Alpha - Q!

Most of you would know that I am a passionate quizzer. For those of you who don't, "I am a passionate quizzer". Now you know...

Last Monday, 14th September was something special. I consider it one of our biggest victories. Deepak and I were at KQA a few weeks ago and we decided to call ourselves Alpha-Q! So there... any collaboration to do with Deepak + Me will be under the inglorious title of Alpha-Q. The inglorious basterd I am referring to in this case being Udbhav Tiwari.

So Monday... we set out for the Rotary Quiz conducted by Arul Mani. Open to all colleges mind you. So the prelims had 25 crackers for questions and we managed a borderline score of 13. We were pretty sure it was game over because the big dogs would obviously clean us out. But lo and behold, we entered a tie breaker just to make it into the finals! So there we were, a P.U team amidst giant quizzers.

Just before the tie-breaker, as Tiwari and Deepak chanted rampant prayers for their respective favourite deities, I, being the atheist that I am, reached into my bag and squeezed an .... ahem... "lucky charm" and thought to myself... "Please let me get this one".

Well I guess the charm worked like a charm!! We nailed Christ Law and made it to the Finals. So there we were...
2 teams from NLS
1 team from IIM-B
1 team from R.V.C.E
1 team from B.M.S.
and yours truly... Jain Callaze P.U.C!
Obviously, we were a little lost in the finals and finished last! But screw that... let the booze flow like water, we landed a biggie!

This post is a toast to 2 guys who cracked beauties... Mr. Udbhav "Snitch" Tiwari and Mr. Dee-Fuck Gecko. 100 Bucks to the person who correctly IDs what the damned "lucky charm" was! Its a dare!

Good Night,
Mr. Suraj "Lager" Prabhu
