Me- Told smthng but wasnt gud enough.
L- Suppose while driving a car u hit someone and he died and u give 2 lakh as compensation. What is it?
Me- As it happened because of me I had to give him compensation. Human life is priceless but 2 lakh is extra amount as damage was done by me. They seemed kind of convinced.

C- Oh! Its very easy... Its lyk...Dont u remember ur Father's Name?? When did u learn that??
R- U will read this kind of subject in one of ur sems... If u arent able to solve this.. How will u study that subject:sneaky:..

All- Ok then Thank u
Me- Thank U

Good Bye XIMB RM!

did u appear in delhi(18th 2 PM), with me also I felt the same, they were not interested in listening to my answers and smiling on everything I say, ofcourse I was serious :P
I dont know how to interpret it.

Ahh yes it was in Delhi. 2pm slot.
Bloody the gd topic was good. - 'only women's empowerment can lead to social dev'. But unfortunately ppl started off as tho' they were running a race. I wonder what managerial skills can be depicted thro such chaotic discussions.
