Story time

I s(h)uddenly had this story telling bug and concocted this story. The story is related to software.

AK and RS are two roommates. RS is happy with his life, and A is struggling to find a good job. AK has a bad memory.

One day, AK comes running to RS. He is clearly in agony. RS asks him "What happened? You look terrible". AK writhes in pain. "I forgot my password. You are the only one who can save me". RS is puzzled and says "Be more specific. I donot understand". AK narrates this painful episode.

"Couple of months back, I posted my resume at an online site. I required an email-id for this process. The email-id would be used for intimating me about any openings. Yesterday, I had to update critical information on this resume site, and alas, I forgot my password. You need to do something. Help me".

RS consoles him and says "Don't worry. It is not a problem. Do you remember your login-id?". AK answers in affirmitive. RS logs on to the site and starts the password-retrieval procedure. The procedure requires one to answer the secret question. The secret question was "What is your father's name?". AK is relieved. He enters his father's name, retrieves the password and updates the data. The site informs that some information has been sent to the provided email-id.

AK tries to log-on to his email account. As fate would have it, he forgot the password here too. His face turns ashen as he looks at RS. RS asks him not to worry and for second time in ten minutes starts the password-retrieval procedure. The question this time was "What is your pet's name?". AK was flummoxed by this question. He didn't have any pet. He tries answers like cat and dog, which obviously didn't help. He pleads RS to help. RS shrugs his shoulder and says "I cannot help you here. Try to remember the answer". He then go out.

RS returns back after a couple of hours and is stunned at what he sees. AK is still sitting at the computer trying to find the right answer. Iguana. Porcupine. Platypus.......
