अमीर खुसरो की पहेलियां... (दो-सुखन)

विशेष नोट : बचपन में नानी के घर पर ये पहेलियां भी हमसे पूछी जाती थीं... कुछ ही याद थीं, लेकिन अब इंटरनेट से ढूंढ़कर कई 'दो सुखन' पहेलियां डाल रहा हूं... 'सुखन' फारसी भाषा का शब्द है, जिसका अर्थ कथन या उक्ति है... अमीर खुसरो के 'दो सुखन' में दो कथनों या उक्तियों का एक ही उत्तर होता है... इसका मूल आधार एक ही शब्द के दो-दो अर्थ हैं...

अगर आप जवाब ढूंढ लेते हैं तो ठीक, वरना कमेंट लिख दीजिएगा, मैं जवाब आपको मेल के जरिये भेज दूंगा...

दीवार टूटी क्यों...?
राहगीर लुटा क्यों...?


जोगी भगा क्यों...?
ढोलकी चुपी क्यों...?

गोश्त खाया न क्यों...?
डोम गाया न क्यों...?

मुसाफिर प्यासा क्यों...?
गधा उदासा क्यों...?

रोटी जली क्यों...?
घोड़ा अड़ा क्यों...?

मेरी पहेलियां फेसबुक से (क्विज़)

एक और भी शौक रहा है मुझे... पहेलियां सुलझाने और पूछने का... सो, बहुत-सी क्विज़ बनाता रहा हूं मैं फेसबुक पर... अब इस ब्लॉग में भी सभी के लिंक डाल रहा हूं... बताइगा, कैसी रही... पहेली के हेडिंग (टाइटल) पर क्लिक करेंगे तो सही जगह पहुंच जाएंगे...

The '3 Idiots' quiz...
Most of us have by now watched '3 Idiots'... As far as my opinion about the movie is concerned, it was amazingly riveting and interesting, so, I thought of creating this quiz around it... Let's see, how much do you guys know about the movie...

Gulzar: The director

Can you recognise these celebs' caricatures...?
I have put some caricatures of some celebrities (not necessarily from Hollywood film industry)... In my opinion, they are quite popular and it would have made the quiz worthless, if I would have given you the options to choose the right answer from... So, you will now have to take a look at the caricature, and name the star, search for him or her, and then select it as your answer...

Select the older of the two Bollywood actors in every question...
