Today's ten

• A sitter. In Cricket, when do you say that a batsman is ‘clean’ bowled?
• X was born on 16^th July, 1968, at Khadki in Maharashtra. X currently lives in Powai. X took to his field after watching Mohammad Shahid, a legend in his field. X joined his brother Ramesh in the mid eighties and played in the Mumbai League. He then moved over to Mahindra & Mahindra. He then made his presence felt globally in his field and began to shine in the National and International arenas. His crowning moment came in 1998 and 2003. He was bestowed with the highest honour in his field in 2000. Today X is considered a legend in his field. His biography is titled “Forgive me Amma”. Identify X. (Once you identify the field, the whole question becomes a sitter).

• Identify the sport being played.

• X is a very significant place in Modern India. There is a significant mention of X through a story in Indian Mythology. Also X has a prominent place in Medieval Indian History. Legend has it that during 10^th century AD, a king in pursuit of a parrot during hunting stumbled upon the figure mentioned in Indian Mythology and he built a city around that figure. Hence X came into existence. X had withstood many conquests from Muslim invaders during the 12^th and 13^th centuries. Identify X. (Hint: Our National animal was featured in that King’s flag)

• Which company/organization is the largest consumer of silver in the world? (Courtesy: Saarang Business Quiz)

• Connect Asterix and Sholay.

• X is probably the biggest fan of Y. Though X comes from a family of filmstars, X had stated in an interview that it was the idea of acting with Y that made him/her enter films. X never accepts money for acting in a film with Y but instead gifts the director for giving him/her a chance to act with Y. X has seen Y’s film Z more than 150 times. Identify X, Y and Z.

• Identify this Gentleman.

• Which Indian brand’s retail chain is called “In & Out”?
• The four Yugas according to Hindu Mythology (until now) are X Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga and Kali Yuga. What is X?

Ashwin Murali's mix of sports, mythology and mostly India. Haffun cracking these!

1.The band's name was derived from the word X taken from the Wilbur Smith novel Sunbird. In this novel, X is the name of a city of the moon. Name the band. (Not workable but included it as I wanted a tribute question :) )

2.What is the contribution of Alberto Korda aka Alberto Diaz Gutierrez's contribution to the world? His contribution is used even on currencies in his native country. (The country would give it away)

3.This is the first time a Tamil movie is having a promotional song i.e A song which does not feature in the movie but has been released to media. Which movie? (Clue if it helps, The song was sung by Benny Dayal)

4.X were generally supplied by Goldings which was a very famous Barnados school. Some duties of X include rolling and feeding. A roll may seem like something simple at first, but the rolls must be flat, straight & fast. Identify X.

5.X has never acted as a villain and has never used the "F" word in his movies. At the age of 17, X worked as a stuntman in the Bruce Lee films Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon under the stage name Chen Yuen Long. (Sitter!!! But a very famous photo!!!)


6. Identify the personality.


7. The only one connect in this quiz :P (Sharan!! You already know the answer and so you are not allowed to attempt this question)







8. Gunter's Chain is a measuring device used for accurate land survey by triangulation. It consists of a chain formed of 100 long wire links, with brass tags along the chain for intermediate
measurement. One of its lasting legacies is as a very well-known length. Of what?

9. X was a very famous personalty. His friend Y is also a very famous personality. Once when X went to Y's house, Y offered X something to eat. What Y offered was something very very well know to X. Y then casually asked X "How is the Z?". Y answered that it was very good and that it was even better than his product. X smiles and tells him that what he gave him was infact his own product but the only difference was that he had heated it in a microwave oven and given it. This idea was used by X to increase the popularity of Z. What is X,Y and Z? (The question might be confusing but the answer is a total sitter!!!)

10. I debuted for Madras University under the captaincy of Krishnamachari Srikanth. I have rubbed shoulders with Mohammad Azharuddin and Ravi Shastri. I am a leg spinner. But suddenly i totally lost my action and I stopped playing the game altogther. Now I am known in Tamil Nadu as a full fletched comedian. Who am I?
