Film and the book

From BL archives:

'Connect' a pioneering effort with a commercial success: A 1923 British committee recommended the merger of existing airline companies into one. Thus was born Imperial Airways Ltd. In 1925, it became the first airliner to screen an in-flight movie . This movie, based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s work, shares its name with the sequel of one of the most successful books of the ’90s. The book and its sequel were subsequently made into blockbuster movies. What's the title that they share?

Hey Sriram, there's a pretty nice WYSIWYG tool for creating blogs and it works with most blogging sites (incl. blogger). I used it with my wordpress blog yesterday and it works like a charm. check it out at ideas.live.com. Also check my blog at sparksengr.wordpress.com

Shonali informs me that the results of this year's attempt were no different from previous years.
As those of the Hebrew persuasion might say, "We shall meet next year in Jerusalem".

Absolutely,

Years of defeat haven't blunted our enthusiasm. Shonali's cynicsm (I will deal with that separately) won't!!

Surely, we'll be back!

on a serious note, this year was bad. derek o'brien is a good presenter but the questions were not landmark quality.

why don't u make a comeback to the team??
