Watta crack!

Read this on a blog

"RV College of Engineering is more like a quiz club that does engineering for timepass. "

LOL. Man somebody finally cracked it!! Thats what we guys used to do while we were in college. Even sems were the time when the Bangalore college circuit was buzzing with activity. There was a fest every 2 weeks...oooof there was hardly any time to attend classes ;-) After all, there was lotsa money to be won. Man, if it hadnt been for those quizzes, i would have rotted away in penury with a miserable jungle life for memory. Thankfully the money that i made was more than enough to finance my "extra-curricular" adventures. Then there was also my bike which i won in a quiz...which thankfully relieved me from the agony of 222A, the godforsaken,rickety 4 wheeled monstrosity that carried the scum of the earth in its belly, from majestic to RV. Sigh...what would i have done without my bike :) . I know a lotta people who would be nodding their heads in quite approval a that statement.
The quizzing season waned around January after which the quizzes were few and far between. However, most of these quizzes were out station and that gave us an opportunity to travel to pretty much all the well-known colleges of south and west india. How were the trips financed?...From the money that we won in the quizzes there of course. So you see, the quizzing was not just about college pride or for the love of it all, it was also a very important means of livelihood.
Jokes apart, the wins in those quizzes were a high that i will never forget. I was fortunate enough to be a part of one of the best college teams in India. Man those were some good days!
