Chairman:
During your interview, these has been so much discussion on history. What are the lines that Bahadur Shah Zafar said when he was exiled to Rangoon. (I said i am not recalling exact lines but if u allow i can recite it is in urdu. While i was just trying to recall. He himself started - kitna badnaseeb h zafar ……..
i just keep on reciting along with him. Then for last line he stopped for allowing me to complete the lines.)

It has been wonderful talking to you. Your interview is over. Thank you.

Experience: gave around 15-16 mocks to build confidence and practice of speaking crisply.
