Celebrity for a day...

Funny are the ways of people who are new to something. Well I handle campus recruitment and my sole duty is to visit colleges in Tamil Nadu and recruit freshers for the following year. Its a challenge to get the prime slot that is the Day 1 slot and most companies fight tooth and nail to get it. We almost always get a day 1 or day 2 slot. Anyways, there was this college we had never visited before. They themselves called and offered us day 1. We thought we might as well give it a shot coz you never know the students might just be really good. We sent the tech panels earlier. My boss KR and i left a little later. We were just planning to leave, well the cab driver was missing. We tried calling the cab service and they couldnt help. Finally he came walking out of OUR office, slowly. When KR hailed and asked him to come faster, he actually waved back saying he will come slowly.
Fine, we left. The driver was a PSYCHO. If he couldnt overtake he would slam his fists on the steering wheel. If someone called he would speak to them like he was the boss. We hadnt even reached the airport and when the other driver called he said he had crossed the airport long back. KR and i werent quite sure if we would ever reach. We turned into a road and KR told him to ask someone where the college was. He stopped at a place where there was NO ONE. Guess he expected to look up at the sky and see some sign. After all that havoc we reached in one piece.
We just got out of the car. A whole lot of people crowded around us, shook hands, gave us flowers, took photographs. Neither of us knew what was happening but we simply smiled and went on to the control room. All neatly arranged. They forced us to breakfast. The arrangements were done by a 5 star hotel. Why God knows !!@#!@ We went on to make the pre placement talk. Mr KR was introduced as Dr. KR. His expression was priceless. Then he was introduced as the Location Research Manager though he was the Location Resource Manager. I couldnt quite control myself. KR was also felicitated with a shawl. LOLLLLL. He looked like he was getting a Ph D or something. Ohh by the way the prayer song killed me. They tried to sing Mahaganapatim. I love that song... well atleast i loved it till then. The words were all wrong, the rendition was.. well i wished i was deaf thats all.
The day went on like that. The faculty was all over us. The placement officer smiled like we were stars she had never seen. There were a lot of mishaps but they tried covering it up. Finally the day winded up and i had no energy left. Came back to office. There was a crisis situation. I was hoping to head home straight. Thankfully i checked my mail. Everything sorted i reached home at 10!!. Now im back in the office and honestly wondering what the hell im doing here... :)
