Quizzes

Quizzes are an integral part of life at IIT Bombay.
Traditionally the term implies some funfilled event where a few supposedly brainy guys are being grilled with questions that seem to be picked up from the most unheard of texts that were published by even more unheard of people, while you can sit back and thank the Lord Almighty for sparing you the trouble.
IIT Bombay gives a whole new dimension to the word "Quiz", which here means a mini test. Its a collection of few questions on a very small part of the course syllabus that needs to be solved in hardly any time and handed over for evaluation. Generally a low key affair that everyone encounters now and then. Thought of by most students as an affair small enough not to study for and important enough to score well in if one wants to score a good grade at the end of the semester. At times a series of such not so important tests (quizzes) also provide a reason for celebration to some, celebration that involves eating out or a beer/vodka for the alcohol lovers, esseentially an excuse to get away from the mess they call "Mess" here at IIT. I'll talk about the mess sometime later :D

For those who haven't guessed the reason for this post yet, well I had a quiz today. Technically speaking, post traumatic stress disorder syndrome.

Google for "post traumatic stress disorder syndrome". You will be convinced about what I said.

Also, PTSD = Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

About the sites you pointed me to; on the net with 8 billion documents crawled by google, you will always find some places that will say ANYTHING....

As for my identity, you are right :p
