"My name is Visalatchi Swaminathan, final year computer engineering, these are my certificates sir.." as I handed over my files to a  hand stretching from the other side of the table..

"Not bad Ms.Swaminathan, I see Mr Kalyan's recommendation letter,  I'm more than impressed I must say.. so where would you like the posting..? Banglore is where the headquarters are.. there is a free seat there. Are you interested? " asked the suited up man with a deep voice and glasses right above his nose.

"Yes sir! Yes indeed! I am interested!  I cant believe this... final year at honey well!" I jumped with glee.

"Yes Ms. Also, depending in your skills we may keep you permanent if you pass the finals. I will email you the details... until then, congratulations! Nalla paneenga! (you did  well in tamil)" he replied.

I got myself upright, " thank you sir! Have a great day!" I shook his hamd and walked out..

"Appaaaa I got the job! 2,500 ruppees even though im just an intern!  Super right? Kalyan's sir's letter only got me to this.. I must call and thank him."

"Congrats ma! Keep it up.. sure.. I will call kalyan don't worry.. so when will you be back home?" He replied in a low voice.. which is wierd. . Because he's a very loud person!

"appa... something wrong? il be there by 6.30 this evening.. bus from madurai (a well known town in tamilnadu) will leave at  4.. " I was worried.

"No no don't you worry! Haha.. infact I have great news for you too! You come home. "he got back his voice.

"What new appa.. ayyo I cant wai- no no d..dd.. don't tell me its about a marriage proposa-" before I could finish

"Hushh I know what is best for you.. we will talk about this later." He said firmly.

"appa no you can't do this to me! I am only  20! What's the hurry.. u just-"

"Sala! That's enough..  Amma (mother) is also interested soo we shall see.  Bye!" He hung up.
