No Part Points!!

The Quiz Foundation of India (Chennai Chapter) is proud to announce the first edition of 'The QFI Open Quiz 2005'.

Apart from being original, well researched and immensely entertaining, this quiz also aims at making quizzing a fun experience for everyone involved. It will try and bring to a wider audience the same mix of light-hearted fun and serious high-standard quizzing that is seen at QFI's fortnightly meetings.

It is an open quiz with no conditions whatsoever for participation. All are welcome to participate. Teams of three or less. There will be no registration fee or any kind of registration process. Just come and participate. Total prizes worth Rs.25000 from India's leading bookstore - Landmark on offer!

The details are as follows:

Date: 5th of June 2005 (Sunday)

Schedule: Prelims - 3:00 p.m. and Finals - 5:00 p.m.

Team size: Maximum of 3 members

Venue: Central Lecture Theatre (CLT),
Humanities and Sciences Block (HSB)
(opposite the Open Air Theatre(OAT))
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras


I will be conducting the quiz along with my two regular team mates Vikram and Krishnamurti. Please do come and have fun. Plenty of audience prizes also on offer. Also, if it's not too much to ask for, please put this up on your bulletin board or something and help spread the word. Thanks!

Help me Dude, I'm lost.

I was searching for Elvis and somehow ended up in your blog, but you know I'm sure I saw Elvis in the supermarket yesterday.

No honest really, he was right there in front of me, next to the steaks singing "Love me Tender".

He said to me (his lip was only slightly curled) "Boy, you need to get yourself a shiny, new plasmatv to go with that blue suede sofa of yours.

But Elvis said I, In the Ghetto nobody has a plasma tv .

Dude I'm All Shook Up said Elvis. I think I'll have me another cheeseburger then I'm gonna go home and ask Michael Jackson to come round and watch that waaaay cool surfing scene in Apocalypse Now on my new plasma tv .

And then he just walked out of the supermarket singing. . .

"You give me love and consolation,
You give me strength to carry on "

Strange day or what? :-)

I just searched "blog skin" on Google and found your blog.
It is very interesting, keep up the good work.

I think it would be a great asset to my newBlog Directory. Its good for your search rankings and Its free and only takes a few minutes to fill out.

If you like I can add it for you, just visit the site and click the contact button, I don't want to post my email address in your comments, you know how fast spammers pick up stuff like that.

If you could give me a link on your blog to my directory I will give you a featured listing.
