An Idea Can Change Your Contest! ;-) – actually all these days I was planning & postponing a completely photo-identification contest. But something that happened couple of days back, made me realize something profound & from there came an idea of changing the contest. The realization was that an aam aadmi is also a aam cow (or ox as the case may be!) in some way. So I combined ‘The idea’ & photo identification to make this Aam Aadmi’s Great Minds Contest 6 ;-). Incidentally the contest idea and photos attached are linked in some way! This is clue no 1, but more clues below will shed more light.
Why Aam Aadmi is also an Aam cow (or ox!) – Before sleeping I opened my Bible to read a few lines. Though I quickly read thru a whole paragraph but didn’t understand much. So after closing the book, I leaned back on the pillow & started pondering over it. I re-called what I just read and began chewing over it. Now slowly I began to get the meanings. That’s when someone from inside of me said “you are being a cow” – you read thru it fast ( just like the cow eat all stuff in a hurry) & then took it back to ruminate over it ( like the cow ruminates!) and now you find it digestible! ;-) I only wished I was a holy cow ;-). In this process of pondering over what I read in Bible, came the idea of the contest, as I noted 2 special words there! ;-)
The Contest – has 2 parts. First is identifying the 2 words I am referring to. Second is identifying the picture ie the given picture is only a part of a larger picture, you have to tell what the item is or what is the larger pic, of which this is a part! A similar item was in an earlier contest! ;-)
Clues for the ‘Idea’ question – 1) these two words are opposite of each other.
2) The words have 5 and 8 letters respectively in English.
3) The 5 letter word, in its Indian language versions is a popular male name!
4) The above Indian name is such that, it can be a name as well as abstract. Example Anubhav can be a male name, but at the same can be abstract when it’s taken in its meaning as ‘experience’!
5) The words are also used in literature, philosophy to portray contradicting situations.
6) The 5 letter word is also a favorite of the science students as they get to study a lot about him ( as a fundamental topic in science)
7) Rarely do they both share the same frame. If one is around the other is not found nearby.
8) The 5 letter one on arrival chases away the 8 letter one. Where 5 lettered one is already there, the 8 lettered doesn’t arrive at all.
9) Generally clue 7, 8 are true, but I have managed to take a photo of them together. Though I was focusing on the 5 letter guy, the 8 letter guy in background was also captured on camera! That pic is in this album!!
10) We all know one song/lyrics where a line mentions them together.
Clue for the Photo – The attached pics are close up of a portion in a larger pic. The item in pic has a relationship with the above 2 words!! ;-)
How to answer – you need to send your answer for the 2 words and ur guess on the object captured, by m2m preferably (to avoid other getting ‘inspired’ by your answers) or you can reply as a comment.
Deadline – The contest is open till Monday, 8 feb. (To accommodate late comers and my own long weekend!)
Prizes– 1) name & fame – I will declare the winners as Great Minds for one full week on my MS status message2) If anyone gets all correct then 1000MS points as prize, else suitably divided prizes & consolation prizes.
Best wishes, now you know its not easy to be a great mind !! ;-) .. Get your 'thinking caps' on ( if you dont have one, buy, borrow, or steal !!) and try.. you have 6 days time! ;-)
clue 11 - One of the words is alredy in this DP !! ;-)
p.s: thanks to nishant for making me hurry up on this & also I welcome the 3 winners of his contest into this quarterfinals, along with other aam janta ;-)
