1• During IPL 2009, when people were getting pissed off about nomenclature such

as “DLF Maximum” and “Citi Moment of Success”, Aadisht Khanna proposed an alternate nomenclature for two cricketing events. The nomenclature of these two events varied with the team.

• With respect to Delhi Daredevils, they were called “Rashtrapati Bhawan” and “Chandni Chowk”

• Mumbai Indians: Girgaon and Malabar Hill• Chennai Super Kings: Luz Church Road and Cathedral• For Royal Challengers Bangalore, the two events were respectively

“Basavanagudi” and “JC Nagar” • What were Basavanagudi and JC Nagar supposed to represent according to

Aadisht? (note that all the above are ordered pairs)

• (now that both North and South Bangalore have been “covered” by this question, I can dispense with quotas and ask whatever questions I want)

• He ordered a coffee and sipped at it while continuing to make rambling comments. There were things about him that didn’t quite add up, I thought. He had grown up in Bangalore, but he had never been to ____ . He looked around at the other customers uneasily, a middle-class gathering of men and women, some of them poets and journalists, whose conversation rang an easy, animated tone, interrupted by their banter with the uniformed waiters. Then there was the fact that Kartik was in many ways a member of the elite.
