First things first.
- BQ is a non-profit, non-mandatory, voluntary participation event.
- You can take part either in the B or the Q part.
- The winnings are all actually part of a zero sum game.
- And many a winner from the past events have donated all or part of their winnings to Charity with top-ups from the bank.
So, do not fret. Just go ahead and enjoy the fun!
Having said that, if you missed the bus on the semis line up and would want to join the fun, write to me.

It is really Cricket Crazy on Star Sports.
Firstly you have Cyrus the virus (serious offence to the Boman Irani).
Then you have Shonali the snake queen - who follows Gandhiji sartorially speaking - less is more!
And on top, there is Danny Morrison of double-D fame!
Our father in the heaven...
The super-8s started as the Brits are trying to elect a Gardener of Brown stuff or the almost-avatar-director or the one with the nice leg.
And this is the Pakistan that Balasaheb would have loved; as flat as the beer that he likes to drink; spills all over the place; incorrigible running between the wickets; more incorrigible shots... yet, they will come back.
England were clinical, in fact a bit too clinical to my liking. But something in the stiff breezes of the Windies always make the English men mad and my bet is that they would lose their marbles sometime in the next few days - say against NZL!
SA were again, for the lack of a better word, clinical. Southee, after that brilliant catch to dismiss Kallis, made amends by donating all those sixers at the death. After that sleep took over :-)

Answer to BQ-2:
Really a large number of correct answers. If BQ-1 was easy, then this seems to have been downright Primary school stuff. 12, you read it right, twelve people got it right.
Anand Re, Ananth, Bob, Ganesh Kumar, Guru, Ishan, Laks, Maanasa, Saran, Shiv, Siva* & Yadavalli comprise the cricket team that gave the right answer which is 1. Good one, folks.
And here is BQ-3:
Hopefully a tricky one...
The rough English translation of a famous exhortation is given below. Which one?
I die. I die.
I live. I live.
I die. I die.
I live. I live.
This is the fierce and powerful man
Who made the sun shine on me again
Up the ladder, Up and Up
The sun shines and Rise!!!
