A wonderful afternoon turned into a magical evening on the 15th of August, 2019, when it was announced that our Insitutute , Mushtifund Aryaan Higher Secondary School ( MAHSS ) had won the 10th Edition of the prestigious Incredible India Quiz organized by the Sunday evening Quiz Club. The event was held at the reputed International Centre , Goa.
Five teams from our School, comprising of both, STD XI and XII Students, participated in this quiz amongst the 80 teams from all over the State.
The Quiz started off with the Preliminary round at 2pm which was a Crossword style puzzle. It had 26 Questions , each answer beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. It tested our knowledge across all fields, from Mobile apps to the Nizams of Hyderabad!
Two teams from our school were selected for the second round , along with four other teams from different schools. Gaurav Awasthi and Antash Misra, stood first in this round with a whooping score of 25 out of 26. Our other batch mates, Kavish Priolkar and Kalyan Salkar missing it by a whisker with a score of 22 out of 26.
The top six teams were then called on stage for the final round which was an intense evaluation of our knowledge at the same time , our temperament and composure were tested.
We were grilled with questions ranging from identifying Indian Foods to naming a peculiarity of the Gond Tribes, from Indian History to Film Stars!
Both the teams from MAHSS performed extremely well, with Gaurav and Antash scoring a total of 145 points and bagging the First Place by a margin of over 40 points !! Thus bringing the event to a satisfying close.
None of this would have been possible without the constant support and guidance we have received from our Director of the Institute MAHSS, Mr. Vyankatesh Prabhudesai, who always encourages us to participate in all these events and to whom we are deeply indebted.
