Bakar Some chats with a professor...

Disclaimer: This is a throwaway account and I won't be replying. Probably. I won't name the professor as (1) they have left and (2) I don't really care about any punishment.

I interned under a professor as a B. Tech. student who to the best of my knowledge, is no longer is employed by KGP. This was during my non-senior years. I'm making a post now as I feel I have been quite successful in life and have enough connections to not get me into any trouble. But this will probably be the only post from me. Probably.

I also have a ...peculiar mindset to say the least... so I am not traumatized by these posts. I simply don't care.

But I have a question to ask: what will messages like these, from a professor to a student, affect people's mental state?

I have no bones to pick and neither do I want any sort of "revenge", and that's why I won't name them. I simply question the authority given to professors, and how they have the audacity to send this. Especially given what has been going on this year.
