    I have to repeat what you said elsewhere "walk the walk". First Rihana, next Gauri03 and last Viswa.bie1

    When I read your response, I thought you derived the answer and happily liked your post and moved on. I am curious to know how my puzzle fits a person perfectly.

    Vishwanath anand.

    I deliberately addressed you as Vishwa instead of Viswa and the master was to denote grandmaster and Gauri. Like one had to pick just Buckingham from Buckingham palace, one has to pick Vishwanath from Vishwanath Pratap Singh. Same strategy, you see.

    I also used Viswa twice to refer to Vishwa, son of Vishwa. Both Anand and his dad have the name Vishwanath ( it's probably just an expansion of initial in case of Anand, still..)

    Anand is called the Tiger of Madras, has won the Rajiv Gandhi khel ratna. One could interpret the typhoon image to the massive surge in popularity that Anand' s wins brought about to the world of chess in India.

    You said the first and last images are not important, so satisfied myself with oblique references: Anand played in Romania and K awarded him Rs.25 lakhs sometime.

    Can't agree more. My WhatsApp too was full of these.

    Here goes another one. Easy like always. Don't overthink it! Multiple images point to the same thing. If you can crack 2 or 3 you are done. You don't have to identify them all to solve. I made this puzzle only to share this wonderful, but little known, factoid about our country.

    Panda-puzzle.jpg

    Verbal clue: “Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” -- Unknown

    The answer has many of a kind. I'm looking for a specific one.

    Please keep giveaway clues covered, though clever indirect clues will get bonus imaginary points! :biggrin2:

    I do find these forwards emotionally draining and yes it does sound like a lot of noise. However, the fact is that public opinion has become stronger only after these kind of messages started circulating on social media (no matter what the issue) and it is only then that our politicians are forced to sit up and take note.

    Unfortunately our politicians are notorious for playing the emotional card. Nothing gets done without a hue and cry and public outrage.

    At least this my reading of the situation in our country. Aren't Indians hyper emotional - everything boils down to ma-bahen!
