Nice discussion with you. Your interview is over. You can leave now.

Overall , Board is cordial. Chairman was attentive to our views. Members are also cordial and

supportive. They are developing qs from the answers we are giving to the previous qs. They are gauging

our confidence level while answering and putting their next question based on that. For some

questions I said I have little knowledge in this area. In some cases, I said I dont know.
