    Puzzle#Who is the personality
    Answer: Rudyard Kipling

    Ubique (Poem on Boer war)

    THERE is a word you often see, pronounce it as you may
    “You bike,” “you bykwee,” “ubbikwe “—alludin’ to R.A.
    It serves ’Orse, Field, an’ Garrison as motto for a crest,
    An’ when you’ve found out all it means I’ll tell you ’alf the rest.


    Ubique means the long-range Krupp be’ind the low-range ’ill—
    Ubique means you’ll pick it up an’, while you do, stand still.
    Ubique means you’ve caught the flash an’ timed it by the sound.
    Ubique means five gunners’ ’ash before you’ve loosed a round.

    Gunga Din (Poem about a Bhisti, water carrier, in India)

    You may talk o’ gin and beer
    When you’re quartered safe out ’ere,
    An’ you’re sent to penny-fights an’ Aldershot it;
    But when it comes to slaughter
    You will do your work on water,
    An’ you’ll lick the bloomin’ boots of ’im that’s got it.
    Now in Injia’s sunny clime,
    Where I used to spend my time
    A-servin’ of ’Er Majesty the Queen,
    Of all them blackfaced crew
    The finest man I knew
    Was our regimental bhisti, Gunga Din,
    He was ‘Din! Din! Din!
    ‘You limpin’ lump o’ brick-dust, Gunga Din!
    ‘Hi! Slippy hitherao
    ‘Water, get it! Panee lao,
    ‘You squidgy-nosed old idol, Gunga Din.’


    Image#3
    "The White Man's Burden" (Poem on, err, less said about the interpretation the better)

    Take up the White Man's burden, Send forth the best ye breed
    Go bind your sons to exile, to serve your captives' need;
    To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild—
    Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child.



    Image#4
    Mandalay (Poem on Burma)

    By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' lazy at the sea,
    There's a Burma girl a-settin', and I know she thinks o' me;
    For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the Temple-bells they say:
    "Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay!"


    Everyone pitched in with loads of textual clues and imagery from flying fish to ice rinks of Christmas to allude to his poems and works.

    What if the kids bicker during this team building therapy

    "She pulled my plait first"
    "No, she nicked my scrunchy"
    "She told me that I resemble a bald pig, what does that even mean, are there hairy pigs anywhere?"
    "Only after she screamed I'm a cross between armadillo and jerboa. I had to look up "jerboa". Don't I deserve a right to be satirized in less obscured animal names"
    "She orchestrated that spill on me"
    "She wilfully smeared that cheese on me"

    How will Jaggu the carnatic counsellor riding on kawasaki mediate?

    Sista Jugnoo, such reverse sleuthing is fracturing my brain. Now I understand all your sweating and fretting when you posted that puzzle, has she nailed it or not :confused2:


    There are 3-4 proximate answers for the same puzzle, whisper to me something like butterflyice's shapely and fiery stab at the puzzle.
