interview over. Jaan chhhooti!! Only a few occasions in my life when I felt so much of pressure. Guess same must have been with you.

Sadly, other people's interviews always seem to be better than ours and on hindsight our own seems a screw-up. Hell with it. I enjoyed the process. I enjoyed that moment of glory when telling someone that you were going for an A interview brought a trace of respect in his/ her eyes.

And I loved the truest of the feelings with which the people in our institute and from outside, wished us good luck. I loved the faith they expressed in us . I liked the true pleasure on the face of our friends when they saw our happy faces. People in our institute really rock.
