One of my colleagues, Jolly, and I had to take part in a quiz held at Chennai. Both of us had busy schedules and hence could not spend a lot of time learning. We took a taxi for the 3 hour drive and went to my home (in Chennai) and after lunch went to the venue. We went in quite nervous. We started off badly – the first round was on embryology and we did not answer a single question. We started answering a few questions after that. To cut a long story short, we finally ended up in third place (we actually should have been second if the the quizmaster had not made a very controversial decision). Anyway, we did better than we thought. The winners were definitely better than us.
Well, we learnt a lot of things and so it was useful…. so losing is not the end of the world!
