Funny Moments: on the interview day a person came into the conference room to call me for interview, i didnt thought he was interviewer. he was very simple, but intelligent and at last i felt like asking him to ask me one more coding question as it was fun solving questions infront of him, but i didnt do that as i was frightened if i would not be able to answer it would be a negative remark :P .
