Thank You so much.
Personally, Quiz is a great humbler. The other person always knows better. I have still the nervousness to answer or crack questions which are unknown. But then intuition takes over.

I will be hosting the Quiz camp at Lakshmi School, Madurai from the 15th April,2010 until the month end. Feel free to contact.
