GD topic : age bar for drinking 25 and voting is 18 ..why ...( something like that ) 
essay : india can be a super power ( i stuffed so much stats that they will have to google to cross check just like i did in my gd :P )
P.I made 2-3 friends ( volunteers ) and i knew famous ppl from dalmia ( i knew famous people from top 6 colleges so i use that trick everywhere to get my interviewer on a friendly note ) and i knew both the people taking my interview by name and their qualifications and subjects they teach there.
mohite sir : tell me something about urself ?
me : told .. when i was speaking about networking marketing ruchika maam ( marketing woma :P ) took charge .
ruchika maam : tell me about network marketing .. def. and few concepts
me : explained + gave some examples and how i implemented them in real life and how it worked.
both : what were u doing for this one yr 
me : doing few computer courses, studying for cet and other exams and guiding people on forums and all that shit :D
Ruchika maam : what guidance ?
me : about colleges courses and what not blah blah 
ruchika maam : what did u tell them about our college ?
me : told 5 famous personnas from dalmia ( included their name .. that lit their faces and they were smiling ) their events 
ruchika maam : how u know so much about the college ? 
me : i know some 5-10 people from college . ex and present students standing outside .. some of them were quite famous so both of them knew .. like knew where they stay and what they did and they do .. ( after this it was all friendly )
they asked me why marketing ? i was about to answer but they only took on the person ka name and started laughing. and some more things like what does he do now .. how u know him.. his dad and what not crap lol
then maam stopped mohite sir let me ask him sir 
asked me the GDP told the meaning and the rate and everything .
sir asked no tell me the figure 
i told 1.73TN nominal and 4.45 is ppp. they looked at each other and mohite sir was like write it down on a paper for me 1.73 tn
done !
now convert it into rs. 
so i told him an hour back i checked rupee rate was 55.82
sir : take it as 50 and convert
done !
now tell me that amount in lakhs 
done !
ruchika maam interrupted saying ' sir wo marketing wala hai kya aap finance leke baithe hai ! '
*laughter*
they asked about my family , swimming, and then he said u only tell me what should i ask u nw... ok. b.com kiya hai .. commerece and economics se kuch poochu ? haha i was like sir anything took few chapters ka name also and told him ask def. or diff. or formulas but he didnt ask
asked about cet gdpi kidhar hua and then bole itna accha gaye fir bhi KJ wale marks nahi denge terko. and asked kaha kaha fill kiya hai forms and experience there and more casual talks.
then ruchika maam asked tell me those concepts u were talking about 
i explained them the golden circle of life and law of diffusion of innovation in short i doubt they understood lol... but they look impressed. 
thank you and good bye. :D*sigh**phew*
