Answers
1. The late Suresh Mullick, Piyush Pandey, Kailash Surendranath and Louis Banks put together our un-official national song "Mile Sur mera tumahara" which was recomposed again this year as "Phir Mile sur mera tumhara". Too much Bollywood in the 2nd one as opposed to real artistes.

2.Doubting Thomas

3. Nina (Little Girl), Pinta(the painted) and Santa Maria were the three ships Columbus used to set sail when discovering America.

4. The release of the iPad by Steve Jobs. Quoting the Wall Street journal " Last time there was a mention of a tablet, the only thing that struck our minds was the Ten Commandments"

5. Baristas

6. Spaghetti - meaning ball of yarn, Lasagna - cooking pot, Penne - quill pen, Farfalle- A butterfly, Fusili -rifle. Different varieties of pasta. And the clue attached was the first Pizza Hut branch. Check out their new pasta menu which gives you insights into these Italian delights!
