Group Discussion:
In GD, the topic was 'Who is a better captain, Ricky Ponting or Saurav Ganguly'.
Girls, please don't panic if you know nothing about Cricket.
Since all 10 participants of the group were boys, the invigilator, after a mutual agreement with us, gave us the topic.
Best part of the GD was that the invigilator had asked us to be aggressive since it was an all boys group. We listened to him.
I talked thrice for 20 secs each with a good firm voice and got rapt attention from others. Though I had an option to be aggressive, I chose to be within limits.
Don't get carried away. It may be a trap.
If you are interrupted, keep saying 'please let me complete, please listen to me for a while'. Being aggressive does not mean speaking on top of your voice and lose your temper. Remember, its still a discussion, not a fight.
There were some good speakers in the group. Hence 7 out of 10 got selected including me.
