From 2018 to 2024: The unexpected textsThe story began in April 2018, during Neil’s first-year engineering days. Neil had texted his professor twice that day, seeking permission to submit his maths files. The first text read: “Ma’am, this is Neil from A1, FE. Will you be accepting the maths files today?” The professor replied briefly, “Signing only.” Determined to finish his task, Neil sent another message later: “Ma’am, have you come to college today? We want to submit our files.” This time, he received no reply. Fast-forward to 2024 — three years after Neil graduated in 2021 — he received a sudden text from the same professor. “Neel, are you in college today?” Startled and bemused, Neil replied, “What is this regarding? I passed out in 2021.” The professor’s response? “Ok, I thought you are in 8th sem.” Check out the post here: Internet reacts with laughterSocial media users couldn’t contain their amusement.
