3. X and Y?
1. X is a 1980 Bengali short film directed by Y for a French
television channel, France 3. The film is based on a
short story named X’s Diary , written by Y for one of his
books. The film showcases a day in the life of a six-
year-old child, X, in the backdrop of his
mother's extramarital affair.
Y was approached by the freelance producer Henri Fraise
to make a film. Y said in his biography that, when Henri
Fraise approached him to make a film, he briefed Y by
saying "[...] you can place your camera at your window
and shoot the house next-door—we will accept that.

12. Id all and the problem.
• When X was delivering a lecture in London in
1896, Y was in the audience. After the lecture,
Y came up to X and said that he could resolve
one of the basic problems of philosophy and
in fact science in the next 7 days. However, the
problem took another few years and was
partially and brilliantly resolved by Z .

14. • X- Swami Vivekananda
• Y- Tesla

• Anil Aggarwal
• Shiv nadar
• Ratan Tata
• Mukesh Ambani
• Nandan Nilekani

17. • Top Philanthropists in India

18. • In 1854, after 39 years of peace, Britain found
itself fighting a major war against Russia.
The Crimean War was one of the first wars
with modern reporting, and the dispatches
ofWilliam Howard Russell described the
events regularly. This kind of reporting and
information led to the establishment of
something.

20. • Establishment of Victoria Cross since stories of
valour reached more easily.

21. • X, who met the 30-year-old Y for the first time here,
remembered him as a symbol of "virile patriotism". Her
description is arguably the best there is: "Tall and
stately, but thin to the point of emancipation, languid
and luxurious of habit, Y attenuated form is a deceptive
sheath of a spirit of exceptional vitality and endurance.
Somewhat formal and fastidious, and a little aloof and
imperious of manner, the calm hauteur of his
accustomed reserve but masks, for those who know
him, a naïve and eager humanity, an intuition quick
and tender as a woman’s, a humour gay and winning as
child’s … a shy and splendid idealism which is of the
very essence of the man.“ X and Y?

23. • X- Sarojini Naidu
• Y- Jinnah

24. X and Y?
• Within hours of releasing their new music video X, Y reignited the
debate on cultural appropriation that for years has pestered
ignorant white people everywhere.
• But it’s also more than that. Director Ben Mor sprayed the “essence
of incredible India” onto his video, a diluted perfume invented by
white, western creatives whenever they want some Indian
inspiration. Under the western gaze, India is a lush, exotic land filled
with dingy slums inhabited by pious, levitating holy men and lanky
brown-skinned children who are always throwing colored powders
at each other. This idealized India obscures the realities of a
complex nation in favor of reductive tropes originally intended to
preserve western hegemony. Y’s myopic construction of India has
been part of western representation since the colonial era, but in
the past few years, the music industry has embraced it to make
their videos more interesting.

26. • X- Hymn for the weekend
• Y-Coldplay

27. Id all.
• Sometime in 1990, X came to Delhi to make a
documentary on Y, one of the stalwarts of
Indian Classical music. Coincidentally, X’s
contact in Delhi asked Z (who was a struggler
in the Delhi Theater Circuit)
to show X around Delhi. But then, X and Z struck
a chord and have been regular associates on
nearly every project from then on.

29. • X- Gulzar
• Y- Ustad Amjad Ali Khan
• Z- Vishal Bhardwaj

30. Poet?
• O Mother, Mother India,
You have nursed us and grown us,
And gave us a parting mission
And an eternal message.
“O my sons and daughters,
Wherever you go,
Whatever mission you do,
Remember my children,
My three advices golden!
Always be truthful even in danger,
Sweat and sweat to acquire,
Knowledge and name,
Wherever you live enrich that land.
O, Mother we crossed the oceans and seas
With many generation of yours with your blessings,
We made new lands prosperous,
We made knowledge as the way of life
Sweat as the way of life and
We give and give to honour you
What we do is for honoring you,
We will always be children yours,
Wherever we are,
Whatever we do,
We will always be children yours!.
O Mother, Mother India.

32. • APJ Abdul Kalam

33. Y?
• In Scouting, a Y is a large gathering of Scouts who rally at a
national or international level. According to the Canadian
Oxford Dictionary, the etymology is "19th century, origin
unknown". The OED identifies it as coming from American
slang and identifies a use in the New York Herald in 1868
and in Irish writings later in the 19th century. Robert
Graves in The Crowning Privilege: The Clark Lectures, 1954–
1955 suggests Baden-Powell might have known the word
through his regiment's Irish links rather than from the US
slang. Poet Robert W. Service used the term well before the
first Y. It appears in the poem "Athabaska Dick" in
his Rhymes of a Rolling Stone, which was published in 1912.
At the time, the word meant a rowdy, boisterous gathering.

35. • Jamboree

36. X?
• The word X means, literally, "entwined
twins."What defines X is that the two soloists
be on an equal footing. While any Indian
music performance may feature two
musicians, a performance can only be deemed
a X if neither is clearly the soloist and nor
clearly the accompanist. In X, both musicians
act as lead players, and a playful competition
exists between the two performers.

38. • Jugalbandi

39. Connect
• Henry James
• T S Eliot
• Khushwant Singh

41. • Portrait of a lady

42. Id all and the reason.
X was a fresco by Y in New York City’s Z. The
painting was controversial because of a certain
reason . Despite protests from artists, the man
who commissioned it ordered its destruction
before it was completed.
• Only black-and-white photographs exist of the
original incomplete mural, taken when Y was
forced to stop work on it. Using the photographs,
Y repainted the composition in Mexico.

44. • X- Man at crossroads
• Y-Diego Rivera
• Z-Rockefeller Foundation
• Reason was that he had painted Lenin as a
workman.

45. Name the case.
• X, a 1963 suspense thriller, directed by R.K.
Nayyar with Sunil Dutt, Leela Naidu and Rehman,
was the first Bollywood film which seemed to
exploit this case. It flopped at the box office. The
film began with a disclaimer that all people and
incidents were fictitious, and altered the case's
outcome. Leela Naidu's 2010 book with Jerry
Pinto indicates that the movie screenplay was
written before the case. It was a coincidence of
the real-life case events with a similar movie
storyline that led to similarities while the movie
was being made.

47. • KM Nanavati Case

48. X?
• “The Natural History” (Naturalis Historia), the most
comprehensive encyclopaedic work of classical Rome,
was compiled and partly published by X before AD 79
when he was killed by the volcanic eruption of the
Vesuvius. Its detailed description of the voyage from
Alexandria to South India on the Nile up to Coptos,
through the desert to Berenice at the Red Sea
(shortened in the following quotation) and then across
the Indian Ocean to Muziris near Cochin was based on
earlier and contemporary reports and contains
interesting facts, e.g. Rome’s drain of gold for its trade
with India and the existence of piracy in the Indian
Ocean.

50. • Pliny

51. X and Y?
• When X published his results in 1931, he set off a battle with one of the
greatest astrophysicists of the era, Y, who believed that the white dwarf
state was the eventual fate of every star. At a conference in 1935, Y told
his audience that X’s work “was almost a reduction ad absurdum of the
relativistic degeneracy formula. Various accidents may intervene to save a
star, but I want more protection than that. I think there should be a law of
Nature to prevent a star from behaving in this absurd way!”
• X was deeply hurt by Y’s reaction, but colleagues can disagree profoundly
and still remain friends. X and Y remained friends, went to the Wimbledon
tennis tournament together and went for bicycle rides in the English
countryside. When Y passed away in 1944, X spoke at his funeral, saying “I
believe that anyone who has known Y will agree that he was a man of the
highest integrity and character. I do not believe, for example, that he ever
thought harshly of anyone. That was why it was so easy to disagree with
him on scientific matters. You can always be certain he would never
misjudge you or think ill of you on that account.”

53. • X- S Chandrashekhar
• Y-Arthur Eddington

54. Id all.
• “One man who had read an advance copy, the
journalist X, called for a ban in the Y as a measure to
prevent trouble,” says Z in his recently published
memoirs. “He thus became the first member of the
small group of world writers who joined the censorship
lobby.”
• “X further claimed that he had been asked for his
advice by Penguin and had warned the author and the
publishers of the consequences of publication,” adds Z,
writing about himself in the third person. “The author
was unaware of any such warning. If it was ever given,
it was never received.”

56. • X- Khushwant Singh
• Y-Illustrated Weekly of India
• Z-Rushdie

57. X and Y?
• Few directors have as precise and recognizable a style as X, sometimes
called the father of Japanese cinema. Film scholars have studied and
dissected that style for years, and filmmakers imitated it. One artist
particularly moved by X’s elegant way with the medium was Wim
Wenders, who made a feature-length documentary tribute to the
legendary director, 1985’s Tokyo-ga (available as a supplement on both of
our editions of Late Spring).The film pays homage to X with hushed
cityscapes and evocations of everyday Japanese lives, only occasionally
interpolating a scene directly about him. Here, Yuharu Atsuta,
cinematographer on many of X’s films, talks about just how the director
created his signature style of shot (sometimes called the “Y shot”),
distinguished by a still, low camera, and X’s preferred use of a slightly
distortive 50 mm lens (which Wenders has said led to his own
experimentation with lenses).

60. X?
• X is a term for a hybrid Indo-European style of
paintings made in India by Indian artists, many of
whom worked for European patrons in the British
East India Company or other foreign Companies
in the 18th and 19th centuries. The style blended
traditional elements from Rajput and Mughal
painting with a more Western treatment of
perspective, volume and recession. Most
paintings were small, reflecting the
Indian miniaturetradition, but the natural history
paintings of plants and birds were usually life size.
