Lampooning

Yes. Thats what this post basically aims to do. I would go through a few aspects and details of my profs this sem, exposing many of their great achievements, which have remained in the dark for so many years. A few of my Mech classmates demanded some entertainment, and this is all I can do. Others can nevertheless be imaginative enough to create images of profs in mind.

Lets start on!

1) Ms A

Why she still calls herself Ms remains an unsolved puzzle. Infact, the HOD of our maths department is considering to publish this as an apparent paradox, and as a million dollar problem. Also, she claims that she is the only woman to have understood Einstein's Space Time relations. Sadly, nobody pays any heed to her claim because she thinks that this theory implies that you shouldn't waste time in class. She has also won the 'Fastest Indian speaker' award. Otherwise, a pretty normal lady.
Maa'm, if you by any chance are reading this, it's just for fun.... Kidding.



2) Dr B

Here is the big man himself. He is a renowned person in Vibrations and Machine noise control. His trick to have got him this famous is that machines stop making noise when he's around. To put it simply, they sleep. Now why they sleep when he's around still remains a hot topic of research, especially at Cornell. Infact, several pharma companies have sued him for allegedly reducing their market production and sales of sedatives. He still faces several charges on ' Attempted murder by monotone voice control'. His Phd thesis titled ' Going through the exercise of a 5 dimensional Grashoff mechanism with 1 link fixed, nothin fancy about it' was world famous. Also, he's the heaviest professor alive, and has a bad reputation of having broken 742 benches in Class room complex alone. Owing to the same reason, he cannot take even 2 continuous classes as his legs fail him.
Sir, if you by any chance are reading this, it's just for fun. You're a stud.



3) Dr C

God of all gods. Recently conferred the title of 'Concept King' by the Royal British Association of Old Fluid engineers. This man holds many many records and distinctions. He holds the IITM record for having breathed most of its air, for 45 years. He also holds the IITM record for the maximum number of years taken to do a Phd-21. He believes that the answer to universe, life and everything is Dimensional Analysis. Infact, his Phd thesis titled ' Dimensional Analysis of Boundary layer theory for viscous fluids, in other words, taking into account the Taylor series, or something like that' remains a classic in all of viscous flow theory. He is also credited with the 'Indian with the highest Erdos number' tag, close to infinity, which basically means that all his papers are fraud. He is also the only Indian to have run a marathon through 69 countries, publicizing the Boundary Layer theory. He is also the recipient of the prestigious Lehmann Brothers poetry award for the one liner ' This y is not the same as that y, that is why'. His belief that 'No paradox has a solution' nearly cost him his job, when he uttered it at an International Conference. 'All quantities increase in the positive direction of axes' is one among his many beliefs well known in the scientific community. He is also the propagator of his Bluff philosophy- If you don't know an answer, bluff it.
Sir, if are by any chance reading this....No, that won't happen. Because I'm pretty sure you don't know how to operate a comp.


4) Dr D

He was initially suspected to be a Japanese refugee in India, until recently, when it was known that he's actually a visiting prof from Tokyo. Apparently, he was denied a visa from Tokyo, because the official's details and the voice did not match in the telephonic interview. Only when they reached his home did they know that he was actually a guy. He is also the recipient of the prestigious ' IIT student's sympathy' award for having made a statement that proxy will hurt the sentiment of the other guy. Otherwise very nice.
Sir, if you're reading this, kuosowhaahaahwikoi. (I hope that's something in japanese)



5) Dr F

He supposedly ran out of Nimhans. Was admitted for ' Chronic urge to take classes ' by the IITM elec department. He is of the belief that the answer to universe, life and everything is Analog circuits. He also has wordly knowledge. Citing an example, 'Consider Volleyball, where the players put the ball into the basket'. He treats other departments, especially Mech, close to how he treats his Ambassador. He's the first prof in IITM who is known for blatantly refusing to do research. He was the main reason why the slot system came about in IIT, imposing a maximum limit on the number of classes in a week. Many students have had their hands come out separately because of excessive writing. He is also the reason why the number of piles' cases in students doubled a few years back.Anyways, GOD.
Sir, in case you're reading this, Mech rules.


6) Dr G.

He is known more commonly by the name Sloth LV.. His belief that 'The slower you talk, better the students understand' won him critical acclaim all over the world. He is credited with the tag of the 'First Indian to use Powerpoint in Mantech, unsuccessfully'. He believes that the answer to universe, life and everything is Sand Casting. There are rumours that he's been stopped from presenting conference papers because the Russians get irritated and throw abuses at him. What he's concluded from Einstein's space time relations is that time can always be got back, provided you conserve energy by bunking your own classes.
Sir, if you're reading this, Mantech sucks.


Hmm..thats about it. More to come later, perhaps.

This is all a joke. Please don't take it seriously.

great one man...dint know that the R was still Ms.R

and JLN...oBBBBBBBBBBly doesnt know how to use a comp...he was learning the nuances of opening, editing and saving a word doc from his P(itiable)hD student recently !

nice post da...

DeepThought said...

Macha just like to add something.. out dear caveman came up with this explanation for jln giving tut sheets typed in a typewriter. He doesn't believe in a computer. It's a machine that is kept beside his table to show a forest and produce bug's sounds (for ambience, you know) exactly 13 minutes after he presses a button on the box beside it.. (assuming 3 minutes startup).. His comment about comp would be "How insane of you to tell me that you press a key here which could manifest itself as something on the screen, when all i see is just a small wire going into it? There is absolutely no mechanical connection between them, hence no effect."

Sweet! I _loved_ the 'The Answer to Life, the Universe,and Everything' refrain... sidin and vinodg, hang on to your balls, CB's coming!

CB said...

Hey all...
thanx..!

However, I would have liked a bit more focus on the King. To remedy that, here is my humble attempt to restore his Highness to his August pedestal:
------------------------
Much has been written on the controversial subject of torture. It has been glorified and reviled, used and abused innumerable times in history. The stupendous faculty of human intelligence has always marched forth in its pursuit of the discovery of methods of inflicting more and more _elegant_ forms of pain.

Some would say the art of torture reached its pinnacle at the Japanese POW camp, where only the vilest of treacheries were punished by what was fearfully called, no, _whispered_ as The Pail. The victim was tonsured, tied up to a chair and a pail of water was hung a few feet above his head. If even after completely understanding the consequences the victim refused to cooperate, a small match was
stuck and held near the center of the pail. It would melt a minuscule wax plug, and tiny droplets of water started to fall on the victim's head. There were claims that one hour with the pail was enough to crack the shells of even the bravest of patriots.

Some others would disagree. They would hold the Silent Chambers of the Russian Gulags to be the zenith. Only an extremely uncooperative prisoner would be put in a chamber with sound absorbing walls, for a period of not more than one week. Few have come out sane,if alive.

Some others would argue....

It does not matter. They are wrong. They are all wrong.

When highly funded devious terror scientists with contorted minds were tearing what was left of their hair apart trying to figure out ways to torture, Mother Nature was busy perfecting her work of art.

***, alias Concept King!

The lean, mean, terror machine! Undisputed expert in the art and science (or something like that) of torture and terror, by
means including but not restricted to:

1.) Denial of essential soporific pleasure, _under conditions of the CB-KV critical region_(ref 'Soporodynamics of Uncomprehending bodies', 2005 Journal of Ignobel Papers, IITM)

2.) Enforcing the widely accepted doctrine of Forced Confinement Under Extremely Monotonic audio condition, with ambient FFTs congruent with the function diracdelta(x - f), where f, empirically determined after 38 years of experience, is the most disagreeable and irritating frequency of human speech.

3.) Evangelical propounding of falsities in the name of Science. Although this may, at first sight, appear to be not so terrorizing after all, its magnitude of pain can only be appreciated by victims who have undergone sessions with pronouncements such as "No, that paradox does not have a solution" (for a high school teaser) and "All quantities increase with increasing coordinates"

4.) (And now, Gentlemen, for the _modus magnificenti_) Forced Disorientation (of whatever is left) of the victim's muddled mind, by active refuting of 1,2,3 above. This can be elegantly summed up by the following example:

"All Quantities increase with inc. coordinates"

"Sir, that can't be true. Rho and 1/Rho both can't increase with inc. coordinates. So, All Quantities can't increase with inc. coordinates"

(Hair-Drop Silence) (What is he going to say?) (I think he's cornered)(Hey Ssh, he's saying something)
.
.
.
.
"Who said so?"
.
.
Since this, the victim mentioned above has never spoken again.

it's baille said...

maachi...amusing post da.... now i can see why mech junta are so frustated

Alwaysvetti said...

Awesome man..I can see that Profs there and here are very much the same..:-P

No difference KGP,Madras or Bombay..its all the same...

Makam said...

well, the evil inspired 'anon' muggu , (who incidentally co authored "Soporodynamics of uncomprehending bodies" with our very own CB....)

one suggestion, it will be for the good of mankind(or something like that) if you start up your own blog or get one as a joint blog with CB the man....

and yeah...sidins and vinodgs...better be on the lookout...here comes IITMs answer to yours...

great going man !

Ganesh said...

wow!! the comments are coming thick and fast..and yes, i second leftit's(er..sandeep) suggestion that the evil inspired muggu start his own blog asap...

CB said...

KV man..
awesome..! And ya..you're right..It's just inflicting torture if nothing less..LVR's plums in JLN's mouth.(thats the worst decent abuse i can think of now)

CB said...

Yup..I take makam's suggestion.
why don't we start a blog together..?!

CB said...

sania boy.
so when are you starting to blog..?!

Mahesh Mahadevan said...

Stud macha. References to JLN by both of you soporodynamically resonant uncomprehending bodies was too good. Make this a joint blog or we do need theevilmuggu.blogspot.com

Ankita DJ said...

rolling rolling...oops..fell of the chair!! :)

the Monk said...

I should do something like this abt our profs...

CB said...

Monk.
Please do so..!
I would love to be THE inspiration
:D
