Only in NSIT

Yeah, my 4th semester has almost finished, barring a single practical that remains to screw whatever that is left of my academia. And yes, I haven't forgotten about the long awaited post on 3rd semester, but being the esteemed students of the great institution, they want to inculcate in us honorable virtues of patience, to have steadfast dedication to one's work without craving for the fruits of success or failure. Even though the administration at DCE decided that a wait of roughly four months is a good enough test and announced the result, we at NSIT have to obviously top our fellow brothers and sisters. With this thought, its been 6 months and still counting and the wait is on...

Mahaquizzer 2009 took place today. My first hands-on (?!) experience of the quiz was pretty average. Its a tough quiz, comprising of 150 questions to be attempted in 90 minutes. Conducted by the KQA, it aims to cover as diverse topics as music, sports, science, history, art, pop culture, geography etc but is skewed a lot towards hindu mythology and other such 'super-specialty' topics of the great quizzers from the south. Frankly speaking, it was quite boring, with moi falling asleep twice during the quiz. The questions didn't have too much workoutablity in them, hence reducing it only to a know-it-or-you-don't thing. No doubt the quizmasters are great quizzers, and considering that its open, I expected it to be like this. But yes, I also expected a lot more.


Have a long and hopefully productive vacation lined-up for myself. Will write something about my experience of it too. I do hope that I will have to write it only after my post on the 3rd sem though. :-)

Cheers!
