The Hindu BusinessLine Quiz.

The Bombay Quiz Club is proud to associate with The Hindu Group on Cerebration - The Hindu BusinessLine Quiz.

After successful runs in Delhi, Chennai and Bengaluru, Cerebration will come to Mumbai on Saturday, 23 September. It will be a 2-member-team Business Quiz, with the 2 contestants necessarily being from the same educational institution or organisation.

There is no geographical restriction, so do feel free to come in from other locations as well. Ramada Plaza Palm Grove adjoins the picturesque (and of late immensely clean) Juhu Chowpatty, and a weekend there could be an added attraction.

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.

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.

What this means:
If you win all the quizzes (unlikely but suppose you do) and you split the money equitably with your team mates, you can get Rs 12,600 over two days of quizzing.

Or take the other extreme. You make it to the final of all the four quizzes but you finish 4th. You get Rs 1,200. That will cover your Uber cab fare to and fro. Or a 30 ml shot of Johnny Walker at The Jewel of India across the corridor. Or 3 khambas of Old Monk from the nearest wine shop at Worli Naka. That's how awesome our quizzes are. Like the finest single malt or dark rum around.

Directions to the venue - 

The location of the Mumbai Quiz Festival is the auditorium in Hall of Harmony at the Nehru Science Center on Annie Besant Road in Worli, Mumbai.

-- If you're coming from Santacruz domestic airport directly, take a taxi to the venue in Worli. The Bandra-Worli sea link will cut your journey of about 35 mins by half (however, you will have to pay a toll of Rs 55)

-- From the outstation railway stations at Dadar, Bandra, Kurla or CST, take a taxi to the venue in Worli, Mumbai.

-- If you're taking the city trains, the closest station is Mahalaxmi on the Western Railway line. Take a cab from there to the venue in Worli, Mumbai.

In all cases, ONLY pay by meter - Bombaywallahs will not pay one buck more than needed. (Please note: Auto-rickshaws DO NOT operate in South Mumbai where the venue is)

We hope to see you there on Saturday.
