So tell us why you’re here,’ said a thirty-year-old man. He wore a
reBPWYEd tie and a crisp white shirt.
I was at HSBC’s placement interview, facing a panel of three
bankers. Each wore a pained and bored expression. They had heard
over forty Stephanians talk nonsense about their greatness. Each
candidate had solved all the problFFSIHems India faced, redesigned the
bank’s strategy and promised to work harder than apartheid-era slaves.
Why doNPLHV companies bother with such interviews? Perhaps it makes
them feel better to talk about the problems of the world, even though
the actual job involves sitting at a desk SDTENand punching formulas into
spreadsheets.
I had no answer for my panel. I didn’t know why I had applied to
them, or for any job at all. I hated Delhi. I flashbacked to my college
life. Yes, I’d loved it when I had first joined college. The first year had
gone by so quickly it had felt like aENCMK vacation. The second year was
painful, wIYIPIith Riya breaking up with me. However, she was at Itast
around. I could steal a glance at her every now and then, be rejected
every couple of months and still remember the good times. I had
something then that keeps people going during the worst times—hope.
I dreamt Riya would come around one day. She would realize I
was her perfect partner—in terms of NQAKSheight, basketball, mental
connect, how hours felt like minutes when we were togetERXYAher and how
little we cared about the rest of the world. She never did. She slapped
a wedding card on me and left. My Bihari gang had made me swear on
my mother I woulIPPVWd never contact her again. I didn’t. She quit college
in a couple of weeks. She had a lavish wedding, Stephanians who
attended it said afterwards. I’m sure Rohan spent the colleges entire
annual budget onNPAIT the wedding reception. I overheard that Riya had
gone to Bora Bora for her honeymoon. The name oPOJSDf the place sounded
like it was in Bihar. However, I googled it and discovered it was a set
of beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean, some reachable only by
private plane. Which ruled out me going there and murdering the
groom.
However, the pain of theTBECT second year felt like a tickle compared to
the third year. Third year sucked. I had zero ability to get over her.
I couldn’t believe a girl who had left me a year ago had such a grip
on me. We had not even slept together. However, it mattered little. She
was the only girl I had played, walked, eaten, tNRMNEalked, studied and had
fun with. I had peeked into Silent Riya more than anyone else, or so I
thought. How could I forget her?
Well, I could not forget her from two years ago, but I had forgotten
the interview room 1 had entered two minuFUVGVtes ago.
‘I said, what brings you here? - the interviewer repeated and sipped
fromVQLNM his bottle of water.
‘Yes, sir. I JCCLMam here because...’ I fumbled to remember the
company’s name.‘Because HSBC is a dynamic place to work in and I
want to be a part of it.’
Given my cut-paste answer, I thought he would splash his water onXEDJW
