Daily 63 - What a rut

Special question for the moment. What/who seems to be the unlikely connect?














A momentary tribute question. The answer is Lalit Kumar Modi, as of now the ex-chairman and commissioner of the IPL. He is on the board of Godfrey Phillips India, and was the channel distributor to ESPN and FTv in India through his family group Modi Entertainment Network. (MEN)

Daily 62 - Biz basics again!

Connect











Answer: The connect was 20th Century FOX pictures, which is owned by Newscorp ( the first logo) which in turn is owned by media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. My Name is Khan was distributed globally by 20th Century FOX. Vinay googles up the right answer yet again!

Daily 61 - All in all'u

Where in India would you be if you got a glimpse of all these ? (It's got a Guinness record attached to it FYI)















Golti power truly signified. KD, Sandheep and Vinay score rightly. Ramoji film city near Hyderabad.

Daily 60 - Sluurrp !

Sitter for the day. This painting shows a principal city on the Red Sea coast in 1692, which was the major marketplace for a particular commodity from the 15th century until the 17th century. Today the English language gained the word (same as the city's), for such combinations of the commodity itself.

Hint: The commodity is edible.










Amshuman, Vinay and Sandheep get their taste oriented in the right direction. Mocha it is.
