The Interview

She was there to attend to the rituals of her late granny. Poor lady, people were saying, had faced many downs in life but was lucky enough to see her great grand children. General mood was melancholic except for the priest's of course, who was being gifted a gilded ladder that reflected clearly in his greedy eyes. Later a grand feast was organized in granny's honor, she failed to understand how people could savor the delicacies served, given the occasion. Gradually food started to get worse out of people, at least she thought so. What else could explain the sudden announcement that she was to be interviewed soon by some prospective in-laws. Well, she felt sick at the thought but decided to derive maximum fun out of it. Thus she entered the room where a graceful lady was seated on a big sofa.

Graceful lady, smiling: "Come over beta, sit beside me."

She, almost dropping herself on the sofa: "Thank you." 

The graceful lady was obviously disgusted by the undulations on the sofa, but the smile on her lips persisted and initial pleasantries were exchanged.

Graceful lady: "What are your office timings?"

She: "Well, 2pm to 11pm."

Graceful lady: "Hmm, that must be changeable, right"

She: "No, It is based on my sleeping pattern, I can't get up before afternoon."

Graceful lady: "How do you manage food?"

She: "Our maid manages that :)"

Graceful lady: "How about post marriage?"

She: "What else a mother-in-law is for :D"

Graceful lady: "Hmm, OK. You mentioned you stay with friends, I am cool about the ways of youngsters, so I am asking specifically, by friends you mean gals or guys?"

She, grinning for being given such an excellent opportunity: "My good male friends stay in other cities, so I had to settle with girlie roomies here, otherwise I don't mind sharing rent with guys :D"

Graceful lady, with eyes almost popping out, but still smiling: "How about your relationship with your parents?"

She: "I am a person of my own free will, I don't care about them :D"

Graceful lady: "It was nice talking to you Beta. :D "

She: "Thank You Very Much, Aunty."

She completely meant it for she was grinning from ear to ear and was grateful to the lady for spicing up her day and making her second interview a truely memorable one. First was her job interview...
