Very glad to introduce Bharat-Bharati Prashan Manjusha. All are most welcome to participate in this Quiz. Let us all try to mutually seek understanding on various topics.
We plan to share a few questions every week. You could come up with the answers at our regular Saptakam Sessions and we shall try to discuss them during the Meeting. Kindly share if you have something in mind.
Note -
It would be really nice that we will not write the answers on the Saptakam webpage, for two humble reasons. One being, answers would be disclosed and we may miss the fun to explore the information and second reason is there would be sevaral Saptakam update mails, we may receive in the process. Let's seek the answers in person and discuss them when we all meet at Saptakam Sessions. After that we shall update answers on the forum.
To make it interesting, we all could decide on what reward we keep for our friends who answers most questions correct.
