Quiz

It has finally happened! A quiz in the United States, and one of a non-academic nature! On March 2nd, 2006, the duck was broken! And, as usual, it had to be desis who broke it. A gathering of 8 people plus the quiz master - a projector, 2 laptops and of course - chocolates!

A brilliant quiz! Trivia - most of it champagne stuff! Some good old chestnuts as well! Of course, the fact that I have never quizzed with anyone here before meant that I had my umpteenth quizzing partner. (I think at least 15 in undergrad itself - talk about "promiscuous" :D).

But an awesome quiz! And with this set to become a monthly feature (hopefully), it should be fun!

Bad boyz, whatcha gonna do?

Saturday began just like any other day. Loads of work, bright n sunny and no prospect of possibly enjoying it.

Saturday did not end like any other day. Not unless you count riding in the back seat of a cop car as normal.

For anyone ever contemplating about thinking of commiting a crime, I would say - DON'T! That was the lesson to be learnt from the ride.

The back seat of the cop car isn't the world's most comfortable place. The entrance has a rather low roof, so, for starters, you WILL end up banging your head as you enter. (Now you know why they always hold the head as they shove the alleged criminal into it). The partition between the front and the back is around 1/3rd of the way from the rear, making it totally cramped - there is absolutely no room.

The seat is made of bare plastic, which is rather greasy, to ensure that you slide around as the car moves. As for handholds, there are none! No handles to pull and open the door, no groove - nothing!

And, of course, being cops, they are allowed to drive extremely fast. Which makes the ride all the more "enjoyable".

So, the moral of the story, folks, is never commit a crime!

For those who are wondering - it was late at night and the cab around campus was shut, hence the choice of calling the cops.
