Notes on recent quizzes

* Kunal Sawardekar's tales of "roaring rampages of revenge" at Malhar 2004: here and there.

BTW, he and his FC teammates brought back a neat haul from "Jhavier" winning "North by Northwest" and coming 2nd in the Book Quiz. Nice!

* A typical BVHK post on his experiences at The Landmark Quiz 2004 at Chennai.

* The Hindu's report of the Landmark Quiz
