venketesh

please send qiuz qns alone!!!
We will try to answer....

1. Jataka Tales
2. Tirthankara, in the Jaina religion
3. Louise Brooks

Yes, That was for answer # 3.
Louise Brooks was a silent screen star with a very
fresh look. Still impressive today. Look for 'Pandora's Box'
& 'Diary of a Lost Girl' both made near Berlin, in the
wonderful Wieimar period before WWII.
She inspired a comic strip in American newspapers, called
'Dixie Dugan' with her very smooth bob of black hair.
