BQC Session - Cricket Quiz by Joydeep Kumar Roy (Rajyog, 1.30 pm, 25 June)

[Abhinav Dasgupta]

Two score years ago Kapil's Devils brought forth on this country, a new religion, conceived in Victory, and dedicated to the proposition that India shall be the finest cricketing nation ever.

Now...we shall meet on the great battle-field of Rajyog. We will come to dedicate a portion of that venerable watering hole, as a tribute to those who played out of their lives that that sport might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But...It is for us the quizzing, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who won the World Cup in 1983 have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us...to highly resolve that the World Cup shall not have been won in vain -- that cricket quizzing, under Joydeep Roy, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that quizzing of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from Mumbai.

1.30 pm, Sunday 25 June 2023. Rajyog Bar and Family Restaurant at Kherwadi, Bandra (East).
