Mahaquizzer 2006 - Directions to Sophia College

Hi All,

In case some of you are wondering as to how to reach the venue for Mahaquizzer,2006 in Bombay, here is what you need to do:

Mail from: Ashwan to the BQC:

The venue for Mahaquizzer in Mumbai will be the Sophia College Science auditorium.

You can get there via train or by bus.

The nearest station on the Western line is Grant Rd. Station; and you take bus 155 fromthere to Peddar Rd.

The nearest staion on the Central line is Bycullaand you take bus no. 63 (I think!.)
Bus 28 from CST will also drop youoff at Peddar Rd. but is quite infrequent.

Sophia College is on a lane between the roads that house JaslokHospital (Peddar Rd) and Breach Candy hospital (Bhulabhai Desai Rd.)

The lane is right next to Sterling apts (if you're coming via PeddarRd) or the turn at the Raymond showroom (on Bhulabhai Desai Rd)Registration can be done at the venue, but you'll have to arrive by9:30am.

Date of contest: Sunday, 21 May 2006
Time: 1000hrs -1130hrs at all venues
