While I acknowledge that I am a Lapsed Quizzer, there comes a time in a man’s life when he is forced to shake that queasy (yeah, fine, pun intended) feeling out of himself by going all Powerpointy. I have been listening to some Rahman every now and then. Though I tend to stay away from his earlier catalog as much as I can, ever since that year-long sabbatical from his music. A friend and I were talking about “Aha” moments in his songs – where random back-up singers go “aha”, like in ‘Kilimanjaro’ and the title track of Parthaley Paravasam. We tried to think of other songs of a similar nature, and suddenly I found odd bits of trivia popping up in my head. So here, out, damned spot. A bunch of 20 questions that are somewhat sensible, and sometimes not. Please make sure to read the fine print (second slide), and come back here for answers in a few days.

Oh, call me an incurable pedantic, but regarding question 2, née is used for name at birth. For example Madhuri Nene née Dixit.

You the man. Filed under #TIL and updated the slide. Thank you!
Hey Satya. I stumbled upon this quiz on Slideshare today. Loved it! I’m not able to find some of the answers anywhere though. Have you shared them anywhere?
