Dr. Navin Jayakumar's 1st Quiz Question

Now it's tentacles are out to tickle the quizzer in Hyderabad and Delhi, thus making it the biggest All-India general quiz.

I knew who they meant and said I was saving up my interview with Rajiv Rai. So here you are, a small peek at how the many travels of Rajiv Rai have helped him set quiz questions! And, according to Govind "Greenko"/"Bubbles" , answer them as well.
