very ok sorts discussion.. calm .. no1 had many points.. they said they wud give 1 min to think but actually gace around 4-5 mins i think. sufficient time to put your points.. asked to summarize.. i was the first.. (AGAIN!) and babbled something for a few seconds and gave up..
all in all pretty average gd for the entire group.. noone stood out.
PI:

P3 : hmm did u ever get an opportunity to cheat??
moi: cheating is damn simple.. u dont need an opportunity.. but i have never cheated..
(they must be wondering how i know cheating is so simple then, so for good measure i added that plenty of ppl arnd me cheat)
P3: so wat if some1 tried to cheat from u in the exam.. \

P3: hmm suppose some author is dead and another copies from him.. then??
moi: (kyun gade murde ukhaad rahe ho) .. well .. thats wrong because it would negatively affect the environment.. this is not something which is good for the society ( ya i tend to think macroscopic
)

(nods all round again... )
