Disclaimer : No offense intended. In my due respect to Bapu.
The lean fellow was told to take a chair . With a beatific smile and more-than-required ingenuity , he cornered his bony structure on the nearest one. But before he could smell the surrounding , the interviewer asked him his good name .
'Mahatma Gandhi " He responded with the same etiquette.
'What?' The interviewer was not sure for if he heard it clearly .
(The loud campaigners' ear-bursting calls for the coming Prime ministerial position as youth icon Rahul Gandhi , could be partly contributing to the interviewer's inability to listen properly, But this was also true that the job seeker was next to whispering only.)
" I am Mahatma Gandhi" The fellow underlined.
'Are you sure with your name ? ' The interviewer yelled almost " Who allowed you appear for this interview ? Don't you know that we are looking for Software Engineers and NOT any hermits, sage or mahatma ? '
' I badly need this job ' the replier's voice was too dim and was soaked in extreme politeness .
The interviewer almost X-rayed him from top-to-bottom . Something inside him relaxed his adrenaline.
He asked Gandhi - 'Give me your CV. So do you have at least 16 years of education ? If not, please don't waste my time'.
The interviewee felt bit comfortable. He handover-ed the CV to his interviewer .
For another 5 mins , he could listen the humming of the person seating in front - ".. studied law.. Truth ...Africa.... Freedom struggles... non violence... "
'Hmm.. so do I look like mad to you . Do you think I'll believe your this proxy? Get lost ...... don't waste my time. I don't like such jokes' Interviewer was fiery red.
Gandhi had a cocktail of surprise , sorrow and confusion in his mind.
He mustered to utter this much only - ' Sir! I don't lie . This is me only'
A pin drop silence prevailed to the every corner of the room - a silence of graveyard in fact.
'Okay - for the time being - I believe you , then too ... what about your name first - Besides being hermit (Mahtma) , you bear many other sobriquets - Mohandas, Bapu.. and .. Father of Nation ... . You must've got many other funny names I suppose " - The interviewer was satirical now. ' Do you have affidavits for all your names? '
He added "And how can you be father of this nation ? Are you married? How many children you have actually ?"- He roared with laughter this time.
The interviewee was silent hitherto .
" Sir, I don't have any affidavits. I tried but couldn't get (whimsical he was ).
I am very used to these names and don't know their provenance . I can only remember that some gentleman called Subhas, started calling me 'Father of Nation'.
I don't have any idea what was the intention of that gentleman to give me this uncomfortable tag , but he was sane enough to qualify Civil Service. " Gandhi finished.
'Okay, Okay .. I am least bothered to listen your all this drama. Tell me what experience you have in IT ? '
" Sir , I don't have any in IT , and as I am bound to be true , I can't add the fake ones from Hyderabad too . However, I have very good experience in leadership . I seat comfortably in the position of team lead or manager "--- The interviewee hesitated to utter the last sentence.
' Oh Crumbs !! NIL experience and Manager . You are really MAD .' The interviewer cry made Gandhi uneasy again . ' Tell me any other talent you have ? Or, do you know anyone in this company , any acquaintance, relative....? '
Gandhi nodded in nay.
' I am not sure I can help you anymore ' The interviewer sounded as diplomatic in saying this as he'd learnt in his entirety of career. "But , one thing for which I am still inquisitive .... If you are the same what you are in this paper ... why don't you continue as a lawyer or nationalist ? Why do you want this not-your-cup-of-tea mood change?
The job seeker was already nonplussed .
He managed to say - "Sir, Lawyer have turned liar and lie is at a pole distance for me. My knowledge in laws is of no use as there have been so many amendments in it that I am obsolete for this. The corrupts make law now. Entire democratic law is mob-ocratic now I really wanted to be nationalist - but the party I'd formed is full of GOONS now "
The Interviewee couldn't stop - 'My troubles are uncountable - Many people are coming forward , but less to fight the corruption and more to emulate me"
The lip-stitched interviewer found the man interesting first time.
He couldn't resist to ask - "Do you have any relation with our to-be- PM Rahul Gandhi and his clan by any sheer chance?".
"No, The worst is that now people are using my name too , particularly a clan who has no blood relation with me - but is still 'Gandhi' . I myself am duplicate now.'
" Moreover, today's pseudo - intelligent have stigmatize me for the division of a nation" He was deep sad.
It was interviewer's time to be confused who was hitherto smiling.
" Since my halcyon days are over - I badly need a job to survive. I couldn't even imagine PSU or Govt jobs. I thought that I won't have to be corrupt or liar in IT - but reckon I was wrong again. " - The perplexed job seeker cleared his throat . And emotions too.
"So how old are you? I really want to help you now . I will manage job experience certificate for you . You've to give up your stubbornness and learn some coding . " The interviewer was inched a bit by the story.
"Sir, I don't need any job now. I think my task is done here. Perhaps you didn't notice my CV properly "
The interviewee was gone.
The interviewer turned the CV and read on the top :
