@Ramsha your way of expression really frustrates me. I am more frustrated that you used your influence on NAB officials and they acquiesced. I am also amazed at the mindset of using "influence". You are not special at all to get special treatment for special interview... This means they will hold our merit list and set up another interview committee to interview an special person. Secondly, your information is incomplete, they have already finished interviews of Addl Directors. May be you apply your influence once again to take your all three interview together. If you were so interested in NAB job, why did you travel to US when it was in everybody's knowledge that interviews were around the corner. Y

I was in the US when I learnt a week before that the written test was to be held on 22nd June I rushed back to Pakistan to take it. I postponed my important visit to UK in September, because I thought interviews could take place any time. I do not belong to privileged class, hence I do not yearn for this kind of red-carpet treatment. This is irony in Pakistan that people hold the official business in state institutions hostage to their will, and get the things done as per their choice.
I can understand your feelings, dear. I somewhat feel the same way as well. But, we must approach this matter prudently. I don't think you have noticed but the lady had not disclosed her reasons for being in the US. I don't know what the reason is. Perhaps she's there for her treatment or the treatment of a loved one. Or, perhaps she's there to attend a funeral. We have no idea why she is there. Further, she did not detail the entire conversation that took place between her and rhe particular official of NAB. She only gave us two lines about it so to form a judgment based based on that would be a bit rash. The evidence isn't sufficient to reach a conclusion, dear. I am not supporting her here, but at the same time, we cannot condemn her because we don't have the whole story. Of course, the part where she used her influence to get a new interview date was wrong but if her reason was a genuine one and the person whom she spoke to was not ready to concede to her request to reschedule the date, then did she have any choice? I do agree that if her reason was not a genuine reason and the person rightly refused to change the interview date, then in that case, I think this needs to be condemned.

I, too, lost my temper when I read her comment but then I decided to look at it rationally and not be judgmental.
