Exponentially Quizzak!!

USA so FAR!!

rishavronaldo — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 07:31:28 +0000

Never realized but it has already been like 3 months since I came to USA. Feels like yesterday when I was packing my bags and feeling weird about leaving home forever. But now that I am here I feel proud of what I have achieved. No , not what you are thinking. I am proud of the fact that I could come here,8500 miles away from home to a new country all by myself and fend for myself without being dependent on anyone. I was so tensed before I came here, but now I feel nothing off it. I have made some very good friends in Matt,Holly,Nick,PJ,John,Britanny,Chris,Greg,Wesley,etc. who have always made me feel at home and tried their best to make me comfortable at all times! When I was in school , I knew there were so many people who disliked me for a variety of reasons. Yes I admit, I was cocky, I had a huge problem in tolerating certain people and I had a big issue with people who tried to be cool and stuff but then I know, that I was’nt at fault all the time and while I tried to be a better person many did’nt,who cares but all that did leave a bad taste in my mouth and one of my main goals to come to USA was to have a fresh start, a fresh beginning and a NEW ‘ me’,to be someone everybody would like ,to be someone who everybody respected and someone who would do much more good to his surroundings than bad. I have felt that I have changed a lot since I came here. I am better at time-management,I am more responsible and I am much less arrogant than before. I have been honoured to be involved in many awesome activities on campus and interact with many awesome people and I am trying my best to keep my feel grounded.

USA has been a roller coster for me! I have had so many ups and downs,but thats just made stronger to adapt myself to all situations.

Ok some awesome times I have had!!

IRC!! SAACURH!! WESTFEST!!RETREAT!!THE ELITES SOCCER TEAM!LHAC!LAN PARTY!!INCEPTION!THE SOCIAL NETWORK!! and MY BIRTHDAY(eve and actual)..

I will upload some pics soon about my journey so far! Till then keep waiting

MOD QUIZ 2010

rishavronaldo — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:50:45 +0000

Hey there,my first post in an eternity

After passing out from school,Obv couldnt take part in the inter-school quizzes any more so thought of attending one in which my school people were taking part,just as the audience. Yeah MOD Quiz was back ,in Modern Vasant Vihar,its 22nd edition !!

The Quiz was done as usual by Pornob Mukherjee who of late has developed this bad reputation of reusing his question,giving incorrect trivia,being the vaguest person on earth . I used to admire him earlier but slowly my level of frustration has touched levels even the WTC would be ashamed off.

The prelims were simple,had I and Prateek(who answered most of the questions) been a team,we would have easily qualified. I made an archieve of the First Semi-Finals in which DPS RKP,DPS NOIDA,Springdales DK and some school from Siliguri(yes,from WB) Qualified for the Finals defeating teams from Shri Ram,NEPS,APS DK(they topped the prelims) and Sardar Patel Vidyalaya.

Here are the Semis for all too see – Hope you like them. Not the Questions,my archieve

ALL INDIA INTER DPS QUIZ

rishavronaldo — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:35:24 +0000

Well the All india inter-DPS quiz were held at dps noida on the 18th of November,2008 in which 15 DPS schools from all over the country came and participated-Including DPS VK ,DPS Rohini and DPS Noida. The format concisted of 3 quarter finals of 5 teams each…and the top 2 moving to the semis and ultimately the top 4 battling it out in the finals…VK reached the finals comfortably along with Dps Rohini,Dps Panipat Refinery and Dps Vishakhapatnam.Unfortunately our school was KOed! in the firsr tound itself…still..the quiz on contempory India was an awesome one which left me-the Jt.Sec quiz Society totally glued to my position.The quiz masters,Were Mr. Sujith Verkey and Mr.Prashant…winners of the TATA CRUCIBLE quiz…..were a good combo..as Saurabh and Tushaar from VK…floored the audience with their quizzing skills..and claimed the title comfortably..followed by Dps Rohini and Dps Vishakapatnam who were just unlucky to miss out on a second place finish..by 5 points.Overall Organizing the quiz..was a tremendous exp for me…which made me self sufficient and capable of organizing future quizzes in the school.
I would share the quarters of the quiz with u all..and hope add the semis and finals…soon
