Hmm.. from the middle of the interview, ms. Talha looks uninterested in the conversation. And in a hurry, answered first question incorrectly. but other than that, I am comfortable. But in retrospection, I should have taken more time to think before answering. Anyways keeping my fingers crossed. For others, all the best boys..
