The Quiz Announcer’s Speech
Zero score and three years ago, was laid the inception of the NSIT Quiz Fest. We’ve come a long way and we kids have done all right. And now, The NSIT Quiz Club brings to you the third edition of the NSIT Quiz Fest.
And unlike the Terminator series, which went completely awry in version 3, we're hoping we can do a much better job than John Mastow did.
A junkie in Indore recently bumped into us and asked "Kya logay?"
To which we replied while shrugging our shoulders,
"Kuch nahi bhai"
To which he reshrugged and said "Har aadmi zindagi main kuch to leta hi hai" as he walked away smiling like only the Fat Buddha does.
Yes we pride ourselves in our quiz fest, its content and the people behind it. But there should be a reason for you to come to the metro station called "Dwarka Mor" and take the 2 minute rickshaw or 10 minute walk to NSIT, other than just the "love of quizzing".
The PAISA!
Filler Quizzes --> Its Rs.600 for the winner and Rs.400 for the one who loses gold.
Main Quizzes --> Rs.2500 for being the Dhruv Sethi and Abhishek Bhardwaj of NSIT semester results, Rs.1500 for being to quizzing what South Africa is to test match cricket and Rs.1000 for the just pipping PT Usha.
And yes, ALL THE MONEY IS IN HAND. So you will be free from the mind numbing exercise of cold calling quiz club representatives like a Life insurance salesman on probation trying to earn his livelihood as most Delhi colleges make you feel like.
So yes, there will be no need for:
At the event- "Hi,When are the prizes and certificates expected"
127 Hours week later- "Paisa kab dogay?"
28 Days later- "Paisa dogay?"
28 Weeks later- "Certi to dilwa de yaar"
One Million Years A.Q(After Quiz)- "Bhai Main tujhe prize ka cut de sakta hoon.Ab to de de"
and so on.
On another hand if you believe in this you may choose to contribute your prize money to the hungry bunch that is The NSIT Quiz Club. No tax rebates but a bunch of happy smiles will be sent your way immediately.
On a more serious note, sponsors and money continues to pour in. So it only gets better! Brittania, PNB and many more are joining the bandwagon. For the money to vanish, it would really take a black swan event and a real fight with obstinate true grit from our administration.
Also, we have ten 4th years(9 with cushy jobs and IIM calls) bidding adieu to the quiz club we might throw in some cash as well. So the prizes will only get bulkier.
And now for something completely different.
