This one can be worked out easily.

Identify this sporting venue, which has been devastated by a natural calamity that killed lakhs of people. 

It was originally built in 1876 as a race course, and was known as “The Esplanade” till recently. It was transformed to cater to another sport in 1927, when it was officially declared a stadium only for that sport.

Pinpointing  the calamity first will always help. Hundreds of those affected by it eventually took up shelter in this sporting venue for several days.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Seven replies, and all correct! This is indeed the Galle stadium in Sri Lanka.

A super-easy one for the day.

Give me a collective name for the four gentleman shown here, and also name the individual whose face you can’t see. Identifying this quartet will easily reveal the identity of the fifth gentleman. It’s a simple case of association.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!
