Debonair Redux

Its a landmark weekend for India as Anannya Deb hosts his second quiz of the season this Sunday. In other news, there's some car race and some metal ka band concert happening somewhere in the north while the talented Mr.Deb shoots questions. For us BQC folk, that order of valuation makes perfect sense. Anannya's perfectly engineered quizzes make the racecars look like rusty jalopies and the band like a a quartet of hairy has-beens.

Also, opening for Anannya, is the written quiz organised by our calypso friends in Goa. This one shall be a solo written quiz of 120 questions. And since Anannya knows a thing or two about pwning a Goa quiz, he shall be proctoring it, so the rest of us can have a chance.

From Old Generals to Young Guns

Last weekend was a spotless display by the BQC graybeards; Bala hosting and Rajiv winning. This Sunday, the focus shifts to a young turk who reminds these

veterans of their merry budding youth. Abhinav Dasgupta, who has had a bumper year so far, will be taking the quizmaster's hot seat. Some trivia about the QM : He is the reigning Landmark Mumbai champion. He has quizzed in 5 states in the last 5 months. He has seen more dead people than Haley Joel Osment. He has read more books than India has lost Test matches.

And if that is not enough, this quiz is also one of our themed quizzes. Literature and mythology being the flavours of the day. (The veterans must already be licking their lips. After all, Bala coined the term 'literature'. And Rajiv was in school when mythology happened)

Newcomers are welcome at BQC quizzes, and do not need to form teams before coming. Teams are normally formed by a draw of lots at the venue itself, and everybody gets to take part. The questions are generally not the boring "you-know-it-or-you-don't" types, but accessible and workoutable ones.
