A request..questions on hobby-guidance please..

[anbu1123]

Hello..

I have a request here..

Banking on suggestions by seniors and faculties at some institutes to mention a thing that can be classified as a hobby,and something i really pursue during my leisure time..the only thing i could think of was 'watching world classic movies'.. so i had mentioned that as my hobby..

now, please put in your suggestions on what questions i can expect..

another query,how much time is allotted to quest no. 24 in the mains application during the personal interview ?
i.e. the question which deals with 'particulars of prizes..', 'games/sports..' , 'leadership held in school/college', and 'other extra curricular activities and interests' ..

First about Quest 24 - Unless there is something extraordinary mentioned there, no questions may come from there. If its left blank dont worry. By extra-ordinary means participation at international level, national level, etc., some national or international award etc. topping JEE, PMT +2, NTS etc may not catch the eye.

If you have really mentioned watching world classic movies as your hobby, i hope you are a serious movie buff and have watched movies from Japan, Italy, Britain, and USA and ofcourse quite a few from Russia, Romania, Brazil Iran/Iraq and of course various Indian Languages (for cinema has its own cinematic language that trangresses the spoken language!!) from the time of early twentieth century i.e silent, B&W, Colour times. You should be able to intelligently discuss the basic subtle niceties of such classics. Have a top ten movies list and top ten directors, actors and actresses handy with a good knowledge on their contirbution. Prepare teh questions exahustively, and methodically. Keep watching the classics (if you feel you some catching to do) on the youtube and the wikipeadia and update yourself.
Best of Luck.!!
