No. I actually started trying combinations out on the PC keyboard and found that 'writer' is quite long and was about to write that as a silly guess, then I almost wrote "The longest word I could type is 'writer'..." and i saw typewriter!

Tripura was an intelligent guess It had to be a small state. And. & Nicobar, Lakshwadeep aren't states, Goa has theates, most other NE place have theatres as far as i cud remember, so it boiled down to Tripura

Ok, now since you're interested in quizzing here's one... The tokyo Shibaru Electrical company used to work on electrical equipment when it was founded decades back. Today the company has diversified and under its new name is a powerful brand to recon with. Which company am I talking about? No googling for the answers please...

I thought that I thought, therefore I was, but then I thought that had I not thought, would I be not? Then I realized, I think BECAUSE I am.

Very true... and esp. the inspiration/perspiration quote is one of the most quoted quotes in the world But the other two questions were cool

I thought that I thought, therefore I was, but then I thought that had I not thought, would I be not? Then I realized, I think BECAUSE I am.
