1. Born as Krishna X to a Kenyan born Muslim physician of Indian Gujarati descent, Krishna would later rise to fame playing another gujarati.  As an aspiring actor he auditioned for the play "A Midsummer night's Dream" using his birth name Krishna X, he was not chosen to play the role. On the advice of his father he then used an anglicized version name to apply to the same role for which he was then accepted. He went on to become a very accomplished actor, the only one to win all the four biggest awards Oscar, Golden Globes, Bafta and Screen Actors Guild Awards. How do we know him better? (Yeah this one is googlable damnit)

2.  Connect:

3.  One of the first side scrolling game's released for the Computer platform in 1989 it featured some of the very finest graphics of its day. The excellent graphics were achieved since the author of the game chose to use rotoscoping to animate most of the game's characters rather than using traditional animation methods.  The lead character of the game was played by the authors brother (for the rotoscoping film bits). This game shot its author to fame and also pioneered rotoscoping for video games.

4. Connect (This is not an exhaustive list):


and the Stage 2 is?

People who got #4 right:

1. Ani - got 2, 3, and 4 with a little bit of prodding from me and yes he got the stage 2 spot on

2. Tho - got 2 right 3 right and 4 wrong but used the wrong 4th and right 2nd to get the right stage 2.

3. But Sagar was the only one to get all 4Q's and the stage 2 right, with some help from the omnipotent one(google) by his own admission

Answers to #4

1. Plastic Ono Band

That was the name of the Album released by Yoko Ono and John Lennon. Ono's album contained tracks different from Lennon's version though both albums were named the same. The Plastic Ono  Band is also the name of a Supergroup that Lennon created with Ono and Clapton and a few others.

2. Dominos

Its generic gaming device similar to dice that can be used for a variety of games

3. Cream

4. Harrison originally wrote "Something" for his wife Pattie Boyd. Eric Clapton who was Harrison's close friend was in Love with Boyd and wrote Layla for her after he read Layla and Majnoon. Wonderful tonight is also a song Clapton wrote about Boyd when he saw her getting ready before they were leaving for a party.

Stage 2:

Eric Clapton

Clapton was a guitarist in all these three bands; "The Plastic Ono Band",  "Derek and the Dominos" and "Cream". And finally Pattie Boyd left Harrison and married Clapton.

So there ye go...
