Emergency Measures Quiz This Sunday

Atul Mathew and Pradeep Ramarathnam were supposed to give us a full quiz this Sunday. However, due to a variety of reasons (which can be approximated to them being lazy gits, if one is so inclined :)), they won't be able to do the quiz they'd originally planned. So Atul will share with us questions from a recent BCQC session. As always, the dirty details:

Quizmaster: Atul Mathew (with a little help from our friends in Pune)

When: 3 PM, Sunday, 6 September, 2009 (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.

This Sunday's BQC Session

Janardhan R. will host his first quiz for the BQC this Sunday. It should be fun - and hopefully we'll see a lot more first-time QMs at the BQC in subsequent sessions.

QM: Janardhan R.

Time: 3 pm, Sunday, August 23, 2009 (Please be there by 2:45 pm.)

Venue: Pinstorm, Ground Floor, Swati House (Next to Kotak Bank on Linking Road), North Avenue, Santa Cruz (W).

The Talented Mr. Deb

The monsoon might have been a bit of a damp squib this year, but the BQC has been quite a bit of fun so far. More fun and games this Sunday, courtesy of Anannya Deb, who puts his leaderboard position on the line and becomes QM for the afternoon. If his last quiz was any indication, this one should be a doozy. Be there, it's not like you'd rather be doing something else.

QM: Anannya Deb

Time: 3 pm, Sunday, August 9, 2009 (Please be there by 2:45 pm.)

Venue: Pinstorm, Ground Floor, Swati House (Next to Kotak Bank on Linking Road), North Avenue, Santa Cruz (W).

The Prodigal Returns

Ajith Prabhakar sent us all a nice email saying goodbye to the BQC, apparently for something better in Trivandrum. Clearly he left something behind, because he's in town this weekend, and asking questions. We'll call it the Ajith Prabhakar Farewell Special, and buy him beer afterwards.

You should join us - for both quiz and beer.

QM: Ajith Prabhakar

Time: 3 pm, Sunday, July 26, 2009 (Please be there by 2:45 pm.)

Venue: Pinstorm, Ground Floor, Swati House (Next to Kotak Bank on Linking Road), North Avenue, Santa Cruz (W).

Any Given Sunday

That's usually when quizzers are free to do what they do best. This weekend being one such, the Bombay Quiz Club gets its motor running. Vibhendu Tewari and Sarat Rao will be our driver and tour guide respectively. I'm sure Sarat would like to drive, but given his vision, Stevie Wonder is probably going to be his navigator. It should be a fun ride. You should come along.

QM: Vibhendu Tewari and Sarat Rao

Time: 3 pm, Sunday, July 12, 2009 (Please be there by 2:45 pm.)

Venue: Pinstorm, Ground Floor, Swati House (Next to Kotak Bank on Linking Road), North Avenue, Santa Cruz (W).

This Sunday, At Pinstorm...

The BQC Season Four rolls right along, with Vijay Shankar at the helm. He promises a fun quiz for one and all, and the winners might be able to gain enough experience points to buy the Armour of Invulnerability. No wait, wrong game. This one's a quiz, folks. I promise.
