I just saw the entry. the comment said 0 comments. On first sight I knew the answer was starbucks.

I just work out the simple clues and come to the comment section. What do I see? PB has already beaten me to it.

Anyway, the only different simple answer was Akbar at no.4

Srini said...

haha.

Starbucks was originally supposed to have been named pequod.
but someone said, "No one's going to drink a cup of Pee-quod!" so they settled for the Pequod's first mate, Starbuck

Srini said...

so here is a different answer list

Lotus
SWAT
Tripura
Akbar
Rhubarb
Bindu
Ultrasonic
Catwalk
Kiss
