Gave my Gim ,goa gd/pi on 4th march,2011 at around 8:30 slot from kolkata.
Gd venue: Rotary Sadan,kolkata.
Time:8:30 AM
Xat-94.53%
Gd topic:Honesty is not good for a person,straight trees get cut first.
Gd People-12
Opening started with 1 minute of intro.Then the open house started.With such generalistic topic ,people leaped on arguing with points ranging from wikileaks,ramayana,mahabharata and all sort of stuff.
I Entered the gd three times excluding the opening part.Gave the idea about euthanasia killing, mickey and rocky balboa 's mentorship role and the fight betwwen clubber lang,wikileaks and produced some counter arguments who said honesty is only the best policy.
In gist my point was the circumstances,physchological factors should be taken into account and then a prudent decision shud be made and adapt according to the situation demands.(
Now the essay part started.Gave us 10 mins,unfortunately i did'nt finish but gave ample new points ranging from tata-corus market condition after recession,and indo pak war during indira gandhi's regime.
Concluded the gd and then summarized it by writing an essay.

M-( Trap dal hi diya na..)..Gave an answer which i'm not satisfied with.Even he does'nt .
P1-Nods his head.Okay U may Go..
M-.Wished them and went out with confilcting thoughts. p.s.-No academic questions.Interview panel totally chilled out people and were very eager to make us feel comfy.
I wud rate my gd and essay good neglecting the fact that i did'nt complete .P2 told me they want to check our writing skills ,and creative writing on the subject ,and if i write half page of it.then itz good.No need to worry.
In case of Interview i won't rate myself properly.And as my acads suck,i have narrowed chances.Only saving grace is my profile.
