Hi Everyone,
Thanks a lot for your wishes.
The only question that I missed was on Garbage Collection. That too was because I got confused in the wordings of the options..
One doubt here. If one class has an object as a private instance variable, will the private instance be eligible for garbage collection when an instance of the class is eligible for garbage collection? I assumed not because it might have been passed to some other object in some method. Although there was no such method in the class. So I did not check it.
Thoughts are most welcome.

Regarding preparations, I had started off with Khalid Mughal's book but then later went on the K&B. Khalid Mughal will give you a lot of details about Java. But K&B really gives you the mindset for the certification and the kind of questions that are asked on the certification.
