Sounds weird doesnt it. Grad school and its amusing tastes would be how i put it. MEC E 565 is our good old classical thermodynamics class. It turned out to be classical in the rather more unconventional manner. Our instructor of this course is a fellow bong....Dr. Samik Gupta. Dr.Gupta s reputation as a zealous scientist stands strong among the faculty and grad students. He barges into the room with the flair of the winner of a zillion Nobel prizes....smmiles at the class and starts off without hesitating. Me, Satya Sai and Debjyoti occupy adjacent seats in the class....DJ never stops in his efforts to throw up his humor missiles.....at this point he is discreetly tapping me on the shoulder ( I shall elaborate on the reason a little later ). Suddenly Samik babu stops in his discussion of the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation.....and squirms as he clutches his arms tightly, head facing skywards. And guess what he says as he slowly releases as he regains his positional normalcy.....he says " GIIIIIBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSS". Not much happened after that except for the three of us staring blankly at him trying to figure out what WAS the object of excitement (only to be left more flustered)!!
Now the reason as I promised earlier....he is my thesis supervisor!! GOd save me.
