Sofia Karim, a London-based artist and human-rights activist, runs the project
Turbine Bagh, which mainly rallies against fascism in India and Bangladesh. Her
maternal uncle is the well known Bangladeshi photographer Shahidul Alam, who in
2018 was abducted and imprisoned by the Bangladeshi government for criticising
its handling of a protest. In response, Karim began printing works by artists and
news clippings condemning the government and telling stories of the Free Shahidul
campaign, on a certain packaging object as mostly these packages are made of
plain sheets of paper (not essentially white paper) and used by local vendors in
Indian subcontinent to put their products in them and sell it to the customers almost
immediately as they are made. This made it very easy to spread the messages to
common people going about their regular life buying these items to enjoy with
family.
What item/ packaging does Turbine Bagh use to print its protest messages? #1

Due to President Xi Jinping's strict zero-COVID policy, many people in China were
confined to their houses.
If any confirmed instances are recorded, the towns and cities are placed under
heavy lockdown, and people are sent to quarantine facilities. All citizens of big
cities must submit to testing. People are unable to access public spaces like
marketplaces and restaurants without having negative effects.
The Chinese people have used a distinct method of soft protest to draw attention
to the public's hardship regarding the policy, which has effectively closed China
off from the outside world. Jie mi, which means "Give me rice," reflects the dearth
that many people living in lockdown are experiencing.
What are the people doing, which has gone viral on national media? #2

This term ________ (Blanks not indicative) was first used by Lewis Carroll in his
1871 poem 'Jabberwocky'. It refers to a large, shaggy, dog-like entity that has the
ability to roll into a ball and move extraordinarily quickly. The said creature also
appears in the author’s most famous book, where it is under the control of the
primary antagonist.
This term also found its way into the title of an OTT movie which is dubbed as the
first of its kind. It was released alongside its corresponding television series. Set in
the 80s, the movie is about a newbie game designer who decides to make one of
his favourite books into an "adventure" game of sorts. As the movie progresses, he
starts losing it and struggles to find a line between reality and imagination.

The nomadic Vaghari community created the textile art form known as
Mata-Ni-Pachedi in Gujarat about 300 years ago. It came from the
demands of the underprivileged and disadvantaged in society.
Together, their human creativity and spiritual impulses helped to create the
art form. Large swaths of cloth were painted with representations of the
goddess Shakti in a variety of forms by the neighbourhood motivated by a
shared purpose. Meaning literally "behind the goddess" because they were
intended to serve as backdrops for idols, they often follow a set pattern with
the female deity's image at the centre of a shrine, which is surrounded by
different important community symbols and beliefs.
What prompted them to start creating this sacred art? #4

__________ is a melancholic poem penned by a Romantic writer. The 24 line composition
dramatises the confusion felt by the narrator as he watches the important things in life slip
away. It raises doubt about the nature of 'reality' as we know it, questioning our perception of the
world-
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a ____________ (blanks are not indicative)

To capture this particular shot (image attached), the special effects crew
working on 2001: A Space Odyssey had to expose 1500 frames of the giant
space station turning in the Earth’s orbit.
This single shot took roughly 3 hours to film as each frame was exposed
for 6 seconds. However, when the editors reviewed the footage, they found
that the entire sequence was ruined due to 3 blurry frames caused by
vibration incurred by the camera crew, who were particularly excited
about ‘something’ - which hasn’t occurred since.

The Kazakhstani blogger Aslan Sagutdinov was detained in 2019 for putting up a
banner in a public space. Despite the absence of a clear political statement,
Sagutdinov's action was an attempt to cross the border for a public protest.
In Nur-Sultan, Sagutdinov organised his protest a week after more than 80 people
were arrested for taking part in an "anti-government" demonstration against
incorrect voting processes. However, his protest and subsequent incarceration
demonstrated that on occasion, something that seems meaningless can convey
more than just a political message.

____ is a 2014 novel by Vikram Nair where Kalaam accidentally discovers that he
has a god-given flair for coming up with the most succulent recipes - a gift that he
passes to his grandson Pakwaan, the true inheritor of his passion and talent. It is
Pakwaan's extraordinary rendition of a certain dish that catches the fancy of
Svetlana, a Russo-American who is convinced that this dish is the answer to the
USA’s craving for all things exotic.
“her palate luxuriated in the taste of wine and sting of chilies and cinnamon, the
tartness of vinegar so deliciously rounded with the sweetness of gur, the tang of
mustard with the sweetness of onions…” is how Nair describes the goan dish. The
novel derived its name by replacing a word with the goan dish in the title of a 1936

Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji is a series of landscape prints made by the
Japanese Ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. The most famous is the iconic painting "The
Great Wave off Kanagawa". As the name indicates, all these images share one
element in common, i.e., Mount Fuji.
A certain contemporary artist made a certain album cover in 2018 based on this
series of prints, with the mountain standing out very prominently in the album art.
In early sketches, the painter wanted the music artists to be represented by an
anthropomorphized bear and fox, however, in the final versions, the portrayal is
more akin to a pair of Yokai, one of them riding a serpentine creature. We also
remember the artist for another music-related artwork about a decade before
that.

When the teen drama Never have I ever returned with season two last
year, many noticed that the familiar voiceover changed for episode 3
