I have been into quizzing since when I was maybe 3-4 years old. My mom had gotten me these quiz books for kiddos. And I was hooked. There was a daily quiz on radio too that my dad and my brother used to tune in to. I didn’t understand the questions, but I understood the pregnant tension on their faces as they listened carefully in a race to get to the answer before the other. Yet it never really mattered who got it first – both celebrated with high fives and pats on back. I was also keenly around when Bournvita Quiz Contest ran on TV. And when ESPN School Quiz did. And when Kaun Banega Crorepati finally kicked a popular (I hated it!) primetime Odia serial out of the 9 PM spot on our TV.
