Why ?
Phone Rings… I pick up.
Random Caller(Rc): Hi May I speak to Arpit Jain ?
Me: Yeah. This is Arpit speaking.
RC: I am calling from Jyoti Vidyapeeth, Jaipur ? (Should I strike through the name ? )
Me: Okay Miss. So, How can I help you ?
RC: You have applied here.
Me(interrupting her): Applied ? For What ?
RC: For B. Tech ..
Me(Again interrupting): Why would I apply for B.Tech ? I have already completed my B. Tech.
Rc: Yes I know that. I was saying that you have done your B. Tech. and you have applied for becoming a lecturer in Computer Science in our institute….
Me: What ?? Why would I ?? Wait wait… .Which institute again ??
Rc: Jyoti Vidyapeeth .. (and something which I don’t understand)
Me: Wait a minute.
Me(To Dad): Papa, have you heard of any Jyoti Vidyapeeth Institute ?
Dad: Beta, suna toh hai, shaayad Ajmeri gate ke paas hai kahi par.
RC: Yes. Yes. Right. The same near Ajmeri Gate.
Me : Okay. But, I don’t think I have applied. Did I apply online ?
Rc: No Arpit. You have posted your details to us. Your resume is in my front and that’s why I have called you.
Me: I think there is some mistake and somebody else has posted the wrong Resume. Can you tell me the address from which this application was posted ? It should be somewhere on the back of envelope.
Rc: Sorry, but I don’t have envelope. I just have your resume.
Me: Ohh. I am sorry but I don’t think I have applied to your institute. Probably someone else sent the wrong Resume.
Rc: So you are not at all interested for this post ?
Me: No. And I will appreciate it if you can somehow let me know that from which address this was posted and I am sorry for inconvenience this might have caused you.
Rc: Okay. I will. Bye
Me: Okay Bye.
PS: Please people, stop playing pranks with me.
