record, SAMOSA & viva

After the usual unsuccessful practical exam our Hero has come for the viva voce of 1st year degree... where you often get a lump in the throat for wrong reasons...!
the examiner was verifying records... and our hero was waiting his turn... now, this examiner is someone who also puts marks based on the kind of books which is being reffered by the student...our hero is someone who reads nothing but the lab manual which doesn't have an author!... but he has byhearted names of few authors... finally his turn arrives...examiner continues to correct the records and in between asks questions...


examiner : ok, which all books did you refer...

Hero : sir, lab manual


examiner : ? ! ? other than that....?


Hero : sir, Milaman and Halkias , Resnic and Haliday


examiner : go on...


Hero : Halkias and Milman , Haliday and Halkias


examiner : ?? ok, thats good...so, how do you findout the heat rating of a bulb...?

(in the mean time, tea and samosa for the examiner arrives...)

Hero : ( with a grin from ear to ear, thinking what exactly is this heat rating) sir, touch the bulb with your palm...the more hot is the bulb the more its rating...


examiner : ????? grrrrrr , how do you test the material inside a wire?


Hero : whose wire, sir ?


examiner : what do you mean...??????(now, this wire ,when heared in malayalam...has a different meaning...! poor hero's innocent mind didn't forsee that)


Hero : I mean, which companys wire are you talking about, sir...?


examiner : you idiot....leave it...your viva is over, you can go.......


the samosa is smiling at the hero, hero feels that there is enough water inside his mouth for titanic to sink...hero smiles back at the samosa...Examiner continues to correct records and in between he says

examiner : ok, take it...

Hero : !!!! No , thankyou sir


examiner : common, take it and leave...


Hero suspects there is something wrong with examiner or maybe he is so happy with the record ! and reluctantly takes and eats the samosa.after few seconds examiner looks at the hero and then into the plate to find that the samosa has disappeared..!

Examiner : who told you to eat the samosa...? I told you take your record and leave...

Questions out of the syllabus...

"but aren't you working in sutherland...? "

yes...I heard it right...sutherland...! her eyes , blinking at me with a question mark as if looking at a culprit...even though it was winter, i was sweating under my collars...! oh...so last time I had told her that i work in sutherland...so whom did I tell that I work in wipro...?
maybe someone else...! but now I gota answer this query...

"oh ma'm, I am very much in sutherland, but u didn't know..? sutherland tied up with wipro few weeks back..so now I work for sutherland's wipro section in kochi ...."

ma'm--"oh is it so...! and you are the... ? (in wipro)"

culprit--"well, HR in wipro"

ma'm--"oh ..! cool... then you can be of help...my son has got an interview in wipro next week in the kochi office...so I request you to do the needful"

culprit--(oh...god..please dont do this to me...again...) "well, ma'm , ofcourse I'll see to it that
your son gets selected...! afterall you are the one who saw me through in many of those practicals during college...!"

and I escaped for the moment from my ex-lab supervisor at college...

I'll have to seriously consider making a table of all those companies in which I am working against the

name of my well wishers, who I'll be meeting during my brief stint at college during the next few days. because now I realize that blabbering too many things to too many people and needing to recollect the details at later stage and not being able to correlate the data with the receiver, sweating under the mild winter sun in front of the ex-lab supervisor,etc...isn't as good a feeling as not turning up for the first-show with the (gal)friend because the matnee with another of those gal(friend)s didnt get over early enough to go to the first show ..! etc...so the table must be made asap...or else the winter sun is gona make me sweat more frequently for the
next few days!

name ...... I am working at

miss.x -- sutherland
mrs.y -- wipro
miss.a -- radio mirchie
mr.b -- nameless s/w firm
mr.c -- doing some course in some city of kerala
miss.l -- ayyooo...miss.l is a friend of both x and y...
okay...sutherland ties up with wipro...!

few other possible questions...

"but what are you doing at college now...?"

possible answers....

(god damn...%&^*question out of syllabus)...change topic...give as wide a smile as possible which can convey more than one meanings...oh, my bus is coming , lemme go, catch ya
later...

"ok...whatever...where do you work...?"

possible answer

tell me whose friend are you...?
