To sir... with love!

As i am on a spree on writing about ‘relationship management’, thought of mentioning a thing which i;’ve been thinking about since long now….As long as since i was in college…(which was not THAT long ago!!)

We had a professor, who had a dynamic personality, was an excellent orator, command over the subject as well as language, and to top it all, was exceptionally handsome! Obviously, all the girls in our class were ga-ga over him! We literally used to wait for his classes, even though his classes were scheduled daily! Now you must be thinking, if the girls were so much infatuated by him, the boys apparently would be jealous of him.. but no, in fact, they all were so much impressed by him, that they just wished they would become like him in future!

This happens very rarely that a professor has such an impact over both the groups in the class.. or else many a times it’s a female faculty having a male students following and a dynamic male faculty having a female fan following!

Being a lecturer myself, and that too for a course like MBA, which requires the students to be around for such a long time, where we have constant interaction with students (they being in hundreds in number), we encounter such infatuations every now and then! (let me mention this very clearly that i am not at all considering myself in the league of my professors, because I am not even half way there! But still, what do the students know, right?!?!)

I still ponder sometimes, what is it that makes a professor to be in the ‘list’ of students? Even if the professor is a ‘don’, or a ‘Hitler’ when it comes to conducting the classes? Personality, subject command, or something else?

Relationship Management!

One of my very good friends also happens to be my school mate. So i get to know all the ‘boys’ secrets from him every now and then! And also i ask him to complete all the half – baked stories which were cooked in school times… which now makes sense…strange but funny!
He has always been in most of the stories revolving the ‘triangles’.. or should I say, ‘failed triangles’..! Many girls, it turned out so, were ‘infatuated’ by him in those days…but that is very obvious, because of his tall – dark – handsome looks, as well as intelligence.. but then, he was also ‘known’ to be very shy!

Few months ago, we’d had a re – union party, after which suddenly all the girls came back into his contact, and somehow, they got to know that we are good friends.. so, to ‘target’ him, all of a sudden, i have started to get the attention!! They talk to me in such a manner, as if we were never off contact, or as if we were best friends for ever!! And all this to impress my friend!!

He also knows this; i have also quite a few times ‘saved’ him! He also has that much of faith that if at all anything happens; i’ll be there to ‘save’ him, which i of course will! And the moment I get any news on this front, he is the one to get it next from me, or if he is getting any such ‘vibes’, then we ‘discuss’ it!

Now this fellow is a gentleman to the core! I know any girl would be more than happy to be with him! Anybody who knows him will vouch for this…
(And as his friend, i also wish he gets such a girl who’ll keep him happy and will be just like him, true and caring.)
If this is the case, why can’t the girls understand this? That by making such stupid moves, they are not going to achieve anything?!

For me, i get innumerable chances to tease him, and have fun doing all ‘relationship management’!!
