Sir: Yes come in.

Me: Thank you Sir.

Sir: Hello Mamta, How are you?

Me: Im fine sir, Thank you.

Sir: Had your lunch?

Me: No sir..not yet.(it was 5.00 pm at that time.)

Sir: why?

Me: Sir I thought ill see my results and then have lunch, but as soon as our the results
were out,we were called into the seminar room for further rounds.... (i was too straight
forward and truthfull (except for few questions) thru out the interwiew). So didnt have
lunch yet.

Sir: Are u happy that you are shortlisted?

Me: Oh! Definitely Sir.

Me: Spoke for sometime...

Sir: Do u think they are advantage or dis advantage to the youth?

Me: It totally depends on the individual, its an advantage wen a person watches it to relax
himself...and for entertainment sake...after a stressfull exam..but wen one gets addicted to
movies it might become an disadvantage like he may lose interest in studies,bunking
classes etc.

Sir: Do u think they have a message to the youth??

Me: Oh yes Sir,some recent movies like Lage raho...has a great message about Gandhiji
and his ideologies and philosophies. We ie this generation people had almost forgotten
gandhi. we had jus seen him in our currence notes,but had given very less thought about
his principles...but after watching the movie,we have started adopting those...blah blah...i
spoke spoke n spoke...

Sir: ok now lets talk technical,tell me about your project.
