Yet Another Connect Connect

So after a whopping response to my last post, I come back with another connect question. In all, I received one reply and thankfully, that turned out be absolutely correct. And this came from one of the best quizzers in the city of Hyderabad and may I add, in the country itself – Priyambad Pattanayak. WTG Patt! The connection is the legendary band, Boney M, which I was listening to all day before setting the question. The first pic shows the female American outlaw, Kate “Ma” Barker (inspiration for the song “Ma Baker”), then Gregory Rasputin (song “Rasputin”), Andy Warhol (song “Painter Man”) and finally city of Babylon (song “Rivers of Babylon”). The picture of Malaika Khan Arora was meant to be a lateral clue of sorts (song “Malaika”).

Now coming to today’s question – Connect these pics to one person (full explanation would be nice). And given the genius of this individual, I could never come up with an exhaustive list of connections related to him/her.

Cheers,

Paulie

PS – You might be wondering, “What’s with this ‘Yet Another <some_word> <some_word>’ title thingie?”. Well, this comes from my fascination for the name of the Yacc parser in Unix.

Back!

Spurred by good friend Rajorshi’s new found love, I thought I should update this dying blog a bit. And what easier way to do it than to post a simple quiz question which in turn is inspired by what I was doing just before composing the question . Really, hosting quiz blogs is some fun — firstly, it’s fun to compose questions, especially the visual kinds with involved, tricky connections. Then it encourages participation by people which means more comments, more blog hits, more popularity. And that serves as motivation to keep the blog updated regularly.

No need of any creative writing here which involves, firstly, a great amount of thinking on what to write. Then when you finally get the topic and get down to composing, it involves a lot of CTL-Zs (new age form of the old practice of crumpling a sheet of paper and dunking it into the waste basket after not so satisfactory scribbling). Then a lot of revising which also includes changing the alignment, font, colour etc. a gazillion times till you get bored with it and correcting teh inivetable typos. And then, after all that, you finally muster the courage to post it and keep refreshing the page every hour the next 48 hours to see if someone has commented and praised your literary skills.

Nah, not my glass of Horlicks. Am quite happy with googling a few images, slapping them onto one jpeg file through MS Paint, constructing a shady connect question out of them, and posting it here. So here it goes:-

The pics in the first pic are some of the subjects of this particular “entity”’s creation. Identify each of them and tell me whose subjects they were. For full points, get me the names of all the respective creations. The lady in the separate pic is also one such subject, but in a lateral sense.

And before you start finding your old dusted thinking cap, let me assure you that this is quite an easy question if you can identify a few of them and if you are aware of that “creator’s” works — as many of us and from our previous generations would be.

So long,

The Yabber
