Sabi, you have definitely made me realize the fact that I have a very poor memory. But 20 years is too long a time, isn't it? Let me see how bad it is anyways!!!!
Now for the answers....
1) I know we used to love hearing it in full blast then. But no idea as to what it was.
2) Was it "The Indian Express"?
3) It’s ice-cream soda for sure coz I used to love it.
4) I think it was 1 rupee
5) I did some cheating here. I went through our class 7 photo. But ironically, I see the slant both ways. Some has it from right to left while some has it from left to right. Therefore, I myself am confused.
6) I think it was Panorama
7) I remember that we had to study 3 books...13 European countries, Vyazhavatta Smaranakal and the 3rd one.....hmmmm. Now which one is Uroob's ????
8) I swear I remember that we had skipped one chapter.
9) O.P.Sinhal.
10) Basket ball for sure. Now what was the other one.....I do remember studying something about the net. So it got to Volleyball or long tennis or badminton.
My goodness! I indeed have a very poor memory.
To be honest Sabi, I've been avoiding this great blog that u and arthy have created, coz its too nostalgic. So though I check it out almost everyday, didnt wanna leave comments. But the quiz is toooooo tempting and dont mind makin a fool of myself. Quiz and Me!!! Hmmm. :)
1) I think the prayer was Father we thank thee,,,and the afternoon prayer was Guardian angel something and the eve was Jesus tender somethin....Cld be wrong, coz i was in St. Joseph as well...but heart was in MCC.
2) Definitely "The Indian Express"....Doubt it cld have been "The Hindu". LOL.
3) No idea,,,
4) Me thinks 1 rupee too.
5) Dont remember...
Luckily I have an excuse like always for all the next q's related to academics and the one I am gonna use here is that I didnt do my high scholl there. he he he.
So basically, I think I might have the ones on the prayer right,,,coz i feel somehow prayers have always helped me...esp durin exams when I wldnt have studied anything!!! LOL. So maybe I remember right,,,if not i remember those prayers from somewhere. :)
And now I'm wondering why did I wanna take this quiz...coz i answered questions not asked!!! lol.
Hey! I just remembered. The 3rd book we learned in Malayalam was Mindapennu. Now I got all the 3. But which one was Uroob's????
