Thats My "NAME"

It was ten past seven... today; as usual I woke to a phone call from Mamma... It was pretty early not that usual me... But it was not surprising me either...

Took a deep breath, crawled out from my lovely soft blanket, checked my cell phone if any unread messages and in few moments I began to lift my heavy eye lip, and soon, I was asleep.

Showered after a couple of days and shampooed (I love running my fingers between my hairs) my hair, borrowed Avinash blue (my fav color) check shirt and trimmed my little French-cum-Indian beard... I was preparing for two interviews which was schedule on the very same day... I thought to extending the date... as it would be mental draining for me... so I called one of the company but we couldn’t agree to a time that was good for both of us...

Now, I must say these are the remarkable day of my life and unforgettable too... In my earlier days of my Interviews, I always had this in my mind that “Interviewers are like Lions, and what can a rat like us could do if Lion is roaring....” So I used to have nodded approval in my mind...But same time at the back of my mind I was confident that I am fit for the Job I am going to Interview for...

So back to the today’s workshop, it was my longest Interview ever... After clearing aptitude round, and telephonic HR interview, I have been called in the company for direct F2F Interview... The Interview was bit shocking... some glimpse... Though I am not a perfect story teller so excuse me if I do something wrong...
Interviewer: What is the meaning of your name “Ratnesh” (1st Question)Me: (shocked-not expected this!!!).. Ahem sir, it means King of wealth... God of goldInt: which one is right “king of wealth” or “god of jewels”???Me: hmmm, sir its “ratn” plus “esh”, which mean king of wealth.Int: but you said, “God of gold”??Me: In Sanskrit, it is “god of jewels” and Hindi it is “king of wealth” (trying to confuse & hide my mistake)Int: So which one will you prefer?Me: King of wealth.Int: So do you really have so much of wealth??Int: ok leave it, you tell who kept this name??Me: My father.Int: Was there any special purpose behind giving you this name??Me: (I Giggled) and explained some shit...Int: (suddenly) ok.. Why Electrical & Electronics Engg?? Y not computer science or Info sc? Not Interesting enuf??Me: they surely are but ....

So finally, the discussion and researched around my Namkaran (traditional Hindu Indian practice of naming the baby) wrapped after 10 min... And then some rambling coding in C and SQL, series of puzzles and questions based on graphs...

Though the questions thrown were quite annoying but I always tried to wear a smile... And as soon as I have finished with one company and took cab to be available on time for the second company... and things went pretty well...

So that’s the way my day ends... but each night always ends the same...
