viewed Vevo video within 24 hours of its release. It also debuted at #1 on
Billboard Hot 100, first female artist to do so since Adele in 2015.
 Rolling Stone commented that the song is “surprisingly gracious, a balm and a

 Song and the artist?

 This 1995 bestseller, set in 1990s Calcutta and New York at some unspecified
time in the future, is a thriller that dramatizes the adventures of apparently false
people who are brought together by a mysterious turn of events. This was
loosely based on the first Nobel laureate born in India, and won the Arthur C.
Clarke Award in 1997.
 The authorfamously withdrew another of his novel from consideration for the

 While writing ‘A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right’, in
the introduction, the writer wrote, “Religious suffering is, at one and the same
time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering.
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and
the soul of soulless conditions. ________________”
 Though the paragraph in its entirety makes one believe that the writer was
making a structural functionalism argument about religion, only the last
sentence, taken out of context by people, provided a totally different meaning,
which became an integral part of the writer’s philosophy.
 What thus resulted?
Who said I said

Religion is the opiate of the masses/ opium of the people – Marx

 Born in 1913 in Budapest, Hungary, this artist
traveled throughout her life to various countries
including Turkey, France, and India, deriving
heavily from their art styles and cultures. Her
depiction of the plight of women has made her
art a beacon for women.

expelled from school to having multiple affairs
and abortions – she died at the age of 28, days
before the opening of her first major solo show.
 Who, whose self-portrait on the right was sold
for 1.8M pounds?
The immortal life

Amrita Sher-Gil

 5 written questions based on famous book covers/album covers/movie posters
 +10 for every correct answer without stake. +15/-5 for answers with stake.
Round 3: Visuals, beach!

 “I said to the photographer, ‘Let’s do it naked.’ But he thought that would be
weird, so I wore my swim shorts,” Spencer Elden told The New York Post, while
he recreated the photograph in 2016 for its 25 year anniversary. “Sooner or later,
I want to create a print of a real-deal re-enactment shot, completely naked.”
 “I always say, ‘My penis has changed, do you want to see it?’,” he told CNN in
2011. In another interview, Elden tells the Post “it’s cool but weird to be part of
something so important that I don’t even remember.”
 What is he talking about?
1) Mind NSFW much?

 Apart from the 50+ world famous personalities already present, a few more
names were suggested.
 X was included “just to be a naughty boy”. Sir Peter Blake, who was responsible
for the final work, told The Independent that the X actually featured there but
got obscured by the protagonists themselves.
 Y, diametrically opposite to X (or that the world wants you to believe), was also
considered, but the producers didn’t agree. “Take Y out. We need the ___
market. If we show Y standing around with Sonny Liston and Diana Dors, they’ll
never forgive us in ___,” he said.
 X and Y please. What’s being talked about?
2) The God of cameo, or is it?

 The cover was designed by legendary graphic artist Neil Fujita. Fujita created
the typeface used for the title as well, and it has come to be known as “The ___
font.”
 The logo, however, has multiple interpretations to it. While some people
interpret it as a Catholic priest baptising a child holding a cross over their body,
the obvious interpretation is clearly stated in one of the ending scenes where
the main character tells the next-in-line, “I never wanted this for you. I work my
whole life — I don’t apologize — to take care of my family, and I refused to be a
fool, dancing on the string held by all those big shots. I don’t apologize — that’s
my life — but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the
one to hold the strings.”
 What?
3) The master of everything

 Inspired by Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam”, this John Alvin poster
makes a direct reference to the “spark of life.” Whereas, the fingers of God and
Adam don’t quite touch in the original work – a detail specifically intended to
create visual tension – the fingers of the titular character and the other main
character actually depict the “spark” in the cover. The religious parallels of life,
death, and resurrection, are also relevant to the film.
 Which iconic poster?
4) The touch of life

 “In Voluptas Mors” (“Voluptuous Death”), is probably one of the most complex
portraits by Philippe Halsman. The image depicts Salvador Dalí posing beside a
giant ‘skull’, a tableau vivant (or “living picture”) comprising of seven nude
female models in beautiful mind blogging poses.
 The next slide shows behind-the-scene images of the photograph.
 Which iconic cover/poster was the photograph recreated in?
5) Is death fun?

military jackets, glittering armbands, and rhinestone-encrusted socks.
 However, in 1992, he and his partner Dennis Tompkins designed something

Evening Post magazine over nearly five decades, this famous artist and illustrator
extensively used staged photographs for his paintings. He would piece together
his desired scene using carefully selected props and locations, then instruct a

major period of American history.

Norman Rockwell, The Problem We All Live With

 In January 1845, X came out in The New York Mirror. Around the country, it
was reprinted, reviewed, and otherwise immortalized. A peculiar sign of its wide
influence is the number of parodies and imitations it has given rise to, from “The
Gazelle” to “The Polecat”. As the story goes, Abraham Lincoln stumbled upon
“The Polecat” first, read and found it so hilarious that he decided to look up the
original work.
 Y was soon so recognizable because of X that children followed him in the
street imitating the titular character. Then he’d turn around and say, “Z!” and
they would run away, shrieking.

name during partition for her advocacy of feminism and portrayal of sex and
lesbianism, this production again brought the writings of X into limelight.

Games) in a 2018 biopic of another famous personality Y, X’s close friend for
obvious reasons and similarity of characters.
 Identify X and Y.
Kiske Naam?

 The Play: Ismat Apa Ke Naam
Ismat Chughtai, Saadat Hasan Manto

 Police suspected Pablo Picasso of the crime, after Joseph Pieret pointed them
out to his ‘painter-friend’s direction. While Apollinaire was questioned first, he
apparently again gave up Picasso and Pieret in turn. In the trial, however, the
judge threw the case because of contradicting testimony.
 It was only after two years, when the real perpetrator Vincenzo Peruggia
confessed to the crime, did Picasso breathe a sigh of relief.
 What was the hullabaloo all about?
A smile of relief

 Bappi Lahiri said in an interview with Filmfare in 2012: “His voice is touched by
God. After Kishoreda, he was another singer who brought out the best in me. He
is a yogi, a mystic who lives for music. He takes your tunes to another level.”
 Who?
Record-breaker

 X, established in 1889, is perhaps the most famous French cabaret of all time,

 In Dec 1971, a Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention concert was held in
the Montreux Casino's theatre in Switzerland. At the beginning of Don Preston's
synthesizer solo on "King Kong", the place suddenly caught fire when somebody
in the audience fired a flare gun toward the rattan covered ceiling. Another
band, who was at the casino at the same time to record an album, saw the
smoke from the fire spreading over Lake Geneva from the burning casino from
their hotel.
 What resulted?
Talk about inspiration

Smoke on the Water – Deep Purple

 “…There's actually a perfectly logical, scientific reason behind this behavior.
Soldiers in real wars behave in exactly the same way. In one war-time study, a
Brigadier General found that "only 15 to 20 [percent] would take any part with
their weapons."Eighty percent of the soldiers would not fire, due to nothing
more than their innate desire to not take a human life…
 …they have no problem gunning down rebels in uniform. All identical, all no
longer "people," just enemies… But later… (when they) see a pretty young girl,
and a naive farmboy … Hell, they don't want to look like a coward or nothin', so
they have to take the shot -- but maybe this time (just this once) the shot goes a
little wide. We all make mistakes, right?”
 Excerpt from an article from Cracked.com, psychologically trying to explain
which much discussed phenomenon in entertainment?
Y U do dis?

 Especially while shooting at the protagonists of the series
Why is stormtroopers’ aim so bad?

 The modern version of the nursery rhyme uses the word “Indians”, usually
referring to native Americans. The 1868 song adaption by Septimus Winner used
the word “Injuns”. The 1869 Frank J Green song adaptation first used the word
“___” instead. Because of the use of the racist words, modern versions for
children often use "soldier boys" or "teddy bears" as the objects of the rhyme.
 This nursery rhyme X was also the title of one of the bestselling novels of all
time (loosely based on the rhyme itself), which was later retitled to Y, the last
line of the same rhyme.
 X and Y?
Country boys and soldier boys

Ten Little Niggers, And Then There Were None

 In 19th century Bharatnatyam was performed only at temples by devadasis. In
1910, the British banned temple dancing in the name of social reform. A few
years later, when X met and travelled with the famous Russian ballerina Anna
Pavlova, their friendship grew, and X started learning dance from Anna’s
dancers. At the behest of Anna, X turned her attention to Bharatnatyam (and
other traditional dance forms), which had fallen to disrepute. She decided to
expand it out of Hindu temples and revive it as a mainstream dance, with her
own modifications to the dance form.
 What resulted? Identify X.

Love for the people (and something else)

Stan Lee cameo, Teens Titans Go! is a DC Comics production

 Never one to mince words, this famous writer had often been scathing not
only against his peers but also against the place he belonged to. He had been
called a racist by Derek Walcott, as the latter who had initially dedicated poems
to him wrote, “You spit on your people/ your people applaud”. He had been
accused of withholding Western prejudices, as he compared the effect of Islam
on the world to colonialism, and had a public fall out with author Paul Theroux.
 Which Booker winning author? Which famous novel did he write, the title
character based on his father Seeparsad?
House of controversies

Sir V S Naipaul, A House for Mr. Biswas
