Kshitj’09

Posted by: mastermind890 on: February 2, 2009

The last week I was in IIT Kharagpur for Kshitij ’09.This is the best techno-mgmt. fest i have ever seen.Some 4500 bright minds from all over the country converged to celebrate the spirit of ‘Knowledge’.The kshitij core team left no stone unturned to make this event a grand success.For 4 days IITKGP became the epicentre of nerve wracking competitions and cuting edge technology.With guest lectures by eminent people such as Chris Mackay(ex director of NASA) and Prahlad Kakkar(does he need any intro???)  and Megashows by groups from countires such as Canada and Switzerland, it was the best anybody could have hoped for.Now that I am back from Kshitij, I am going to post the questions asked in the Tech Quiz(by Joy Bhattachatya) and the Biz Quiz(by Arul Mani).The quizzes were too good especially the Tech Quiz.The Biz Quiz was rather boring which made me sleep through the entire quiz.So i dont have many qns of the biz quiz.I’ll post all the questions and their answers(wherever possible) within a day or two. So guys/gals keep your fingers crossed till then.Signing off.Gud Nite.

Why another blog dedicated to biz quiz???

Posted by: mastermind890 on: January 25, 2009

There are so many blogs dedicated to quizzing on the blogosphere.I have gone through many blogs and have benefitted highly from it.But the question is-what have I given to the quizzing community?

So,now its payback time.Is there any better way than to give the quizaholics another blog.I want this blog of mine to be different than the other blogs.Through this blog I will try to present some good original content to the readers sourced  from the ‘not so big’ quizzes which actually go unnoticed.This blog is to celebrate the spirit of quzzing-to relish the “Quizzine”.
