It has been a news heavy period. The monsoons threatening showers throughout their season and giving Anna Hazare company in their act of PMS-ing and resistance.

The first Pub Quiz at Manajsa, Tuesday Trivia I started an hour late but sans any compromise to the… Continue reading Tuesday Trivia I: A review
