Ingit brings it.

2013 has been a Landmark year for the Bombay Quiz Club, on more ways than one. Early this year, we got registered as a society which has opened up the possibility for us to operate on a more substantial scale. Mid-year, the quintessential Mumbai team,  Nawabs of Mahabs (Rajiv, Vibhendu, Gopal) won the Mumbai Landmark Quiz and marched ahead to win the national finals as well.  Throughout the year, BQC quizzers performed well in national and international written quizzes, while Vikram Joshi consistently churned out world top-10 scores. The Mumbai Quiz Festival 2013 was the biggest so far and has set the precedent for even more grandeur at the MQF 2014. While it was unfortunate that some regular BQC members had to leave for other cities, it was very comforting to see a good number of newcomers quizzing at the club on a regular basis. All in all, a good year.

So hosting the last quiz of this bumper year, we have someone who has had a great year himself. Coming out of a 15 year long quizzing hiatus, Venkatraghavan Sahasranaman won his debut landmark quiz in Pune this year, triggering a return of sorts to regular quizzing. He continued to do well throughout the year at Quizzes across the country, along with QM'ing a few as well, one of which he will be presenting this Sunday. We hope to see everyone there for one last time in 2013 to wish the BQC even more renown, success and glory in the coming year.
