I am back now after a long long break….

Actuly I completely forgot I handled a blog. U know busy wid studies naa….

Theres an interesting incident which I wud like mentioning here. This ws 13^th the Sunday we friends went for a cal center interview.

The interview goes on as below:

Tarjini maam: So u r Dhruv rite. (NO I AM HIS GHOST)

Me: Yes Maam.

Tarjini maam: So tell us sumthin abt urself Dhruv (USELESS QUESTION)

Me: Blah blah blah…..

Tarjini maam: U speak good English. (I KNEW THAT)

Me: thank you maam

Tarjini maam: Dhruv do u study anywhere. (YES AT BK SCHOOL OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT)

Me: No maam I left my studies long back in 2005 after completing 12^th standard (I HATE LIES)

Tarjini maam: Y?

Me: Maam actually we had a family and a financial crisis during that period. My family needed me so I left studying. (AND ONCE U SPEAK.. IT IS TO BE HIDDEN BY ANOTHEER 100 LIES)

Nishant Sir: But then u speak very well English.. (TAARIF PE TAARIF)

Me: Actually sir I have been involved in business since 2005 and we have a clientele from states like Bengal, tamil nadu and kerala. In south place they don’t use hindi as a language so I started learnin English myself

Nishant Sir: So y do u want to join call center now? (WHO SAID I WANT TO JOIN)

Me: I came to Ahmedabad for a couple of days for some business purpose. I liked here. I stay wid my frnds here. Our business is goin well. My dad can handle it now. My uncle maintains it. I am not bound to answer any one now. I am free to explore the whole world. Friends were coming here for an interview so I came here with them. And I heard call centers are also high salary job. (HMM..)

Nishant Sir: Call centers are not high salary job but they are well paid job.

Me: Sir what is the difference between both?

Nishant Sir: U get low salary in call centers but with extra income generated from ur efficient working and and other incentives ur total income can be more than double than ur basic salary.

Me: Ok sir.

Tarjini maam: So what salary do you expect here?

Me: I don’t know maam what are the contemporary standards of salary going on in the BPO industry but I wud expect something good.

Nishant Sir: and what good amount do u expect?

Me: I said I don’t know much about here sir.

Nishant Sir: But I would like to know the amount Dhruv.

Me: Sir I said I don’t know about money here. I know it is a high salary job because I had an informal discussion wid a friend who works at a call centre.

Nishant Sir: Listen Dhruv I want to know the amount in your mind.

Me: ok sir, I would consider 8000 rs as a fair and considerable amount

Tarjini maam: ok Dhruv but as your a fresher and not even a graduate we can’t give u that amount. May b u will soon progress to that amount once you join here.

Me: Ok madam.

Nishant Sir: Dhruv do u have a bike?

Me: Yes Sir but not here. I have at my home town. It is located near diu.

Nishant Sir: Can you bring it here?

Me: Sure sir, I can but in a week.

Than some English Hindi Gujarati translations were given to me. I passed them all successfully.

Nishant Sir: Ok Dhruv congratulations u r selected. U can join as early as possible. Can u join from tomoro?

Me: No sir I am sorry. I am here for some business purpose and it will take me 2 atleast to go back home and get back here with my clothing. (LIES)

Nishant Sir: 2 days how far is your place from Ahmedabad?

Me: I say it would be around 400-410 kms

Nishant Sir: Oh it is just 4-5 hours journey than.

Me: I beg your pardon but sir here to diu it takes aroun hours in a bus and 6-7 hours when u drive a car. I myself drove recently and it took me 6 and a half hours.

Nishant Sir: At what speed were you driving Dhruv? (FOOLISH QUESTION)

Me: Sir around 100 km/hr

Nishant Sir: At 100kms per hour you can easily reach Ahmedabad in 4 hours. (HENCE PROVED HE IS A FOOL)

Me: I once again beg your pardon but when you travel it is the average speed that matters as u cannot travel at 100 all throughout your way. (HOW CAN HE CHALLENGE A SCIENCE STUDENT??)

Tarjini Maam: Ok Dhruv wen can you join?

Me: Tomoro I have a couple of meetings than I will go home, I will be surely joining on next Monday.

Tarjini Maam: Ok than Dhruv than it is done. Next Monday final.

Me: (Smilingly) Yes Maam.

Than the salary was discussed briefly and was settled to 6000-6200 of total. I laughed out of my mind after this interview and I want you all also to laugh. They followed me up many times on cell and then finally gave up. A nice experience I say.

I will try to keep these blog updated now onwards. Lets c..
