Pune: Using concise language enhances communication, while unnecessary words can cause confusion, making it difficult for individuals to understand the intended message. In some cases, unconventional responses may be seen as offensive by many people. A similar incident occurred involving an Indian student who applied for an internship at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
The student expected a positive response, but the reply he received left him as well as many internet users confused. This unexpected event highlighted the professor’s unusual response and attracted a wide audience. A social media user named Harshit Tiwari shared a screenshot of the email exchange on platform X, along with a caption asking for an explanation of the professor’s remark. In the screenshot, the student introduces himself and submits his internship application.
The professor’s response to the email was rather unconventional, as he expressed concern about air pollution caused by flying. Consequently, he declined to extend an invitation, suggesting that the individual consider pursuing their internship in proximity to their place of residence in order to mitigate the environmental impact.
Posted on October 24, this screenshot has garnered close to 100,000 views and received over 700 likes. Furthermore, it has elicited a diverse range of comments, encompassing both favourable and unfavourable perspectives, regarding the email correspondence.
