More Than Just a Dance
In a world where professors are usually seen armed with equations, chalk, and PowerPoint slides, one Bengaluru tech lecturer decided to break the mould—quite literally with a moonwalk. In a now-viral video, this energetic educator threw on his dancing shoes and lit up the stage with a performance to the cult Bollywood classic Muqabala, earning him the now-iconic nickname: 'Mechanical Jackson.'The now-famous video, shared in two parts on Instagram , features the professor dancing to Muqabala with the kind of swagger that would make Prabhu Deva proud. Surrounded by students cheering, hooting, and filming every move, the atmosphere could easily be mistaken for a rock concert—except the headliner was a mechanical engineering professor with fire in his steps and a whole lot of heart.Social media, as always, responded with enthusiasm and emoji-laden appreciation. Comments poured in, ranging from 'Fire mode on 🔥' to 'Born to be dancer 🕺 forced to be professor 🧑🏫😂🙌.' One viewer called him 'Extraordinary,' while another simply crowned him the 'favourite professor for all college students.'And here's the twist—this isn't his first time moonwalking through the spotlight. Just last month, he went viral for recreating Michael Jackson's legendary moves during another college event . The video had netizens hooked, making 'Ravi Sir'—as he's fondly called on campus—an internet sensation and a symbol of how passion and profession can spectacularly collide.One commenter summed it up best: 'All-time favorite, forever inspiring! Ravi Sir setting the stage on fire!'What makes this moment special isn't just the dance, but what it represents. In a rigid academic environment where routines often overpower creativity, Ravi Sir is a breath of fresh air—proving that learning can be fun, and professors too can groove.As students continue to post and repost his videos, it's clear that he's not just teaching mechanical engineering anymore—he's teaching joy, authenticity, and the magic of embracing who you are, even in a lab coat.Whether he's solving complex problems or busting moves to Muqabala, one thing's for sure: 'Mechanical Jackson' has already aced the subject of hearts.

For the celebrations, Sonam stunned ina butter yellow Givenchy dress that was complete with an oversized black leather scarf tied in a neat knot.

Sharing the pictures, she wrote, 'Hosted the Serpentine after-party, a night of art, joy, and luminous summer energy. And this outfit… it made me feel alive, awake, and exactly where I needed to be. Thank you to the brilliant Sarah Burton for this exquisite @givenchy look, and to everyone who made the evening so special." Styled by her sister Rhea Kapoor, Sonam made a striking appearance at the event in a butter-yellow blazer dress that effortlessly blended power dressing with a contemporary edge. Take a closer look at Sonam's look here. Sonam's butter yellow dress came with a structured, full-sleeved silhouette. The dress featured sharp double lapels, padded shoulders, and a cinched waist that sculpted her frame beautifully. Functional side pockets added a touch of utilitarian chic, while the midi-length hem kept the look refined and elegant. To break the monotony and dial up the drama, Sonam layered the outfit over a fitted black inner top and styled it with a bold, oversized black leather scarf knotted at the neck – a daring accessory choice that infused the ensemble with high-fashion energy. The look was completed with sleek black heels that balanced the palette perfectly. Her beauty game was just as impactful: dramatic winged eyeliner, voluminous lashes, flushed cheeks, and a radiant highlighter gave her that signature glow. A soft pink lipstick added the perfect finishing touch, while her hair, neatly slicked into a sophisticated bun, tied the entire look together in classic Sonam style.
