Another user, Amala, recalled humorously: “I used to check the attendance list for myself and two others in different tones of voice when they were absent. Then we always left through the back door!”

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