I explained it in detail and he got impressed. Then they aske some questions (withing my comfort zone) from JAVA. it was a simple interview.
Tips: Only thing you should keep in my mind before entering the interview room is "I don't need this job; I am just here to make an experience of how a job interview looks like". If you are successfull in keeing the mindset, then you are sure to crack the interview. Moto is JUST RELAX and enjoy the interview. Don't try to over active or over smart in an interview.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: General questions from current affairs, your hobbies, etc. Its kind of time pass interview. Your spoken skills and confidence level matters the most.
Tips: Be what you are. Don' try to exaggerate.
