The good samaritan

There are diiferent types of people.the loud ones and the silent ones. the visible ones and the not so visible ghostly ones ;)...the meek and shy ones ,the ever-ready-to-offer-opinion ones, the im-hopelessly-lost ones the i-laugh-at-everything ones and the ubiquitous  i-fall-for-everything one .The list just goes on.And if not anywhere else , youd always find a generous mixture of all these types on any train journey.
When all these elements come together, you get the choiciest bhelpuri served on board!
This time on my way to bby, the I-H-L was a college grad.And from the moment he dumped his luggage , he was trying to make meek conversations which would lead to tips on his pending mba interview.The bachcha must have been really freaked out, and this was probably his lucky day, cos traveling on board was one a  mighty mr.E-R-O-O!!
In 2 secs flat everyone in the compartment knew that Mr.Eroo had done his bachelors from iit, his dad was a proff there, and had done some post grad from MIT.Apna IFFE almost sat down at his feet, begging for guidance.
IHL:      "what kind of questions do you think they will ask"
EROO:  "ohh all kinds of questions. they know everything.they will ask you things you things you know  about and they will ask you things you dont"
IHL:      "so what should i do if i dont know something"
EROO:  "oh man, you have had it.Make a guess, any wild guess. They just want to see how much pressure you can handle.For eg, what is your hobby?"
IHL:      "err...surfing the net, hanging out with friends.."
EROO:  "ummm, what music u listen to"
IHL:      "kuch bhi..pop..rock.."
EROO:  "favourite singer kaun hai"
IHL:      "err..britney spears???"
EROO:  "uska bdday kabhi aata hai"
IHL:      "nai maloom"
EROO:  "wohi tho...abey nai maloom bat bol.kuch bhi bol dena..interview panel me unko sab kuch aata hai par yeh sab nai pata hota hai...bol dena 26th june"
IHL ..really excited at this amazing tip..."theek hai"
EROO:  "britney spears ka boyfriend ka naam pata hai??"
IHL:      "nai pata..par kuch bhi bol doonga, koi fight nahi"
EROO:  "abey nai yar, HT me roj aata hai..yeh tho sabko pata hai..koi timburlayka hai"
