punishment is so rampant. so she prepared mentally for it. she tried it several times at home so that when she would be punished in school she could do it for at least 15 minutes. at first it was hell for even 2 minutes. one day she was practicing in her room and her cousin from dubai came suddenly in the room. she started laughing.
"what the hell you doing here?" sunidhi asked.
"we came on a surprise visit, hahaha, were you punished by your mother? hahaha" her cousin asked.
Sunidhi had no answer and tried to divert the topic and hide her red face.
Sunidhi had to face another dilema. her mother insisted that Sunidhi gives Hindi in her a-levels as well. "dont worry about the grade, just give, take tuition also."
Sunidhi had studied hindi last time in class 6. her Hindi was very poor.
but now when she did not had to worry about the grade she started taking Hindi classes in school as well as private tutions from a teacher in her neighborhood. to her bad luck or good luck, both the Hindi teachers were very very strict.
In school Sunidhi was punished every day as murga in hindi class as her hindi was very poor. the hindi teacher even named her murgi. everyday she had to do murga either outside the class, inside the class, on the desk, or outside the principals office. in Hindi class she was the only one who was punished. non of the other girls had to face punishment as Hindi was a very easy subject.
in tutions classes her expericnes were more personalized. she used to get her ear pulled after every 10 mintues. she had to do 100 uthak baithaks everyday while pulling her ears. she hated uthak baithak more than murga, because the Hindi teacher used to make the students sit fully and stand fully. they must have their buttocks touch their heels and their legs should become compltely startigth before going down again. and murga was given once a week. doing murga in hindi tuitions was less embarrassing as the hindi teacher made students murga in the corner of the room, where evryone had their backs, only the teacher could see there. the hindi teacher had only one diaglogue for this, " jao jake kone me murga banjao." and the person knew which corner the teacher meant, and they had to face the wall so that their buttocks is directly pointing towads the teacher. what was really embarrassing that she had to go through all this in front of students of class as low as 3. they used to laugh at her and make fun of her. all students were punished but she was punished more frequesnty and she was the eldest.
when the year progessed she started having probelms in maths also. so she asked her father to arrange for a maths tutor. she said she wanted to have a tutor who comes at her home and teaches her because she can only understand maths by a teacher if she is one to one with her. her father agreed and started looking for one. after a week her father informed her that he had found a tutor who is willing to come at their house to teach. and she will be starting tomorrow.
when the next day the tutor came, Sunidhi was shocked to see it was the Murga Maker from her school. the teacher who had given her the gift of Murga punishment on the first day of her 17th year. the teacher who had introduced her into this world.
