Interview

A room with three people sitting behind a desk. A chair is situated in front of them.
A knock is heard.
“Come in.” the mustached guy in the middle, Mr. Malhotra, says.
A guy timidly enters the room.
“Good Evening Sirs. Good evening Madam.” He says addressing the lady in green sari.
“Please have a seat!” Mrs. Goswami says.
The interview is for a post of teacher in a college.
The third member of the panel, Mr. Patel, who is almost bald asks,
“Do you hate students?”
“Why yes sir. I just can’t stand them.” the guy says losing his nervousness and becoming eager.
“Good! Good!” says Mr. Malhotra.
“Do you discriminate between your students and show partiality?”
“Why yes sir. You see I even lost my previous job because I gave high marks to a girl and not to our donator’s nephew.”
“I like you young man. What is your name and what is your qualification?”
“My name is Khan, Sir and I am a sadist. I recently completed my Ph.D.”
“Well Mr. Khan we like you but we can’t be sure that you deserve this job can you give us a demonstration?” Mrs. Gowsami asked.
“Sure Madam” Khan replied nervously.
“Ok say I am a student in your class who does not do well and Mr. Patel,” she points to Mr. Patel “is a great student. How will you deal with us?”
Khan gets up, points at Mrs. Goswami.
“You! Get up!”
Mrs. Goswami plays along. She gets up and says
“Yes Sir.”
“Tell me how to solve this sum using the method I will teach you in a couple of days.”
“I don’t know.”
Smirks.
“I am sure you will know the night before the exam.”
Khan breaks character and says,
“Madam you do realize I am assuming you are not a girl.”
“Of course, of course we are very chivalrous people after all.”
Mr. Patel gets up at this point and says,
“Sir, I know the answer.”
“Speak when you are spoken to.” Khan shouts.
“Your young generation has no respect. You guys are going to be the future of our country and you can’t even behave.”
“Bravo! Bravo!” says Mr. Malhotra.
“You have got the job. Just keep being unreasonable and make students life hell and you will go far.”
“Thank you, Sir. I won’t disappoint you.”
