Juniors massaged student leader’s legs because he was preparing for the Olympics
The country erupted in joy at news that a student leader from Bangladesh Mountains University is going to partake in running events of the Paris Olympics next year.
There was joy because for so long the country was unable to send a worthy opponent to the Games, but this youth -- whose preparation for the event has started more than a year in advance -- emerged with the message that the records of Usain Bolt and Mo Farah could be in danger.
This student leader was too down-to-earth to let the country know about his breathtaking preparation. Instead, a photographer had to capture this scrumptious moment very secretly while the leader was receiving a leg massage from juniors in a room isolated from the rest of the world.
As the photo went viral, people didn't take much time to react.
"I have been dreaming about representing my country in the Olympics as a sprinter since my childhood, a stage of age I passed 40 years ago. These junior students of my dormitory, I mean our dormitory, did not let me take care of my legs all by myself."
Some believed that this latent talent should get some government aid as he was going to represent our country in the world's biggest sporting event, while others thought that this wannabe Mo Farah should get global, if not then at least South Asian, attention.
The scene that an unknown photographer captured had artistic value -- the man was watching amateur TikTok videos wearing a barely mentionable piece of clothing while his juniors, young enough to be his sons if he had gotten married when he entered the university as a fresher, was taking care of his precious legs.
Empty packets of medicine in his room indicated what he had to go through to get ready to represent his motherland on the global stage.
"I have been dreaming about representing my country in the Olympics as a sprinter since my childhood, a stage of age I passed 40 years ago. These junior students of my dormitory, I mean our dormitory, did not let me take care of my legs all by myself. If I ever win a gold medal in Olympics, half will go to these juniors, I promise," Burel, the young leader and Olympic aspirant, said.
When asked why they were taking care of their senior with such devotion, the juniors said, "First of all, we want to say 'Sohomot Bhai' as we agree with what our leader said previously. Secondly, our Bhai is of our fathers' age. So, we took care of him with great honour. Thirdly, he is going to represent our country in the Olympics. So why wouldn't we take such good care of him?"
Controversy, however, is always around the corner in Bangladesh. Depsite being part of a heroic step in, the student leader had to face a lot of criticism, which he clearly didn't deserve, according to him.
People allegedly blamed him for getting a body massage free of cost. Some even said such a half-nude photo of him circulating on social media could degrade the morals of the youth. Some even went so far as to say that he was forcing his juniors to massage his legs.
As Satireday believes that the pursuit of knowledge is not bound by the pursuer's age, we asked this elderly youth if the last allegation was true.
Burel raged, "I cannot believe I am going to make these stupid people proud one day. How could you say something like that about me? Ask these boys. If they say that I used them to massage my body, I will leave this dormitory."
When reminded that he had already crossed his residential permission a decade ago, he said, "That's another lie about me. If education knows no age, how could a student lose his studentship? If I don't lose my studentship, why should I leave dormitory?"
