Yesterday, a bunch of admen and women tried to showcase their mental prowess and knowledge of supposedly pointless information. (Though, if it was so pointless, how come it won us valuable vouchers?)

The BBC Think Tanked quiz was held at Zenzi Mills in Bombay and Pinstorm sent in two teams along with a cheering squad sans the pom poms – much to the relief of our HR. Many internal demons were conquered as the brave Pinstormers managed to stay sober at a venue where booze was free and flowing.

Mahesh, Nikhil and Namita managed to bag the third prize after a tight battle across 40 questions while Gayatri, JK and Vibhas managed to come in sixth in the pecking order.

A great performance if we say so ourselves. Especially considering that the quizzing careers of most of us were limited to their rather distant college days (Mahesh as always continues to be the exception, even to this rule!) .

Not only was Pinstorm’s quizzing ability acknowledged they also gave us a prize for being the noisiest bunch around. A big thank you to Anjali, Vicky and their respective vocal chords.

The evening concluded on a good note as Mahesh conducted an informal open round of quizzing while the rest hit the bar and continued to gloat at their Crossword gift vouchers.

We’ll keep doing this and keep getting better at it. Coming soon, at a quiz near you. Do watch this space.
