Lit AF Literature Quiz – 17/Aug/2025 – Results
It all began with an Annie — as is tradition.
SEQC gathered on a rainy Sunday afternoon for the Literature and Language quiz that
was nothing short of literary indulgence. It was akin to digging into a delightfully
decadent murder mystery novel.
From nostalgic tales of childhood to Japanese poets, Annie’s questions danced across
genres and geographies — classic authors, obscure scribes, ghazal maestros, and
even an American rap artist made appearances.
6 teams fiercely battled it out for the title of the most Lit (!), with the first half ending in a
tight neck to neck race. Post the chai, samosa and socializing break, the teams went
guns blazing into the next two rounds.
Team 1 soared ahead with an overwhelming 270 to clinch the much deserved first
place, with team 4 not too far behind at 230.
Felicitations and congratulations to all the winners, a warm welcome to newest crop of
quizzers and most of all a big Thank You to Annie for making us feel like we need to
read more.

SEQC Road trip: The day that time did not stand still
What is the measure of a good time? For most, it is that fleeting feeling when time slips by so quickly, you hardly even notice. And for SEQC, the 10th of August 2025 was exactly that kind of day. After too many polls, vehicle plannings and pit stop discussions, we finally made our way to the Rishivan farms in Rivona, with a pit stop at Usgalimal. Following is a broad outline of this day filled with camaraderie, laughter and of course quizzing!
The day started early at 8.45 AM at the meeting spot in Panjim. With a gentle drizzle and overcast skies, it was the perfect weather for a road trip. On the way, Mayur started things with a quick road trip themed set followed by yours truly. But the true highlight of this leg of the journey was a soulful English/Konkani song that Rajiv taught us (the next generation supposedly) —one that extolled the virtues of soldiers heading to war for their country. It brought tears to our eyes.
Our driver, Sunil bab, made
excellent time, and soon we were pulling into Shervin’s in
Nuvem for a delicious breakfast—crispy samosas, rissois, and
piping hot chai. Next door, the Madre Dos Pobres Church was
alive with Sunday devotions, and we could not help but wonder if we
were about to eat the congregation’s share of the post liturgical
feast too! After stocking up on sodas and mixers at the
nearby Bagayatdar, spirits were high, and tummies were full and
the road beckoned—we were officially on our way!
