Elliptic curves goes to school

Hot and humid, this is the weather when I live. Maths lectures are really boring, specially for the lecturere, when they have students like me sitting in class, yawning and drawing cartoons . Very son I will be there , otherside of the fence, and I have an idea of how to make maths lectures enjoyable for the lecturer himself. Today I attended one lecture. One prof from taiwan was giving the lecture. He brought his wife and his daughter with him. So the lecture was going as any other maths lecture. The prof looked like a robot. Then once in a while his daughter started saying something , the poor kid was bored, i guess, with the dead lecture hall and the dead participant of this heartless process of mathematical lectures. The lecturer turned around and he started smiling. That smile was probably the best smile I have ever seen from a lecturer. I guess he was not this happy in any maths department in his life. I will also bring my kid in my maths lectures , I am sure today. After the lecture he ran towards her daughter. The affection, for the first time gave a bright color to the maths lecture hall. Kid are not that bad afterall.
Today is elliptic curves day. We (by including Pranav) studied elliptic curves from afternoon. Then afternoon lecture was also related to elliptic curves. There is a Japanese prof, Shiga, (who plays piano too) who took the elliptic curve course last month. We saw him thrice (thrice is indian english and i use it all the time) today. If we study a little more about elliptic curves then probably Shiga will come to our room.
Saurabh bhaiya is fully charged up, he will probably do some great work in his phd if not in his masters. He said he will show to haramjadletto everything (assuming that haramjadaletto is not an offside batsman). I don't know how is everyone ? I feel like calling everyone now.
