Misc comments, as usual:

1. The last word, which Neela almost got, is FOWL. Maybe my description could've been better or I could've chosen WOLF instead of FOWL. BTW, peacock & peahen (lNDor) are collectively called peafowl etc.

2. If you haven't guessed it already, I am from Pune 30 (Sadashiv Peth to be precise). Pune had just a few PIN codes then - Pune 1 for 'Camp' or 'Cantonment' & Pune 2 for most of the old Peths incl Sadashiv etc. Pune 2 got split up & we suddenly became Pune 30 when I was in High School.

3. A fair way for solving puzzles would be to ask everyone to PM their answers to the person who posts the puzzle. S/he then posts the answer after one week & tells who got them right. apologies to Zoey for this time !

A simple logical puzzle:

You are at a fork in the road. One road takes you to your destination and the other doesn't, but you don't know which. There are 2 persons standing at the fork. One of them tells the truth while the other one lies. Again, you don't know who is who.

If you have to ask just one question to just one of the two persons, what will you ask to choose the right road?

Just for curiosity - one of my many relatives in Pune told me that Koregaon park area is like Malbar hill of Pune. Is that correct ? i had been to Mundhwa couple of times this year and found K-P to be very posh kind. SP and other areas are quite improved though than they used to be but not shanivar for sure. My observation about SP and shanivar may be dated 5 years back or so.

Dilip da, while saying this, you are forgetting that Punekar's favorite habit is to taunt Mumbaikars 😃😛. So Mumbaikars better be prepared with their armors since I am dying to respond to the Mumbai train post (and of course share my experience of Santa-waani (s) ) on the NYC trains. 😆

And Anni, Zoey 🤗 thanks for including me in your MaNan fanclub and sorry for not replying to your posts yesterday. Yesterday was a day off for me and I totally succumbed myself to the MaNan fever and watched 4 episodes of Nandu's b'day celebration 😳. Aur "Kaise Bataun tumhe..."❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The 2 kids have totally had me slain with their onscreen chemistry!!

Wait for my thesis until the weekend, I will be back!!😳

SW and Kimi: Arre.. no need to take my comment seriously.. I was just joking 😊 Anyone can post the solution. So that whoever wants to know it, can read. If one doesn't want, s/he can skip that post.

We can put spoiler alert at the start of the post and put only the solution in it and nothing else, may be.

Btw, I can't try this one as I already know the answer (this is a standard interview question) 😳

Watched CHYD this week. Indira's makeup was awesome, but the dialogues of the play did not impress me much. \

Also, the scene from Lovebirds went flat. But I want to go with everyone's opinion about the play and assume it'll be good 😊

I came across this wonderful translation of famous Gulzar song, Dil dhoondta hai.

Thought of sharing with everyone:

Hi Anni,

It'd be best to PM the answers to the puzzle poster so that those who see the post late get a chance of attempting the puzzle. This is because people are unlikely to start their replies with something like

********* Spoiler Alert: Puzzle Answer Ahead ****************

puzzle answer here

********* End Spoiler **************

Else posting the answers with a spoiler alert is equally good.

As to Koregaon Park, it is the preferred location of foreigners and expats and non-Maharashtrians.

I forgot to post this bait for the rest of the folks on the forum 😉😛 The MaNan song ...Kaise bataun tujhe ke dil mera kya keh raha...❤️

Not sure if this has already been fully picturized on the leads in the serial.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d630QfbYsXM

The serial makers have used such nice songs 👍🏼 and the leads have magically nailed the emotions in the song.

Even from Vidya Balan's most recent movie Hamari Adhuri kahani

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Ebfhs6pMo

(Although IMran Hashmi with VB ...)

Enjoy folks!!
