MEC,DDC, MP....Common among all ???

One year out of college, memories of college linger around everybody. At some point or the other we would said,, 'those good old college days'. GOOD, OLD...why only them, there were lots of bad and worse moments too. But what remains with us are the highlights of all of them. One such highlight of the college life, will be meeting this person called, Arun Kumar.
Rings bells...isn't it????

The person who was hated the most, but still he was the only one I guess who commanded respect more than anybody else in the entire staff. I guess he knew how to handle every class. He controlled our seniors, Us and our juniors in the same way. Though our seniors told what kinda person he was, we didnt have answer to his tactics and though we cautioned our juniors they too were clueless. Nobody would think to bunk the HOD's class but would definitely think twice before bunking Arun Kumar's class coz thts the way he controlled us. All the sems he had taught us, his was the only subject which would have full attendance and which would actually save the fine (for lack of attendance) at the end.

Controlling a class of engineering students is a daunting task. He did that with ease. Everybody was suprised at the methods he used when he first taught in 2-1. ANd when everybody got used to it, we thought it was easy to defy him in 2-2. But again, he changed his stratergies so adeptly that there was no defying him again. Thats how there was full attendance for hs class.

And why not. He taught with such vigor that everybody wanted to attend his class. The passion with which he taught made those dry and boring subjects (MEC, DDC and MP) atleast bearable and worth learning. He made sure everyone got the concept and wouldnt let go even one if he wasnt clear with the concepts. This was the most interesting part in him. He wouldnt fail you if you dont answer his viva,but would ask you to come back with answers to the same questions. If you fail the second time, you had to go back again but he wouldnt leave you, "Meeru ayanni nerchesukoni mallirandandi...". This was a torture but he knew how to make it fun too. I guess no other lecturer would give you discount offers on attending pracs and lectures but he did.

He was young, dynamic. I believe he had a large girl following. He used to dress the way. I'm not sure if he is a fan of actor venkatesh, but around the time when 'Gharshana' was released, he was almost a look alike of Venky in the movie. Those tight half-sleeve shirts, those dark glasses... he was definitely a cause of envy for the boys. hehehehe...;)

Those three semesters were a fun filled learning experience. I feel by far he is the best lecturer in the department till now and for a long time to come. Whatsay guys....!!!! [comments please]
