Few more posts, before we shut-down

Finally I decided to quit quizzing, and yes Bizdom too, don't know what will be the future of this blog.
However before shutting down this blog, I decided to pay-back all our readers (for their supports), my BiZdom team-mates, esp Shiv & Ankit (Sorry bro's I can't do it anymore)

I will post few of my quizzes on this blog before I call it a day and don't worry I am not going to irritate you all, by not giving the answers...
