@AmlanSarkr Set yourself up with yourself. Spend more time knowing yourself. I made a massive mistake of not doing it earlier. Go ahead, eat, read, write and quiz a lot. Love.
Please RT. Will give free passes someday.
I'm a singer-songwriter currently based in Delhi who mostly writes and performs in Hindi-Urdu. I've opened for @lostinsirmaur and @Leeterature in the past, looking for writing and performing work. Also sing ghazals and stuff.
“काटों भरे हैं लेकिन चाहत के रास्ते
तुम क्या करोगे देखे उल्फत के वास्ते
उल्फत में ताज छूटे, ये भी तुम्हे याद होगा
उल्फत में ताज बने, ये भी तुम्हे याद होगा
मैं भी कुछ बनाऊंगा, तेरे घर के सामने!”

France banned the usage of mobile phones under the age of 15. Meanwhile in metropolitan India, a kid from third grade in my area was explaining his fellow classmates the plus points of owning an iPhone! #banmobilesinkids#mobilemenace
Finally, college QCs can bring about real change if they engage actively on the matters of inclusivity and diversity in quizzes. Same goes for city Quiz Clubs.
Figure out how you can bring in more diversity, in content, conduction, formats, and most importantly, participation.
To the men. Acknowledge that there is a problem, and that we are a part of that problem. And instead of just ranting or whining or trying to protect or little safe space that you don't need, actively ensure to bring about and welcome diversity.
Otherwise, this sport will be dead
To outsiders and new comers, go to good quizzes. Definitely go for every @reduvid quiz in your city, and go to other good quizzes.
If you're in Delhi, definitely go to a quiz by Ashish, or Adil & Rabin, or Akash, or Ria, or Kanika. And choose a better quiz over more prize-money.
Having more Indian content will not only keep the audience engaged but will also result in a better and accessible set.
Only a select few really care about Kanye West more than SRK, know that. These are small things which create biased circle-jerks that affect the sport.
Also, there's a dearth of good India quizzes. Most of them are disbalanced towards cow-belt India, and are attended by a select set of people, with idealogies.
There needs to be good India content in all quizzes, and we also need more balanced and well-reaserched India quizzes.
Also, make a point to include what @sai_ganesh called “non-engineering topics” like Feminism, LGBT activism, fashion, food, travel, pop ent and music.
Also, do not make MELA sets inaccessible, they're meant to be the exact opposite of that - questions from your daily easy life.
