Temple of Sun at my quiz club

Wednesday May 09, 2007

Some of those here who know me, might also know that I am extremely passionate about quizzing (though opinions differ as to whether i'm bad, or i'm really really bad at it). We have this quiz club called "The Boat Club Quiz Club" (BCQC) and I run the club's website at bcqc.org

We have formal and informal meetings, and we're lucky to be sponsored by the wonderful people at Landmark (the bookstore) - so that we have book vouchers to profit from at the end as prizes.

Every year we have this internal fest called "InFest", where all we do is quiz around all day. This year we had specialty topics (ala Mastermind India if anyone remembers) ranging from Monty Python's Flying Circus to Pink Floyd to West Indies Cricket and The Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett. There were lots of guys(+ 1 girl), and we had a total ball, the whole thing culminating with a brilliant sortie to a restaurant nearby.

Anyway, a lot of these guys are a)from my college, b)were from my college c)students from neighbouring engg colleges or d)IT professionals working in Pune/Mumbai. So obviously these guys are doing linux programming, research in Natural Language algorithms and suchlike. So I snatched away some of their time, and distributed the Temple of Sun forms and told them about Sun Studio and they all seemed pretty keen to win the $20!

We're all meeting again this Saturday (there are two quizzes). More details here: India Quiz, Sports Quiz. Hoping to get a lot of people to get involved with Sun Studio and Temple of the Sun in this way.

Note for CAs : I guess a lesson to learn is to leverage not only course/academic contacts but also other associations which may seem appropriate.
