Brand name game

Techians,
Let's keep aside work and have some fun! We will post a query or a few associated words and other members have to guess which brand is being referred to.

Here's what you do:
In a response in this thread you ask a query and other members will try to answer. When the answer is acknowledged as correct, then the next query can be asked. Any member, including editors, can ask and answer. However, each member should not ask more than 5 queries in total. Also, if you have answered first, then you must not answer the next two consecutive queries. Only later, if the answer given is incorrect by more than one person, then you can answer those queries. That way, everyone will get to play.

Let the game begin....

Bose sound systems should be the correct answer. Clue refers to Subhaschandra Bose.

Well, I'm feeling very happy to participate in this interesting game. This game is indeed very interesting. I hope to see more more queries in the list, so that we can run the horses of our mind to find the correct answer. However, for now the answer for this: "First brand with associated words:
Sound - Indian freedom fighter" is Subhaschandra Bose, who was a great Indian freedom fighter which is also lighted in the clew. I was able to find this as the word "Sound" in the clew refers to the popular music systems (speaker) of the company Bose. So with this I was able to guess that there is something related to the word Bose. Then as the clew tells us that the answer is related to a Indian freedom fighter, so I was able to find that the correct answer for this very interesting game is Subhaschandra Bose.

Regards,
Aman

I don't think associating Subhashchandra Bose is logical with the "Bose sound system" because that really is on the name of another individual Dr. Amar G. Bose, who has got nothing to do with Freedom Fighting.
In that case we can award or punish any other individual with the same surname, isn't it?

Anwesha,
I guess Subhaschandra Bose is the right answer according to me. As the clew also tells that the answer is somewhat related to a Indian Freedom Fighter, so what could it be other than it? The most chances for the right answer for this clew is Subhaschandra Bose then.

Aman

Well Timmappa, it was me who was discussing out things. If we don't go by logic, and don't explain things, can we reach any conclusion? It cannot be just saying a name and getting an "yes" or "no".
Any game like this cannot go ahead with just uttering a name. As it is based on clues, so it has to have a path to follow. If things are becoming difficult regarding allotting or gaining points and awards, then we can make this game "pointless" and "award free" . The Real fun of the game will take place only then.

Thanks a lot Anwesha for better explaining my words to Timmappa Kamat. I was also trying to say the same thing. But I guess he haven't understood and even now the editor has again reduced my points for no reason. I will more than happy to see this game thread giving no points to any member. But I would request to the editor to stop this activity.

Aman

Members, is it really necessary to transform every forum thread into a free-for-all?! We can't even enjoy a fun activity without silly needless quarrels.

Aman, in #22440 you have given a needlessly long response. You simply have to give the brand name. [also, note the correct spelling of clue - it is not clew].

Timmappa: I feel you did not need to give a second response. You could have edited your first response itself instead of repeating the answer.

Anwesha: The name Bose may be associated with many persons, but when the clue is given as an Indian freedom fighter, obviously it is referring only to Subhas Chandra Bose.

Also, this is just a fun game activity with no reward points or cc. I just wanted to create some light fun for members!

Regards,
Vandana

I guess that name is "Dell". This is because the name of the company head is Michael Dell. And nursery rhyme named "Farmer in the dell".

Brand name - USHA.

USHA is the brand name for sewing machine. It was popular brand name in 90s.

I think the clue says "Stitching machine" and name of singer.

So it seems the name of that singer is "Usha uthup".

Exactly, Mahesh- you caught it right.

But, please note that you should not answer this question. Refer to the following lines from the thread starter -
Also, if you have answered first, then you must not answer the next two consecutive queries. Only later, if the answer given is incorrect by more than one person, then you can answer those queries.

No offence meant, though. The answer is right.

It is a gadget manufacturer. The name of the company is formed by combining two different words. The first word is opposite to the second and vice versa. Guess the name!
