I think that girl was trying to talk about a serious topic, the joke probably went too far, he could have heard her out first

If the audience has been remained silence it would have been an instant response, it shows how we have become obeying to those who work for us only 😢

I was dyslexic tested and proven by the doctor too.
But, my parents didnt.
So well a couple of slaps, kicks, punches, lathis, chapals, lathis, hunters, public ridicules, ignorance.
Well 18 years later i'm cured.
Ao yeah, you can get it cured but not completely.
I still jumble the words, though.
Its hard for me to make the sense of words soemtimes.
Autocorrect is getting me through life right now. 😂😂

I miss APJ sir when it comes to interaction with students. Not every "leader" can be a good one.

[nalinthakar]

If the audience had remained silent; it would have been an apt response.
Shows how insensitive we have become as society.

[ayvak]

She should have continued and told him not to interrupt..
