I got selected in Motorola, and had a medical checkup as it used to be. It was in Wockhardt, and since it is very near to my company, I smuggled in for the checkup during my office hours. As soon as I entered, the receptionist verified my checkup-list and asked me to wait. I sat on the nearby sofa, relaxed. Soon a chap and his girl friend came and sat just opposite to me. They were chatting and looking at me, curiously. I thought for a moment, why, Am I that handsome? Again that lady was staring at me ! I found a little embarrassing, but didn't show.
Later one more lady came, she too, for a medical checkup, probably a company provided, just like mine. She was of my height and good looking. She came and sat beside me. I didn't care. Soon the receptionist called my name and I went to her, and while talking, I just turned around to have a glance at the lady who was sitting near me. Only then I found a photo hanging from the wall, with a subtitle saying, “Save your kid from polio, Take a vaccine today! ", I was taken to my feet, but didn't show it up !
Later I moved up to the X-ray room, and found this lady following me. She was filtered at the X-ray room entry and I went in. Later I came back and moved on for the eye checkup. This lady came back from the X-Ray room and again sat near me. I wanted to ask her, her name, but soon the eye specialist called me and I moved on. Coming back, I found, she was not there. I found myself a little nervous. I enquired the receptionist about that girl. The receptionist responded, by telling, she had gone for blood checkup. I waited quietly. Receptionist asked in a stentorian tone, "Don’t you want to check your urine and stool ? ". I woke up to the situation and moved on! Coming back, I found her sitting over there. Oh yes! I just moved on and sat near her. She was not looking at me, so I asked her name. She said, "Anjali ... ", and then she asked me mine. I asked her, which company she has got into. She seemed too polite and said "siinz", I couldn't hear it properly, but what’s there, I responded, "siinz is a very good company". She corrected, "Its not siinz, its nssiz". Still I couldn't hear it properly. But I didn't give up. "Oh, I think one of my friends is working in
nssiz". She arose again for the second time to correct me, but this time with a little more sound. "Its ANZ technologies". I tried to hide my impatience, "Oh yaa, you have the office here itself naa, in Cunningham road?”. She was going to reply, when the receptionist interrupted and she was called for the ECG test. If they did that test on me, at that moment, they could have traced some abnormality in my heart!
All my tests were over and she had something pending. The receptionist told, I could have my lunch and come back, since the doctor will be back only by 2'O clock. I looked back, but she was not there, and I hesitatingly retired for my lunch. I came back by 1:30 itself, hoping to find her there, but was disappointed to see one more guy sitting beside her. I think it was her company-mate. I about-turned and marched towards the hot Cunningham road for a walk to make it 2 pm.
