    I guess that was the end..they offered me a toffee and I left..I had left my pen behind..
    P2 - you may wnat your pen also.
    Me - Saying Thank you sir again and again to them and leave.

    Felt very good after the Interview was over...I had actually prayed for a stress interview, I knew I woudnt get stressed..they tried a lot to psyche me out..and I never felt the faintest hint of stress ..I never felt that these were BIMM profs..they were just good as any bunch of guys to me..I was cool and smiling throughout and put my points well and was reasonable.. finaly accepted what I had to say..at times I was a bit forceful..but never angry or loud or disturbed..whatever natural force my personality may have..it all flashed there..and then they had to listen.

    But now looking in retro..I am worried about the acads part..thats what BIMM stresses on most. I am ok with x. xii…but there is obvious fall in graduation marks…..
