Verve is the name of the inter-college fiesta prearranged by the Express Youth Forum (belonging to the Indian Express, Pune) and has a quiz as part of the many contests that make the entire fest. Primarily because the quizzes have been planned by the EYF people who did not know the word "quiz" started with a "Q", Verve has been the scene for some incredibly unbelievable mistakes and maddening formats.
This year's verve will be celebrated in April 2007. Pune is the city of students. Thus, Verve event in Pune is celebrated with joy and passion. You should not to miss the seminars and a range of other interactive events that continue happening within the city for these youngsters. While most of the festivals in Pune are inter - collegiate festivals, many colleges manage their own in-house fests to keep the spirits alive.
If anybody is marveling why the Verve quizzes have any conventional significance, it is only because it is the only quiz that makes headlines in the colleges. Scarcely any person in any college knew anything about the Mensas, or the Shyam Bhats or the B C Joshis. If you think you are the quizzing champion of the college, well, to prove it to them, you have to come first at Verve. Also was allied the points that were obtained from a top three finish in the quiz could help decide where the college stood in the result. There was no clearing up to the quizzing aficionados that unlike a street play or a rangoli competition, a quiz had several mysterious variables to it, something that was adequately established by the EYF organizers of the quiz (whose faces can still be seen on the posters on quizzing walls that require their detainment for a million dollars to abet a public hanging. These are strong words indeed, but entirely justified.
