ankurbI’m not the one who likes cricket too much, but then, this new advertisement for the Indian Premier League has got such a unique visual style that you just can’t ignore it. Especially the 300-style splatter effects. Stupid song, but hey, India does seem to be going places in advertising.
So then, bang in the middle of my Board exams, 2nd March to be exact, I went to watch the Delhi regionals of the Tata Crucible 2008 Campus Edition. It was Jimi who convinced me to go actually, but I must say I’m pretty lucky to have parents who allowed me to go. It was held at Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan, and the quizmaster was Pickbrain, whose quizzes I have (and won) earlier.
Anyway, the quiz was pretty good, and Harkirat and ‘SMS’ from IMT Ghaziabad won. It was pretty heartening to know that a team from IIT Roorkee had gone all the way to the Chandigarh regionals, got stuck in a traffic jam so missed it there, came to the Delhi regionals JUST FOR THE QUIZ, and qualified for the finals again. THAT, is what I say love for quizzing.
You can get the questions too, some of which have been put up on the NSIT Quiz Club blog. Bigger credit goes to Jimi though, for noting down, and meticulously compiling and recreating all the questions.
PS – I came across a blog which has the prelims questions of Tata Crucible 2007 Campus Edition; which city, I dunno. You might wanna check it out.
