Hi Kiran,

Thanks a lot for interview update. If you dont mind then can you please share
the quote that you were asked to comment on. I have also read on pagal guy that
some panels didn't even ask for presentation. Were you able to manage your
presentation in 3 mints. 3 mints is too short of a time, one can hardly describe
the problem let alone the solution. If you dont mind, what did you pick as the
presentation topic?

Thanks,
