Phoenix – Quiz Club Extraordinaire’

Synonymous with Modern Barakhamba, the Club weaves into its warp and weft, an appetite for meaning, enabling Club members to climb many mountains of their own choosing, notching accolades and several laurels, nationally and globally. Taking inspiration from the idea of being sedulous in our efforts, efficacious in our results and invincible in our intentions, the Logo of Phoenix conveys a tripartite message, signifying three things seminal to the Club’s ethos. First, The Wings of Phoenix- Flaming, Fiery and Flamboyant act as a source of inspiration, motivating all Club members to soar the skies and reach the apogee that all of us strive for. Second- The Open Book which celebrates knowledge and the gravitas, sagacity, erudition and perceptiveness that books give us. Third- The Pen signifies utility- Knowledge is of no use if we do not have the right tools to express it and if we cannot use it for the good of others as well as ourselves.

Quizzing is an act that requires writing and the pen symbolizes the importance of transmitting knowledge The Motto of Phoenix aptly echoes this sentiment – ‘The intelligence of a man is known by the answers that he gives- the wisdom of a man is known by the questions that he poses’.
