 You have given an option of four or five services only, that's all. I have put ten options. Ten options. What is the reason of your preferring of foreign services? This is very difficult to find nowadays. I think I am very few who is really opting as foreign services. Any specific reason? It's the privilege of representing India at a global stage and it also provides the opportunity to have discussions with distinguished people across the world on issues that pertain humans as a species in the 21st century like migration, border management, terrorism and climate change. It's just having the privilege to have these discussions and the honour of representing India in a global stage. Could you tell me some two or three specific sorts of attributes which Indian Foreign Service officers should have? The most important attitude of Foreign Service officers must have is to have very good listening skills. He must be able to understand what his counterpart from another country is talking about and he must have the analytical ability to read between the lines and he must also have extremely good negotiation skills and must be prepared to seed territory. He must know when to seed territory and when he must take territory. So that is a give and take policy. He must be very good at negotiations and back and forth agreements between people. Do you have to put in only one word and two words each of the attributes? Very good communication skills, attention to detail and also to be able to grasp what is happening in the world and be able to connect different events across the world and report back to the Indian government here. From your student series or from previous employment and can you mention any incidents probably which justify that you have that attributes? Sure sir. For example, when I was working in Larsen and Toubro I was interested with preparing the annual highlights document for my division which is called the buildings and factories division. This was a review by the chairman of L&T and I had to prepare this collating all the details from around 100 departments from my division. So this required tremendous communication skills across various divisions as well as the attention to detail from different lines of service in my division. For example, from procurement, from production, from safety, as well as finance. That is very normal sort of work of any of the jobs. I mean I have the prior experience of having the attention to detail and be able to document what I come across at my work efficiently to ensure that the top management is happy and in this instance in the foreign service it will be the government in Delhi. How many languages you know? I know Tamil and which is my mother tongue and English and I know how to read and write English. You have a, you know, able to pick up the languages also because that might be required. Suppose you go to different places, different languages. You have a lack of speaking languages. I am sure I will be able to adapt and learn quickly. Other than this in which foreign language probably you would like to learn? I have seen one or two French movies. So probably French is something I have a slight affinity towards. Okay. Coming to more serious, I had observed your diplomacy. Suppose you are selected and at some point of time you have to make a presentation. To the various other ambassadors who are the representatives of the United Nations. India is the United Security Council. So how are you able to convince them? India has been one of the most responsible countries when it comes to representations in the United Nations. You are making a presentation. Give four or five points. Yes, sir. Certainly. Certainly, sir. So India is one of the first countries to pay the United Nations membership fees on time without any demand from United Nations. And India has contributed to tremendous peace across the world through deployment in the peacekeeping forces. And India has taken a lot of stands which are pro against terrorism as well as to ensure security in the neighborhood as well as in the world stage. And India has historically not been part of any ideological block or any block which has threatened the peace and security of the world. So India is one of the countries which stands for peace and it welcomes a lot of people from other countries with the tenet of Vasudeva Kutumbakam. And I believe it is time for India being the third largest economy in the world in purchasing power parity terms to be included in the Security Council. Okay. Have you seen this year's budget? Yes, sir. I have. Okay. What strikes you most? Sir, I feel that this budget is not a budget only for the next 12 months but it provides a lot of structural reforms and is a budget which will have a lot of effect over the next four to five years. Do you have any fixed deposits? Yes, sir. Whether it's health, budget something is there, whether it will help you? Fixed deposits I feel is almost a redundant form of investments for a person who is of my age. My question is, is anything in the budget which talk about the fixed deposits? Yes, sir. Definitely the DICGC insurance which was earlier there for up to one lakh for any deposit in a bank has now been raised to five lakhs. So, which is a great relief for a lot of depositors. Where you have spent it actually? Which college? I did the distance education from University of Madras and I pursued my chartered accountancy codes side by side. What do you think of DMU agitation recently? I think there was quite a bit. A bit of agitation is happening in India. What do you feel is students participation in such type of agitation? I think it's extremely important for a populace like India which is a democracy for the last 70 years for the people to have the right as well as the privilege to dissent about the government's decisions. I think dissent is one of the bedrocks of democracy and it actually strengthens the policies of a government when there is an immediate feedback from the people because the government has to realize that all the policies which are being passed are ultimately for the people's benefit and if the people, the section of the people feel that it is not working for them I think the government must be cognizant of this fact and I believe the JNU protests definitely highlight the fact that there are some concerns with regard to certain legislations and certain policies of the government and I believe the government will do a course correction to correct their stand. So you are in favor of such protests being in the education institution or university? You are in favor of it? Non-violent protests. Non-violent? Yes. But there has been some violence also there? That I primarily believe that is because of the inclusion of some antisocial elements who are, I don't know if they are part of the university or if they are being brought from outside but per se I think the students are very non-violent and the protests start off very peacefully with them airing their views but somewhere down the line after a week or so some of these antisocial elements they come into the university and they chant slogans and they go on a violent spree and I think that's where the situation gets out of control and then the government has to intervene. Okay. You are interested in foreign service? Yes. You have read anything on diplomacy? I have read during the course of my preparation only. Okay. Those who are not with us are against us. I have heard of this doctrine. Those who are not with us are against us. I have not heard of this doctrine. See, you have not heard of this. This is called John Foster Dolle's doctrine. This was the most dominant part of US foreign policy towards the non-violent world. Okay. I have not read it. Okay. It's all right. Can you join the BRI? The Belt and Road Initiative was China's initiative to connect to go back to the old Silk Route connectivity between China and Europe as well as Asia. But India has certain concerns regarding this BRI primarily because the CPEC corridor which passes between the Xinjiang province connecting the Guadar port in Pakistan flows through the Jiljit-Baltistan territory of India which is currently occupied by Pakistan and it has an effect on the internal sovereignty of India. We are against the BRI. And moreover, the economic model of the BRI sees China contributing a top-down approach towards the development of all the projects where they deploy their personnel as well as they give loans at very high rates of interest in such a way that some of the countries which cooperate with the BRI, they go into a debt trap. So, India feels that there needs to be more transparency and a greater call for respecting sovereignty of other nations. What is that China-Pakistan economic corridor you just mentioned? What is that? It is a connection between the Xinjiang province of China as well as the Guadar-Pot province. The Xinjiang province of China to Guadar-Pot in Pakistan which goes through the Jiljit-Baltistan territory of India which is currently occupied by Pakistan. So, it is on disputed territory. Yes. The Jiljit-Baltistan portion is disputed territory. In 1963, on 2nd March, Pakistan transferred 6,000 square kilometres to China. You are aware of that? I believe that is on... Syakasigam valley. Yes. Syakasigam valley, the biggest of them is Syakasigam so this was transferred to China. So this passes through that. But in the agreement, there was a clause that China will renegotiate this whenever this sovereignty issue is decided. So that clause is absent here now. That is the main reason. Yes, sir. Okay. What are the other reasons? Primarily... What are the environmental reasons? I believe that the corridor passes through... Many international organisations have objected to the... object on the ground of environmental reasons. Yes, it has quite a debilitating impact on the bio-diversity of the region considering that it is in the region of the Himalayas as well as the Palmer Knot where a lot of these mountain ranges meet and considering the fact that the mountain ecosystem is one that is facing considerable stress because of climate change and a lot of the roads have to be... have to be laid by blasting the mountains. It does not make a lot of sense environmentally. There are problems... What is the greatest diplomatic problem of the world today? Which issue is known as the Diplomates Nightmare? Which issue? So there are certain land issues. For example, the Israel-Palestine issue is a long-standing issue which has not been resolved. Similarly, the Kashmir issue between India and Pakistan is... No, Kashmir issue is not there. Israel-Palestine issue is the number one which is known as Diplomates Nightmare. Yes, sir. Tell me about the issue. So what happened was because of the world wars which happened in the 20th century, the region which is Israel right now was owned by British and the French and considering the decolonization which took place, Britain and France wanted to exit the country and gave the territory back to the Jews after the Second World War and the Jews having been persecuted in the Second World War felt that that was their sacred land and wanted to resettle over there but that territory was actually occupied by a lot of the Arabs who had stayed there for thousands of years. So now the territory became disputed between the Arabs who have stayed there for thousands of years and the Israelis who feel that it's their sacred land. So this is the reason why you and... 1947, what happened? 1947, November, what happened? That is when the Israelis settled in the land which is called Israel right now and the Palestinians were driven away to West Bank and to Gaza. In 1947, November, the United Nations organization itself by resolution number 181, divided the territory. The Jews, the Arabs. That really started the problems. But now again they're celebrating the year of celebrating against these that they should not have been divided. So what is the latest status? The latest status is the US president has provided a deal whereby he divides the entire land of Israel between the Palestinians and the Israelis in cognizance of the two states. What about the capital? The capital for the Israelis will continue to be Jerusalem whereas for the Palestinians, their $50 billion grant is to be provided to build a new city, east of Jerusalem. A new city. Presently, what is the capital of Palestine? They consider Jerusalem as their capital. Ramallah. Ramallah is very Ramallah. It's 10 kilometers away from Jerusalem. Right here. So now they are saying that the eastern part you will be having. Okay. You did your financing and accounting and you had a lot of experience in documentation. According to the recent reports on NSSW survey, it seems that unemployment has tanked to the 45 year high and consumption has dropped to so much of levels. And the finance ministers claim that the nominal GDP growth would be 10 percentage. Do you agree with that? If you agree, why? If you are not agreeing, you're substantial in both ways. I think it is a well-known fact that unemployment has risen in the recent past primarily on account of a downturn in the global economic scenario which has permeated even into India. And this has resulted in the GDP slowing down to I believe 4.5% in Q3 of this year. And so India is faced with a serious problem of a transient economic slowdown. This is more of a structural as well as an issue with the consumer demand in the economy. So the budget which was presented this year has certainly looked to address certain portions of this. I believe the finance minister has acknowledged that there has been a significant downturn because she has allocated quite a lot of government expenditures to boosting demand in the economy so much so that they are ready to accept a fiscal slippage of 3.8% this year and a targeted slippage of 3.5% next year which is beyond the FRBM recommendations. And moreover the allocations to Mandrega has also been increased this year to around 61,500 crores which is definitely going to boost the rural demand as well as there have been quite a lot of incentives and tax stops provided to the MSMEs which is going to improve the rural manufacturing scenario. So I feel the downturn will come out because of some of the measures which have been provided in this budget as well as the structural reforms which have been provided which will happen over the next four to five years. Provide me a straight answer. Do you think we can achieve nominal GDP of 10% or not? Definitely we can achieve a nominal GDP of 10% because inflation currently is around 7% and the RBI mandate is a plus or minus 2 beyond the 4% criteria. So assuming that we are happy with an inflation of 5 to 5.5%, I think GDP growth of 4.5% to 5% is certainly achieved with them. According to the golden tenets of taxation, direct taxation, what we get from direct taxation should be higher than indirect taxation. What do you think about the recent corporate tax cut which cost at 1.5 lakh crore to the expected? So currently the direct tax portion of the total revenue of the government is 54% compared to the indirect tax of 46%. And I believe the total reduction in the corporate tax rates which happened was primarily to ensure that more money is in the hands of the companies. That is their disposable income will be greater and they will invest more of it in the economy which will help in generating more jobs as well as manufacturing in greater quantities to increase the exports. So I believe though there is a fiscal slippage of 1.4 lakh crore this year and it will continue to be there in the next years, I believe it's a very good decision considering the fact that we are in a significant economic downturn and we need certain demand side improvements like fiscal improvements like cutting off taxes to spur demand in the economy. With inequality, rocketing like anything and Oxford pointing that in most of the wealthies cost with certain people, while corporate tax cuts does not result in more inequality escalating like anything and redistribution is taken to the back burner. I beg to differ on this particular point of view. So I feel if there is a reduction in the tax rates for the companies, it will definitely trickle down to a lot of the people who are being employed in the companies. So more money in the hands of the company would mean that they will invest more in manufacturing which will employ more number of people and if more number of people are employed they have more employment opportunities. So India is more of what kind of economy, which sector dominates Indian economy? Service sector. I mean number of people employed more. Agriculture. And how about which gives maximum employment whether it's manufacturing or agriculture. I mean the terms of the capital amount to invest and the number of people employed. Whether it is manufacturing or agriculture. Agriculture sector. The tax rates are happening in the manufacturing sector because the agriculture sector is completely out of the income tax regime. So there need not be any tax rate cut for the agricultural sector to boost their growth. Do you think the focus should have been more on agriculture rather than corporate? Definitely the focus should be on agriculture and it is in the current budget where there is a 16 point agenda for growth of agriculture and to double the farmers income in the next 3 years. In addition to this it is also the bound and duty of the government to improve the manufacturing sector almost 25% of GDP. And it is also very important to note that China when they grew they grew from a manufacturing sector and they made the transition to a service sector. So it is also very important to support the manufacturing sector. Does the Amazon news pay corporate tax in India? Yes sir they do. How much they pay? I am not too sure of the rate but they get a lot of tax incentives. And tell me about this. What is this Uttara Meru? What is its significance in Indian history? I am not too sure of this. How did Tanjavur from being a bedrock of feudalism it became a bustling economy? It was a bedrock of feudalism in 1900s and 1950s. Few landlords used to dominate then it became a bustling agrarian economy. What were the reasons to it? Tanjavur is the rice bowl of Tamil Nadu and it has the major river Kaveri which is flowing and considering that independent India there were a lot of land reforms which happened a lot of land distribution happened to a lot of the farmers and so once they had land in their hands they were able to grow using the some of the green revolution techniques were also introduced in Tamil Nadu and considering this fact the economic fortunes of the people became better. I have few questions with regards to you were mentioning about the negotiations related to environmental issues which would be the priority if you are in the position to represent India so I want to get your opinion about the labelling of the products or the manufactured goods to the trade like echo labelling or the silk mark how are these going to impact the trade? Labelling provides more reliability on the product that is being consumed for example an FSSA mark on a particular product or BIS mark on a particular product will ensure that quality of the product is not compromised and it is of the highest quality. So for example between India and European Union the trade agreement has stalled primarily because of some of these quality issues so if there is greater labelling of products it would mean that the trade agreement can be concluded between India and European Union which would help our exporters as well as to get key imports into India to further our manufacturing so labelling is definitely provides greater quality control and consciousness for the products which is being traded on but the labelling is by the Indian regulator so the Indian regulatory standards are being accepted globally we have matching up to the global standards so that our regulators quality analysis or everything is getting accepted at the global picture. There have been some concerns regarding the products which have been exported from India to Europe for example there was a consignment of some goods in Italy which was returned as well as some of our textile products nowadays there is a sense of greater rejection percentage so I believe yes the regulatory mechanism in India has a lot that can be improved but I believe we have the mechanisms in place and it requires greater implementation of the laws and greater focus and investment into ensuring the best quality products are certified. And you think of any international labelling which helps our trade ma'am there is this agricultural labelling called HV I am not too sure of the name it is called HVAB irrespective of whether it is cultivable or manufactured or of any of the finished or a by-product any other thing. The ISO mandate is international standards organization and we have the Indian variant as well. What is about this GI? Yes, GI is Is it given in the Indian scenario or who does give this? GI tag is given based on the convergence with the TRIPS agreement of I believe it is with PO it is given by them and we have around more than 350 products from India which are certified to be GI which definitely helps in improving the quality as well as gives recognition to some of these indigenous products to be sold globally. Have you heard of this labelling called as BHOG? No ma'am I haven't come across. So, please go through from the foot standards BHOG What is your take on the budgeting given to attain the sustainable development goals? Is it only the budgeting which a nation should invest on its own SDG to be achieved or is it a global SDG goals are universal goals for example the goal of zero hunger does not mean zero hunger only for India it means that India must contribute to ensure that even global hunger has been eradicated so definitely our contributions to SDG are seen in this budget where there is where we are talking about economic development as well as aspirational industry. No I am not asking about our budgeting I am asking about the overall budgeting are we also contributing in terms of aid as a donor to any of the receptor countries are we in this Yes ma'am we are contributing towards this and we are also doing our own bit for climate change as well also forms part of the SDG goals we have already prepared the nationally determined contributions and we are helping some of these pacific ocean islands as well to prepare their own nationally determined contributions and we are contributing copiously to UNESCO as well as UNICEF to ensure that there is greater education as well as women attainment in the world ma'am. Have you heard of the recent discussion from the UNESCO about save the seasons there has been a debate about saving the seasons No I have not come across this ma'am There has been a discussion with regards to whether along with the other heritage spots should we include the geoclimatic issues which are not continuing to retain at the same level. Yes ma'am. Also we included as one of the geoheritage things so go through about the save the seasons Yeah. Alright Mr. Prasad so if you look at the recent trends and there is a move to against globalization there is a lot of protectionism xenophobia the kind of pitch on which Trump has won the elections or Boris Johnson so that is on the one side and the world now requires more globalized world to face the challenges of climate change and diseases anything is a contradiction and what is your I think that is the tragedy of our times that when the time is most important for us to get together we are having a lot of the right wing nationalism as well as xenophobia which we are seeing this has been erupted in different parts of the world and we are seeing the Amazon rainforest in the Australian wildfires but we are seeing the heads of those countries stating that it is not because of climate change or they do not accept that climate change has happened so I think it requires greater acknowledgement of the fact that climate change is a reality or we are facing different nationalist problems where people are becoming overtly nationalist or want to protect their own countries at the cost of global being on what exactly it is my question is what is the terms of what solutions do we have how do we solve this problem so it requires greater convergence over issues for example we have the conference of parties for climate change where all the countries get together and they have acknowledged that 100 billion dollars will be contributed to the green so we need to get this working when you have all these countries coming together they are also looking for the lowest common denominator for agreement and many major countries are not involved yes sir not solving the problem I feel the only solution towards solving a global problem is to get all the people in the world to agree I feel a single country which is waging a war against all the other countries for a global issue is not going to be very sustainable in the long run so I think there needs to be greater convergence on the issues if I say that to solve the globalized problem at the global level we need to start intervention at the local level yes local level as in we need to get each country's people invested in the country's viewpoint for example if India has a viewpoint regarding any particular issue of the world it is bound on duty of the Indian government to get all the local governments to support it as well domestic policy will need to align with the foreign policy again if you say the domestic policy need to be aligned with the global policy and the globalized world does not need that kind of xenophobic or artistic ideology then again we are not reaching any consensus I think the only way to reach a consensus is through issue based negotiations and convergence over issues I feel that is the only way we can come together have you thought about these things I have been reading in some news channels and news reports we are aware of these things but have you thought about it I think I am in the process yeah you should start thinking because this is critical areas in the Indian big country as an important you representing the country definitely like to have a view you have mentioned reading fiction yes name 3 writers you have read with the name of the book recently I have read kazuo yushiguro books I have read his booker prize remains of the day I have read julian barnes sense of an ending which won the 2011 booker prize and recently I also read dosta it is crime and punishment what is the premise the premise is the premise of conscience situation where a person commits a crime out of the poverty he is and the entire book bases how his guilt comes out and how the character moves from being where he justifies his crime because of the social situation he is in who ultimately facing the punishment for his crime it is basically a psychology yes any other books I am going to read brothers but it is a long book I need some time to read the choices of books are pretty good did yushiguro won the double prize he won the double prize for literature in 2017 what is Tobin tax and what is your view on Tobin tax I am not aware of Tobin tax should the financial transaction be taxed in fact that has been discussed in European Union financial transactions are taxed currently in India in the form of the securities transaction tax where there is a international level let me clarify international transactions speculation yes definitely I feel that is a great avenue from where we can raise a lot of money for addressing real social issues on the ground for example Bernie Sanders in the US no all that is not the part of the question this has been discussed every time but nothing is number one number two even Europe is not discussing major countries what is the issue here the issue is primarily because some of the larger companies in the world they end up paying zero tax and though they are the market capitalization is the highest and they make so much of revenue and they give employment to a lot of people because they root a lot of money through a lot of these shell and dormant companies and they take advantage of these tax agreements between in a lot of these tax havens instead of looking to the member who is asking you can look to the whole world yes but you are just okay what do you think about you have mentioned as a hobby playing football yes you are supporter of which club Liverpool why it was the team that I watched at the beginning and all my friends were supporters of Manchester United who I wanted to support Liverpool just to spite them because or otherwise because this is coming on top probably that way I have been following since 2002 so it's been almost 17 years of pain it's only this year that there is some kind of return on my investment as a footballer defender I am a goalkeeper so I like my role the most I see so probably what sort of message you get out of football game I think the greatest learning in football is that the entire team has to play as a team and individual cannot perform by himself and it has to be a collective effort to win the game so I think that is the ultimate goalkeeper would be a good leader in football definitely in football I feel a lot of the leadership and management comes from the coach who decides what kind of position a player plays who has to be picked in a team and what are the tactics to be used captain on the field or a leader on the field is one who shepherds the entire team and I feel the goalkeeper definitely has the ability and the capabilities to do it thank you you heard of Albert Camus yes sir he is a French writer he has written strange he is a Nobel laureate in what position he was playing for the World Cup I don't know you are the only Nobel laureate who was playing for the World Cup you are the goalkeeper of Algeria you are born in Algeria maybe I think we will call you from after the World Cup thank you give some debriefing general you did well but there are certain issues we thought probably we can highlight to you actually I think first of all I think when you intern maybe I think it is the place and all that you know very very small things when you come in that you have to see that properly and then wishing and all also your eye contact was a big issue actually whole interview and only looking at the person who is asking question which is basically is not because all others are watching to you because what if you don't look at others at least you look at the chain men once in a while to other members also because they are listening and whatever answer you are giving it is not you are only answering to one member that I think there is a whole interview was noticed and you have to be precise actually what question is asked I think you are giving very long answers actually also when you are giving answers you are quite unnecessary I think either you are terms you are using or explanations you are giving which is not called actually he even once interrupted you also I did not do it he said okay let's listen and when you started I mean that time we started saying certain sort of you know about yourself that I learn like this this immediately brought me to I know I was not thinking about what question I am going to ask since we are talking about that this sort of that's why I asked about the attributes and all that so it means that whatever you are saying you have to be careful and all that sometime what will happen is that you will utter something and then give to the question you will not able to properly handle it so I think be precise that's the other important as per the content of your answer is a consent I will say it's okay it's good but many questions still you are not able to I think like 2-3 times I think it's fine you can say that I am not aware of it I think number of questions you already mentioned particularly I think when both of them were asking though the question was basically asked from the various sort of subjects but more was concentrated on foreign because they have made a first preference so there is a likelihood because you have given the first preference even there also I think that little try to have little more idea about the foreign affairs and all that whatever he was asking was very fundamental sort of I think which he should really and you have the greatest mistake you have to repeat that mistake when I asked you what is the greatest diplomatic problem in the world you told palestinian then told kashmir india is frantically trying to prevent that Pakistan is trying to do that but that was a disaster kashmir is palestine because that is you must have listening that india is strongly affecting anybody but also the south arabia they have bargained because of the malaysian muslim meeting they had objected pakistan and pakistan say I will not go there because if you have hold a meeting in kashmir meeting on kashmir then yesterday south arabia said somehow he is going back on his promise that on kashmir we will not hold a meeting now so they have flopped pakistan now so india is practically trying to input kashmir with palestine pakistan is trying india is practically trying to prevent that ok so never commit this mistake if you are going to have indian friend service but this is the very basic thing of indian diplomacy ok so bilateral issue I think the best is that probably I think just try to do little bit practice like some of the questions which has been asked or you might be attending at the mall or whatever you have bio data these are likely questions and particularly foreign service prepare yourself to answer and you see that whether you are really exceeding beyond a point really which question is asked and try to make it precise and concise and also I would say just a little bit you have answer also in front of mirror it will improve you actually because I think certain things like your gestures and all that or looking at the things that may improve actually it's not a very great rubber but sometimes it's a really important sort of thing any session you can propose when german asked you what language would you like to learn or you see it's a very very difficult question it is based upon so much of knowledge first thing France had 12 colonies in Africa which were all got independence in 1962 so with French language English though you are learning French you can cover the whole of Africa whole of South America each Spanish except Brazil Brazil is the only country which talks Portuguese so with Spanish you can cover the whole of Latin America so they are the two languages by which you can cover 70-80% of the world what has happened has rightly pointed to him few things on foreign service the defense probably it became they are worse they are worse they cannot use so it was simple question language it was trying to find it out what is your mind actually it dealt it very quickly it was difficult I mean it is nothing to be discouraged I tell you nothing to be discouraged many things you have done I think a lot of plus points were there you were able to have good answers I thought if I say one particular language it will mean like I am taking a stand no no what he is mentioning to you just certain sort of language which is you know widely spoken and which is much more common and all that very small question but it was I was trying to judge whether you are really looking at in wider perspective what really is a foreign service officer should have actually and the reason you gave no it made it sound fickle like learning was that only I didn't know what to say your questions would be more focused the answer need to be based on certain logic I could cover the maximum I would like to learn Spanish because it is much much more really known English any case you are aware so which is second language you will receive definitely you are not going to say Chinese and all that Chinese so I think you think of that but I think a lot of plus points I think you are quite confident otherwise I think you are giving logically you are giving the answer I am reading around the bush but that problem is because I don't know I don't know the answers one or two questions I think I can think and write over 5 or 6 minutes I don't know the answers but I think one or two questions was bluffing answer when she asked the SDGs this was bluffing I was clearly visible that you are not aware India doesn't give any budget to know people one of the great techniques of interview is how do you handle the question which you do not know which you know you will all speak how do you handle that question answer could answer because we are not knowing the SDGs could have said something about this they said you are not sure whether India is really it was a simple answer you have to be honest it was clear that see you are already knowledgeable that is why you have to be honest and secondly probably because you worked in corporate my case my perspective is entirely different so when I am asking you are supposed to keep quiet you don't interrupt lot of things you said even describing you were accounting questions are being really immediately asked suppose if you are very sure that you have to answer that otherwise you have to be precise and one way of doing is that once the question is as you take a pass 5 to 6 seconds and then answer whenever you are confident immediately jumping the bandwagon otherwise you start saying something you can think about it what can the word or what can I answer doesn't matter because 6 seconds is very short but you can think about the line and course of action which you should go because you are immediately answering because you want to be prompt and spontaneous sometimes you miss the entire question that is the thing when is your very interview all the best to you and it has been fine I think you go positive say be confident and you will do well last week I think on Chan 26 you did your interview you were much much better than me what you don't bother I was there and he was much better during the best candidate in that entire set was maybe today you were a bit nervous I am not nervous I didn't know many of the answers that's the reason what you don't know you don't create answers but then sir is saying I told don't know too many no no no see I am saying that you should have that much knowledge see 3-4 times you are not even know but if so 50% of questions I am not that is also going to be bad really what I am saying is try to induce your knowledge wherever your weak things are there press up your knowledge that's what I am saying because basically it is more of a sort of present it is not going to test totally all see only on you and your whatever facts and figures basic things we are required to do so what I am saying is that you should ought to know few things actually sir JNU issue JNU didn't have a major issue related to CAA I didn't touch upon actually it was more on the hostile issues and other issues actually and the internal issues right and left that was the issue Jamia had more such Jamia had the other issue JNU didn't have an issue related to CAA it had a label of CAA we are not sure whether it is also because of CAA so it's between the internal students the ABVP and the left group were the ones which created and sir was focusing on the violence in the campuses that was his major interest towards so you were into the students have the right to give their actually I was not getting into argument with you I was just trying to check on the various views that what I wanted to know wherever you are comfortable know you are very articulate to you amazing that is for sure that is what we are doing that is for sure so just wherever you are not sure you try to be don't bluff that's what don't create answers from thin air that would help you a lot otherwise so what do I do if I don't know 50% no it won't happen it won't happen this happens four times in this one four times happens four times four times I didn't know but I bluffed many questions so which meant I didn't know probably you could have added actually I think this particular what the interviewer took actually not a question we asked actually not necessarily we would have asked because why this is a mock interview basically I mean mock interview the reason is try to sweep it where is your strength and weaknesses to tell you in actual interview it may not be that much questions are going to be asked actually I had 13 questions in my interview where I scored 190 that's it for 40 minutes so then I'm saying deliberately it was less questions does it mean I have to speak more see don't just speaking more you are speaking more the thing is that if you start speaking more now you are giving lot many leads to them then what it may land up is that they may be knowing much much more than you in that subject and he may think you are bluffing more and actually whatever you said I tell you what percentage has gone into whatever you said at this whatever question he asked except JNU and one on budget all was whatever you have been saying 50% what he asked was from you 25% accounting other thing is from whatever you have said I wanted to question also from you so I would say about 50 to 60 60% your interview whatever you are talking about because my questions came from your point only it was you told negotiations related to climate change and environmental issues so I thought okay you have an interest towards that so you must be aware of what should be economically linked to the environmental issues you would be wondering why I am asking Uttar Meru it's related to Tanjavur Chola inscription unlawful self-government and this is the thousand I think the Rajaraj temple is celebrating its grand year so because somewhere I fought Tanjavur in the start itself two times it's coming so as okay Mr. Mishra, all the best to you so be positive I think you have a very good chance I am not good last time we gave you the highest
