A narrative of a typical Aggressive Mokkai

To the uninitiated, Mokkai is essentially a result of a congregation of a few enterprising individuals who believe in dispensing accumulated knowledge, gossip and judgements over all and sundry issues.Enterprise never being in short supply at college hostels, these dens become the hotbed of Mokkai, aggressive at times. Sample this..

It's about 9 in the night and having developed an abhorrence for books (the academic ones), this guy is simply bored to death. Another guy with a similar dispensation joins our protagonist in  usual banter.Somehow the conversation rambles towards the latest Rajinikanth flick. A mention of Rajinikanth in a hostel room inevitably leads to Kamal Hassan, his acting ,dancing skills vis-a-vis Rajinikanth. The  typical response to which would be the holier-than-thou attitude of Rajini when it comes to affairs pertaining to women. Women always have it in them to make the male life meaningful and interesting and this situation is no different. As the argument gets heated, people start streaming in and the room resembles an over crowded town bus.The crowd gets organized into 3 groups, Rajini fans, Kamal fans and those who are having fun at the fan's expense. It is the later group that is to play a significant role later.By 12 midnight unparliamentary words and fisticuffs are exchanged. This is when the fun group (the last of the groups alluded to previously) offers to mediate(referred to as panchayat in these parts of the world). But slowly, the fun group realizes that they got themselves into a tricky situation. There are a variety of loyalties to think of. Department ,bench , lab group, hostel wing, birth location, close friend are some examples. The last thing that goes into the fun group's mind is to offer a solution to the problem. They seek divine intervention to wriggle themselves out of the situation. And the intervention does indeed come when the hostel warden who lives nearby pays a "surprise" visit. The reaction is electric, the group flees like electromagnetic waves emanating from a point. All that the warden could make out was that the waves were emanating from a singular point, the room where it all started, currently occupied by the protagonist

For the protagonist, the following days would be an ordeal, a thousand enquiries, a thousand engagements with the top echelons of the institution. For others the protagonist's ordeal would be a tea shop topic for mokkai , a definitely sober one at that...
