PS:- Optional is philosophy. Nowhere in the form had I mentioned that I like watching films or whatever. Questions seemed incoherent and no relation between the previous question and the next, except at some places. No follow up questions. The topics on which the questions were asked were simple and they didn't ask any question to seek my opinion on any issue. I'm kind of disappointed as I feel that the Board was disinterested in asking interesting questions. Getting this feeling ki bahaut mehnat ke baad team mein selection hua aur phir final mein khelne hi nahin diya gaya! Anyways, duration was for about 25 minutes. Thanks.
