Once upon a time there was a quiz. It was a nice quiz. It was a fun quiz. It was a quiz that everybody loved. It was the Durgotsav All Pune Open Quiz Championship organised by the Bangiya Samskriti Samsad. Thousands came every year to hear the that melodic Bengali voice going "Bhasant! Bhisol kahaan hai?" 

But then everything changed. Giving in to minor protests by so-called intellectual quizzers and reflecting a clear Maoist bias, the BSS has done away with the Bengali QM and brought in Oboneendro instead. In protest of this massive loss to the Pune Quizzing Community, we are conducting a Memorial Bhisol Quiz. 

Quiz 2: Bhasant! Bhisol Kahaan Hai?

Quizmasters: Aditya Gadre and Shubhankar Gokhale
Flavour: General (Visuals only)
Format:  One minute silence followed by written prelims (bring a writing instrument) followed by a final ; two members per team; no prior registration needed; no entry fees
Timings 3:00 pm to 6.00 pm 
Date: 21st October (Sunday)
VenueSeminar Hall II, College of Engineering, Pune
