How Well Do You Know Your Potter?

Here is a set of questions for all Potter fans worth their salt. Enjoy maadi

#1 Of what use was Albus Dumbledore's silver cigarette lighter- the Put-Outer?

#2 With whom does Nymphadora Tonks fall in love with?

#3 Who headed Hogwarts before Albus Dumblebore?

#4 What is the family owl of Weasleys called?

#5 What is the Wronski Feint tactic?

#6 Where does Narcissa Malfoy take Draco to shop for robes, when she finds that Hermione also shops at Madam Malkin’s?

#7 What or Who is Ripper?

#8 How does one tame the book that bites?

#9 Who is the other unregistered Animagus apart from Moony, Padfoot, Prongs and Wormtail?

#10 Who said this? – "Never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps its brain."

If you have answered them all then it would surely be fun to speculate with you on Dumbledore's "Gleam of Triumph" or the strange connection between Crookshanks and Sirius or what was it that Snape had done on Dumbledores orders, the night that Voldemort had returned?

Why boredom must be a necessary part of childhood

"I am bored....I AM BORED...." - And that is a sentence most often used by children and one that terrorizes almost all parents. Come summer and every parent, working or non-working, draw a big face, sighing how hard their lives are going to turn. I am not judging anyone for I find myself on the very same boat. My son wakes by 7:00 a.m and by 9:30 he has done painting, played with his play-doh, blocks and lego set are scattered, the toy train-set has been assembled, played with and now thrown in disarray. He promptly comes to me saying, "I am bored!". And I watch in dismay thinking my morning has just started! The maids are yet to come, breakfast has just been made, the kitchen counter has to be cleared, laundry is stacking and am yet to enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee. Add siblings into the picture and you can be assured of further chaos, screams and squabbles. Screaming - mostly yours. Most parents find a quick and easy solution to this - Summer Camps. Pack ...

Malayalam vs Tamil Cinema

Having been homebound for sometime now and with enough clutter in the TV channels,watching movies suddenly has became very appealing. But I have to confess that am no longer in the rampant watch-any-movie age where I could digest anything from a Saajan to a Hero No 1 but clearly not also yet there to enjoy a Satyajit Ray or Pedro Almodvar movie.Anyways its regional cinema that I am talking here. All this movie watching started with me giving company to my mom and she restricts her staple of movies to only Tamil and Malayalam films. After a point of time comparison was just bound to follow... Best things first - Malayalam films are quite a revelation. From being funny,melancholic, enchanting, tragic, uplifting to plainly being entertaining the range and depth of malayalam films has simply awed me. And am not even talking here of the well-known, superhit mad capers of Mohanlal or Mamooty that the outside world knows of. Let me confess I dont even understand the language completely....

We Are T20 World Champions!! ....really?

Am overjoyed and as happy as every other cricket loving Indian at India winning the T20 worldcup. It was a nail biting finish and I whooped in joy as the tricolour was paraded proudly around the ground..but all the same it seemed too good to be true. A creepy thought passed my mind - Is this all true or is it part of an elaborate scripted show put up for our benefit? It was like a bad thought or dream that nobody wants to think about but it keeps recurring. Maybe I am just going bonkers. Voice in my head - heck, isn't it too much of a coincidence that the final would have to be between India & Pakistan?...Especially after the world cup debacle, cricket took the biggest beating ever in its Indian history. It was almost on the verge of dying a slow death, sponsors pulling out support , public support was lost. Me - What the hell, it was a great game. Played in front of millions. Voice in my head - Forgot the earlier match fixing tales?. After the world cup fiasco the very foun...
