After having broken our new year"s resolution  ,we are back with a quiz which we decide to aptly name as "The Loosers."
Questions have been framed from every possible sphere of activity and hence u can expect ambiguity and confusion to the max.
Either case,plz bear with me :)
Kindly restrict your queries about the questions,if any, to the comments page.

Winner gets a belated V-Day gift and ofcourse free publicity.)
