Every year , i go on a pilgrimage to taj residency in cochin marine drive on usually the second week of march.!! Wierd isn't it..Well that's just me..Being a huge business buff, i am highly complacent about my abilities to win the prestigious tata crucible..This quiz is unlike other quizzes...There is a genuine feeling of ease whenever i try to answer the business related questions...fo e.g - in other quizzes they mat ask the desert in which the good , the bad and the ugly was shot!!! A brilliant question , claps all around if someone answers it right and claps for the quizmaster if anyone doesn't...in the crucible they shoe you the poster of a simple down to earth film like "udaan " and ask you who the production house...the so called "gods of quizzing " may not be able to answer it but the normal film addict would!! thats the beauty of this quiz..its too simple in a lovely way!!! business!!
For the first year , i just went about the quiz like an amateur with my quizmate anand, with no dreams only hope!! It was not a disaster mind you...for first years , we scored a lavish 10 points where the cut off was 13!! a good start ..thats when i realised this was for me!!
how wrong!!
the second year , i prepared for 2 weeks rigorously...seeping up every bit of trivia i could find on business!! They announced the finalists and yet again our names were unsurprisingly missing.
I decided it was time for me to step up , and prepare for the crucible 2011..this time the whole year was spent on writing a diary full of facts that you would crave to get your hands on!! This year Ronnie Raju would be my partner...From november 2010 i started preparing in a hardcore manner!! I had to atleast be in the final this time around!! 4 months of vigorous preparation, ended on march 21 9:00 pm ...when i decided this was enough!! Unfortunately, the next day i found it wasn't...Everything i studied was just rubbish and i had wasted my time on researching these topics...Huge mistakes in the prelims saw us losing out to 2 points in the prelims!!! How sad!!!
i guess that is what they call life!! this is not a positively inspiring post!! , this is just my way of letting out the agony i felt!!!
