GD is test for participation and communication

The other day when my date came for GD session, on that day morning I developed stomach ailment and had to consult doctor who gave me pills so that I am okay within time and I can participate in Group Discussion. 

But somehow or the other I couldn’t recover and continued with stomachache that hampered my participation in Group Discussion. I could only muster confidence to speak one line conclusion on topic. But seemed that was noticed by selection panel members.

Later when I was declared successful in GD, I realized that it is because of my understanding of topic I was able to conclude in effective manner. Thanks to my beforehand preparation which I started, the moment my entrance exams were over.
