A history of the BC quiz club - III Part 3 of the story of the BC quiz club according to Shrirang Raddi ( Shrirang pointed out that I put in Vishal's article out of chronological turn - it should follow this one. ) The Start of the BCQC 1993 July- Third Year of Engg.. A new academic year, new crowd. Some overzealous types in our batch started preparing for the GRE at the boat club, flaunting their silly flashcards..for some, the combined desire to 'rag the fresher' and 'improve one's English through constant practice' had unanticipated results - as when during an afternoon ragging session on the Boat Club lawns, one of my friends asked a fresher "So, does your gulphriend have organisms".. The great Niranjan was no longer with us, so Aniruddha Karve had to hunt for a new partner. There was no shortage of talent.

A history of the BC quiz club - IV The story of the BC quiz club continues, but this time by Vishal Dalal This takes over from Shrirang's third article on the Boat Club Quiz . Most of it rings very true except the part on me being rotund. Vishal Dalal = George Thomas * 2 is taking things a bit too far. 1.5 is more like it. Shrirang , Maya and Aniruddha left the Pune quizzing scene in 1995 to Pune quizzing's infinite loss - Shrirang to IIM Bangalore , Maya to IIT Powai and Aniruddha to Penn State for his PhD .
