Joel: "Mr. Gulati, what is your first name?"
Gulati: "I don't know..."
Joel: "Can I guess?"
Gulati: "You can guess three."
Joel: "Is it... Bob?"
Gulati (smiling): "...no."
Joel: "Is it... John?"
Gulati (grinning broadly): "...no."
Joel: "Is it... Chandar?"
Gulati (still grinning...): "Yes it is! How did you guess!?"

"The most difficult part will be the calculus part."

Gulati: "Did anyone here get the answer 'A'?"
Dan: "I wish I got an A..."
Gulati: "ok."

"President of the class. I don't know what kind of citizenship to give you."
-This was when Gulati tried to throw Dan Lange out of class

"Even the airlines will use it. They don't want the plane to go straight up forever."

"They suggest 21 days of instruction. I don't do it."

Gulati: "You can't stay out of class ten minutes or you will get a cut. It applies to me also."
Joel: "But you can't get a cut."
Gulati: "I can lose my pay."

"Conditionally means you can impose conditions."

Zach: "Finally some one listens to me!"
Gulati: "Thank God."

"It does not look good to me when a class of seniors, not senior citizens, does not do their classwork."

Joel: "Mr. Gulati, when do we become senior citizens?"
Gulati: "In 45 years, or 47 years. It's not that long."

"The Dao of Gulati: Gulati flows in women's tears"

Gulati checks the homework and calls on me first. Naturally I didn't do it. I told him that i was looking for it and shuffled through some papers. Gulati decided to skip me and come back to me. When he comes back to me:
Gulati: "Where is your homework, Matt?"
Matt: "I showed it to you already."
Gulati: "Oh, ok."
And then he marks down that I have the homework.

"Sid, you did not wet the towels?"

"You are growing in profession, you are growing in height, and the other I can't say."

Christian: "Did you get nocked over alot while playing field hockey?"
Gulati: "No, I was tricky."

"Don't worry about 16. It is me."

"For x the bell has rung, so it can leave."

"When the cat is away the mouse can play, but now the cat is back so the mouse can never play."

"That's right. Natural Log is the greatest killer. It is like AIDS."

Bari: "Oh my god."
Gulati: "Bless you."

Bari: "You have a nice family, Mr. Gulati."
Gulati: "They are educated, at least."

Christian: "That terrorist they arrested from the University of South Florida. Didn't you go there?"
Gulati: "I don't think he was there when I was there."
Christian: "Are you a terrorist, Mr. Gulati?"
Joel: "Are you insinuating that Mr. Gulati is a terrorist?"
Gulati: "I am not a terrorist. I didn't even know him."

Miles: "Why can't we use calculators now if we can use them in real life?"
Gulati: "sue them. You could put a chip in the brain and it will do everything. It could do the math, or it could go shopping. It could alert you when you have to go to the bathroom."

After someone came in to take sid's picture for the school paper:
Zach: "I want someone to take my picture."
Gulati: "Well, many people need to see it, so you can't."

"Nuob are the aristocrat in the backwards... or third world country."
Note- Nuob is apparently a word in Mr. Gulati's native language.

"I forgot my first name. My first name is 'C'. I forgot to write that down."

Dan: "I think we should be done for the day."
Gulati: "Hard of hearing."

Bari: "Will there be chewy cookies?"
Gulati: "No. There will be regular food."
