16. This question brings back a story i know in the life of young Thomas. He had gone for the Young World quiz in Trivandrum but was not allowed to participate as he was in 4th standard and they allowed kids from 8th std only to participate.
    There was an audience question framed by the quizmaster, Mr. V.V. Ramanan who does a great job as quizmaster. The question was ” How many steps to climb to the sanctum of the sabaraimalai temple?”. now Thomas was so excited that he jumped up and without pausing answered “39 steps with banian”. “Wrong answer” said Ramanan peering closely at Thomas’ face with a puzzled look.
    It turns out that the book he was reading on the bus trip from Kochi to Trivandrum was the 39 steps by John Bunyan and this had subliminally affected his answer.

17. This morning, there was a power cut in my office. As I climbed upstairs, I counted every step that I had to climb. There were 39 of them. And I was alone. Not handcuffed to some pretty lady.

    Imagine my frustration when I logon to this blog and find this question of John Buchan and a still from The 39 Steps.

    That time, I wished that every step that I stood on was you. Andha step nee ya irukannum than nenachen. Step Nee ya irukannum than nenachen.. Step Nee.

18. oopss..in all my excitement to relate Thoma’s story I typed in the incoorect name of the authour.
