Arun Warrier

Quiet, calm and efficient with an underlying sense of humor that often goes unrecognised. Formed one of the most memorable and potent partnerships of recent times with Abid in two seasons (2005-'06 & 2006-'07) bringing much laurels to NIT, Calicut and culminating in the NIT team ending up National Third at the IMS Quotient,beating such teams as IIT Bombay, NIT Trichy, Symbiosis Law College, etc. Areas of strength include sports (particularly tennis and chess) and movies. Interests include reading, chess and watching movies.One of the best quizzers at the school level in Kerala at his peak.At best, lethal and controlled. Arun was also the secretary of Enquire, the NITC quiz club during 2006-07, a period during which the club organised several quizzes in the state and achieved considerable progress.

Arun Warrier currently works at IBM, Pune.

Well, the man is the greatest exponent of fair play i've ever known. And an embodiment of die hard love of quizzing. He never gives a damn about wins, prizes etc. All he needs is good quizzing. Has the guts to say balls to anyone, anywhere anytime. Quite a man i'd say!
