Caller  : Is this Meghna Garg from ABC ltd.
Me      : Yes..... (hopes rising...:-))
Caller  : I am xyz calling from blah blah consultancy

Caller  : I wanted the number of your HR deparment......(pause)
Me      : ???!!!! (confused) what??? why??? (thinking all sorts of things)
Caller  : I wanted to ask about the empanellent of our consultancy at your company...

Caller   : From your resume on the job portal :-P :-) (perhaps grinning at her own smartness)
Me      : Here goes.....xxxxxxxxx (
             (chickened out from a smart cookie reply hoping someday she'd call me for the right reason ;-)
Me     : (Aloud to my fellow co workers) What a NERVE!!!!!
