Once again, folks, sorry for the long hiatus. Had been in a very low phase lately. trying to claw back into life, and hopefully this blog and your responses will help.

Regards, Arkadev.

And here’s an easy one to get the ball rolling, again.

Simply, identify both.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

PS:

Here’s today’s Funda of the day from Biz World, which is already one of the Top 10 books at www.flipkart.com!

Four answers, and they got what I was looking for. One of them even got something I had overlooked! This is apparently a fake photograph of John F Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.

Sorry for the looooooooong hiatus, folks. This blog will be limping back to normalcy now. Meanwhile, as a few of you have pointed out, the answer is indeed Leonard Nimoy, who was Spock in the original Star Trek series, and also directed Three Men and a Baby, which was remade in Hindi as Heyy Babyy.

Shouldn’t be too difficult.

Happy Quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Oh, and…

Here’s your funda of the day from BizWorld. They have already started shipping his book, and I already have my autographed copy!

*****************

Three answers, and two correct. It’s indeed Stuart Little, the film. Michael J Fox voiced Stuart, Hugh Laurie played his father, and Manoj Night Shyamalan co-wrote the story!

Sorry about the erratic posting, folks. Not been keeping too well. Exhaustion and all. So I’ll keep this one simple.

What is the biggest claim to fame of this hospitality institution? Sorry for the wonky photo, but I guess it’s still easy.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Here’s BizWorld’s Funda of the Day.

Just three replies over two days, and one of them is incorrect! The real claim to fame of this place is that it inspired The Eagles to write Hotel California!

Here’s a connect.

2. The book on which this film is based is important.

3.

I want a VERY SPECIFIC answer. And it is beyond the absolute obvious.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Meanwhile:

Here’s BizWorld’s Funda of the Day.

***************

Seven answers, but only three have the full funda. All three books have been made into films starring Irrfan Khan and Tabu in the lead. Ang Lee is currently making Life of Pi, actually. Got to know of it from Irrfan Khan himself, who I got to interview on Monday.

Lets make it a not-so-easy one.

Identify this lady.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

And here’s the second funda of the day from Bizworld.

Filenames, as usual, remain unchanged.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

PS, Also take a look at this:

These two friends of mine are coming out with a book on business quizzing. Go ahead and buy it from Flipkart if you like.

**************

Five answers, and all correct! It’s indeed Jaya Bachchan nee Bhaduri, who made her acting debut in the Bengali film Dhanni Meye, and also acted in Hazaar Chaurasi ki Maa, directed by Govind Nihalani, and based on Hajar Churashir Ma, written by Mahashweta Devi.

Lets keep it dry for the day.

Within hours of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I, which character, whom one of the directors of the earlier films in the franchise wanted to write out but could not because JK Rowling insisted that the character would play a very important role later on, began to trend on twitter worldwide, and remained that way for quite a few days?

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

PS: Got the laptop. Thanks to the one ‘anonymous’ person for the advice. Got me a Dell Vostro 1015. Sound’s not too good, but the rest of it is a real steal!

Oh, and check out the latest post on my opinion blog.

Wow!! 276 visitors, and not a single reply! I though it was obvious! The film ends with the death of Dobby the house elf!

Simple.

Gimme the name of the artist.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

PS: I am about to buy a laptop/netbook in the Rs20,000-25,000 range. DDR3 RAM, at least 250-320GB hard disk, preferably AMD processor. Any suggestions?

**************

Seven answers and one advice. All seven answers are correct, though. This is indeed Mamata Bannerjee in action. One of her paintings recently sold for Rs50 lakh at an auction.

A slightly difficult one.

This 4,446-metre high peak in country X was named after the leader of country Y so as to promote friendly relationships between the two countries. Z, the leader of Y, has several other achievements to his credit. Z has written a book on Judo, and is said to be the only world-leader to have a special Judo move of his own. On a certain occasion, when forest fires ravaged parts of Y, Z actually got into a helicopter and piloted it while spraying water/fire-retardant material over parts of the affected area. On another occasion, Z actually put a wild tiger in a forest to sleep with a tranquiliser gun, and helped forest officials measure its teeth!

Identify X, Y and Z.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

15 replies, and barring Yash the Dark, all seem to have conquered the summit! This is indeed Mount Putin in Kyrghystan, named after Vladmir Putin of Russia.
