Yenu? Yaththa? Yaake?

(Kannada for "what? where? why?")

My liaison with quizes began when I almost won a scholarship through a quiz. The fascination was upped a notch when Derek O'Brien threw out chocolates to the audience of BQC prelims (I was there, yipppeee!!!)

When you are as good as a common-bred horse at trivia and such, it should make you mad enough to quit attending the quizzes right? WRONG! It gives me some kinda high to just be there (and write "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes tonight" for most of the answers).

I compile this list of My Gods annually (new habit I picked up since I started college, since there's no dearth of people to look up to here). And of course the reigning masters always figure in it.

I take this opportunity to salute Vada and his seemingly omniscient kin, especially Vada for having been so kind as to set questions that I have been able to work out (with little help from the loud team behind me). The sheer brilliance of his questions lay in the lucid simplicity of the answers, in the way they make u feel like a complete gavaar halli guggu at the end of the stipulated time. And also thanks to Priya, for taking pity on me and teaming up with me a couple of times.

Maybe we should hold a quiz set only by girls. The prelim questions will be only about brands, gossip and barbies; they will also be printed on perfumed pink paper (pls note the alliteration). And seeing that there are approximately two-and-a-half girls in any quizzing hall (half accounting for the girl who leaves half way through), the guy who wins to wear a push-up bra for the next in-house production.
Up for the challenge Green Goblin?
