LOVE AT FIRST SITE......

How can one fall in love at first site? How can one fall in love without knowing the other person? But these questions did not bother me when I first saw Prachi. I knew I was in love and it was magical.
I was forced by my friend Neha to accompany her for an interview in one of a BPO’s. I hated the idea of working in a call center. Doing night shifts was not my cup of tea. I was a bit apprensive before but later on agreed because it was just a matter of one interview and I was sure enough of not being selected. The next day dressed in formals I accompanied her. Some 25 to 30 candidates had come for the interview. Neha and I occupied the last chairs of the row. Everybody around looked tensed and nervous while I on the other hand was tension free. I kept on chatting with Neha on some or the other topic. Even Neha seemed to be relaxed because she was confident enough of being selected. While we were busy chatting I heard someone asking “who all are waiting for their first round of interview” I looked up to see who it was and there I saw one of the most beautiful girl with some papers in her hand standing right in the front. Few of them including Neha and myself raised our hands. I enquired about that beautiful girl from a boy sitting in front of me. He said that her name is Prachi and she was the one who is going to take the interview. I was overjoyed. Prachi seemed to be in her mid twenties. She had an average height with a figure to match. She was wearing deep blue denim and a yellow kurta over it. Her beauty was beyond description. The long black curls framed her angelic face. Her deep brown eyes were twinkling and sparkling with excitement. To compliment the rest of the face, her lips were covered with a light pink lipstick and were begging for a kiss. My eyes were just glued on her. I instantly fell in love with her. This was the first time I experienced love at first site. I just couldn’t stop complimenting her. She was standing right in the front speaking with two of her colleagues and then suddenly disappeared. I was really thrilled by the fact that she was going to take my interview. I had now started preparing and kept on asking Neha about the likely questions to be asked. I wanted to impress her by my answers. A few minutes later I was called inside a cabin. With my head high and a smile on my face I went inside only to see some other lady waiting for me to take my interview. I was a bit disappointed but thought if selected I could see Prachi daily and therefore gave the interview very seriously. Both Neha and I were short listed for the second round. We were told that the next round would be conducted after the lunch. We went to the office canteen and ordered sandwiches for our self. I could feel the attraction drawing my eyes through the crowd, searching for that special lady. Finally I saw her. She was sitting with her colleagues in the corner of the canteen. She was so lively when she talked. I could almost include myself into the conversation just by watching her hand movements. Her beauty was pulling me to talk to her but there was also a sense of fear in me which made me stand where I was. After having our lunch Neha and I went and sat on the same chairs where we were sitting before. I was feeling sleepy but did not allow myself to close my eyes. I was now determined enough of getting selected. Prachi came in and was doing some work. Her fast footsteps from one end of the corridor to another showed how busy she was. Now whenever she passed by in front of me I tried doing wired things to catch her attention but she was totally engrossed in her work. At last she saw me. I gave a big smile, she reciprocated with the same. I was totally flattered. Now every time she saw me I tried doing some funny activity on which she used to give a smile. I was enjoying every moment and wanted that that day to never end. I wanted to talk to her but was not getting any chance. Meanwhile it was time for our next round. Our second round was interviewed by a senior HR of the company. In the beginning I was a bit nervous while giving the interview but later on became confident. It was close to evening. Everyone had done with their interview and were anxiously waiting for the results to get announced. My eyes were busy searching out for Prachi. Finally she came with a paper in her hand and called out five names that were selected. Neha was one of them. I was disappointed for not making it. More than getting selected I felt bad about not seeing Prachi anymore. As soon as I turned down to walk away I heard a voice calling out my name. I looked back and was thrilled to see Prachi. She came to me and said; “I am sorry it was a mistake from my side, even you are selected” hearing these words I again had a smile on my face. For her I was selected in her company but for me I was selected in her love and it was just the beginning.
