I am doing C++ book by Joshi. Will that be enough for C++ coding practice for finance interviews apart from reading some FAQ books, 50 ways book by Meyer?
Could somebody list the bare minimum C++ items I ought to know to be prepared for an interview?
 
As well as MJ's book which is very specific for derivative pricing analytics, I would suggest

Learning the language :
C++ Primer : by Stanley B. Lippman, Josée Lajoie
Amazon.com: C++ Primer (4th Edition): Stanley B. Lippman, Jose Lajoie, Barbara E. Moo: Books

Learning how to use the language (Beginner) :
Effective C++ : Scott Meyers
More Effective C++ : Scott Meyers
Effective STL : Scott Meyers
C++ FAQs : Cline, Lomow & Girou
Amazon.com: C++ FAQs (2nd Edition): Marshall P. Cline, Greg Lomow, Mike Girou: Books


Learning how to use the language (Intermediate) :
Exceptional C++ : Herb Sutter
More Exceptional C++ : Herb Sutter
+ anything else you can get your hands on by Sutter, the guy's a God in C++ :)


I also suggest C++ in a Nutshell as an essential reference.

Also you should be comfortable with at least the smart pointer library in Boost.
