P1: Tell me something interesting not in your application form, anything from what ice cream you like to whether you prefer tshirts or shirts
Me: Sir I lost 22kgs in 2020 after being overweight most my life. I have a reputation from engaging in abstract discussions and debates even on topics like “whether we are socially and not biologically conditioned to find tall people attractive”, I meditate and write freestyle poetry in my free time.
P2: Interesting. Can you tell me some of the hot topics in the news these days?
Me: The rising cases of Covid-19 and the naxalites attack on our troops are two topics I’ve seen everywhere.
P2: What happened in Chattisgarh?
Me: previously googled answer
P2: Why are they doing it?
Me: went on about their parallels with the communist ideology and rural rebellion
P2: You’re from UP right? What makes it different from these areas? Why is there no Maoist movement there?
Me: I haven’t read on this topic enough to know this as of yet sir.
P2: What do the media means when they say second wave of Covid-19?
Me: told
P2: What you do think caused this wave?
Me: There are predominantly two theories about this sir.
- As proposed last year as well, Coronavirus seems to spread in an accelerated place in summers, due to perhaps the humidity and heat.
- People are getting lax after the introduction of vaccines and not following proper protocol nor taking precautions.
P2: Good
P1: Since you’re a student of literature, what all have you studied?
Me: told
P1: Can you tell me which play this line is from? quotes
Me: Sir I can tell you this is not a play I’ve read. But given it mentions the name Brutus it’s definitely a Shakespean play since he loves to use names like Brutus, Bassino and Antonio for his characters.
P1: I feel like you’ve read this play since you seem to be familiar with the name.
Me: Sir I’ve only ever read name’s plays of Shakespeare but if I had to make an educated guess this quote is probably from Julius Caesar.
P1: That’s correct. Since you’ve read Macbeth, can you tell me it’s story?
Me: tells the synopsis, it is ultimately a commentary on society’s glorification of ambition and how it could lead to one’s downfall with elements of Destiny and temptation (represented by Lady Macbeth) thrown in.
P1: Can you name any other meta elements in the play? Also, who killed Macbeth?
Me: There is a concept of inheritance in the play. Macbeth’s friend who he kills inherits his will onto his son who ultimately slays Macbeth.
P1: Can you tell me where this line is from? quotes
Me: Sir, Robert Browning’s Walking by the Woods on a Snowy Evening
P1: What else did you study?
Me: I studied drama, poetry and prose from Elizabethan up to the Post-modern era. I especially like the texts of World War era?
P1: Which World War 1? 2?
Me: Both sir. I love the concepts of alienation, absurdism and the genre of The Theatre of the Absurd introduced then.
P1: That is all I had to ask. You sir?
P2: I’m also done.
P1: All the best, Priyansh.
P2: All the best, have a good day. You can log off now.
Me: Thank you sir, I hope you have a great day as well.

The interview was average at best. Couldn't answer a bunch of questions on geopolitics. I never stated I was into it. More of a stress interview I felt where they threw a barrage of questions at me, mostly from geopolitics and geography. Answered all the acads questions comfortably. I don't expect a direct convert. But do you all think I have a shot?
