2, The Penrose triangle[see pic below], also known as the tribar, is an impossible object. It was first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934. The mathematician Roger Penrose independently devised and popularised it in the 1950s, describing it as "impossibility in its purest form". It is featured prominently in the works of artist M.C. Escher, whose earlier depictions of impossible objects partly inspired it.

New quiz on the blog

"Predicting tmrws quiz today" QUIZ:

Hai makkals,tomorrow is the general quiz at Krishnammal arts college and following is my "net-pages- gazing" predictions on what might b asked in the "Woman achievers" round in tmrs quiz.Enough said,lets move on....

1,One of the most famous photos in the colums of google images,id this woman who sucessfully fought "for a front row seat" in a U.S. bus and sucessfully got it too.These historians,they never document our equally significant childhood tantrums for a window seat...

2,Id the woman blw[do watch her video too]

The intro for this woman in TED is as follows:
"X,dubbed by her biographer as "the woman who redefined man," has changed our perceptions of primates, people, and the connection between the two. Over the past 45 years, X herself has also evolved -- from steadfast scientist to passionate conservationist and humanitarian."

3,Every International day has its own story for being chosen so.For example,the World Book and Copyright Day is celebrated on 23 april date because the date is also the anniversary of the birth and death of William Shakespeare.
But my qstn is whose birthday{may 8} is celebrated as “Women’s Day”?and look how she smies for u blo.

This is 1 of her poems:

Cradle Song;

From groves of spice,

O'er fields of rice,

Athwart the lotus-stream,

I bring for you,

Aglint with dew,

A little lovely dream.

Sweet, shut your eyes,

The wild fire-flies

Dance through the fairy neem;

From the poppy-bole

For you I stole

A little lovely dream.

Dear eyes, good night,

In golden light

The stars around you gleam;

On you I Press

With soft caress

A little lovely dream.

4.Just like i found out that Sidney sheldon,Sujatha and Pushpa thangathurai{famous tamil writers} arent actually female,i found that this famous author isnt male eventhough she has a misleading name...
P.S.:Unable to finish the tome of her book in one sitting,i downloaded the movie and found myself on screen.{read this full stop as asterisk mark as my ast. buton is on strike}

5,Miracle worker of many,she is here bcoz she "lit up the darkness of the deaf".

6.A very arbit,unrelated clue for this poetic lady:THINK BABA song.

A very pro-no non sense-clue:In 1993, she recited her poem, "On the Pulse of Morning" at President Bill Clinton's inauguration, the first poet to do so since Robert Frost at John F. Kennedy's inauguration in 1961.[

7, O MARIA:

She is yet another example of a "very famous name but not so recognised face".I can bet that u wld hav heard her "German" name atleast once in ur life.her first name is Maria and if u cant guess her surname,u would be doing one of those "O shit" expressions seen ubiquitously in quizzing circles.Enough "clues" in pic.

8,If u havent cn this pic,chances of u answering it is as remote as Dravid scoring the fastest test century against the aussies-{Erroneously credited woman mathematician}.

9,Indians are everywhere and id this "Ocean girl" and "interactive software programmer."

10, The qstn is not whether u know Palak Muchhal,the qstn is whether u can do like her?Wiki says and i quote

"So far, by their more than 300 stage shows, Palak and her younger brother Palaash has raised 12 million rupees which helped to save life of 234 childrens. People who need financial help for treatment of Cardiac surgery of their childrens register request through Palak Heart Foundation. Currently there are more than 400 child heartpatients on waiting list. [6] . Palak raised around one million rupees for 2001 Gujarat earthquake victims. Palak is also helping 39 childrens of sex workers from Nagpur. She has raised funds and built a building for these childrens to stay. She also raised funds for renovation of Indore Palace. She has also performed stage shows in London, Belgium, Dubai, Bangkok, Pakistan.[7][8] Palak's help is not confined to Indian childrens only. She also offered help for 2 year old Pakistani child Fatima Noor who has hole in heart."
