GD:-
the topic given to us was love marriage vs arranged. four of them were eagerly waitin to inin the gd. but it turn`d to a fish mArket. i remained silent n note down some valuable points n expressed some strong points. (guys plz dont fight or try to dominate you`ll lose points . Rather giving a chance to ur team mates will add points.). finally i took an opportunity n concluded the gd. experss ur ideas in a better way n be confident in a gd.dont interfere when some body is speakin. u`ll be marked down for it too.
