I R Rao-I

Suddenly I want to write about IR Rao, Don't know why, may be teacher's day just passed?? Whatever..
I would like to describe IR Rao a bit. our first meeting. It has become history by now i guess. That was my first ever class at KREC, i reach ATB (additional teaching block) at 7:56 am. Wham..the door is closed on our faces. After knocking by all of us for almost a minute, he opens the door again and says this "YOU ARE TOO EARLY FOR THE NEXT CLASS AND TOO LATE FOR THE FIRST CLASS." The dialouge has become very famous now and a popular saying in the college. That was IR Rao first time.
Another instance: After a dismal first sessional with 8/50 , me , arun pillai and vikram go to him. We were wondering, what to say.. he called us and said, " I know you all have been amongst the toppers of ur schools and here in the first test u r getting marks like 7,8 and 10 ( that were exactly what our marks were!!) . Don't get surprised, this happens, be prepared for the second one." How could he anticipate what we went to him for.
This is the last incident i would like to mention which happened in first year. As usual in all teh classes, stuffs were written on the desks. I don't know which one he found most loathsome, suddenly he said he won't teach us unless all the stuff is cleaned. It was just our first year and we were surprised. people went to dean who said if we scratch the desks, he will take action against us. And then we came up with a compromise. We scrached all the writings and then painted all the desks again and then called IR Rao.. The next day he comes with a big chocolate bag for all and didn't even see the desks.
Stories about him never end. His act of cleaning the board was famous. Here comes a story with that. Our very first day in second year, first year with branch people. He comes and says, Sandipan..Go and clean the board. I promptly went and cleaned the board but he was not happy.
He asked deepa shastry-" Deepa, what was wrong in the way he cleaned?" and deepa says, " HE didn't do thak thak". All of us wanted to burst into laughter but controlled ourselves as we all knew what he is like. The thing is after cleaning the borad he always strikes the duster on the wall so that all the chalk powder falls of but that action is so loud taht the whole corridoor hears it. Well, the correct answer was that i shouldn't have given backward strokes.
One more and that will be end of part 1.
Somehow one day in 3rd sem, he made shweta and deekshma stand up and asked them "have u seen an unicorn??" and she said "yes". He asks "where, animal planet/discovery channel?" . She was scared and just noddedAnd what he replied is this- "Listen, you can see unicorns only in one channel and that is cartoon network"...
MOre of him in part 2.....
