The invincibles

The professors in our campus are really unbeatables. Most of them are soo good that they can give their counterparts in MIT a run for their money. Obviously they are the best in our country. Most of them are damn good in what they have specialized, their degrees speaks volumes of their abilities. Most of them are PHds from highly reputed institutions.But in this post, I want to express in a comical exaggerated way some interesting features of some of them. For obvious reasons, I won't name anyone :D. Most of the descriptions given below are based on what my friends have told me since I haven't taken up those courses taught by them.

There is one professor who loves the blackboard very much. So much so that if a bomb explodes, he will run out of the class carrying the blackboard. I am sure if the blackboard was given a chance to write the exams, it would have topped the class for that course.

Then there is another prof who speaks soo fluently in english, but hates seeing anyone smile/laugh in the class. My friend was once a victim of this and from that day onwards he laughs with his mouth closed (Now don't try to imagine it. No one, who hasn't sat in this professor's class will ever be able to do that).

Another prof has this super duper ability to make even the most insomniac person go to sleep. I have a gut feeling that he must be hired by the pharmaceutical companies for testing their new sleeping drugs to test whether the drugs can match his efficiency.

There is another prof who gives marks for class participation. Anyone raising his hands in class is eligible for these marks irrespective of whether the person really had some doubt or whether he lifted his hand to scratch his underarm.

One prof speaks soo fluently that there is a hot debate among students whether he speaks Russian or French.But everyone agrees it cannot be English.

One extremely talented prof is very fond of english alphabets. He makes sure that he somehow uses all the alphabets in all the mathematical formulas and derivations.
Here is an eg:
"Consider a function F containing 2 variables b,c. When you apply a function H on this function, you get function G. Keep applying H on F and you get functions M,N,O,P....". Once he finishes up the english alphabets, he starts attacking the Greeks. "Take alpha, beta, gamma...". Thank god there are only 26 letters in english. I shudder to think what would have happened to we poor souls in his class if there were over 100 alphabets.Whew.

Before I end this post, I really would like to thank all these professors who will shape my future. It is such a refreshing change , compared to my Btech days, to be taught by people who knows what they are teaching and that too the best in what they teach. Thank you dear profs :).
