Tata Crucible: why I love it and love to hate it

noreply@blogger.com (Anish) — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 04:14:00 +0000

Now that the juggernaut has come rollin' into town, its time to have fun. It's personally my favorite whipping boy. Those of you who know me a bit know I have never failed to rant about it. Yet, I attend almost every year. The least I can do is help make it better.

So here goes:
-make it longer
-make it stronger
-make it lovable

Make it longer:
Let's start with the first one. Easy one this. It's too short. It's like a quickie you have in the hotel corridor. Its over before you know it. Its lust, not love. Its an elevator ride to the first floor, a taxi to the front door. You get the idea. So, please make it longer. More questions please. More .. more .. more

Make it stronger:
OK, that's over and done with. Now, don't just ask me questions because you need to. Make the questions worth thinking over. Make it worth mulling over, like bitter chocolate. Let them leave a lingering loving aftertaste in my mouth, not sour, but sweet. Quality questions please.

Make it lovable:
And, yes, please make me love the quiz, not because its on TV, but because its worth attending. Make it a piece of art, not a standardised, template driven, machine made, piece of pressed metal made by industrial robots. Something unique, something cool, not the same ol' connections, not again!

And, just to let you know, I'm taking part this year as well, because it's still worth it.
What do you think?

Ferrari anyone?
