Very refreshing change,though.But it would really help if you gave us a standard to compare with,esp. for entries like the last one.
Guesses:

respectively

apologies for the long absence, dear blog-izens.

the points for this round are split:

madsies gets the points for the locations (it's actually bangladesh & USA, but close enough). lavanya gets the points for the occupation.

fire-eater, for the previous post, your answer was ganesha, not mouse.

Arnie kanna

read the scene.. dont assume things
that song which comes after the scene is what deepa, catcharun, bubby and sai and others sing as a chorus when they see you awake (arnie arnie song-oda happy version not the sad version)

sai.. en career-a patthi naane sonna nalla irukkadu
arnie kitta kaelu.. idu epdi irukku
