-: The Second Hunting :-

After finishing my bachelors i had the first phase of hunting. The Hunting for a job which pays me for my bread & butter. After some years down the line, the Second and most important phase of Hunting started. The hunting for a SoulMate. Probably the most important HUNT of life time.
i would to talk about some of the most embarrassing moments of both the hunting phases.
I went for a interview with some XYZ company and cleared some 2 rounds of technical interview and was about to be hired by the company. To complete the formality a Manger should interview me. The HR was very keen to give me a offer and don't wanted to waste Time and there were no Mangers on saturday. I was seated in a meeting room where the HR told, he would give me a offer letter after a formal interview with some Manger. I was much happier that moment. He came back in some 10 minutes and said the CEO of the company is the only guy available and i need to talk to him for a while. He insisted that it would be totally a formality. I went and sat for the interview, and when the CEO started, i was feeling like "Oh God ....when will this guy leave me to go out, i don't want any offer or anything, please leave me !!!!! i will go and survive in some remote part of the world on air and water." His questions were more of why you wanna join my company only (non-technical)? what u wanna be after 5 years from now ? For which i told a big story(infact i used to have a pre-prepared answers for most of the HR question) and he did start asking 101 questions back. In the back of my mind i was feeling like, "Hey dude, i want some job to fill my stomach". Sadly i was screwed. I didn't get the offer too [:(]
Now coming on to the interview for the second hunt. I went to see a girl at her residence with my family(bro,sis,bro-in-law & sis-in-law). Totally 5 of us like Pancha Pandavas. We were received by the Girls family. It was so nice to be received like that. My bro introduced everyone to the girls family & the girls father introduced himself and his family members to us. I was made to sit aside on a different chair away from the other 4 of my family(like bali ka bakra). Then they called the girls who sat on a chair oppsoite to mine(though her father was sitting beside her). The girls Father asked me when did i come back from US and what my Dad & Mom are upto? My bro-in-law asked the girl about her education and some formal questions which we knew from her bio-data already. Her father asked me to talk to his her if i have any question. I was very much nervous that time,i had a eye contact with the girl just for the first time she came into the hall. After that i never raised my head to see her again[:(]. Poor guy don't have any experience talking to girl(especially when my family members were with me, I thank god at least i didn't go with my MOM & DAD, it would have been much more tougher than being with my siblings). I was quite for a while then the girls father asked me if i want to go alone with the girl and talk(he felt like i was shy to talk infront of everyone). I wasn't knowing what to talk and what not to ???
I just asked her where her office is?
she said ITPL.
That's it, my blood pressure went upto 200mm and settled down to 140~150 mm. i could feel my heart beat changes. Even in that hot room i felt the coldness of my feet(My feet was ICE Cold). After a bit of silence i looked at my bro and signed him to finish the conversation. My bro asked the girl to ask me question if she has any?
She started.....

SHE : how long have i been working?
ME : X years
SHE : which company am i working for?
ME : XYZ company
SHE : which are the other companies worked for earlier?
ME : ...
SHE : where was my company in Bangalore?
ME : XYZ area........ i rembembered my first interview of my life.

i felt like "Oh God please ask her to stop" i used to answer the Q in one or two word without a eyecontact with her. After a lots of question i was feeling like this Girl is better than me in talking. Atleast she wsn't that hesitant to aks whatever she had in her mind. Propbaly she had meet some 1~2 guys before me meeting her, so somewhat more experienced than me(basically i conviencied myself [:D]).
After coming out of their home, all my bro's & sis's were teasing me like, u shld changed the roles(The girl taking the placeof me and me taking the place of her) Till that day there were under the impression that i was candid and outspoken as i awlays do at home. i rembembered the popular Hindi quote "Har Kutta apne gali mai sher hota hai".
My Hunt is still on. Destiny would have written something for me. Hope that would come soon. [:)]
