Technical Interview...
Ramesh's mobile started ringing Sunday morning 7.30 am. He just opened his eyes to see some unknown local number on his cell.
He just got up from desk and said hello. Desk? Anyway, Don't put stress on your brain, this crazy workaholic guy had stayed overnight in office.
Can you imagine to spend your Saturday night in office? But yes our friend Ramesh actually does it very often.
The voice on the phone said, "Can I talk to Ramesh? This is Praveen calling,I am Rameshwaram's colleague."
Ramesh was bit dazzled, thinking why this guy is calling him when he has lost touch with Ram for ages.
Praveen was very polite in asking , "Very good morning to you. Can I take your some time?" Our nice humble guy Ramesh could not deny his request though he was little irritated.
Praveen Started," I want your help. I am running in last phase of my project and Ram told me that you are very good in servlets and JSPs. I have some doubt in these areas. Can you help please?"
Was Ramesh the only person on earth to know JSPs and servlets?? Sunday 7.30 am and JSP /Servlets?? Was Google not working anymore? Were all book stalls on strike??
But all these thoughts did not strike Mr.. Ramesh's brain. And they decided to meet over lunch "TO DISCUSS JSP/SERVLETS".
Though they had decided to have lunch at "Swagat Restaurant", Praveen asked him to meet at Chandra bazar which is some 500ms from restaurant.
Mr.. Ramesh could not get the logic of this move, but as usual he agreed.
Ramesh drove down and reached 10 mins before time and Praveen reached at 15 past 2. After waiting for almost half an hour, Ramesh was dripping with sweat.
In spite of being so hot, Praveen insisted to park the bike there and walk down to restaurant ...... totally nonsense isn't it?
Waiting for unknown person to discuss technical issues, then waiting for half an hour...and finally walking in hot sun...What a crap!!!
Finally there were on lunch table, they discussed about their family backgrounds, job , salary and some other crap things. Weren't they there to discuss JSP/Servlets?
Praveen offered a cigarette, he asked ramesh for a Beer as it was getting hot outside, but our Gentleman refused.
Then a Technical Interview went for around 45 mins. But None of the question were like kind of questions which Google cant answer.
Finally all confused about this purpose of meeting, Ramesh paid the bill and left.
He never got answer to his questions about that visit until he got married.
After marriage, he discovered that, the person who came to meet was His wife's some distant relative who had come to take his matrimonial test.
Now all his questions were answered. Praveen asked him to walk in the hot sun because he wanted to see if the Guy walks properly or not?
He offered him beer to see if the GUY drinks/smokes or not? He made him pay bill to see if he is earning enough to spend money like this.
And that was the day when he realized, now you need to give Technical Interviews to get into the company called "Arranged Marriage"... A company from where it is almost impossible to resign...
