Cyrus.. some obvious questions would be:

1. why do you want to leave your job? expect a discussion on this. you might be asked to elaborate on whatever reasons you would be giving.
2. what do you read? and then some follow-up questions depending on your reply.
3. what kind of music do you listen to? expect follow-up questions on this too.

Question for you and all candidates
1. Has Greg Chappell done more good or harm for Indian Cricket
2. Is Rahul Dravid an emotionless Captain not suited for Indian Cricket which needs charismatic leaders as Indian team plays on passion unile professional teams like Aus and SA
