Dr. Abraham Joseph

Dr. Abraham Joseph or AJ, as he is popularly known, is one of the most prolific quiz masters in Kerala. He is, arguably, one of the busiest quiz masters in the ring with an amazingly high number of quizzes done every year.In recent years, he is best known as the presenter of the "South Indian Bank Grandmaster" quiz. He has also been the regular quiz master of the KRL quiz held at Cochin. Old timers may remember him for the Babu Chazhikkadan trophy, of which he was a regular feature.

AJ has compiled the popular quiz book "Your Time Starts Now". An English Professor at the Mar Evanios College, Trivandrum, he peppers his quizzes with interesting questions from etymology and literature. His choice of subjects is amazingly wide, with history, current affairs, science, sports and mythology dominating the quiz. AJ can also rightfully claim to have a great collection of audio-visual content.

As a quizzer, he is most famous for winning the "Brain of Kerala" quiz in the 80s.

I remember Abraham from back when I used to represent Arts College at quizzes. Abraham and his college mate, Rajeev were the team to beat back then. I remember Abraham giving me a piece of advice- read everything.
