I had time to ponder on senseless questions so I did. Here is a list of them in no particular order -
1. What happened to Mandakini? What does Mandakini mean? Is it some sort of desi Martini?
2. Why are there no colored tissue rolls?
3. Why does Ganpati have a mouse riding under it?
4. Why do Chinese restaurants serve water without ice when we sit down for dinner at their establishment (in the USA where ice in everything is a birthright or even a naturalized right)?
5. Why are there no 'licit' behaviors in any newstories? Far too many are illicit so I ask.
Now that I have put these out there the readership can attempt to answer any or all of them for a grand prize.
I am still thinking about what prize befits the solution to the above mentioned. That can be another riddle.
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
My guesses for the 1 crore prize-
ReplyDeleteMandakini plays the mandolin. Colourful tissue would add too much colour to a colourless activity. Ganpati wants to prove that being small is not a deterrent to competing with a donkey. Everything melts in front of the Chinese. The last one is tougher, but,..you would not be reading the news if there were only licit behaviours..where's the fun?
As soon as Greece declares its independence from the Yuro(gue) you shall be paid in the new incranation of the Drachmas which by my estimation 1 Crore of them will equal to 10 US cents. The monies will be transferred in to an account of your choice if you proceed to fill out the online app for the same which may take up to 28 minutes of your time if you have not imbibed any spirits. If you have imbibed it may take 2 mins but may result in no award since we are sticklers for correct spelling of your mother - in - laws third cousins maiden name (if she always stayed a maiden you are automatically disqualified) as part of the applciation process.
