Trivial matters

Posted on May 20th, 2006 by Vijay Krishna Narayanan
Ok, here’s a bit of trivia, if you like… What connects me to Petr Cech, the Chelsea and Czech Republic goalkeeper?Tough one, eh? I’ll give you another clue… What connects me to Petr Cech and Iker Casillas (Real Madrid and Spain)? And Roger Milla too!

Enough of footie, you say? How about the movies? What do James Stewart and Cher have in common with me?

Puzzled? Can you think of a connection between great Israeli general, Moshe Dayan and yours truly? Or His Holiness the Late Mahaperiyaval of the Kanchi Mutt, Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati?

Or the great Honore de Balzac who wrote the immortal statement, “Behind every great fortune, there is a crime”… Or the proponent of utilitarianism, John Stuart Mill?

It’s the 20th of May, Sherlock!
