More good news today - udupendra has hit 1000 points! Excellent stuff saar - congratulations!

udupendra was one of the earliest people on this site, and has been a regular face for years now. This is also definitely not his first record here :) He was consistently topping the charts at BB before receiving some very stiff competition! Here’s hoping for many, many more answers from you!

Udupendra gets a star of honor – an achievement badge plus a special badge as well.

Today’s question’s dedicated to udupendra of course :) (although there’s no ‘1000’ funda in this question like there was in yesterday’s)
