Right once again

Amul.

They sponsored the NZ cricket team in the 2017 Champions Trophy.

Started the White revolution and made India a milk surplus nation from a milk deficit nation in the matter of 8-10 years.

 

PS: I agree with you assessment of Ezekiel. he *was* neither here nor there. Very apt. There must have been an identity crisis of sorts seeing all his relatives migrate. His work highlighted this schism.

Q10

 

What connects the following?

1. Bunburying

2. To lose one parent, maybe regarded as a misfortune. To lose both looks like carelessness.

3. I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.

Spot on!

Haven't seen a wittier playwright. Haven't seen/read a funnier play.

There was a book written on him a few years ago, I forget which one, that focused mostly on his homosexuality and his gay associates. It reads like they were all hooking up - aristos and sailors, dukes and dons - across half the boudoirs of London.

 

Sorry for disillusioning you - definitely don't read that book!

 

Edit again:  This one IIRC https://www.amazon.in/Secret-Life-Oscar-Wilde-Biography/dp/0465044387
