Quizzical

In a quiz, even the loser (who cannot answer a particular query) turns an eventual winner (the knowledge base is widened once the answers are disclosed)… it encourages the spirit of enquiry and discovery in the minds of the participants as well the audience… it helps nurture a questioning mind, a positive outlook and a wide-angle approach to developing new dimensions to our database of information.

Quiz Masters like Siddharth Basu and Derek O’ Brien are personalities who have been able to develop multiple facets in a multi-dimensional world… In fact, Quizzing in India has developed its own, unique flavour because it involves diverse genres of different geographical regions, cultural diversity, a colourful history and an emerging collective conscience…

Whenever, any parent asks me for recommendations to develop the personality of their child, I recommend the embark on a journey of discovery… activity that involves Mother Nature (from sports to trekking), the Library Habit and developing team spirit through participation in team activities… and of course, Quizzing…

Inculcate the attitude of proactive enquiry
Turn quizzical on the path of discovery…
