Trivia
- Ghanada has killed only one mosquito in his entire life as stated in Mosha.
- Ghanada even travels the Mars, as he claims in Phuto.
- In Haans, Ghanada claims that he has hidden a secret map in a bigri haans (a type of ducks) at the Himalayans. In the immediately following story, Suto, Bapi Datta, a temporary resident of the mess tries to find out that map by cutting those bigri haans-es he buys from the Municipal market. Finally after two months, he finds a small vessel inside a duck, inside of which a piece of paper is kept. But, his joy lasts for a small time, as there it is written Ghanadar gul (Ghanda’s bluff) in the paper.
- Ghanada never admits any donation or unconditional help. In case of necessity, he only borrows and keeps counts. At first he borrows cigarettes arbitrarily from the residents of the mess; but from the story Nuri, he borrows only from Shishir. The due count of cigarettes (from Shishir) in Machh is 2357, and that in Chhori is 3298.
- He is also expert in swimming, fencing, wrestling, boxing and all such kind of things.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
