Prez for emergency

As we get set for the Landmark and May Fever quizzes on the first weekend of May, BQC President Anannya Deb brings us some push-up material from his quizzing cornucopia. On Dada's menu this time is the quiz he conducted in Pune on behalf of the Boat Club Quiz Club, which he has agreed to re-run for those of us across the Expressway. For those of you who are yet to attend a Dada quiz, the range of subjects he straddles effortlessly is bound to leave you awestruck, and you will surely leave the quiz much enriched.
