Appreciate your comments lifted my mood as I was regretting wasting interview in such difficult market.

Its good that we should be proud of our Birth country but we should be equally proud of our adopted country.We have to agree that no other developed country respects Indian as much as UK does.

Had 3 round interviews with a large bank in London.The final round was on Tuesday after that total silence.

Final interview went quite well , I mean we both were comfortable for 45 minutes.
