Good morning everyone,

It's been quite sometime that I have been observing her. I didn't know what to speak more to her. She had been looking at the ECG monitor without moving her eyeballs even for a fraction of a second.

Usually, the ladies at this age look at the TV screen like this when their favourite teleserial plays. What's so fascinating about the ECG machine that she is looking at it with so much dedication?

Hmm.. is she a doctor?

Ofcourse, she is.. Why would she be in this room otherwise? To be here with the patient, she should either be a patient herself or patient's family or the doctor.

Wait a minute! So do you still believe that it is a prank?

Nah!! Those rascals don't have so much money that they can pull such expensive pranks. I must have fallen sick while asleep that's why they might have admitted me. Let me ask her.

"Dr. Sana! What has happened to me?", I asked.

Sana: Huh? I am...

The door opens and Dr. Subramania walks in along with two more in doctor's coat and a nurse. I wonder what's going on. Is this some kind of carnival show? Hmm.. Dr. Sana got up and stood in a corner.

"Hi Gentleman, this is Dr. Gupta and he is Dr. Iyer. They will asking you few questions. Just some random things you see. Don't worry, just be relaxed.", Dr. Subramania says.

Huh.. I am an management student, are they offering me a Doctor's role at the hospital since they want to have an interview with me.

"Okay! Sure! No problem at all", I say.

"What's your name?", Dr. Iyer asked.

"Sidharth Rahane, my friends call me Sid", I answer.

"What do you do at present Sidharth?", Dr. Gupta asks

"I am a final year management student from S.S. Business Management College. Today was my last paper but Dr. Sana informed me that it was cancelled as the paper was leaked.", I said pointing my hand at Dr. Sana.

The three doctors look at each other. Dr. Subramania whispers something to the other two and they nod.

"Thank you Dr. Sana", Dr. Subramania says looking at Dr. Sana. Dr. Sana nods no, her face showed some confusion. I really hope that she didn't lie about my final papers being leaked.

"Are you sure that my final paper got leaked?", I asked to confirm.

"Yes, it did. Dr. Sana is absolutely right", Dr. Iyer spoke.

"Are you married Sidharth?", Dr. Gupta asked.

"What? No! I am just 21.", I said

Dr. Gupta and Dr. Sana looked at each other and he nodded his head with his eyes closed as if he was assuring her something. Why are they acting so weird by the way and why are they asking me such questions?

"What's today's date?", Dr. Iyer asked.

"Huh? 25th April, 2012", I said. What a bummer! They are doctors and they don't remember today's date? How do they remember what treatment and what medicine to give?

"Are you sure?", Dr. Iyer asked.

"What? Why don't you confirm with the calendar or your phone doctor?, I speak feeling annoyed at the stupid question.

"I am sorry, tell me something about your family", Dr. Iyer asked.

"I am a only child to my parents. I lost my mother when I was 5 and my father expired last year. He was a great man of values. I always wanted to be like him when I grow up.", I said getting a bit emotional.

"I am very sorry Sidharth. I am sure you would grow up to become like your dad." Dr. Iyer said.

"Okay Sidharth, What is 956 + 225?", Dr. Subramania asked.

Hmm.. 956 + 225.. 11 carry one, 7, 7+1, 8, 9+2 is 11..

"1181", I gave the answer.

"Excellent. Who is the prime minister of the India at present?", Dr. Iyer asked.

"Dr. Man Mohan Singh", I said. Oh God, this looks like some UPSC interview.

"Management student, do you follow the stock markets?", Dr. Gupta asked.

"Ofcourse, I do", I said nodding my head.

"Hmm.. which figure is most popularly used to indicate the Indian stock market?", Dr. Gupta asked.

"Sensex from Bombay Stock Exchange and Nifty from National Stock Exchange.", I said.

"Superb, very nice." He appreciated me as if it was a rocket science.

"Do you have a girlfriend?", Dr. Iyer asked.

I tried to control my hormones but I couldn't and blushed.

"Yes.. No.. I mean I don't know.. I will be proposing to her today. She is my best friend and studies in my class as well. Her name is Gunjan. I was totally shattered when I lost my father but she was with me at that time. I would talk to her late night over the phone and she would listen to me. I didn't know when I started developing liking for her. Today, after the paper I was supposed to propose her but the paper itself got postponed. Anyways, even I was scared what if she rejects. I held myself last time with her help but this time I won't be able to take it. I am tired of losing people I love." I shared my personal life story with strangers.

"Hmmm.. Do you think she loves you as well?", Dr. Subramania asked.

"I don't know. She never gave me any clue but this is my last chance to tell her. I got a job placement via campus recruitment last month so I will be joining after a week. So I want to make sure our long distance relationship is set until I return.", I told them.

They looked at Dr. Sana who put her head down. Their behaviours are so strange.

"Hmmm.. right. Any mental trauma you are facing at present Sidharth? Depressions, stress, anxiety or tensions?", Dr. Iyer asked.

"No, I am brilliant in my studies so I know I will do well in my exams, I have a job in hand and I have Gunjan as a friend and soon she will be my life partner. Life is set! What else can I ask for?", I said with a smile.

"Okay. That is all with the questions we wanted to ask you, Sidharth.", Dr. Subramania said.

"So do I get the job?" I joked with them with a smile.

They smiled and nodded yes. They discussed something in a very low voice among themselves for a while. I wonder why they didn't involve Dr. Sana in their discussion.

She must be a junior doctor afterall this bunch looks pretty old. She is very young to be part of that oldies gang. But ofcourse not as young as me.

Hmmm.. she very attractive though. Her husband is one lucky fellow I must say. I won't deny the statement 'Men are dogs', because she brought out the dog in me. I have been continuously letching over her even after constantly reminding myself of Gunjan and the fact that Dr. Sana herself is a married lady.

Stop ogling Sidharth before she slaps you. Divert your mind to something else.

Divert to what? This oldies gang? God knows what they are discussing. I have answered all their questions correctly. So what are they upto now? Round 2 or Rapid Fire may be.

I chuckled at my own jokes and they looked at me. I put on a serious face. I hope they don't refer me to the psychiatrist for laughing alone like mad.

No!! I think the earlier option of ogling at the lady was better. I look at her again.

My heart is beating,
keeps on repeating..
I'm waiting for you..

Arghh.. Stop singing old romantic songs Sidharth. If at all they hear your inner conversation then they will give you a confirmed and permanent bed in mental ward.

The oldies gang had finally finished their discussion and turn back to me.

"So, what's my salary package?", I joked yet again making them chuckle.

I checked her expressions from the corner of my eyes, a slight smile escapes her lips. She's gorgeous.

Control yourself Sidharth. Control!! Even Nana Patekar was much more in control as Uday then you.

Huh! That was because the actress was Mallika not Sana. I look at her again.

Rrrrr.. shut up!! SHE IS MARRIED!! Don't look at her!!

"Jokes apart Sidharth. We need to tell you something serious, Sidharth. I know it will be a great shock but you need to be calm." Dr. Subramania said.
