Kathir: Hi bro
Interviee guy 1: Hi bro
Kathir: How has been your preparation.
Interview guy 1: It’s been good.
Kathir: Bro?
Interview guy 1: Tell me bro.
Kathir: Is it your first rime attending an
interview.
Interview guy 1: No bro.
Kathir: How many times have you..?
Interview guy 1: You’re asking me how
many times in this company or ...?
Kathir: I was asking about every
interview you’ve attended.
Interview guy 1: i have lost count.
There was a time when i was nervous
whether i would get the job, but now
I’m nervous about even clearing the
first round. I’m an average student. I
got my degree after clearing arrear
after arrear. Today 400 candidates are
attending the interview of which 3 will
be selected. One candidate will
definitely have a strong
recommendation. So, with 2 spots
remaining, how can i get a job?
Interview guy 2: He’s right.
Kathir: Yes. Where are you from?
Interview guy 2: Tambaram. You?
Kathir: My native is tanjore, now l’m in
a rented house in ashok nagar with my
friend.
Interview guy 2: Then there is no
problem of your parents nagging
before every meal. Only people who
live their parents know the pain.
Kathir: You’re wrong brother. To come
from our native place and look for a job
is much worse.
Interview guy 2: The friend you
mentioned, is he attending the
interview?
Kathir: Next batch. He’s waiting in the
cabin.
Interviewer: The reason you came
here even after being rejected in 18
interviews is your hope that you might
get an opportunity yes? Where did that
hope come from?
Kathir: Can i have some water?
Kathir: The reason he asked me why i
came here even after being rejected 18
times was not to know about me or my
situation. The real reason was whether
i can distinguish myself from the 400
candidates waiting outside and the
hundreds of thousands who are not
even eligible for this interview but still
struggling for a job. If i can distinguish
myself, why would i be rejected 18
times. I have to impress the people in
front of me by pretending to be
something I’m not. Yes, I have decided
to lie. Behind every lie I tell to impress
the interviewer lies a truth. The real
answer to the question asked to me
is....
Kathir: I woke up 2 hours ago. But i
couldn’t bring myself to open my eyes.
If i did that I’ll be hungry. Then I’ll think
about eating. Then I’ll think about not
having money to buy food. Then I’ll
think about not having a job for me to
earn. Then I’ll think about not having
the talent or qualification to get a job.
Then I’ll think I’m the most useless
person in the world, why should i
even... why should I even be alive? No,
I’ll sleep for a while.
Kathir: hello?
House owner: Hello. I’m the house
owner speaking. It was the two of you
who rented the house together, the
other guy pays his rent on time, what’s
stopping you. It has become a habit for
you now is it? If you want to live in a
place without paying rent then ask tour
father to build a house for you. Look, I
don’t have time to speak to you. Pay
your rent by tomorrow or else pack
your bags and leave.
Kathir: brother, can you bring a water
can to the blue house opposite to the
church.
Delivery boy: Oh that house, you are
yet to pay me for 3 cans. The owner
has told me not to give cans to people
who are yet to pay.
