A user named Sai Aditya, who claimed to be present during the class, commented, “We were supposed to be in by 4:05 PM. The instructor jokes about keeping an eye on the doors, and this situation was no different. The entire lecture hall is visible to him, and no one escapes his line of sight.”

Another user, Amala, humorously recalled: “I used to give presence notifications for myself and two others in different voices when they were away. Then we would run in through the back door!”

The video has struck a chord with many, reminding alumni of their own playful moments in the classroom. As one user, Keerthana Kashyap, fondly put it, “I miss being in a class like this with 70 others, laughing in sync.”
