The quiz was organized in various categories such as ‘Indian Pride’, ‘Art & Music’, ‘Sports’ , ‘Movies’, ‘India Today’, ‘Food’, ‘Festivals’, ‘Places’, ‘Personalities’ and ‘Landmarks’

   * The kid’s energy and enthusiasm could be judged by the fact that they were in a hurry to answer questions and in response to question ‘Who’s the lead actress in hit film ‘Om Shanti Om’, the answer provided was ‘Shah Rukh Khan’…

* In response to question ‘Name the national animal of India’, guess what the answer provided by a super-energetic young man was – ‘Jana Gana Mana’
