#EQHAS Every Question Has A Story By Quizmaster Manas Nayak

By QuizWithManas

I believe every question has a powerful story & that story inspires any Quizzers or Quizmasters to frame a question and disseminate the information,trivia,knowledge that enhanced their learning curve. Guests from the quizzing fraternity of regional,national,global repute will be invited. They will talk about, Why they framed a certain question? How they framed the same in an interesting manner? Do they believe in the basic principles of #EQHAS ? How did he/she prepare for a quiz? Tips to fellow Quizzers?
