Just when the leaderboard seemed to be a one-horse race, Ashwan Lewis galloped into the frame of the Bombay Quiz Club. Ashwan, together with Mukund Krishnan, Sarat Rao and Raghu, romped to an emphatic win in the 10th BQC quiz of the season to storm back up to second place in the standings. Rishi Iyengar, the man he displaced, put in a strong showing to come second and slip to third. (Read slowly; this isn't easy.) And Rajiv Rai, shock horror calumny, finished fourth, thus remaining stationary in the BQC League points tally, albeit still the leader by a fair (but diminishing) margin.
Dhananjay Shettigar was the quizmaster, and asked around 70 questions in a superbly balanced quiz. There were two questions involving sado-masochism, two involving rape, but do not go by that, for in tabloid mode I report only the sensational. The quiz was enjoyed by all, and would have passed as family entertainment had a family cared to show up. Ha!
