The quiet hallway stretched before Priya as she held onto her handbag and waited patiently. She had come for a job interview and performed well, and she had to clear a medical examination at the employer's facility before confirming the offer.
Along with Priya there were two other women, all three of them in their early to mid twenties, sitting in their formal outfits.
Priya wore a crisp white shirt tucked into a knee length black formal skirt. One of the other women wore a simple plant and a white shirt while the other wore a pencil skirt and a blue formal top.
A nurse suddenly came out of one of the rooms and called all three women in. As they went in and handed over the documents that had to be filled during the examination, the nurse asked them to remove their footwear.
Priya fumbled a little with her straps of the saddle and then kicked them off, so did the other two, standing barefoot on the cold marble floor. The nurse directed them one by one to stand on a scale and noted down their weights precisely. The whole process so far looked pretty mechanical and swift as all three of them got their weights and also heights measured.
