"Good morning, sir."

The professor nodded, with a smile; walked past, then turned back and said, "Hey.."

"Yes, sir..??"

"What's your name.. Vikram, right?"

"Yes, sir. It's long time since I did your course!"- said I, surprised, and somewhat delighted too; but more than that, Curious to know how he remembers me even after two and a half years of that course.

"Oh yeah, and You were the guy who came in my class 1.5 hrs late, in a tutorial of 2 hours."

Not knowing what to say, I just smiled, and started looking down.

"Hmm.. I still remember what you said that day: "Sir, I won't ask for attendance. I really want to attend this class." " - he said, walking away smiling.

Trust professors of IITD for remembering their students by their names, or by their deeds.

(At the end of that class, he had called everybody's name; mine too. I didn't respond. He smiled, and marked a 'P'.)

Instances of professor-student cordiality are as heartwarming as instances of India-Pakistan cordiality. :P Somehow it feels like that to me!
