The Medhak Fragile Empire

The Medhak institution wears its slogans like masks — Integrity, Excellence, Transparency, compassion, empathy, welfare— but beneath them festers betrayal. Employees who have given their sweat and years are denied their rightful medical claims, their survival gambled away by a system that calls cruelty “policy.” Lives are endangered, dignity stripped, and suffering mocked.

And the most brutal irony: the medhak himself survives only on fragile health. His cupboards rattle with medicines, his prescriptions gallop in dozens, his survival courtesy of close relatives who arranges medical assistance for him. Yet, the very lifeline he clings to is the one he denies others. He mocks the sick while drowning in pills, ridicules the needy while depending on constant treatment. This hypocrisy is not grotesque alone — it is lethal.

Bloated with arrogance, rash in judgment, corrupt in practice, and mentally unstable in his whims, he mistakes chaos for brilliance, inefficiency for complexity, and betrayal for leadership. His dance is not progress but delusion, a grotesque jig performed over the despair of others.

But arrogance never escapes justice. Thrones are borrowed, not owned. Power is fleeting, not eternal. The same chair that props up his swollen belly has swallowed countless before him, each convinced of immortality, each erased without a sound. His medicines may prolong his days, but they cannot shield him from the truth: one day, the applause will fade, the dance will stop, and his name will dissolve into dust. If any employee or their dependent suffers harm due to this draconian and vicious disregard for legitimate entitlements, the medhak and his five-year coterie shall find no place to hide. Titles and borrowed authority cannot shield cruelty forever. Power may silence voices today, but when justice awakens, it strikes without noise and without mercy.

A Mockery of Institutions

In a grand corporate institute, marble floors gleam and glass walls echo with slogans of Integrity, Transparency, and Excellence. The employees walk past these words every morning, heads bowed, hearts heavy, pretending to believe in what the walls preach.The institution calls itself a temple of ethics, but its gods are greed, vanity, and fear.

At the center of this empire stands a short, bloated figure — a frog in a tailored suit, his neck thick, his belly round, his grin wide and cruel. He dances in the boardroom, snapping his jeweled fingers, laughing at the misery he orchestrates.Around him, people bend, plead, and break. Some are crushed under the weight of endless paperwork; others are bound by invisible ropes of silence. A few still cry at their desks, mourning the death of fairness. The frog’s laughter fills the air like a anthem of hypocrisy. He calls it progress, calls it freedom, calls it leadership. The more he dances, the more the institution applauds.

The irony is suffocating. The frog’s dance is not celebration; it is mockery. His rhythm beats to the sound of suppression, his joy feeds on the despair of others. The institution that once claimed to nurture truth now worships deceit.The façade stands proudly, but beneath its shadow, values rot. And when the applause fades, the frog still dances — not for the people, not for the values, but for himself. His grotesque jig is the anthem of hollow values, a performance staged to disguise decay. The employees watch in silence, knowing the music will end one day, but the stench of betrayal will linger long after the last note dies.

Disclaimer:
This entire nine-episode series — The Vice Chancellor Who Could Never Be Professor — is a work of fiction coupled with satire and imagination. Any resemblance to persons living or dead, places, or institutions is purely coincidental and unintended. It is crafted to highlight the absurdities of governance in educational institutions through sarcasm, parody and metaphor.

Episode 9:
"With Episode Nine, the curtain falls on Season One. Yet friends should not feel disappointed. As long as incapable persons remain at the helm like in lotus university, new seasons will write themselves — second, third, and beyond. For people at large, and stakeholders in particular, satire becomes a way to vent anger, to expose misdeeds, and to remind us that incompetence dressed as authority is never beyond ridicule. The saga may pause here, but the story of absurdity in academia is far from over."

At the center of this finale is the medhak aka road roller VC’s obsession with luxury. Dissatisfied with his perfectly fine six-to-seven year old official car, he diverted student funds to purchase a ₹15 lakh SUV. This indulgence was not only unnecessary but also a direct violation of government austerity measures. It was a cruel joke on the student community, who still struggle with unreliable internet, unsafe drinking water, poor infrastructure, and inadequate hostel facilities. The VC who once lived a donkey life in private organisations, where every penny was accounted for, now intoxicated by unchecked authority, splurges on vanity wheels while classrooms crumble.

The extravagance continued with the annual press meet. Instead of using the university’s own campus, the VC staged his show at an expensive city venue. Prestige masqueraded as necessity, while resources were squandered in pursuit of borrowed grandeur. It was less about communication and more about display — a desperate attempt to prove that a man who could never be professor could at least play emperor for a day.

But the most biting satire lies in the betrayal of classrooms themselves. Four classrooms, energized barely ten years ago, were decommissioned and handed over to a private organisation under the disguise of establishing a “centre of excellence.” One wonders: what kind of excellence disbands its own teaching spaces in a time of acute shortage? To add insult to injury, one classroom was converted into a so-called meditation centre. The irony is rich — why not build these centres in unoccupied spaces, instead of dismantling the very rooms where education breathes? In a university already starved of teaching facilities, this decision symbolized not excellence but exorcism of common sense.

Meanwhile, the reservation policy, sacrosanct in government institutions, was treated with contempt. Rosters meant to be circulated for suggestions and objections were kept hidden, as if transparency were a burden. Silence became the VC’s governance model — a WhatsApp administration that thrived on secrecy.

And finally, the few loyal courtiers facing FIRs in separate cases, remain untouched. The VC refused to relieve them of their official assignment, shielding them with silence. The corridors buzzed with the idea that the VC’s entourage mirrored his own peculiar preferences — a whisper that said more than any official statement ever could. Students speak in hushed tones of Edestein Files — documents said to exist, waiting for the right moment to surface.

The curtain falls with the chorus:

"मेंढक वीसी टर्र‑टर्र करे, शिक्षा का दीपक बुझा दिए!"

Uniforms of Honour, Not Costumes of Conceit

Across campuses and institutions, one often encounters a peculiar obsession: individuals who delight in wearing uniforms that mimic those of the armed forces. They strut about as though epaulettes could elevate their stature, forgetting the most basic truth — these are not celebratory costumes, not decorative garments for vanity fairs. They are skins earned with sweat, discipline, and blood, worn by those who have stood guard at borders, braved bullets, and carried the weight of a nation on their shoulders. To wear such attire casually, without having earned it, is not homage — it is parody. It is the difference between a medal pinned after battle and a trinket bought at a market stall.

In certain institutions — let us call them Student Wings or any such name — honorary ranks are sometimes conferred. These are symbolic gestures, acknowledgments of the institution’s role in nurturing discipline among youth. They are not earned commissions, not the result of passing through the crucible of war or the rigour of military academies. Yet, some self-important souls parade these honorary titles as if they had stormed enemy trenches or commanded battalions. Their delusion is almost comic — until one remembers the real soldiers who stand in silence, watching others play dress‑up in borrowed glory.Such people should pause and reflect.

A uniform is not a costume; it is a covenant. It binds the wearer to ideals of discipline, selfless service, dedication, and mutual respect. These values cannot be stitched into fabric or pinned onto a chest. They are lived, not worn. They are forged in the early mornings of drill, in the sweat of parades, in the humility of saluting another, and in the quiet dignity of service without expectation of applause.

If such individuals truly possess love and affection for these uniforms, let them undergo the rigorous training of the armed forces — let them earn the right to wear what they admire. For only through discipline, endurance, and sacrifice can one befit the honour of that attire. Otherwise, they have no moral right to embrace these pious uniforms, which symbolize not vanity but valour.

But vanity is a stubborn parasite. When an honorary rank becomes a badge of arrogance rather than acknowledgment, the very spirit of the students wing is betrayed. The institution was never meant to produce peacocks in borrowed feathers, yet here they are — puffing their chests, mistaking borrowed cloth for earned honour.The irony is sharp: those who flaunt uniforms without earning them often lack the very qualities the uniform symbolizes. They crave recognition but shun responsibility. They demand respect but forget that respect is not sewn into epaulettes — it is earned through conduct. They are like actors who mistake the costume for the role, forgetting that the audience can always tell the difference between performance and reality.

🌟 Dedication to the Armed Forces of India

Let us, therefore, draw a line between pretenders and protectors.
The Armed Forces of India do not wear uniforms for vanity. They wear them as skins of sacrifice, stitched with courage, dyed in discipline, and adorned with the silent weight of responsibility.Every star, every stripe, every badge is not decoration but testimony — testimony to nights spent on icy borders, to days endured in scorching deserts, to lives risked so that others may live in peace.

To them, the uniform is not cloth but covenant. It is a promise to the nation, a pledge of service, a symbol of honour. It is worn not for applause but for duty.And so, while pretenders may strut in borrowed feathers, let us bow our heads to the real guardians — the soldiers, sailors, and air warriors of India. Their uniforms are not costumes of conceit, but skins of sacrifice, and they deserve not imitation but reverence.

“To the brave hearts who guard our skies, seas, and soil — this tribute stands as a humble salute to your unwavering spirit, discipline, and sacrifice.”

As I have promised, I am bringing the episode eight of my nine episode satire series that begins the OTT‑style saga: “The Vice Chancellor Who Could Never Be Professor”—nine episodes , each peeling back another layer of absurdity from a university that redefined excellence as outsourcing and governance as WhatsApp administration.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This is a purely imaginary satire. Any resemblance to persons living or dead, place or institutions is entirely coincidental and unintended. This is the work of fiction.

EPISODE 8: The Lotus Wilts — Chaos, Cadre & the Cracks of Rebellion

Lotus University had endured corruption, incompetence, and administrative acrobatics for nearly two years, but the moment finally arrived when the institution began to wilt under the weight of its own absurdity. After making sure his re‑employment as Lotus of Excellence—despite his tenure having ended—the Vice Chancellor unleashed a series of decisions so bizarre that even the walls of the university seemed to groan in despair.

Flexible Cadre: The Retirement Scheme of Excellence

The VC declared that the long‑established, government‑mandated recruitment rules—considered sacrosanct for decades—were suddenly “obsolete.” In their place, he introduced the Flexible Cadre, a system defined by: No age bar, No proper reservation roster, No academic benchmarks, No transparency, No accountability

Yet there was one unmistakable objective: A plan to recruit 400 new faculty, each expected to “contribute” generously to the VC’s Retirement Corpus of Excellence. What made the proposal even more farcical was that no department‑wise teaching load or actual requirement had been mapped before announcing this mega‑recruitment.The faculty whispered:
“Flexible Cadre? It’s not flexible — it’s bend‑and‑break cadre.”

Respect for the VC was non‑existent in the university, but he didn’t need respect. He needed signatures, stamps, and “processing fees.”

🗑️ Written Test Scrapped — 10,000 Identical Applications

To accelerate his retirement fund, the VC scrapped the written test—the gold standard followed by UPSC, State Public Service Commissions, and all government bodies. He proudly announced: “We will shortlist 10,000 applications purely on merit.”

But every application had:

The almost same API score, same qualification, same research exposure, same publication pattern, same template CV downloaded from the same website

Shortlisting became a cosmic comedy.The ERP portal blinked helplessly:
“Shortlist Failed — Try Again After Enlightenment.”

Students, staff, and faculty whispered: “This is not shortlisting — this is lottery‑listing.”

🥵 Colonial Parking: Shade for the Privileged, Sunstroke for the Rest to assert authority, the VC issued a new decree:

Reserved Parking for Privileged Lotus Holders.A golden signboard declared:
“Elite Lotus Zone — Others Keep Away.”Even senior and elderly faculty were forced to park far away in the 46‑degree heat, while the privileged few enjoyed shade, nectar leaks, and royal treatment.

📝 Spot Evaluation in the Hall of SuffocationInside,

faculty were herded into a hall so cramped it could barely hold half the crowd, Yet it was declared the official venue for:“Spot Evaluation of End Term Answer Scripts.
”The hall had: Under‑capacity AC, Insufficient chairs, No ventilation

The VC called it “Academic Rigour.”The faculty called it “Slow Torture.”

💻 E‑Filing Without Scanners, Internet, or Logic

To “modernize” the university, the VC introduced E‑Filing. But there was a catch: No scanners, No reliable internet, No working computers, No electricity for long hours, No generator during power cuts

Faculty were instructed to “upload all documents promptly,” even though the only functioning device on campus was the VC’s personal photo printer—busy printing his photograph everywhere.The faculty whispered:
“This is not e‑filing. This is e‑suffering.”

💸 Remuneration Stopped — In the Name of IIT

Faculty remuneration for exam duties and evaluation was abruptly stopped. The justification?“This is IIT practice.”But Lotus University had:1/10th of IIT’s facilities, 1/20th of IIT’s salaries, 1/100th of IIT’s governance

Moreover, students were charged examination fees. If faculty were not being paid for exam duties, why was the fee being collected at all?
The faculty whispered: “We are IIT only in torture, not in infrastructure.”

🧘 Meditation Centre: Wellness After Harassment

To “heal” the tormented community, the VC inaugurated a Meditation Centre—a dim room with cracked walls and broken mats. A poster featuring the VC’s photograph proclaimed: “Meditation after harassment is good for mind and soul.”
It became the university’s cruelest joke: First they suffocated you, then they asked you to meditate on your suffering.

🔥 THE TURNING POINT: The OSD Falls

After months of humiliation, suffocation, and administrative cruelty, something finally snapped.The aggrieved faculty—exhausted, dehydrated, unpaid, and pushed to the brink—rose in rebellion. The long‑defunct faculty association was revived.They fought tooth and nail, armed with: Evidence, EmailsCirculars, Minutes of meetings, And the one thing the VC feared most: unity

Their target was the VC’s most loyal enforcer—the OSD to the VC, the courier of every absurd order.

And then—they succeeded.The OSD was denied extension after repeated complaints.It was the first crack in the VC’s empire.The faculty whispered:
“If the OSD can fall, the Lotus can wilt.”

🚫 Ward Quota Scrapped

The VC then scrapped the Ward Quota, which he intended to manipulate to benefit a chosen few at the cost of meritorious students.This was the true victory of students, who took this issue to highest quarter

🤡 The Great Lotus Meltdown

In a meeting that will be remembered for years, the VC openly declared that a world‑renowned senior professor—respected globally—had “made his position awkward both inside and outside Lotus University” by exposing the VC’s misdeeds. It was the moment the university realized that the VC hollowness & incompetence has ruined not only the image of the university but the future of young faculty and students too.

🚫 Outsiders on 5‑Year Tenure Take Over
Rattled by the OSD’s removal and fearing a full‑scale revolt, the VC surrounded himself with outsiders—individuals with no history with Lotus University, no understanding of its culture, no accountability to its community. They arrived on 5‑year “tenure” contracts, a term so elastic it could mean five years or five minutes. They became the new gatekeepers of chaos.

EPISODE 8 ENDS — THE LOTUS TREMBLES
The cracks had appeared.
The faculty had awakened.
The VC’s empire was no longer invincible and he had begun to shake.

As I have promised, I am bringing the seventh episode of my nine episode satire series that begins the OTT‑style saga: “The Vice Chancellor Who Could Never Be Professor”—nine episodes , each peeling back another layer of absurdity from a university that redefined excellence as outsourcing and governance as WhatsApp administration. There has been a delay in bringing this episode as I was trying to identify characters of famous novel of Raag Darbari scripted by Shri Lal Shuklaji, however, I couldn't find suitable matches. I am still working on it.

Episode 7: Cockroach University — The Immortal Institution

Lotous University had collapsed under the weight of its own academic and financial corruption, endless postponements, and failed leadership. But corruption, like cockroaches, never dies. Out of its ruins emerged Cockroach University, where infestation was not a nuisance but the cardinal principle of academic mismanagement.

At the grand unveiling of the Vice Chancellor’s new banner, cockroaches crawled across the glossy print. Instead of embarrassment, the administration proclaimed: “See, even nature worships our leader!” The cockroaches were later awarded honorary degrees in Public Relations and Service.

The library shelves were empty of books but overflowing with biscuit crumbs. Students came not to study but to watch cockroaches scuttle across abandoned registers. The librarian proudly announced: “Knowledge is temporary, but crumbs are eternal.” Their “research” consisted of chewing through outdated papers and producing bite‑sized annotations.

The Chief Cockroach, however, faced a looming crisis: in two years his term would end, leaving him unemployed. To avoid irrelevance, he devised a meticulous plan to secure re‑employment as “Cockroach of Excellence.” In a grand ceremony, he stood on a podium garlanded with crumbs, raised his front leg, and took an Oath of Infestation: “I swear to infest, delay, and devour forever.” His clan cheered, ensuring his perpetual survival in office.

Every evening, cockroaches marched in formation across the canteen floor. The puppet Student Union President organized a Cockroach Parade and called it a symbol of discipline. The cook sprinkled sugar to keep the parade in rhythm, and the administration hailed it as the Annual March of Academic Excellence.

During exams, students submitted answer sheets only to find cockroaches had chewed half the pages. The invigilator smiled: “Partial answers show humility — full marks!” Soon, students began leaving crumbs on their papers deliberately, hoping for higher grades.

An Accreditation Team arrived to evaluate the university. Escorted straight to the Vice Chancellor’s photo gallery, they ignored classrooms and labs. Admiring the shiny cockroach trails, they declared: “Cockroach University is a model of innovation, where insects and humans coexist in academic harmony.” The rating awarded was A++ for Natural Integration and International Excellence.

The cockroach factions fought bitterly over who controlled the annual Festival of Infestation. Eventually, they agreed to release cockroaches ceremonially into classrooms as a blessing. Students were told: “These insects are your true mentors — they thrive in darkness, just like knowledge here.”

At the graduation ceremony — staged entirely in imagination — students were handed empty folders while cockroaches crawled across the stage. The Chief Guest praised the event: “These graduates may not have degrees, but they have mastered survival skills.”

The new academic aristocracy was paraded proudly. The Professor of Practice was a cockroach who specialized in crawling across official files, his “practice” being the art of delaying signatures until crumbs were offered. The Emeritus Professor was an ancient cockroach, celebrated for surviving every pesticide campaign; his lectures consisted of silence, followed by applause. The Consultant was a slick outsider who advised monetizing infestation: “Sell cockroach tours to visitors — call it experiential learning.” These titles proved that corruption could be dressed up as scholarship.

At a campus rally, a drunken speaker delivered a speech in broken language mixed with cockroach clicks. The crowd roared in approval, calling it “authentic insect democracy.” His nonsense was recorded and archived as official policy.

Students whispered bitter jokes in the corridors: “This is not a university, it’s a cockroach colony.” “Our academic and social events are postponed, but the cockroaches are always updated.” “We are enrolled in Cockroach University, not Lotous University.” Every event was postponed — except the nightly infestation rituals, the only tradition never delayed.

As cockroaches scuttled across the Vice Chancellor’s photo, someone whispered: “Lotous University decayed, but Cockroach University thrives as its immortal avatar.” And from somewhere, like a moral echo, the Gita resounded: “अधर्मो विनश्यति, धर्मो विजयी भवति।” — Adharma will perish, and Dharma will prevail. But the cockroaches laughed. For them, corruption was not perishable — it was eternal, crawling from one institution to the next, always finding crumbs to feed on.

As I have promised, I am bringing the sixth episode of my nine-episode satire series that begins the OTT style saga: “The Vice Chancellor Who Could Never Be Professor”—nine episodes, each peeling back another layer of absurdity from a university that redefined excellence as outsourcing and governance as WhatsApp administration.

Disclaimer: This is a purely imaginary satire. Any resemblance to persons living or dead, place or institutions is entirely coincidental and unintended. This is the work of fiction.

🎬 Episode 6: “The Self-Obsessed VC: And the Postpone University”

The Vice Chancellor of Lotus University was a man who, in truth, had never been considered fit even for a junior faculty post at the Lotus University. He had a résumé so light it could be mistaken for a visiting card. But thanks to the clout of an immediate family member, he parachuted into the VC’s chair at Lotus University. Yet, seated on the throne of borrowed power, he behaved as if he could silence anyone with a snap of his fingers.

At his last private institution, mutiny was routine — his authority challenged more often than the cafeteria’s hygiene. That insecurity blossomed into vanity when he arrived at Lotus University. Within weeks, he proclaimed: “Every board, banner, and flyer must carry my photo.”

Quantum physics seminars, ethics workshops, even lost and found notices for slippers bore his face. Posters of him smiling, smirking, squinting, and looking vaguely confused plastered every wall. Students joked that “Fire Exit” signs and even the “Toilet Closed” signs would soon feature his portrait . The campus became a gallery of his expressions, but nowhere did his name appear where it mattered — in research journals or academic citations. Students whispered that Lotus University had become a “billboard university,” scholarship eclipsed by his selfies.

Drunk on arrogance, he picked fights with multiple upright faculty members — scholars who refused to bow to his unlawful oral diktats. Among them stood a true sage: an internationally acclaimed scientist, the very architect who had built Lotus University from scratch with untiring effort. The VC mistook dignity for weakness. He thought: “I am the god of this university. Who can challenge me?”
The VC launched his attacks with oral orders, petty memos, fact finding committees while sycophantic courtiers clapping in the background. He expected submission. But arrogance blinded him. He failed to see that provoking scholars of such stature was like a reckless power emboldened by its allies, poking a rival it thought was weak — only to discover that the rival was backed by deeper strength, alliances, and moral authority.

This was not just a campus quarrel. It mirrored the kind of provocation and entanglement the world is witnessing today — where arrogance leads to miscalculation, and miscalculation leads to traps from which escape is nearly impossible.

The faculty sage did not shout. He did not retaliate with noise. Instead, he responded with dignity and precision. He documented every violation, invoked statutes, filed RTIs, and unearthed audit trails. He wielded the power of truth, backed by institutional memory and international credibility.

His calmness echoed the Gita’s wisdom: “समत्वं योग उच्यते” (His calmness echoed the Gita’s wisdom: Equanimity itself is yoga-सुख-दुःख, सफलता-विफलता, और अनुकूल-प्रतिकूल परिस्थितियों में मन की समता (संतुलन) बनाए रखना ही योग है)

And his resolve carried the force of:
“कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥”
— Your right is to action alone, never to its fruits. Do not let the fruits of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction (आपका अधिकार केवल कर्म करने में है, उसके फल (परिणाम) में कभी नहीं। इसलिए, न तो फल की इच्छा से कर्म करें और न ही कर्म न करने (निष्क्रियता) में आसक्त हों)
He acted with duty, not desire for revenge, knowing that truth itself would deliver the outcome.

The illusion of authority that the VC carried began to collapse. His oral diktats, once feared, were now dissected in inquiries; his foreign tour expenses, once hidden, were dragged into the light; his garlanded mediocrity, once celebrated, was ridiculed. The faculty sage’s calm documentation, combined with the defiance of upright professors, stripped away the mask, and the campus saw the VC for what he truly was — a man unworthy of even a lecturer’s chair, propelled upward by family privilege, now masquerading as the university’s deity.

Worse still, his inefficiency and short‑sightedness had paralyzed campus life. All major academic, cultural, and sports events were postponed one after another, each time with a flimsy excuse. Students, frustrated and disillusioned, gave the university a new nickname: “Postpone University.” The courtiers who once clapped fell silent, the students whispered openly, and the wider academic community recognized the hollowness of his reign. The provocation had backfired spectacularly: just as the world today witnesses arrogant powers trapped by their own miscalculations, Lotus University now witnessed its VC ensnared by the very system he thought he could silence. His reality was no longer hidden; it was known to everyone.

And in the silence that followed, the Gita’s timeless words echoed across the campus:
"सत्यमेव जयते, धर्मस्य विजयते" अर्थ: सत्य की ही जीत होती है, धर्म की ही विजय होती है।
