Eleven answers, and all correct! This is indeed Usain Bolt’s false start at the World Athletics 2011. It got him disqualified, and started a heated debate about the new disqualification rules.
Apple and Samsung are engaged in several legal battles against each other in courts across at least nine countries. One of them is at the District Court for the Northern District of California, where Apple is trying to have four Samsung smartphones and tablets banned from the US due to alleged design patent infringement.
It was at this court that Samsung countered Apple’s allegations of it stealing from designs patented for the iPad with the argument that someone else had already designed an iPad-like device decades before the iLife giant.
Samsung says that this person, X, had created iPad’s design and depicted it in his groundbreaking work of fiction Y. Coincidentally, another of Apple’s market-changing gadgets derives its name from the same work of fiction.
Identify X and Y.
Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Five answers, but only two are entirely correct. X is Stanley Kubrick, and Y is 2001: A Space Odyssey. It’s the iPad now, but even the iPod owes its nomenclature to this ‘work of fiction’, or more specifically, the film directed by Kubrick!
Here’s a relatively easy one.
Identify both the artist and the context.
Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Three answers, and spot on! The artist is indeed Banksy, from London, famous for graffiti art all over the city. The context, as is evident from the clever wordplay, is the infamous phone-tapping scandal that spelt doom for News of the World.
Shouldn’t be too difficult.
Just tell me the country where this happened, and the context.
Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!!
PS: Here’s a replug of my opinion blog.

Three answers here, and all correct. This is the way Norwegians showed their gratitude towards the police after the lone-man shootout and bombing recently.
Spurting out again.
This is a non-entertainment question, in a loose sense, actually. wonder if many people will consider what this insect does as entertainment,
The name is obvious from the filename. Just tell me the claim to fame of this insect.
Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!
******************
Four answers, three correct. This insect makes the loudest noise possible, if one considers his body size in ratio with that sound. and the BUGger apparently does it by rubbing its penis!!
This ought to be superbly easy!
There was a point of time in his life when he wore two watches on the same hand, so that he could keep track of time in his own country and in Switzerland too, where his children studied. He even confessed in a recent interview that he has worn three watches on the same hand at a certain point of time in life, but that was simply because he thought it looked stylish.
Now, years later, he has worn two watches on the same hand for a film that itself is a cheeky nod towards his younger days.
Who is this person, and which film are we talking about?
Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!
PS: Biz World, the book, has already gone into a reprint, with the publishers having run out of the initial 4,000 copies! Go get yours from www.flipkart.com or Dial-A-book!

Eleven answers, nine correct. This is indeed Amitabh Bachchan, who repeated the feat in Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap.
Should not be all that difficult.
This is an overhead shot of a scene being filmed for an upcoming superhero flick. The green water body is probably a Lazarus Pit. Identify the film and the location.

Nine answers, and seven of them are correct! Here’s a bit of explanation first. A Lazarus Pit is a fictional putrid reservoir in which Batman’s villain Ra’s al Ghul, an immortal, rejuvenates himself. That green thing is a Lazarus Pit, and Liam Neeson, last seen as Ghul in Batman Begins, shot a few scenes near and in it at an undisclosed location near Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises!
A straight one.
Identify this gentleman.

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.
