Woo Hoo!
See what a few hours on a Sunday night, cranking up the ol' grey cells earned me :)http://poseidon2005.blogsome.com/2005/12/13/labyrinth-results-announced/
Yup, the person in the second placed team is me :). Not bad right? All those crosswords done during the Computer Architecture classes finally came in handy!
Ohh, BTW, did I post about the DVD player that i won in a quiz hosted by Harsha Bhogle at the beginning of the month? Well, it was a quiz based on sports and Hyderabad and I, somehow, by the skin of my teeth, managed to squeeze into the second place.
Well, this was the second quiz that i had attended which was hosted by Harsha Bhogle( the first one being the NIIT JAM quiz....more on that some other time) and like last time also, this guy just blew me away with his amazing anecdotes from the remotest corners of the cricket field. The guy is really, really witty, making some of the most sarcastic comments, which his job on TV doesnt really allow him to express that much. He had a view on almost everything under the sun ranging from Sourav Ganguly to Jagmohan Dalmiya to KPS Gill to George W Bush. Seriously, it was quite a welcome change from attending one of those Biz Quizzes where Derek/Siddharth/PigBrain go on cracking their oh-so-jarringly-below the belt jokes or one of the random quizzes done by a frustrated QM who puts fundaes that sometime give me nothing more than a headache. The questions for this quiz were provided by Quizeratti consisting of old KC hands like Bhargava, Srinivas and Satyaki and were really really workoutable, thus allowing me , an observant non-Hyderabadi to do well. Again so much better than sitting in a poorly ventilated hall having somebody lecture me on the sexual relations between Kim Philby and Graham Greene which has been allegorically represented by Lucian Freud in some godforsaken painting.
Quite a productive month i must admit! :)
