Udatta unleashes unspeakable horror

The BQC met yesterday for an excellent quiz by Delhi's Udatta Duarah. The quizmaster, a frequent visitor to Mumbai, has consumed many tender infants with the BQC. While his enthusiastic participation has ensured that he will be among those Eaten First, he has never before been a Master of Ceremonies. Yesterday, he served up a quiz that even the well-known cannibal Jackie Chan would have approved. For three hours of unspeakable horror, the quizmaster systematically explored human depravity from infant sacrifice to foot fetishes. With ingenious questions and plenty of experiments, it was certainly one of the best quizzes to be held this season. Those fortunate enough to attend ensured the damnation of their souls. Those who didn't will have to put in long hours of community service, Jackie Chan style, with a chainsaw. The competition was similarly exciting. In a brutal battle, Amit Varma and Ajith Prabhakar triumphed over the monstrously strong team of Vibhendu and Prasann Potdar. Sumant and Francis were also in the race until the very last question.
