Once upon a time, there were rumblings of a literature quiz in Pune. Originally expected to take place in 2009, it had been postponed due to several unforeseen circumstances, including H1N1, the Landmark Quiz, Pune, and general inertia. Imagine our surprise, then, that it actually happened, with eyewitnesses testifying to its existence.
So, in an effort to independently verify these rumours, we have asked Anand Sivashankar to present it at the Bombay Quiz Club. Come on over, in the true scientific spirit, we shall explore the legend of the Lit Quiz. After that, we can safely move on to UFOs, the Chupacabra and the Abonimable Snowman.
Quizmaster: Anand Sivashankar
When: 3 PM, Sunday, 25 April, 2010 (Please be there by 2:45 PM for team assignments)
Where: Pinstorm, Ground Floor, Swati House (Next to Kotak Bank on Linking Road), North Avenue, Santa Cruz (W).
Directions: From the south: If you come north on Linking Road from Bandra to SantaCruz, you'll find a large Benetton Store on the right. At the end of that block is a Kotak Bank at the corner. Take a right and it's the next building, take the first gate and tell the sentry you've come for the quiz. From the north: If you get on to Linking Road at the airplane park end, you'll cross a HDFC Bank. A block later, you'll see a Kotak Bank on the corner - do not cross it. Take a left at that point and it's the building next to Kotak Bank.

New Season Kicks Off
We'll be kicking off the new BQC 2010-11 season with an old-but-mostly-unseen quiz. Rajiv Rai will play quizmaster, with questions from the excellent Kurukshetra Open 2010 held in January. Some of us were there for that quiz, and we'll be sitting this one out. The rest of you, this is going to be awesome.
This is also a good time to make two announcements:

This is also a good time to make two announcements:
- If you hosted a quiz for us last season and have not shared your questions with me, please do so ASAP. There are plenty of online storage services which you can use to send out large files. Our subscriptions are incentivized through this sharing, so we absolutely must have them sent out.
- Speaking of subscriptions, it's that time of the year again, and I'll start passing the hat around on Sunday. Please to be contributing generously. :)
