M4: Wow Ashwin, you are from XY college. That's awesome. Surely you must have got placements.
Me: Yes sir. But my job was of IT profile which is different from my stream.

M4: I know your college still has one of the best alumni associations. You could've gone through that right? Did you chose banking because you didn't have any option?

F1: Okay. Your first interview?
Me: No maam. RRB PO was my first.

M3: Do you remember me, I was in one of the panels too?
Me: No sir, I must have been in a different panel.

M2: So how did that interview go? Did you learn anything from it.?
Me: Yes sir. Since it was my 1st interview, I was new to all this. It was a good experience for me. I learned a few new things for this interview.

M2: Do you feel confident that you'll clear that? How much did you score?
