IN HR some are asked about those weakness etc
Some were asked about general questions like WHAT IS liberalization adn globalization? wht is bpo?

My HR was the shortest HR!!
Was a stress interview.. straight away he asked me WHY ARE NOT SHAVED?? (i haven't shaved ;) )
since he was asking with anger i got real tensed and said like " no reason sir"  
he said" u are so casual for an interview"
i ( regained balance somewhat)- i dont think ext looks are of much importance in the field..
then he"sorry, u are so casual.. i cant clear you"
i said" ok. fine"
then he said" u can leave"
me smiled and said "Thank You sir"

I was looking for infosys so went out happily since i was out!! But when results came I WAS selected!! (:-o OMG) So always have hope!!
my brother( working in wipro for almost5 years) said the interviewer was tesing how how behave when FIRED! and since i smiled and said thnx before leaving he selected me!! (i think so)

Anyways
Prepare well..... And all the best!
