Type 4 vs Type 1

Ranjit again.............No you guessed it wrong.I am not trying to prove my knowledge in the field of Medicine by explaining the different strains of the Swine flu virus but rather trying to remember the first signs of negativity which we experienced during our adolscence.

Let me make you comfortable.Typ4 and Type 1 refers to the housing status of an HAL employee which he or she is alloted as per his or her importance in the company or rather grading.As the name suggests Type 1 does not have the upper hand but infact less superior to Type4.A Type 4 house is spacious while a Type1 house is congested and resembles the car shed  of a  typical Type4 house......

I and most of the guys in our group belonged to the inferior one.(TYPE 1) I would not like to comment why we were there in the first place.Now slowly but surely this difference in houses which was rather materialistic somehow created a sort of empathy or rather fear for the persons living there.

We considered our fellow classmates who were from this so called privilaged TYPE 4 class as extraordinary.In fact when somebody would point   "Arey woh type 4 see aata hain" there would be sudden rush of negative energies within and "this is it ab kuch nahi ho sakta" kind of feeling...................

The conversations between a Typ4 and Type 1  guy would be rather one way with the TYPE 1 guy just agreeing to what the other guy had to say and all he could mutter with great difficulty  was   "barobar barobar " (Giving in even before the battle began....................)

I remember  the horrifying game of "Abha Dhobhi" (not sure what it meant) wherein  a particular team  has to hit the opposition with a ball (which was hard as a nut).The teams were deliberately formed on this discrimination so that we could vent out our frustrations and which we did with great pride.........................................

We never could get out of this hysteria throughout our entire school life......................................
