Lets play desi Jay-Walking on eCharcha

[echarcha]

Okay folks, if you are in the USA then you must have seen the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I am sure many of outside USA also get this show on your local channels.

Anyway, the show has a segment called Jay-Walking. Here the host Jay Leno goes outside the studio and interviews ordinary folks. He asks them some simple questions or shows them photographs of famous people and asks them to identify the person. Many times the interviewees cannot answer the simplest of questions and the answers they give are often times funny.

So lets play a desi version here.

Q1) Here is the photograph of an Indian Cabinet Minister. Do you know who he is and what his ministry is? (Just as Jay gives hints - You use the things daily for which he is a minister)

[echarcha]

Q2) Who is this person? (Hint: You ought to know him, because his ideas and inventions most likely got you your current job)

[Sane Less]

Since you said cabinet... the first picture must be the guy who made all the cabinets in the parliament building... cabinets are something that I use everyday.

Is the second picture that of my boss... that's how I got my current job.

[AmthaLal]

Secon pic is Bush (Dubya) I guess. Because of him I lost my previous job and got the present one.:D

[Charchila]

I only know first guy's initials: AHR
I only know second guy's initials: AT

[Sane Less]

I only know first guy's initials: AHR
I only know second guy's initials: AT
Nahi yaar, woh AH Rahman nahi hai... I do not think AH Rahman is a cabinet minister... don't even think he knows how to make cabinets.

[rameshp]

I only know first guy's initials: AHR
I only know second guy's initials: AT

Amtha, smelly.. please yaar.. thoda seriously try karo.

Okay answer to Q2) - I said that you most likely got your current job because of him. And I would be right to say, given our demographics, because the photo is of the great mind Alan Turing who is considered the father of the modern computer and concept of algorithms.

[rameshp]

Q3) Who is this Indian gentleman?(Additional points for identifying the lady in the photograph.)

[echarcha]

Bhosdekar!!

You are correct. It is Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.

I did not want to post the photo with his signature eye-glasses, but had to do it else Amtha would be fighting for Sardar Patel :p

We all were victims of his reservations policy and hated it a lot. Many of us - like me - did not want to work in a system which did not recognise merit but caste.


Anyway, here are the original photos -
Q3 - Photo 1 (http://ambedkar.org/images/movement1/target160.html), Photo2 (http://ambedkar.org/images/movement1/target179.html).

[Sane Less]

I don't think it is the same person in both pictures. I think Jay Leno is trying to make a fool of us echans:mad:

Anyway, here are the original photos -
Q3 - Photo 1 (http://ambedkar.org/images/movement1/target160.html), Photo2 (http://ambedkar.org/images/movement1/target179.html).
