Stone Soup

  Mulla Naseeruddin was going to city for some work.

As he was going by walking, it was getting dark. He decided to spend night in the nearby village.

But he didn't know that the villagers are stingy. None of them agreed to accommodate him nor they give food.

Naseeruddin was carrying a pot with him. He ignited fire at the middle of the village.

Poured some water to the pot. As the water was boiling, he fetched a stone of medium size.

As the curious villagers were watching, he put the stone inside the boiling water !!!!

One of the villagers asked him, What is he doing ???

Naseeruddin replied, I am preparing delicious stone soup !!!!

Villagers didn't hear of that soup till now.

They all stood and watched Naseeruddin preparing the stone soup !!!!

Naseeruddin smiled and said if he could find a little salt, soup would be ready in 15 minutes !!!!

One villager hurriedly went home and brought salt.

Meanwhile Naseeruddin had taken out the stone from the pot and threw it away !!!

As the villager brought salt , Naseeruddin said What is he preparing now is the favourite stone soup of Sultan 

But he has forgot to add some vegetables and chilly powder !!!!

Soon all of those appeared before him and Naseeruddin successfully prepared delicious vegetable soup .

He shared and had the soup with gathered villagers.

Villagers still think that they had delicious stone soup !!!!

Let the number be x.

7 consecutive numbers means   =    x,   x+1,     x+2,      x+3  ,    x+4,     x+5,   x+6

Their average is given which is 20.

Which is the Union Territory ??

  This question was asked on Koun Banega Karodpati program.

Question 

Which present day Union territory has its colonial town divided into French town and Indian town ??

1.  Goa

2.  Daman and Diu

3.  Pondicherry 

4.   Andaman and Nicobar islands 

Answer 

Question was talking about colonial town which is now, an Union territory.

In the question it was said that it is divided into French Town and Indian town.

This means colonial power is  FRANCE   !!!

Now looking at the options,

Goa was the Portuguese colony.

Similarly Daman and Diu.

So Goa and Daman and Diu  are ruled out.!!!

Andaman and Nicobar islands were directly governed by  British.

Andaman and Nicobar islands are ruled out !!!

Remaining is Pondicherry or Puducherry.

It is also known as   "  Little France  " !!!

Puducherry has rich French colonial history and cultural influence.

Its architecture, cuisine and heritage still reflects French influence !!!

Puduchery was home to both native Indians and French nationals.

French people were not mingling with native Indians thinking that Indians are black.

A small water canal was seperating the houses.

That's why it was divided into French Town and Indian town.

Correct answer      PUDUCHERRY   !!!
