Lights, Camera, Action!

27th May 2006...I featured in a TV show...that too in tamil...thanks to my manager who recommended me for the show...It all started on Friday eve itself.We (myself and my colleague, Kiran) were told about this game show...went directly to avm studio... magnificient set.we saw shooting of 2 rounds...frankly speaking camera fright also started gripping us...then finally i decided to give a shot...a reverse quiz where in you have to think of a personality ( a renowned personality) and the so called grand master will try to figure it out in 21 yes/no questions.Thanks to Col. Sanders(KFC) and Captain Smith (Titanic). The grandmaster (GS Pradeep) almost guessed both personalities.For the first one he guessed Col Salters...Second one he was mislead...After 21 questions he got to know that the person I am thinking was a Britishman who died in an accident which occured outside Britain in between 1900-1950 and the accident was a bad one. With only one guess left from his side, he guessed Paul Tibbets, who dropped the first atom bomb...what an intelligent guess...

But what ever prize i win, the one prize which I cherish (it is not a prize, actually i won a bet) is a chicken fried rice from canteen by a good friend of mine, BG. It happened during our inter branch festival, Chrysalis in NIT Calicut. He never expected that we will win.I had my trust in Manjith, my partner. But what happened was even more dramatic. Most of the questions were taken from K-Circle, which was one of the sites which I regulary browse.We won the quiz and then headed to Mini Canteen after that.

Also the best quizzing moment so far in my life also features BG and Manjith. Manjith was the quiz master this time. Myself and BG were in 2 different teams this time. As usual we challenged each other before the quiz. Now only one question was left...BGs team was leading with 10 points...
Last question came...."After winning so many golds in 86 Asian games why did Indonesians (country i am not sure) call PT Usha gold industry?"...Every one tried their luck...We were the last to answer...some miracle was required...Then I came up with a guess...PT(peetee) in their language means industry...may be that is why...Rest was history...
