The second leg of EQL season 2 was held on September 12th, Saturday at Bhavans Girinagar. Although it was blistering hot outside, the air conditioning provided us some relief. The enthusiasm of the participants really lifted our spirits. The prelims started at around 11am. Ernakulam teams set high standards in quizzing and this Saturday was no exception. We had a really tough time deciding the finalists as many of the teams came close to the cut off of 11. There were a lot of funny answers with the wackiest ( Rajnikanth as batsman ) earning a cool perk.
Bhavans Adarsha Vidyalaya were really in the mood with three of their teams making the final six. Hari Sri Vidya Nidhi, BVM Elamakkara and BVM Eroor each had one team in the finals.
With almost all the lights out, the hall had more of a theatre atmosphere. The first two rounds were closely contested with very few questions going to the audience. -“Cometh the hour cometh the man”- As the quiz progressed, Bhavans Adarsha Vidyalaya rose to occasion and proved that they were a notch above the rest. After six rounds of hard fought, tension packed, high profile quizzing, we had our winners. The first three spots were grabbed by teams from Bhavans Adarsha Vidyalaya.
It is a sad truth that when we enjoy ourselves, time seems to have wings.
So the curtains came down on the second leg leaving us hungrier than ever for more quizzing. Till next time adios.

Cancer paralyses the mind of both the suferer and his relatives; very few can accept it with equanimity. Here is someone, however, who has written a humourous poem about it although he isn't a poet. He concludes with these lines:
'My final word, before i'm done,
Is "Cancer can be great fun".
Thanks to the nurses and Nye Bevan

With a sufficient sense of humour.'
