  12. Hi Deepika, did you get selected after this interview of yours last year?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Dude.. do you even have any sense of what you're talking about??
    You made a point which you're not able to justify. And you comment here fucking with the hopes of selected candidates?
    If you have a point.. put it out.. share the facts you know. Don't just take out your whatsoever frustration with the bank by your baseless statements.
    Your use of foul language shows what a LOSER you are.
    Get a life.
