I have been observing this for quite sometime now. I hope many of you would have also observed this.
Newspapers and magazines have article titles that are inherited from famous phrases from movies or books or songs. Sometimes I think that writers are running short of ideas to christen their article. But honestly, some of these titles really sound very creative in the way they are formed. As a reader I get attracted to read the article if the title sounds familiar (by the way it is inherited) to me. Is that why the writers are going for such titles?
With my very limited knowledge on Hollywood movies and famous books, I have extracted some of such titles that I came across in my very recent readings. A small quiz to the readers of this blog. Try if you can find out the origin of these phrases.
[Example: Title of this blog 'All that phrase' is inherited from 'All that jazz', my favourite song from movieChicago . In addition there is a movie with the title 'All that jazz'. Like wise – find the origins of phrases below]
Phrases:
1. I have a dream
2. Should it be shaken or stirred?
3. The name's bond, distressed bond
4. Ranbaxy Presents SAD MAX
5. Search me if you can, lazy bones
6. The wrath of grapes
7. For a few thousand crores more
8. India Calling
9. Wings of change
10. Cane Unable
Above phrases were titles of articles in the following magazines & newspapers:
1 to 6 - Business & Economy (dated 25-Jan-07)
7 - Business Today dated (dated 28-Jan-07)
8 & 9 - Business World (dated 01-Jan-07)
10 - Economic Times (dated 20-Jan-07)
Answers will be out on 31-Jan-07. Rush in with your answers before 31st.
Note: I have enabled 'comments moderation' as I don't want the answers to be displayed before 31st Jan as that might spoil the party. :)

Barani - you have scored a whopping 7 out of 10. Highest so far. Congratulations. :)
Barani - incorrect answers are 4,8 & 10. Wanna try once more?
For 8 other thing I think is movie Bollywood Calling
Barani - Excellent...!
Your revised answer to question# 8 is correct.
Your score now is 8 out of 10. :)
The correct answers:
1. I have a dream
Originates from the famous speech delivered by Martin Luther King,Jr.
2. Should it be shaken or stirred?
James Bond always orders his Martini "shaken,not stirred". Looks like cocktails are prepared properly by stirring and not shaking. Someone who is really 'familiar' with alcohol can confirm this. :)
3. The name's bond, distressed bond
Obvious one. Name's Bond, James Bond
4. Ranbaxy Presents SAD MAX
Inherited from the movie "MAD MAX".
5. Search me if you can, lazy bones
Inherited from the movie "Catch me if you can"
6. The wrath of grapes
Inherited from the movie "The Grapes of Wrath"
I thought this one was tough. Has anyone seen this movie?
7. For a few thousand crores more
Inherited from the movie "For a Few dollars more" - Clint Eastwood's western. I love it.
8. India Calling
Inherited from the movie Bollywood calling (Nagesh Kukoonor). Most got it wrong with India Shining. I think here the key is 'calling' not the 'India'. I have seen 'Chennai Calling', 'Hyderabad Calling' etc also.
9. Wings of change
Mr.Kalam's autobiography "Wings of Fire"
10. Cane Unable
"kane and abel" - Jeffrey Archer's famous fiction.
thats interesting.
