Yeah this tone is perfect.
standing in front of mirror and practicing how to pay greetings to HR of ILF, I spent almost 20 minutes. Suddenly I saw clock and it was already 9:00am. I was getting late, So I rushed towards bike and hurried to the ILF all dressed up.
I had done my whole research. So, As soon as I reached on gate I told guard that I have to meet Mr. Majid, the HR head of ILF. Guard showed me the way to lounge and as I was sitting there, a lot and a lot of scenarios were going on in my mind.
Ac was turned on but still I was sweating. Those were the drops of tension and nervousness, I presume!

Sitting in front of his office I was practicing my elevator pitch. Suddenly a person with smiling face and heavy tone came in front of me. As soon as I saw him, I shook hand with him with same words as practiced.
I uttered my whole elevator pitch in a single go(chuckles). Then he asked me so why you are here? Then it came to my mind oho! that part is still left. Immediately I took my knife out(not real one xD) and started buttering. Telling from why do I love ILF to why should they give me chance, it was one bumpy fun ride.
After handing over my CV and Cover letter I said thank you to him for his time, and rushed out. There were feelings of joy and nervousness while inside and suddenly a breath of relaxation as soon as getting out.
