“The first rock star of the academic year…”

If you thought that we’re referring to a fresher who’s made a mark for himself/herself among other batch mates, think again….
In what could be regarded as a sweeping psychological victory over the minds of students, our ever-so-popular QM prof (let’s call him ‘J’…I’m a bit skeptical about taking names) has carved a cult among students. The numbers are here for everyone to see. It doesn’t matter which sample of students (from sections B and D) you interact with; it doesn’t matter what confidence level you mark out for your hypothesis. J is a star. Period.
In a matter of a fortnight, he has gained unparalleled popularity among the students of B and D. His fame ain’t no normally distributed graph among a few students, it’s uniformly distributed among all student types – be it the bespectacled bozo who loves mathematics more than his imaginary girlfriend or be it the philosophical faffer or be it the sucker for spiritual semantics. Everyone’s invited for a good time with J! His phrases and idioms have become so popular, that you see his students taunting each other with classics like “There’s no truth, there’s only power”, “Anything worth doing is worth doing well” and the like…
His love for the abstract can only be matched by the ferocity with which he rips through the contents of the course. And yes, assignments! One can’t talk about J without talking about his legendary assignments and complex case-studies. We suspect he lifts straight from his PhD material and unleashes them on us! But alas, despite all his eccentricities, despite all the assignments, most of us would agree, that he’s quite a nice guy at the end of day….Long Live J!...that’s the way at IIMK‼
