 The founder of this company’s explanation as to how he
came up with the name:-
“One day I was in San Francisco in a coffee shop, and I was
thinking X is a good name. And then a waitress came, and I
said, "Do you know about X?" And she said yes. I said,
"What do you know about X?", and she said, “Y". And I said,
"Yes, this is the name!" Then I went onto the street and
found 30 people and asked them, "Do you know X?" People
from India, people from Germany, people from Tokyo and
China … they all knew about X. X is a kind, smart business
person, and he helped the village. So … easy to spell, and
globally known. “

9. 3. The X was found in 1858, making it one
year older than the one found at Shanghai,
and probably the oldest one in the East. X
had to shift base quite a few times. It started
off with a thatched roof on the bank of the
Hooghly near Chandpal Ghat. This lasted till
1864 when a disastrous cyclone swept the
whole place away. The next was at Fortpoint
in 1865, but only after much argument with
the inmates of the Fort who alleged that it
would interfere with the field of fire of some
of their guns. Subsequently, it tried out other
places, which include – Strand Road, Adi
Ganga and Kidderpore before it shifted to its
present location.

15. 5. The inspiration behind this is not clear and hence,
attributed to one of the two men- either George Villiers (16-
17th century) or Prince Regent George (late 18th century).
- The first was an up-start who wormed his way into the court
of King James I. George Villiers was likely a bisexual, who
had an intense and fairly well-documented attachment to
the king. George loved the ladies and was rumoured to be
fond of seducing noblemen’s wives – sometimes without the
consent of the ladies in question.
-Prince Regent George was enormously fat, and notoriously
gluttonous. He couldn’t fit regular clothes. He wasn’t the
sharpest tool in the shed, but he definitely loved the ladies.
Prince George once attended a bare-knuckle boxing match
which left one contestant dead. He ran away and hid himself,
afraid of a potential scandal.

right now, and Norman Lloyd said to me, “You have no idea how
lucky you are. You guys think you are having a nice time but you
don’t know how rare an experience this is.” He was in his 70s and
he was saying that the experience of making X was unique. And
I feel a little way like that towards you.
B : Yeah, I’m terrified to work on another project.
A : You’ll be profoundly disappointed. [Laughs] The first time I
saw X I thought it was a good film in the parts I wasn’t in. But
every time I came on screen it turned into some home movie
and I was hearing a screeching sound, like an alarm. Did you
have any feelings like that watching Y? It must have been
weirder for you because there was so much of it that you don’t

Hey there. I’m _________. I get really passionate
about things. At some time in my life, I’ve been
obsessed or borderline-obsessed with saltwater
aquariums, the baritone euphonium, reading, piano,
filming, financial markets, (and certain other
things). I studied History at the University of
Georgia. During my senior year of college, I took out
$3,000 in student loans and bet it on Barack Obama
to win the presidency. A friend heard about this bet
and got me a job trading bonds on the Chicago Board
of Trade. I traded for three years. It went really well
for awhile. But then it went really bad.
Whoops. After I lost my trading job, I decided to (his

decision, but so far it’s gone pretty well. And I’ve met
some amazing people along the way. Fill in the

According to Narayan Sanyal’s novel Rupamanjari, the genesis of X
actually goes back to the matrimony alliance between the two seats of
power in two different parts of present day West Bengal. The story goes
that a girl from the then Krishnanagar royal household was married to
a son from Burdwan royal household. When she became pregnant she
lost her appetite and refused to eat any food. During this time she
expressed a desire to eat this – something that artisans from her
maternal home used to manufacture.
The then ruler of Krishnanagar made arrangements to find out who
prepared X but no one in Krishnanagar seemed to be aware of this
Apparently even the lady did not remember the name. She had
mentioned “X” because the artisan who used to prepare this used to
limp and walk .Then the artisan was summoned to the Krishnagar
court and was sent off to Burdwan. He was lured with lands to settle in
Burdwan so that he could prepare delicacies for the royalty.
