I think it was a good interview... It seems that chairman is habitual of disagreeing with candidates' elaboration. Sir sincere prayers for your final selection.

As far as i know the other candidates were hardly contradicted or argued on any issue rather they were facilitated. There was a conducive environment after back to back bouncers of Chairman Sb at the start (For almost 5-7 mins). Though I managed to tackle them however he was bent upon saying Ghalib was ayash type man and he enjoyed his life throughout i disagreed with clear objective and then on poetry of Ghalib. I was amazed to see he had written verses of Ghalib on some pages when he told the 3-4 couplets and asked me to elaborate even if you had to use the pen and paper as well.
