Venky Quiz...

Well, the Venky Quiz... what can I say? I turned up there only to realize that it's an amateurish Lit. quiz. Nimish and Me participated, nevertheless and in between constant wisecracks, jokes, Nimish's cellphone suddenly deciding to call me without Nimish's consent and answering Oscar Wilde for everything we didn't know, we won. The grand prize? 350 bucks! And 3 stupid, unheard of books. Anyways, Setu (a Venkian) assures me that the quiz on the 30th will be better. Lets hope so!

Venkateshwara College

The next quiz is at Venkys on South Campus... Today at 1000am! Sorry, but even I got to know of this quite late.

And yes, a warning. Never attend a Lit. Quiz at St. Stephen's unless you also have a uber-niche elitist attitude when it comes to reading. A Lit. quiz and not a single Hitchhiker's or Tolkein question!

Ramjas Quiz...

The quiz at Ramjas College, organized on Nov. 14th, was quite good. There were perhaps somewhere around 30 teams in the qualifying round from which 6 teams made it to the final. The quiz lasted over 5 rounds with the team from St.Stephens leading throughout. Towards the end, the team comprising of myself, Nimish Batra and Nitesh Bhasin (both from BVCOE) made a comeback, giving Stephens the target of 4 questions out of eight in one minute in the final buzzer round. With the clock ticking and barely 5 seconds left, the Stephanians figured out that Razia Sultan succeeded Illtumush to the Delhi Sultanate throne and walked away with first. The team that won Panache, from DCE, came third. As always, my menory fails me and I don't know their names. Last time, I swear!
The disappointing part was the lack of cash prizes and even certificates, due to sponsorship troubles, but the supposed prizes were 2500, 1500 and 1000. The questions and especially the audio questions were really good, though.
