PART 7
S: Aadi..Can you continue with the interview. I am tired and leaving.
Sasha leaves...and Geet didn't expect this to happen.
G: Aadi sir...I am sorry for this
A: Its aaal right Geetttika...
Geet notices that Aadi stammers a lot but very nice and sweet guy.
G: Sir, You can call me GEET
A: GEET...😊 Infact, I'm sorry for my colleague's behaviour.😳
G: No problem sir I can understand her state of mind...let her get well soon () But sir...I would definitely like to mention a point here if you don't mind
A: Sure
G: Sir..During the interview its not only the interviewers who judge candidate... the candidate get to know the interviewers and the entity they are going to work with. Whether the candidate gets selected or not selected, they should never leave the interview room with a sad note. Who knows, the same candidates you are interviewing will be your clients tomorrow...and will any of these candidates even decide to request quotation from you after having such an unfriendly interview?
Aadi is amused with this point which is very very valid.
Aadi: I...I can understand what you are trying to say...You have a valid point. I apologise once again.
G: Sir...Please don't apologise as you didn't contribute anything to whatever happened.
And sir...I am sorry for attending the interview in this attire. I had to attend a wedding this morning and it got delayed.
A: Geet...You said it yourself...your profile will be shortlisted purely based on your professional grounds right? I vote for it.
G: Thank you sir 😊
A: Now... lets continue with the interview.. To begin with personal questions
Why you didn't decide to continue with your future career from Bangalore?
G: I felt a need to make a fresh start from a fresh place. This helps me to be independent and I will understand my own responsibilities. That's why.
A: You have applied for a Business Analyst cum PA role...can you tell me what do you expect this position to be?
G: Well...I am a fresh candidate but with my Education and knowledge I can say keeping your company in Point of View...I need to analyse various projects from time to time...need to prepare weekly, monthly, quarterly, half yearly yearly reports...reports in a sense not only in excel sheet but need to study and strictly analyze various factors that are taken into consideration. For this I need to constantly be in touch with the Boss and with other departments heads say marketing, operations, projects, architects, contractors...Attend various client meetings and so on...
Aadi is shocked and lost looking at Geet with open mouth 😮
G: Sir...I am just sharing my point of view. Kindly excuse if there are any mistakes or wrong information. Also, wanted to keep it short and simple.😳
A: WOW Geet...In fact I must say that it's the best ever definition I have heard till now. Keep it up.👏
G: Thank You 😊
A: So, do you think you fit into this role?
G: 100% said Geet Confidently
A: Geet...you need to wait for sometime at the reception till you are called for the second round of Interview.🙂
G: Sure Sir and Thanks for Everything.
Sasha comes to Tasha's cabin...and screams... throws the files on the table. She is terribly upset as she was let down by mear a fresher.
Sasha: How dare she? Us behenji* ko tho main... (I need to see to that behenji)
(A/N -*Behenji is reffered to old fashioned girls. Please remember this as I will not keep repeating this translation )
Tasha: Saashaaa...Mera matlab hain Ma'm...What happened? Aap ko isse pehle itne gusse main kabhi nahi dekha ( I have never got to see you this angry)
S: Haan Tasha...subhe se tho sab tik ja raha tha par patha nahin woh behenji kahan se aagayi? 😡 (Everything was going fine but wonder where this behenji came from)
T: Kaun? (Who?) 😮
S: Kya naam hain us ka...Geetika Iyer (What's her name? Geetika Iyer) She says this with all nagging actions. She back answered me...how can she? I was forced to leave the interview room as I couldn't trace what else to ask her...😡 Sasha says this by tapping her right foot harshly invariably hurting her self ()
Maan had a meeting due to which he was late to office. He walks in to the KC with his typical MSK style when Aadi was interviewing Geet. Once finished with the interview. Aadi gave him the interview status and made him listen the last 3 interviews that were conducted...Maan was really taken back with the way Sasha had behaved with the candidates. And he almost lost himself when Geet's recording came...he was impressed with her language, maturity and the way she handled the interview atmosphere. Maan was taken back with her note when she mentions that today's candidate can be tomorrow's client...He never thought this logic seriously. Also, he liked her definition for Business Analyst.
Once finished...Maan calls Sasha and all THREE decide on the further shortlist. They shortlist 3 candidates for the second round of interviews...there was a big argument for the third candidate as it was GEETIKA...
S: Sir...you are shortlisting this girl? She was not a good candidate.
M: Sasha...Why do you think this girl shouldn't be shortlisted?
S: Because...because...she doesn't have any experience and on top of that she back answered me.
M: We knew she is a fresher before calling her for the interview right? And what did you say her that forced her to back answer you?
Sasha remains quite and didnt know what to comment.
M: I came to know that all the candidates left with a sad note..What image will they have about us and our company? Do you have an answer for this?
S: MK...My only intention is to select the best candidate for you.
M: Oh really? So...who is the best candidate out of the lot in your opinion?
Now she is confused... She shortlists one of the candidate who was actually mute and dumb and listening to all what Sasha says. She shortlists her just to avoid further arguments...
S: Sir...this candidate is good...please add her to the shortlist...
Aadi didn't even bother to see this candidate profile as he was least impressed with her. He seriously wonders how Sasha shortlists and under what criteria.
M: Fine...Lets meet this candidate as well. Add this profile to the shortlist. He turns to Aadi now.. And Aadi...whom did you like the best?
A: Sss...ss...ssir...As I told you...I have shortlisted Geetttiika. She is very good candidate.
Again Sasha gives an unconvincing look to Aadi which he doesn't give heed now and he continues with what he felt about Geetika. ...Lets give her a chance for the second round of interview. Sir...there is one plus point in her that she converses in 4 different languages including 2 languages from South. If she is given this opportunity we can easily coordinate our south Indian projects.
M: Oh really? Interesting!!...We have been facing lot of difficulties in coordinating the projects across the south. Anyways, will take my final call only after interviewing these four candidates.
Now in total there were 4 candidates for the second round of interview...which were announced by Pinky to the candidates who were waiting in the reception.
P: Geet...Congrats, so far so good..Main tho soch rahi thi ki us sasha ki bachi ke wajeh se tumhara application reject ho jayega... (I was worried that your application would get rejected due to that evil Sasha) Says Pinky Munching the fresh packet of chips.
Geet smiles...Thanks Pinky...Thanks for Every thing.
Geet thanks her god..Bhagavaane Romba nandri (Thank You very much Babaji)
The interview begins...Aadi and Boss in the interview panel (Thank god no Sasha...actually its good for Sasha )
The names of the candidates were called one by one and each candidate were given a time frame between 5-15 mins purely depending on the performance.
Sasha's candidate was taken even lesser than 5 mins
Finally...Geet's name was called.
Maan is sitting in his usual place and Aadi sits on his right hand side and candidate sits on the left hand side facing Maan.
Maan gets a call on his mobile..he gets up turns around to face the wall behind...and starts talking
Geet walks in...Come in Geet...Says Aadi.
Maan finishes with his call...He slightly turns around and is taken back with what he just saw...Its the "Chennai Girl" who has been disturbing his thoughts for the last 2 years and she is currently talking to Aadi...He was not sure of what he just saw...Oh no...Not again! Why am I getting to see her everywhere? 2 days back I got to see outside that restaurant in Delhi and now in office too? I am really loosing it. 😖 He is trying to relax and close his eyes for a minute and then turns around to face her and Aadi and this time he is sure that its that Chennai Girl. and its reconfirmed when Aadi introduces her
A: Ss...Sss...Sir...She is Geetttika...Geetttika Iyer..
Geet smiles at Aadi and turns to smile at Maan...Oops...she missed a heartbeat...Her big eyes got even more bigger. She is not able to come to terms with what she got to see...THAT GUY WHOM SHE GOT TO SEE IN CHENNAI two years ago....She doesn't believe and she is damn sure that she is hallucinating. She cutely looks up for a brief second and prays to her babaji...Aayyoo Bhagawaane...ithana naal en kanavilum ninaivilum ennai thondharavu seinjadu podhadha? Ippo nerla vandhu thondharavu panraane!! 😨 (Hey babaji..wasnt it enough that he was disturbing me in my dreams and imaginations...and now, why am I getting to see him in standing right in front of me?)
Invariably both were looking at each other without a blink of an eye
Precap: Hmm...finally they get to meet... 😉 Will Geet get the job offer?

Awesome and so Fantastic Part . Sasha is all frustrated that she had to leave because Geetika answered her back and Sasha had no words for her . Adi also gives the recording to Maan to listen and he is taken aback with Sasha's way to interview . Maan and Geet see each other in the interview room and both are thinking they are hallucinating
