reinforcing purple haze
no the blog is not about marijuana or of its kind or me taking to those addictivedrugs. its abt me joining the quizzing team purple haze. although they had named the team keeping the purple smoke of marijuana in mind. ok for those who dont know its swaroop and sambit's team. yes its the indomitable and untameble team. if statistics goes right then perhaps they are the best college level quizzing team in eastern india. having beaten the stalwarts of the quizzing circle they have stamped there supremacy in bhubaneswar. winning quizzes after quizzes. but why am i writing abt them. its my blog and supposedly to be written abt me. yeah i do admire their success in quizzing. its my utmost quizzing desire to defeat them atleast once. But a fortnignt back i got a proposal frm them to join there group for the coveted mary bucknel trophy . swaroop had hinted me abt his intentions a couple of months back. but i had denied him straight-forward. i had replied tht i would rather defeat the winners than be a part of the winning team and win.i was to team up with sammy, sandi and chet. but i fell for their proposal the second time. not because it was an enticing offer but because i had the fear of having a stranded team like last time. i was sure of sammy's interest (infact i owe my quizzing spirit a lot to sammy) but couldnt rely on chet and sandi's committment.on a lighter note i couldnt rely on tht bangali and the half bagali. i had to accept their offer. but on accepting there offer i very often wonder if i have taken the rite decision. am particularly disheartened abt leaving sammy in the midway. now he would feel the same thing abt me all tht i felt abt sandi and chet the last time. infact chet has already informed tht he wont be able to make it to spring fest this time. but it wasnt intentional infidelityy but rather a compulsive one. srry sammy.
but since i have already taken this decision i should put my distracting thoughts to the backburner and put my efforts towards winning the competition. but will i be able to contribute in their winning ways. for the non-quizzers let me say like cricket quizzing also depends on partners. if u are not comfortable with ur partner then u better quit before the start of the quiz. i had faced similar problem when i had partnered with tht big name --durgesh bhaiya. though i have a feeling tht i wont have problems with sambit and swaroop. i hope their quizzing stature wont intimidate me and take toll of my quizzing ability. and hey sammy u can count on me the next time. this is just a one off time.
