Then afterwards I spoke abt E.Commerce n then 2 he stopped me after 20 sec. I was shocked dat he was listening 2 everybody’s topic for 1 min n why he stopped me after 20 sec. I must say dat they only see ur ways of expressing ur thoughts n way of standing. Ur confidence is checked. As I was asked 2 change d topic n then 2 I was confident wid my 2nd topic also . I spoke wid full confidence but I was vry afraid of being eliminated as he asked me to sit just after 20sec. but I was selected for next round. I must also tell u the topics wat other persons spoke abt. They were BLUETOOTH, INTERNET,ZERO, MICROPROCESSOR, COMPILER etc.
