rourkela : melting pot of india

hi all i am sumit gupta. i belong to delhi. i am B.TECH(2008 pass out) in Chemical engg. like all engg graduates, i had also given PSU exams and fortunately i cleared SAIL exam.
during interview the panel asked me many questions. but among all, there is only one question which i can remember now, infact i will remember that for my life time.
they asked me to name the steel plants under sail in india.
i told them the name like bhilai, bokaro,durgapur, IISCO.
they told me that i have told all the name except one.
i was bewildered but couldnt guess any more name.
well.. and thats the way interview ended.

and when the result of interview came out, i got the last name.
and that one was ROURKELA.
the name which will remain with me for my lifetime.
