Think!

Identify:
Madhav got it right. The answer is Platform 9 and 3/4.
The trivia is:

Rowling discovered after the books were published that she had confused the layout of King's Cross with that of Euston Station, and that platforms 9 and 10 at King's Cross were not the ones between which she had meant her magical platform to be placed. There is no platform between tracks 9 and 10 at King's Cross. To solve this, the filmmakers re-numbered platforms 4 and 5 for the duration of filming. In reality, at both King's Cross and Euston, platforms 9 and 10 are separated by train tracks. The exterior shots in the film are that of nearby St. Pancras station.

Perhaps coincidentally, a local legend claims that Queen Boudica fought her last battle near the site of King's Cross Station, and her body is said to be buried somewhere between platforms nine and ten.

Today, King's Cross Station still has no Platform 9¾, but it does have a ‘Platform 9a’ and a ‘Platform 9b’. The secondary building containing platforms 9 to 11 has been decorated with a cast iron ‘Platform 9¾’ sign, complete with a luggage trolley ‘stuck’ halfway through the wall as tribute to the book. A wrought iron 'Platform 9¾' gate used as part of the film set is preserved at the National Railway Museum.

Are u a DUhite & facing money crunch early in the session.Dude don't be disappointed,there is a ray of hope for you.Just follow the below listed noble steps to make money even faster than the "Oracle Of Ohama":-
  1. Keep a track of your college notice board for Quiz competitions in non campus colleges(Dayal Singh ,Kamla Nehru:to name a few).TIP:to enhance your chances of winning look out for girls colleges.

  3. Reach the college for the event at sharp 30minutes past the scheduled start of the event ,else you will feel like beating yourself.
  4. After all melodrama i.e. attendance,tech faults,shortage of preliminary sheets etc.The so called Quiz compition(not "Competition") will get started with absurd rules bungee jumping on your eardrum.There r 23 questions(probably there lucky no. or quiz-mast age) in prelims,7 minutes to answer(the time he/she takes to freshen up),mcq's,10/9 teams will qualify to the finals(at least they should consider the space available on there stage) etc.NOTE:They might threaten to disqualify you because it's there college & there compition.

  • Question of the season:Name the CEO of Jet Airways...& the story goes on in the finals.

Liked them,kudos to the quizmast(not"quizmasters",mast means "a sturdy upright pole" ) its all because of there sheer hardwork carried out that we come to such nuisance in DU,sponsored by big corporate houses.

Statutory Warning:The above questions are the "COPYRIGHTS" of the Quiz-mast,Please take there prior permission before using them for your project works,articles,research papers & case studies(Harvard will draft out one soon) etc.

6.After series of rounds the team with 100% luck (intellectual level is not mandatory) is declared the winner and the prizes makes your pocket heavier.As it may range from 2-4 thousand plus the goodies of the sponsors like bagpack,discount coupons,techtoys etc.

After all this we say that corporates doesn't care foe the students.May God Bless Them.

Hope all this might pursuade you to participate/boycott(if u r a "ILLUMINATOR") such compition which are as good as reality shows on Indian TV.

If i have hurted someones feeling,then please ask your friend to console you.

Having made you go through this absurd prototype of mine writing skils,I don't except comments from you.If i receive any they will be dumped with honor.BUT U CAN COMMENT ON THE MISSING TITLE,MOREOVER THE BEST TITLE WILL BE NON- GENEROUSLY AWARDED.
