Vir Das,who is renowned for not just being the irreverent funny man in India but also taking Indian Comedy and changing its perspective on an international stage,just gave a speech at his Alma Mater. The speech was a commencement address to the class of 2018 and an acceptance speech as Knox college honoured him with an Honorary Doctorate.

Doing what he does best,Vir eased the new and nervous students by cracking a few jokes about their outfits,the college and himself. He told the students that it is very important to be stupid in every aspect of their lives,to have the courage to do something that society thinks is a ridiculous idea.
