I and team-mate Ram won the local edition of the ET in the Campus quiz. This was a first in two ways for me. First, this was the first time I’ve taken part (and won) in a Giri quiz. Secondly, this is also our first win in IIMC colours.
An online edition can be perused here
Incidentally, while on stage I was doing what I do best. Pimping the BCQC and the photo they carried in the ET has me in that worn-off shirt with the letters visible. Only just!

You must have noticed the decreased frequency and the corresponding decrease in the length of the posts. This indicates a surfeit of activity, which funnily means shorter and more irregular blogging. Such are the funny ways of the internet.
But here are some random disparate points before I forget them
1. Our hostel-batch combo will always be remembered by the “1:49” byline. Long live the rotund pieces of rubber on which vehicles move!
2. CV making is positively exhausting work. You never thought that there is so much to think about. Not until you come here.
3. Classes, academics and quizzes are a constantly running backdrop against which all the different actors come and go. Induction, parties, competitions, placements – the list is unending. But the reader must always remember to add “and 3/4 classes a day” too. We often take it for granted!
4. I shall be doing much travelling this month. And being in freakin’ Kolkata this means I have to take a flight to get to anywhere useful in a humane amount of time. First I am off to Bangalore tomorrow because one of my entries got short-listed for the finals. This is for IIMB’s Eximius
5. Then the week after I’m off to get my ass kicked at the famous inter IIT-IIM quiz fest Nihilanth. My team-mates better be good!
So that is all for now. Much things have to be done, and much things I’m doing as I write this. Hasta la vista!
