Interview ‘don’t’s

A young man went for an IAS interview.

“When did India get independence?” He was asked.
“The efforts began many years earlier and the final result was in 1947″ He replied.
“Who was responsible for our independence?”
“There were so many. Whom to mention?. If I name one it will be a injustice to another”, he replied.
“Is corruption the number one enemy in our country?”
“Some research is going on the subject and I can answer with certainty only after seeing the report” he replied.

The interview board was very pleased with his original and thoughtful answers and asked him not to reveal the questions to others, since they were planning to ask the same questions. When he went out naturally others were curious to know what was asked. He politely declined, but one persistent Sardar would not leave him.

“At least tell me the answers” he pleaded, and our friend obliged. Then it was the turn of this Sardar. When he went inside, since his resume was slightly illegible, the board member asked him.

“By the way, what is your date of birth?” He replied, “The effort began many years earlier and final result was in 1947.” Somewhat puzzled, they asked another clarification. “What is your fathers name?” He replied, “There were so many, whom to mention. If I name one it will be injustice to another.”

The interviewer was incensed. “Hey! Are you mad or what?!”

He replied. “Some research is going on the subject. I can answer with certainty only
after seeing the report.”

Thank Aunty Jayne for that! :lol: And no offence to the Sardars… :wink:
