Rohit Nair is regular at both Corporate and College quizzes in Bangalore and writes good Quiz Reviews at his site Quintessential Theory.

And like most of us, he likes his beer cold and chai hot :-). This B.Tech Student at UVCE Bangalore is surely one to watch out for in the future Corporate Quiz circuit. Here is the Featured Blog Of the Week Quintessential Theory.

Greycells

“Greycells” was originally set up as an informal gathering of quizzers in Kerala. The current avatar had its seed in the vibrant "Kerala Quizzers" community on Orkut. The community was initially a meeting point of quizzers who were once part of the Kerala quizzing scene, but are currently based outside the state due to their professional and academic commitments. Quite soon, it received a committed following from quizzers who are currently active in the state as well. Today it is a hotbed of activity where quiz announcements are made, questions are exchanged and fond memories are recollected. It also serves as a forum where good quizzes and quiz masters are applauded and poor organizing, questions etc are soundly thrashed. Even the small achievements of the state's upcoming quizzers are well appreciated by seniors spread all over the globe. As a link between several generations, the community is a wonderful example.

The Greycells blog serves as a website for the community for announcements and quizzing news. It also features a "Quizzer Profiles" section which documents the personal and quizzing details of people who have had an impact on Kerala’s quizzing. No achievement/anecdote is considered too small to be listed here because very often it represents the fondest quizzing memories of the person profiled, as well as many of his/her contemporaries who were part of the incident!
For quizzers from the rest of the country, a more interesting feature of the blog may be the "Random Quizzes" section. It features biweekly quizzes of 10-20 questions. The objective has always been to showcase good quality questions that are workout able or interesting to know. So far, we have had around 27 quizzes in the section. Questions from many other quizzes in the state are also featured on the blog. Quizblogs.com recommends the Greycells site and invites all quizzers out there to join the fun, contribute, and enliven Greycells

The Peninsular Quizzing Circle(PQC) took birth at the small town of Palghat with a view of giving quizzers from the green bowl of Kerala, a platform to enhance their quizzing skills and share their knowledge with fellow quizzers. It was the brainchild of three young men from Palghat who always had a passion for quizzing. The PQC also conducts annual quiz called "MindBend" in Palghat , the last of which was held in October 2008 and saw great participation from the whole of Kerala and even Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The PQC blog aims to showcase questions of quality standards on a daily basis covering almost every sphere of life. The blog features a section called Hall O' Fame where the scores of participants of the blog is listed.

Quando Omni Flunkus.... Google
(When everything else fails, Google) :-))
This creatively named blog with the cool quasi-Latin name was started by S Kartheegeyan who describes himself as a nice guy who wants to finish first. A management graduate and a self professed quizzer from school days, he is also a wannabe advertising guy who claims to have got wayled into the education industry. Currently with Educomp Solutions Ltd, he is interested in a lot of stuff such as movies, books ,music, advertising, management , education and screen writing . He says he strongly detests anything that deters the learning pursuit of the student community and that his blog is an attempt to keep abreast....seek, know and share...his passion from, to and by likeminded individuals.


The name is Q... GQ. Short for Gurgaon Quizzers. If you thought they were just another bunch of people who got together to start a quiz club....well, you are (almost )right. Right now, they are about 14-people strong and catch up online to ask questions and find answers. Each of them takes a turn to be the quiz master/ quiz hostess and posts a quiz of 10 questions online. The others are given a 72-hour timeframe within which they can take a shot at answering these questions. Every quiz has a winner (who they say wins fame and glory;-) , and of course is applauded for having the highest ‘GQ’ in the group). GQ also meets up in Gurgaon every Saturday (negotiable) havin regular quizzes or literature, current affairs, business, arts, history, or science. So in case you are quiz starved in Gurgaon, do get in touch with this bunch of quiz enthusiasts. For others, do check out their site and do take a shot at their questions

Quiziebee,a blog by Anubhav Chatterjee (T.I.CYCLES OF INDIA) and Vijaykrishna C.V(Voltas) was started with the noble intention of sharing questions with quizzers across the globe who are unable to attend quizzes due to various reasons.
