This one a shortie! :)
“Shiii…. Quizzing? What a bore?” my friend grimaced. This was after I replied to her as to how I spent my last weekend. Not that her reaction was uncommon; I had witnessed similar response from quiet a few. Not surprisingly, a single trait binds them all. Ignorance to the pleasure one gets from the deriving the answer… Yes, I said ‘deriving’… because quizzing is not just gulping from a yearbook and puking it out at a later stage as many of the ignorant blokes seem to think. In fact this aint quizzing at all.
Yes, your memory cells do play a critical part in this activity, but its usage goes much beyond reclaiming stored bytes of data. One just cant explain the high one experiences when one boils down to an answer with help of all the info that one gathered in the past. And know whats the best part? Its instills a never ending thirst to garner more knowledge. Many of us dunno but quizzing can be loads of humour and sprinkled with bits of sarcasm too.
Imagine for once this question, “passing of which law made Dr. B R Ambedkar to resign from the assembly?”. Pat came the reply “Father in law” ;) . Now, definitely you cant say we are a bore… J
