Soap mail?

These images of Gmail-branded soap have been circulating around over the past couple of months and eventually ended up on a Wired Blog along with many others. They have been dismissed as either a clever Photoshop job or an art project.


Put Fundae!


Good try by Nikhil bhaiya.
Sijut,ayesha and interstellaroverdrive takes away the honours! The soap apparently was an actual campaign done to promote Gmail's spam filtering might to Russian students. The connection is the Russian wordplay on the soundalike slang for email and soap. The copy on package reads: "Gmail: the cleanest soap".

Easy One!



Identify this CEO of multi billion dollar firm!

Awesome try by Nikhil bhaiya(Atleast he didnt go for ceo of Wonderbra) ;P.
Sijut gets it right! He is indeed Richard K.Templeton,CEO of Texas Instruments!

Wash away!

In 1940s Swiss medical researchers seeking ways to aid the burn victims of Second World War, found a medical derivative that could actually improve the health and elasticity of hair. They called the discovery as what?

Great guess by Nikhil bhaiya! It is Panthalene,which is now known as Pantene.

A True Champion!!!

X entered in Cleopatra style, carried aloft in a chair held by four bare-chested muscle men dressed in the garb of ancient slaves. Y followed in a rickshaw drawn by a bevy of scantily-clad models. Y presented X with a giant lollypop and X gave Y a piglet named. What Occasion,Name X and Y.




Good guess by Shrey,but Vineet takes away the honors.
X is Billie Jean King
Y is Bobby Riggs
Occasion:Battle of the Sexes.

Axed!!


Identify this Soldier..And the incident!


Aries1987(Ashish) gets it perfect.It was linked directly to the previous post.He was an American Soldier. Capt. Arthur Bonifas. He was killed using an axe in the "AXE MURDER ACCIDENT" following which the BRIDGE OF NO RETURN was no more used!


Bridge Naming!!!


The name X originates from the fact that prisoners were given the choice to remain in the country of their captivity or cross over to the other country. But if they chose to cross the bridge, they would never be allowed to return.

Name X and it connects which 2 countries.



Vineet gets it right again.
The Bridge is "Bridge of No Return" connects south and north korea.

Beware kids!!!!

The first signs of an X are:

  1. Rise in surface pressure over the Indian Ocean,Indonesia, and Australia.
  2. Fall in air pressure over Tahiti and the rest of the central and eastern
  3. Trade Winds in the south Pacific weaken or head east
  4. Warm air rises near , causing rain in the northern Peruvian deserts
  5. Warm water spreads from the west Pacific and the Indian Ocean to the east Pacific. It takes the rain with it, causing extensive drought in the western Pacific and rainfall in the normally dry eastern Pacific
It happens at irregular intervals of 2–7 years and lasts nine months to two years.
The Strong-arms Dude below is a huge hint.
Id "X"













Kaushik,Shrey,Sijut and Vineet(again) get it right.
X is El Nino and the guy is Hanley Ramirez who is known by nick name of El Nino.

Solve for X!!

He was the third President Tata Steel Union, which was formed in 1920. During those days it was known as The Labour Association.In his avatar of a trade union leader, X was responsible for forcing the Tata Steel management to implement maternity benefit to their employees.On his call, Tata steel had also witnessed first and last ever strike by the workers in 1928. Bowing to the just demands of workers, Tata Steel management and X as President of the workers union signed the historic agreement which gave matenity benefits to the workers. Who is being referred to here as X?
