India Quiz


Navin Rajarams annual India Quiz, "Cannabis Indica" will be conducted at the BQC this Sunday.
It was conducted in Bangalore recently where it was very well received and appreciated, for being very
informative about India  both for the regular quizzer and for the newbie who has just come to learn more.

   When: 3 PM, Sunday,24th March 2013 (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.

Kurukshetra for Kurukshetra

The BQC open set the juggernaut rolling and we can't seem to stop. Tomorrow will see the third quizzing session in as many Sundays.

Rajiv Rai will conduct the Kurukshetra Open quiz, which has been set by ace quizmasters including himself, Movin Miranda and Gopal Kidao, and has been labelled as one of the best quizzes in the country. So good, that we had to announce the quiz late in order to keep the turnout in check.

Saint Rajiv is already this season's champ, and in what might be the last quiz of the season (or maybe not), he does not want to miss the opportunity to see his flock fight for the remaining points.
The quiz will be followed by a glorification ceremony for Rajiv at the nearby Barista.

Open abhi baaki hai mere dost.

One of the marvels of quizzing is that it can never get exhausted.

The third BQC open last weekend was a roaring success which saw over 200 people take part in 6 quizzes, all of which lived up to their billing. As is true with all quizzes, all questions were carefully chosen from a huge question bank. But since we had to fit 6 quizzes in two days, time was of the essence more than it was for Phileas Fogg, and the QMs couldnt fit all their questions into their quizzes. With so many QMs and so many questions, we've decided to make a quiz out of all the leftover questions.

Seriously, the marvels of quizzing.
