Delhi Planet Weekend Trivia

While you excercise those relaxed neurons and prepare them for the week ahead here’s some information regarding the Delhi Planet Weekend Specials. Starting from today, every weekend you would get to read about something different that you didn’t know of or something that isn’t common knowledge. This would range from the latest technological trends to biographies about people and organizations who have significantly contributed to society,and if there is something big happening over the weekend then you can expect DP to publish an exclusive review .So Stay Tuned cause just like the earth the planet is getting hotter as well.

Now coming back to the question, chances are that if you have figured out the names of the countries then google or wiki would have helped you figure out the answer ,if not then here it is. The first country is the Federated States of Micronesia followed by Armenia and finally Tuvalu.So what, you may say.Well if you find out what the domain name extensions of these countries are you would get the catch ,cause they are .fm, .am and .tv. All these are exceptionally small countries and make significant amounts of money just because their domain names can be used and booked by anyone.So much so that about 50% of micronesia’s economy is dependent on the use of the .fm domain name,which is used by fm stations around the world.

Speaking of fm,the past few months have seen a sudden explosion in the number of fm channels in delhi.While a few years back there were only 2-3 major players,it’s now doubled to 7 primetime fm channels. These consist of Star Tv’s 91.1 Fm,92.7 Fm by the ADAG, the India Today Group’s 93.5 fm, 94.3 Fm by BBC, Hit 95 fm(and it’s still a puzzle as to who owns this channel), 98.3 fm by the Times group and the latest entrant being Fever 104 powered by Virgin Music and the Hindustan Times which is emerging as one of the best channels to listen too. And guess what they even teach you “how to turn on a virgin”,check here.

Well I hope that charged those sleepy neurons in your head,cause it’s back to work tomorrow. Happy Monday.
