knock knock!! whose there ? Sir: job for you

Too good a day for me though. Never had a plan to sit for the company, sleeping happy in my bed,my friend Arjun comes and woke me up and asked me to go the company, just freshen up myself and went for the PPT of a software company , over there was busy in seeing a girl,whom i liked when i was in 2nd yr. In the whole PPT i was just seeing her didn't listen to a single word about the company and its details. Later it was the time for written test. I was planning to go room and sleep, my friends pulled me up for the written test, heard it was a aptitude test,thought why not just give a kick and enjoy it. Sat for the paper, the instructor gave us the details about the aptitude paper and it was 15 question in 30mins interestingly it had even negative marks, was shocked about it. Well, the time started for the aptitude. I was zapped in the 1st question itself, was like totally confused,because people here are practicing for aptitude from long time and over here i thought i will practicing in this test, all 15question was out of my way,it was like a nightmare for me. Started solving some of them,1 or 2 i copied from my neighbors and some i solved of my own, later i started talking to neighbors, the invigilator screwed me and asked me to go out of the room, i did as they asked me to do,i just solved some 7 of them out of 15, i knew that will never make through. Came to hostel chatted with friends for a while and went to sleep,few minutes later gets a call from one of my friend and says come immediately to conference hall,i just ran to the place. They gave a form and asked us to fill it. I though after that they will allow us to change the cloths but they never let us to go out of conference hall, it was kind a weird situation. Everyone over started calling there friends asked them to get formals,even i called my friend Arjun to get the formals he got me and then i wear it ,in one of the office,now i was partially formals, with out bath,shave and shoes. I was waiting for somebody to give me the shoes after they are through the interview, later a buddy finishes his interview comes out,i could see the shoes in leg, i asked him and lucky he gave me the shoes and it was of perfect size. Within no time they called me for my interview,went in sat there,felt like out of this world, with total confidence sat there and i was ready to face the interview. Basically it was kind of HR and he asked me about the leadership, without any preparation and with a sleepy face i said some bullshit,he felt the answer, he was impressed by that, he said its GOOD, i felt happy it made me to increase my confidence, later some more question from here and there, at last he asked me to write an essay,i was shocked for a while,what the hell is this, but lucky the topic was so sweet, he asked me to write about Himachal, i kept on writing,after a while he asked me to stop,but i asked for few more secs to complete my sentence then later he asked me to leave, instead of leaving just like that, like a mutt i asked him, sir whats your name, a sudden question even for him, am sure even he felt like out of this world, he said why do u want my name, i could find any reason to say but said to him that, i want to know the persons name who took my interview, he smiled and said Rahul. Even i smiled and left the room, came out,everyone started asking how it was and what all they asked and all those question, i said something and one of my friend Nistan jain pulled me a side asked me to relax, he was the one who built my confidence before and after the interview. The interviews where over and they asked all of us to come and sit inside the conference hall for the results. So one of them had results and he started answering the names, lucky the 1st name was mine,i felt like shouting then and there itself but controlled my self,10 of us got placed and we started hughing each other with happiness, it was an awesome feeling. Then we sat down,one of the sir called my name and said what u wanna say at this moment, i just stood and said i am happy and i have no more words to say, everyone started laughing even i laughed and sat down. That how the i got my job. Being a meddy i got a software job. Its true don't over confidence for everything just wait for your day and success is at your step.

You actually asked his name _just_ before leaving?
That would have been a little awkward for the guy ;)
