Kesh Him Outside: Khurana On His New Meme Fame
•
Dean of the College Rakesh Khurana's newfound status as a campus meme has left him unconcerned.
We know Rihanna and Viola Davis have come and gone, but don’t fret—we have a new celebrity on campus. Dean of the College Rakesh Khurana’s fame has soared in recent weeks since he became the face of Harvard’s new meme group, a Facebook page titled “Harvard Memes for 1% Elitist Tweens.”

Khurana, who is known on the page simply as ‘Kesh,’ has had his face photoshopped onto a wide variety of figures including Ke$ha and Spongebob Squarepants.
“Rakesh me ousside, how bow dah,” reads one post.
“You have been visited by HBS ’Kesh of the abyss,” reads another. “Psets and transformative experiences will come to you.”
Flyby sat down with Khurana to see how he is handling his newfound popularity. The Dean seemed unconcerned.
“I predict in the future everyone will have a meme about them,” Khurana said in an interview Friday. “It’s like kind of a version of Andy Warhol’s fifteen minutes, everybody will be a meme at some point in their life.”
We can’t wait for our turn—we’re sure it’ll be a “transformative experience.”
