Identidy X and Y?
In 1989, Forbes magazine estimated X to be one of 227
billionaires in the world with a personal net worth of
approaching US$3 billion.
Ten percent (10%) of the cash had to be written off per year
because of "spoilage", due to rats creeping in and nibbling on
the bills they could reach.
In one of the famous instances he burned a pile of currency
notes to keep his daughter warm.
Y is an American crime drama web television series based
on X’s life.

Who’s X ?
Fauji is famous because it was X’s debut as an
actor in a lead role. Fauji is the coming-of-age
story of Lt. Abhimanyu Rai who learns how to
become a good army officer. With a very well
written script and brilliant acting, Fauji is one
of the best Indian TV shows of all time.

Identify X and Y
Following his party’s poor showing in the 1928 elections, X
believed his loss was due to the public’s misunderstanding of his
ideas, and sought to correct this by retiring from the public eye
and writing what is today known simply as Zweites Buch, an effort
that aimed to expand on the ideas presented in Y, and focused
more on foreign policy. Only two copies of the original were made,
and both remained hidden for several decades.
The book is still unedited, and a half-decent translation was only
made available in 2003.

Identify the Character?
This well known anime character has a peculiar fear of Rats.
The reason for this irrational fear of Rats was explained in a
movie which showed the earlier life of the character. The
character initially was yellow in colour and had ears which
were however bitten off by a rat which required a surgery
to remove them off completely. The character then ended
up drinking a sadness potion by mistake which led him to
cry uncontrollably which gave him a deep voice ( applies to
the Japanese dub) with his body colour too having changed
during the process.
How do we know this character who also happens to belong
to the highest grossing anime film franchise of all time?

and Sangam to the era of Saajan, DDLJ and Parineeta -
grand pianos have stirred great emotions in Hindi film
song situations. Euphoric, romantic, playful, plaintive,
gloomy, et al: they've traversed a wide gamut.
In Sriram Raghavan's sly, smart thriller AndhaDhun, which
is a tip of the hat to Vividh Bharti’s X and
Doordarshan’s Y, the musical instrument for all seasons
gets an all-new portentous ring.
Infact Andhadun begins with a dedication to X and Y–the
film music shows from the 70s and 80s. (pic on next

As per the plan, the X, once built, will be 268 ft long, 140 ft wide
and 128 ft high, from the ground to the apex point and a total of
212 pillars will be used.
Each floor would have 106 pillars i.e. 2 floors, and each pillar
would have 16 statues.
Pink sandstones and white Makrana marble would be most
prominently used.
The work for prefabrication of X is currently being funded
through "voluntary donations". The stones are carefully
numbered and can be joined like a "jigsaw puzzle" using white
cement when needed.
