Trivia - Part 4

Sunday trivia (Target 1800h).

If I took the shortform of 1995 from AJJ, get down at the third possible junction, choose T instead of S, board the astrologically 'star' studded express probably hauled by direct current engine, unmixed, which will be the fourth city that I will encounter? How?

-Ara.

Answer: Coimbatore (95, WJR, KPD, JTJ, TPT, 66'27', SA, ED, TUP and CBE)

(fairly simple) Weekend trivia:

'Why' should we lose waist fat quickly at the famous 'fitness centre'? If I were to 'give money' before the 'big drink', see 'herds grazing in the meadows', meet the 'lotus-eyed-lady', say 'cha' after eating betel nut and end up having 'peach' flavoured imported' tea - what section did I travel? Total points = 1 section + 7 stations = 8.

Answer:

MRTS - VLCY, Taramani, Perungudi, Mandaiveli, Mundagakanniamman Koil, Chepauk, Beach.

Trivia - part 3

If a person starts his journey with first three steps from Vejendla, shoot vegetarian cranes along with the old lady (of film 'Muthu'), pays Wholesale Tax to fry chicken in charcoal and return to starting point, what would be the shape if we mark his travel in a map? 4+1=5 pts.




Answer: Rhombus (VEJ, KOK, WST, BBQ)

There was a midnight Vigilance raid in 73 on Friday :) surprisingly my name was not in the 'suspected' list that they had for verifying. All others in my bay were checked (incl one i-ticket, and he was a fake traveller!), despite me being e-ticket+male+single+youth age :) the vigilance TTE didn't even bother! Finally we broke ice and spoke as he came again this side. He turned out to be a very close friend of a person who used to work in our HR team :P

Trivia - part 2

1. Which Subbulakshmi Express passes through a jungle with a pond, reading fatty non-milk panneer tabloid with a starting spelling mistake, seeing dumb peacocks, red banks, a hard rock cafe that sells fried chicken-dogs, a town with closed doors, a town with three 'mines' and a serpentine temple to reach the virgin lady?



Answer: 2633 Kanniyakumari Exp (MS, CTM, TZD, MTL, SNDI, KFC, SRT, NNN, NCJ, CAPE).

2. This train has the name of a district. It starts from doordarshan kendra, passes through mass killings, a tank with raw fruit town, meeting somewhat-sexy actress whose cupid husband wears arrow shirts and ends up his journey at a coastal town?


Answer: Venad Express (Wayanad, TVC, QLN, KYM, TCR, SRR)


3. If I were to take a Mysore's favourite train that does not go to Mysore, get down at last, cross over to meet an ancient magician taking the holy bath in the Northern town, where am I? And how did I go there?


Answer: 2639 Brindavan Exp, 2725 Siddhaganga Exp (MAS-SBC-UBL).

4. If I board an originating train after taking a bottle of whisky, see a road that leads to water-less summer mirage, meet a drunkard named B. Shastri, drench my legs in Marina, pass through paddy fields, a town that welcomes you, an LPG city that makes milk, see a five finger distance, burning them in raw fire to meet thousand Imams, what train am I in?

Answer: 2651 TN Sampark Kranti Exp (MDU, KQN, LLI, MSB, NLR, KMM, BPL, JHS, AGC, NZM).
