RV QuizCorp - No Hype and Great Quizzing
Friday Evening and i happened to browse through my list of communities on Orkut. Stopped by to see what was the latest at my alma-mater - R.V College of Engineering - Community and thats where i came to know of the RV Quiz Corp organising its 10th Year of Formation with their annual quiz event.
Got a couple of my friends - Venkat, Sourabh to join in for the team.
Sunday Afternoon - 2 A.M was pretty hot, but we managed to reach on time only to realise that the quiz was postponed by an hour due to some unavoidable circumstance. We walked down to HOTEL CHALUKYA and downed a few masala dosas and few fresh juices.
3:00 and back at Hotel ATRIA, the quiz hadnt started. So we waited patiently for another half an hour and finally the prelims started. The Quizmaster - Avinash Mudaliar, quite a character in my college days continued to maintain the same cheekiness in his introduction and appraised the audience that there was a dip in the number of contestants from 72 to 17.
The Quiz started on time and the questions were challenging, workable and FUN. Amateur Quizzers that we were, managed to work out 8 odd questions in the time given.
A Tea-break followed the prelims after which everyone gathered for the Finals.
The Pattern of the Finals was professionally organised by the students.
Some great questions were part of the finals and the audience along with the participants were left spell-bound with the answers. Connection between a photo of lord clive, Basanti - the herione in Sholay and Dhaka was just too good ( Lord Clive's claim to fame is the Battle of Plassey derived it name because of the place being famous for PALASHEY flowers, PALASHEY flowers give out Basanti Colours when dried and extracted and the Word "Dhak" in Bangla means Palashey ).....Arent u saying WOW!!!
Avinash Mudaliar was entertaining all along and did a great job of Quizmaster.
The Organisation - though delayed - belied the fact that it was organised by Students of the College. The Presentation could have given even the Brand Equity guys a run for their money . Kudos to the Team for a great show. Next Time guys, give it that bit of Hype and keep up the Good Show - I had a blast of time at the QUIZ. See you next year.
