Quijj...or something like it

never felt so happy not qualifying for the finals of a quiz which can rightfully claim to the big daddy ( age n content-wise ) of all Quizzes in India, for that any quiz.
The whole qualifying process was a sham, solely intent on gimmickry,show-boating and at times Bahuut bheg...
reminded me of the times when certain gentlemen P & B where the sole school Quiz- masters of Kolkata.

My team operates on simple funda"If we qualify,Good...if we dont...VERY GOOD".

By the time we reached the seventh question in the prelims, i knew it will be very good.

Banker buddy and the SonneKinde tried gamely ,but we just didn`t deserve to be on stage for the finals. As simple as that.
Fellow quizzers from next table, veterans of many such battles and much wiser than us ( they had a sense of deja Vu,circa 2004), just walked away,vowing to fight another day.

don't you think that the sentence should read
"...i knew it would be very good"
instead of "will be very good"?

on a different note, variety is a good thing. You need to go through all experiences to form your affiliations.
