A little comment on the gifts given by AIMA to the top six teams:
1.Few “Catch “Salt and Paper pkts. Fiama Di Wills Shampoos, one /two Yellow (!!!!) colored lipsticks/Nail polishes (for Lady Gaga!!) of some unheard brand. Was it a joke?!!!AIMA charges Rs.7000/ per team (probably highest in India for a Biz Quiz) and the Venue/other expenses etc. most probably borne free by the newly set up IMI, Kolkata.
We know this is not Tata Crucible or Brand Equity Quiz, which are supported by Big Corporates. Nobody asked for such gifts in first place. AIMA also does not announce Prize Money for the Regionals beforehand ,so you never know. Why cut such a sorry figure? Just give some pens/books or cups to the teams, nobody would mind. After all, teams come to participate just for their love for quizzes.

2.And the quiz never starts in time. Hope somebody will take note.
