SCMHRD GD/PI

Venue- ICC Pune
Time slot- 11:45 , 8/2/2009

Went in the auditorium. Got registered. was talking to my friends , SCM guys were also there, talking to us. A guy said then ,," does anyone smoke ? "...yes yes why not, so went for a smoke .....
neways went to fifth floor after a while. After 5 mins or so, went in for GD....Now the shocking part,,,only 4 PEOPLE IN THE GD....!!!! man!!! that too for 25 mins..........it was going to be fun........

It was a case study,, hypothetical names of 3 political leaders were given, and we wer to discuss on 3 traits that a political leader should have. There were 2 girls and 2 guys including me.I started the GD with how we should proceed by taking all the 3 names , their traits , then select the best 3 for current global scene. evryone got good , rather excellent amount to speak ....we even reached a consensus ( hehehe, never experienced a GD where consensus ever appeared even close )......Then again a different showtime...the mods actually didnt end there. They started asking do you people think that politicians are always corrupt??? They also asked us individually - what would you keep in mind if you become one ...i answered " I'll keep in mind that power doesnt corrupt me "( phataaaa, badaa waala )..
