Putting it Out There

Ø This is my first smart phone. Technically second, but given that I used that one for less than two weeks, this practically is my first smart phone (I have been using this for a month now). And its funny coz the first week or so, it seemed that the main purpose of having a smart phone is simply the phone. Managing that shit, customizing the Android, and taking advice from everyone who bought a smart phone before me.  It can start badly. But then maybe all the time I've spent on this thing will pay off over the years - if I don't lose it before then. Right now its most important use for me is playing online chess and watching some, er, videos. Coz face it, it's not possible to do any productive work on such a small thing, even as it is huge for a hand device. Desktops are being underrated currently. Even laptops don't provide the spacious feeling I get while using the detached keyboard of a lazy desktop. Sometimes old isn't really bad.

Ø When I see people still following IPL, it's as bad as they put it on that faking news joke. I mean what can they do. They lived all their lives watching that shit.  If it is good, they are just lucky - they will watch either ways. And there is nothing else to do other than watch cricket or porn for entertainment in India - porn is available in limited quantities. You can make navjot singh siddu stand there in middle of a pitch with a plastic bat and let him laugh, for like three hours, they'll watch - including the ads, there need not be a joke even.

Ø Recently I had an interview with a reputed bank. Profile wasn't what I was looking for but I still decided to have a go at the interview. Who knows, they may give me so much money that it doesn't matter how much the profile sucks. I should know better after all these years. As it turned out, I didn't give enough ough fucks to spend half an hour to revise the obvious basics. Standards for God's sake man. I did not even try to remember when they asked a question. I probably should not have gone to that thing is all.

Ø Ah, a lazy afternoon. I wish I had enough to afford a lazy afternoon once a while. 

Interview

This was the first time I attended a formal interview. It wasn’t exactly formal but they rejected me gently. So thought formal would suit the case.

And why did I go to the interview?

Well I am too bored with my current office with no one caring to shout even if I go regularly at 12 or 1 and leave without notice.

The salary is low too, but that is secondary.

This is what happened at the damn interview.

I went with the help of a referral, and I was made to stay back in the visitors lounge.

That was it. In my view that firm was already disqualified to have the honor of having me among its employees.

As if that wasn’t enough, a young guy aged around 30 comes up with a smiling face and takes me to a small cabin around the corner.

As if not satisfied from insulting me by the CEO not coming up to greet me, they had no AC in the place.

Then he made me sit in a small cushioned chair.

I shouted ‘Disgusting’

Actually, I thought of shouting ‘Disgusting’, but I had my dignity and composure to maintain. So I used my patience and said ‘Thanks’.

All that was one level but what happened next was too much even for so much of patience and humility I have at my disposal.

He was asking me questions. Yes, he was!

I decided to hang on, opposed to slapping him on the face and walking right out of the place.

Wait, that’s not it. He was asking me questions that I didn’t know!

Well, what kind of a business do they run without knowing that a single person can’t know all the things in the world?

Of course taxation was in my syllabus but I didn’t enact those stupid laws, did I?

Yeah accounting standards are must but you can learn them a bit late too, right?

I am telling you it was a pure waste of time to go all the way there, not to mention the fuel and other miscellaneous expenses..

I can’t but laugh at how insensible they were..

I mean come on, they didn’t even offer me some cool drinks or stuff!

Thank god they rejected me..

Otherwise I would have been forced to oblige their job offer, too nice to hurt other beings that I am.
