India's heart-thrilling performance in Asia Pacific Nature Quiz

The moment has arrived which me and the Indian team have been hoping for. I had never thought that we might be able to defeat the defending champions which we have done twice this year. First we defeated Russia in the finals of Indian Birds quiz in June and now we have managed the same against New Zealand in the Asia Pacific nature quiz which is a great moment to have and celebrate. Although, it was nice to meet with George and Hendry Hellenberg later on after the victory in the finals and enjoy some moments with them, but all the same the tournament was a great experience and the support we got even as a Wild card entry was a phenomenal to have as a remark. We faced teams like Brunei, Palao, Papua New Guinea, Fizi, Singapore and ultimately New Zealand in the finals, But we had to play through 5- round process in which we were also individually tested, specially it happened in the finals. WE did manage to defeat the Kiwis around 1830 to 1375 as a total score, But the credit goe to all my team mates including Nandi, Sailesh, Dhairya, and Krishnan who were the other team mates who played along side me. For those who not know, we are given devices to answer and have to play by using them as Quiz answer machines with buzzle process and it is a great fun to experience and entertain; The faster the team answer the more the chance is there for score which we did and have been a proud Visually Impaired team to reach finals and won the Asia Pacific nature quiz 2017. It is not a smooth journey as far 2017 is concerned and it is equally ups and down as the last year was for us. We did manage to hold on some bigger tournaments, But we also failed to perform our best in some home tournaments which was a disappointment and we were worried about the entry once we received it and started to focus the main key asspects. As it is a common trend across the Vision impairment community circle, when we won we are highlighted and when we loss we are not so it is a great factor to initiate once we go back and make an impact by what we have done in Auckland this time. What is most delightful to see that New Zealand is a much more aware prospect for our community and while we play against the other Visually Impaired teams from across Asia Pacific it was a great boost to take over and make the mark which was a great feeling to recognise. All what I can say that India's performance was thrilling along side the Pacific region and I would like to thank all who have been involved in support, We won't have been able to do what we have without your blessings. And For those who want us to prove whether we exist in such tournaments is not- I have no explainations for them and they can share their critics as they like to indeed. They can wait and one day for sure it will b proved that we are equally able to perform when required; Till then for those who support, Keep blessings and keep your shouts loud beyond hearing in our faith which matters mosts at large...
