8. Squash Player
9. I guess it might be England
10. Magic or Illusion
4. Don't know.
6. Canada, I think. Burj Khalifa, Dubai is the tallest building. So, confusion reigns.
Regarding 9. I think it was Sri Lanka's win over India. I'm not sure though. And for honesty's sake I've not consulted Net ( I was itching to go for it though).
My answers tally with that of Sanket and Krishna for the rest.
Sourav ji, the answer for 6th is Dubai itself. I am sure on it. This restuarant was opened in this year only in that tallest building.
Thank you, Krishna for the confirmation.
Agreeed with Sourav da...Burj Khaifa the tallest building...
May be the Restaurant is in AUS Sydney.....
9. might be btwn Aus n Eng
Here are the answers.
1. Ramon Magsaysay Award.
2. Three persons have won all 4 civil honours. (i) Satyajit Ray, (ii) Bhimsen Joshi, (iii) Bismillah Khan.
3. Vivek Express( From Dibrugrah to Kanyakumari) covering 4286 KM in 82.30 hours.
4.Coca-Cola
5.Parental Guidance
6. Atmosphere, 1350' in the sky, 122nd floor of Burj Khalifa, Dubai as rightly said by Farheen.
7. Belgium.
8. Squash.
9. The match was played b/w Australia and England in 1938. England won the match by an innings & 579 Runs. Still a World Record. I will attach details of the match.
10. In the field of Magic & illusion this award is given. This year award was given to Mr. Gopinath Muthukad. He predicted 10 Headlines- different publication and cities- before any editor thought of them.
