'That one look said it all!...' 😇

Quiz Club | 23 July 1997 😍

#memoriesfromdiaries 💛

[24 years ago!]

Yet another interesting activity that we engaged in - during our spare time - apart from the DOE Club activities, was the Quiz Club!

Well, we had one of the finest Quiz Clubs in College.

Quiz Club Members [seniors] were busy going around each and every class, announcing - with such verve  and gusto - on the activities of the Quiz Club.

Even as they were listing out the activities of the Quiz Club to all of us in class, an impulsively energized Bhagat Singh gently turned around and looked at me! 

That one look said it all!

That ‘carpe diem’ moment! 😇

A gesture that connoted to mean,

‘Rufus, shall we give it a try?’ 💪🏻

And I smiled back an affirmative nod!

And so it was, that, Bhagat Singh and myself, we both tried our luck at the Quiz Club for the first time today.

Participants were divided into seven teams of two members each, and we came fourth! ☺️

Impressed by our showing, the Quiz Master Srivatsava (our senior) asked us to come prepared for Sports Quiz for the following week’s Quiz Club Meet!

Coming back to our next diary entry of the day - 

Well, today, Ebi-mon (a senior and a family friend) came to take me along with him during SF Sir’s class.

Well, you see, it’s not that easy to convince dear SF Sir to part with his students from off his classes.

Hence, as was expected, SF Sir asked him to ‘wait’ outside the class!

We used to call them, the ‘Waitlisted’ Category!

That’s because, just a kutty little peek outside your class, and you’ll see at least four more ‘gentlemen callers’ standing sincerely out there at SF Sir’s bidding, on the Waitlisted category!

Ebi-mon was fifth on the Waiting List!
