IIT Ropar's ‘pookie professor' joins student for sunglasses selfie at convocation; viral video wins the Internet
In the now-viral footage, a student named Kartik walks up to receive his degree and, mid-photo, turns to professor Ahuja with a mischievous smile and asks if he can wear shades for the picture. The professor chuckles and nods, giving his approval. But Kartik doesn't stop there, he offers a pair of shades to the professor himself.
To everyone's surprise and delight, Ahuja swaps his regular spectacles for the sunglasses and joins Kartik in the photo, striking a pose that instantly wins over the crowd. The auditorium erupts in laughter and applause.
The video was captioned, 'When your Professor says yes to black shades at convocation… and rocks them too while awarding degrees! Iconic moments only at IIT Ropar.'

Responding to the video, an Instagram user wrote, 'I actually liked that he asked his Prof before doing something he wanted to instead of making it a scene.' Ajiolife commented, 'You sure passed the degree but the professor passed the vibe check.'
A third person wrote, 'Pookie professor.' A fourth individual commented, 'Back in NITT, we had the most amazing Director who was so much still everyone's hero when we reminisced him! Great Bosses and Great Academic Heads make fantastic places to be at!!'

All of Us Are Dead Season 2: Netflix unveils full cast and synopsis, brings Squid Game stars into zombie-filled Seoul
All of Us Are Dead Season 2 premiere date might be sooner than expected. After four years of long wait, Netflix has finally teased its return with the full cast lineup and official synopsis of the zombie K-drama that took over the world back in 2022. Based on Joo Dong Geun's webtoon, the show clocked in a massive 560 million viewing hours within its first month, hitting Netflix's Top 10 in over 90 countries. Now, in Season 2, the focus shifts entirely to university goer Nam On Jo, played by returning star Park Ji Hu. She's no longer a high schooler dodging the undead in Hyosan. And while a few OG characters have bowed out, here's what the new cast looks like. Two Squid Game characters, Kim Si Eun and Roh Jae Won, are joining the show alongside Lee Min Jae (Weak Hero: Class 2) and Yoon Ga I (Undercover High School). The new cast will play original characters created by the show to fit into the updated timeline. Speaking of the returning cast, Cheong San (Yoon Chan Young), last seen in an almost-dead situation, is reprising his role. Nam Ra (Cho Yi Hyun), the half-zombie girl who vanished into the woods, is also returning, alongside Su Hyeok (Lomon), the fighter with a soft spot. The K-drama will once again be directed by Lee JQ (Daily Dose of Sunshine) and Kim Nam Su, while Chun Sung il (King the Land) has penned the script. Also read: All of Us Are Dead review: Gory but genuinely heartfelt, Netflix's zombie show is your new Korean obsession The K-drama picks up right after Season 1, but with a time leap. After surviving the zombie outbreak at Hyosan High, Nam On Jo is now a university student. But the trauma's still fresh, haunting her nights, messing with her head. Just when she starts to believe she's safe, a new wave of infection crashes into the city. No familiar faces this time. She's on her own until she crosses paths with a new group of students at her Seoul university (played by a fresh cast). This crew of seniors isn't clueless; they've already cracked how to survive the madness. They're seniors, smart, and they've got the rules and escape plans down. Han Du Seok (Roh Jae Won) shows up as the National Intelligence Service team leader, not a saviour, not a sidekick, but a whole new threat wrapped in mystery. Also read: Wall to Wall review: Netflix delivers a Squid Game-flavoured darkly comedic satire Season 2 of the Netflix zombie series will chart its own course, it's nowhere near a copy-paste version of Season 1. But the pressure's real: fans are still stuck on the deaths from last season. And with some cast members missing, everyone's watching how the show explains Cheong San's return and the narrative surrounding Nam Ra. Fans waited almost 4 years with zero updates. Even when Netflix dropped its 2025 Tudum slate, most thought the project had been scrapped for good. But it's finally confirmed. With the cast lineup and budget scale, this one's aiming big. The announcement also adds to Netflix's steady grip on Korean content. The industry's been churning out some of the streamer's biggest hits, When Life Gives You Tangerines with IU and Park Bo Gum, Culinary Class Wars, and Squid Game Season 3 among others.
