In Aadhi Haqeeqat Aadha fasaana on January 30, 2009 at 1:25 pmI work at the Students’ Placement Office of IIT Kanpur as a Student Associate. A lot of other friends work there along with me. This is a small incident from the life of one of them: Prateek Vimal – the Overall Internship Coordinator. His post never had the word overall. He was just an Internship Coordinator until one day when he let slip his emotions after facing an HR. Since then he has been over all the females that have been to the Office and hence he is now ‘Over all’ Internship Coordinator (OIC). The incident:
//Action
Vimal is in the office with few others when the phone rings. Vimal jumps and takes the receiver… there’s a girl on the other end. Let’s call her MM. Vimal talks to her. She needs some help with applications et cetera. Vimal helps her out (or so he told everyone).
Later in the evening, another Student Associate, Anusha, walks in:
Vimal : (Bihar all over or overall) Hi, kaaaaaisi hain aap!
Anusha: Hi! I am fine. Kya chal raha hai?
Vimal: Aaj aapki batch ki ek bandi ki help ki maine.
Anusha: Oh! Sahi…good
Vimal: Bata dijiyega unhe…maine madad ki thi.
Anusha: :O
Vimal: ![]()
Anusha: Samjhi nahi
Vimal: Bahut nasamajh hai aap.
Anusha: huh!
Later, everyone else walks in. Vimal announces his feat to everyone.
Vimal: Aaj maine inke (points at Anusha) batch ki ek bandi ki madad ki.
Chacha-Jadoo-Gangu: Toh?
Vimal: To kya! Madad ki maine. (To Anusha) Bata dijiyega unhe ki maine ki thi.
Anusha: :O Kitni baar bolega? Bata doongi.
Vimal: Arey unhe pata chalna chahiye na ki kaun tha.
Anusha: Theek hai baba.
Later, ANusha is ready to leave the office:
Anusha: I will take leave now.
Vimal: Kyun? Kahaaaan jaa rahi hai aap?
Anusha: It’s my friend’s birthday.
Vimal: Bhoo ij this phrend?
Anusha: Eh… (Everyone’s looking at her now)…MM
Vimal: Unhe bata dena aap!
Everyone: Hey Bhagwan!
//Cut
//Scene 2 – Action:
A few days later MM walks in the office for an interview. Vimal is in his seat when she passes by and then…
Vimal (jumping up from the seat): Arey…suniye!
MM (shocked): Huh! Haan…
Vimal: You had called SPO earlier.
MM: Yes
Vimal: I had helped you ![]()
MM: Okay (leaves for the interview)
Vimal (scratching his head): Arey…koi response hi nahi! Kya bakwaas hai.
Everyone else:
//Cut
Aage hai…
