"after you have four years of experience, you can appear for ++++ examination"

"erm sir, what's the benefit of this exam, sir"

"well, you become a certified ++++ professional, ++++ pulls alot of weight in the industry. you know how much a ++++ holder earns?" *stops and stares at us for effect*

"no, sir, how much do they make, sir?" *tongue lolling out, saliva dripping on chin, typical rapid dog symptoms. yep, this boy's been bitten*

*rub hands together and sighs dramatically as slick fingers travel up greasy half
combed hair* "hmmmmmmm, around *quote random 6 figure number*"

"WOW, sir, really, sir"

*eyeballs scanning the class from half open lids, some of the enthusiasm wasn't convincing enough?* "yes, and that’s for freshers too"

"WOW, sir, where do we go for this examination"

"you go to any ++++ centre and ask for the prospectus, that’s it, simple"

*from the back* "if it's so good why don't you appear for this exam yourself"

"i'm appearing for it this year" *shot a half millisecond of annoyed look at the back, then it's back to mr. complacent*

"really, sir, how's your preparation like, sir. is it difficult, sir. will someone like me get through, sir?"

"not difficult, nothing is difficult if you try hard enough. of course, you'll get through" * the knight in shining armor routine ensues. after the theatrics, eyeballs the boy with serrated half smile*
"that's what i'm here for, hu?"
*there’s something about thirty two sharp yellow teeth flashing in cheap fluorescent light that induce compassion as well as a sort of unexplained dead wish in me*

*stunned silence*

"i'm in fact writing a book on this, sample is on my website www.________.com, it's not published yet, but i can take advanced orders"

*scribbling in notepad* "sir, how much is this. sir"

"how much do you think its worth" *smiles ruefully and flop down heavily on chair, as if the whole wide world tries to put him down*

"i don't know, sir" *curl lip around awkwardly and give the fifty-fifty hand flip* "maybe 350 to 400?"

"ok, then it's 410 to you people"
