We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

4. Question 1
X is one of the most beloved stars on the planet ruling her field from the past
decade. This star is famous for her inspiring messages of hope, freedom, equality,
and self-love, just as she’s famous for her eccentric costumes and memorable
stage performances. There’s also one other trait that X is renowned for around the
world: her blond hair. However, to the surprise of her fans natural hair isn’t the
blond that she’s famous for. It’s actually brunette.
X decided to dye her hair blond because during the start of her career, when she
had dark hair, she was always getting mistaken for another ___ who was popular at
the time: the late Amy Winehouse. X said that she didn’t mind being compared to
Amy, but she wanted an image of her own.
ID X
5. Question 2
In 1870 German chemist Erich von Wolf correctly ascertained the amount of iron
in X, but while transcribing his notes, he accidentally misplaced a decimal point:
instead of recording 3.5 milligrams of iron per 100-gram serving, he wrote that it
had 35 milligrams. This “fact” went out into the world, and it wasn’t corrected until
almost seventy years later, till 1937,
However, these huge health claims did not escape the notice of the studio that
created Y, which is why they chose X as a superfood for Y. In reality, X may not have
been as powerful as they thought, nutritionally, but it certainly had a powerful PR
effect. According to Arbesman, “Y helped increase American consumption of X by
a third!”
ID X and Y
6. Question 3*
X is a famous 19th century English poet and novelist.
She wrote the words to the composition Y which is known worldwide, but its
authorship is generally forgotten.
The sisters and their authorship of various works have often been confused, in part
because their early works were published together.
The best-known parody of Y is a poem recited by the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
ID Y. (ID X for brownie points)
7. Question 4
In the very late part of the 19th century, the residents of a municipality situated 80
kms northwest of Paris, were not happy with a newcomer’s actions when he
brought in certain imports from South America and Egypt because they felt that
these imports could poison the municipal water supply of the town, which came
from a small tributary of the Seine. The residents went on to register a complaint
to the city council of the municipality, who eventually ordered the newcomer to
get rid of his imports but the newcomer did not agree to this.
Had the newcomer agreed to the city council’s orders, what would have not
existed today?
8. Question 5
The credit for coining the term X, is given to Moin Khan, a wicketkeeper. Khan
often asked Y to do something differently by asking him to ____ a X.
X, which has become a very common practice these days works on the principle of
deceiving the _______ by altering the position of one's wrist so that the back of
one's hand faces the ________. This twist causes a change in direction of object's
motion and thus confuses the _________.
Id X
9. Question 6*
Charles Joseph “Buddy” Bolden was an African American cornetist who was
regarded by contemporaries as a key figure in the development of a New Orleans
style of ___ which was called X. It is believed that term X originated from a slang
term meaning which originally meant energy, vitality, spirit or pep.
The first written record of the term comes from an American baseball match
where they described a ball as X ball because it wobbled too much and nothing
could be done to negotiate that.
ID X
10. Question 7
In the early 1980s, E.T the Extra-Terrestrial , gained him so much popularity as it
featured strong bonds between the protagonist and his siblings as well between
them and an alien. According to Spielberg, the movie became a hit because he
saw the movie through the eyes of a kid and wanted to convey those emotions
In the beginning of the movie, one of the siblings and his friends are seen playing
a game similar to X because the characters shouted out "Death spells" , "Melee
Points". Even in the alternate ending of the movie, the characters were seen
playing X with the protagonist being the "Referee" of the game. Spielberg
arranged a game prior to the shooting of the movie among the siblings to make
them feel like family and improve the bonds between them.
ID the game.
11. Question 8
William Mitford, the original patriarch of the Mitford Family had six great
granddaughters. Of the six, three are noteworthy, the most famous of course being
Unity Mitford, who was well known for her relationship with Adolf Hitler.
Diana Mitford went on to marry first Bryan Walter Guinness, and then Sir Oswald
Mosley. Jessica Mitford turned her back on her family, and married someone who
would later go on to become a fighter pilot for the US Army.
In what modern connotation, are we familiar with these three sisters, or what did
they inspire?
12. Question 9*
Though the post Mauryan age is often called the 'dark age' in Indian history, it saw
the development of Indian art forms in different ways.
Gandhara and Mathura emerged as the two major schools of sculpture making in
this era. While Gandhara, which came under a lot of foreign influences, developed
in the modern day areas of NWFP, Mathura school developed in the Braj area
mostly under Indian influence.
However, one of the most distinguishing trait held by Gandhara was the tall
height of the subjects depicted in the sculpture when compared to the Mathura
school.
Why were the subjects of Gandhara sculptures kept taller than Mathura school?
13. Question 10
Bowling is target oriented sport in which a player rolls a ball towards a set of pins.
While modern bowlers have a reasonable shot of scoring a strike i.e all the pins fall,
in earlier days scoring a strike was tough and rare as pins were hand-set , heavier
and also, the game was played mostly during holidays only.
One of the interesting thing about the game is the terminologies used, that is, X is
used when a person scores three consecutive strikes. The origin for the use of the
word started around 19th century namely in the US when X's were given as
common prizes. One more interesting terminology is the use of “Dinosaur” , where
a person scores 12 consecutive strikes.
ID X.
14. Question 11
In 2016, to mark the 10th anniversary of the release of X (Movie), The Soho Hotel in
London was giving fans of X a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience Y.
Although Y has been recreated many times, with the principal ingredients being
gin and vodka, they differ slightly because of the unavailability of a crucial
ingredient which ceased production in 1985.
After a bottle of kina from 1985 was tracked down, Y could be served according to
the original recipe mentioned in the book.
ID X and Y.
15. Question 12*
During the initial years of the Indianapolis 500, each car was required to have a
mechanic along with the driver during the race. These ‘riding mechanics’ among
other things had the job of repairing their own car as well as monitoring
themselves and their surroundings.
In one edition of Indy500, Ray Harroun could not find a mechanic to ride with him,
so he did something that is considered a first in automotive history.
What did he do?
16. Question 13
According to one online thread, X Syndrome "can be characterized as the moment
when one realizes that they are seemingly the only person that hates something
or someone that everyone else enjoys and praises, because they still harbor
memories of when said person or thing used to suck.”
According to Urban Dictionary, X Syndrome is "where you laugh, clap, lie back
onto your chair and smack the table a dozen times then immediately stop
laughing."
ID X.
17. Question 14*
X was painted towards the end of 19th century. The artist realized that the public
wouldn’t care less about the motherhood aspect of the painting, so he mainly
focused on the harmonies and the composition, hence it got the name
“Arrangement in Grey and Black, No. 1” popularly known as X.
Despite X being present since the 19th century, it gained even more spotlight
when it became a major plot element in a late 20th century movie. An UK based
online shopping platform writes in the description for X as, “It is odd enough that
such elitist artist became widely known thanks to the inarticulate idiot who has
been tormenting the artist’s work throughout the whole movie”.
ID the X (the artwork) and the late 20th Century movie.
18. Question 15
The creator of a popular franchise, a father to 2 daughters, wanted a female
character in the series to inspire and appeal to girls and hence created X. After
having a different name during the early development, X got its current name
from Y, an individual in Indian History (with a slight modification), because of the
similarities between her character arc and the life of the individual. Just like Y who
goes through a complete transformation after being traumatised by the
violence in wars, X also leaves her responsibilities after witnessing the _____ Wars
and believes in better ways to resolve chaos and conflict.

In the early 1980s, E.T the Extra-Terrestrial , gained him so much popularity as it
featured strong bonds between the protagonist and his siblings as well between
them and an alien. According to Spielberg, the movie became a hit because he
saw the movie through the eyes of a kid and wanted to convey those emotions
In the beginning of the movie, one of the siblings and his friends are seen playing
a game similar to X because the characters shouted out "Death spells" , "Melee
Points". Even in the alternate ending of the movie, the characters were seen
playing X with the protagonist being the "Referee" of the game. Spielberg
arranged a game prior to the shooting of the movie among the siblings to make
them feel like family and improve the bonds between them.

William Mitford, the original patriarch of the Mitford Family had six great
granddaughters. Of the six, three are noteworthy, the most famous of course being
Unity Mitford, who was well known for her relationship with Adolf Hitler.
Diana Mitford went on to marry first Bryan Walter Guinness, and then Sir Oswald
Mosley. Jessica Mitford turned her back on her family, and married someone who
would later go on to become a fighter pilot for the US Army.
In what modern connotation, are we familiar with these three sisters, or what did
they inspire?
36. Question 9*
Though the post Mauryan age is often called the 'dark age' in Indian history, it saw
the development of Indian art forms in different ways.
Gandhara and Mathura emerged as the two major schools of sculpture making in
this era. While Gandhara, which came under a lot of foreign influences, developed
in the modern day areas of NWFP, Mathura school developed in the Braj area
mostly under Indian influence.
However, one of the most distinguishing trait held by Gandhara was the tall
height of the subjects depicted in the sculpture when compared to the Mathura
school.
Why were the subjects of Gandhara sculptures kept taller than Mathura school?
37. Answer
Gandhara developed under the influence of Greeks whereas Mathura developed
under the influence of Indians.
The average height of Greeks is more than that of Indians so the sculptures which
were made after observing the people in the surroundings had the same property.
38. Question 10
Bowling is target oriented sport in which a player rolls a ball towards a set of pins.
While modern bowlers have a reasonable shot of scoring a strike i.e all the pins fall,
in earlier days scoring a strike was tough and rare as pins were hand-set , heavier
and also, the game was played mostly during holidays only.
One of the interesting thing about the game is the terminologies used, that is, X is
used when a person scores three consecutive strikes. The origin for the use of the
word started around 19th century namely in the US when X's were given as
common prizes. One more interesting terminology is the use of “Dinosaur” , where
a person scores 12 consecutive strikes.

In 2016, to mark the 10th anniversary of the release of X (Movie), The Soho Hotel in
London was giving fans of X a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience Y.
Although Y has been recreated many times, with the principal ingredients being
gin and vodka, they differ slightly because of the unavailability of a crucial

During the initial years of the Indianapolis 500, each car was required to have a
mechanic along with the driver during the race. These ‘riding mechanics’ among
other things had the job of repairing their own car as well as monitoring
themselves and their surroundings.
In one edition of Indy500, Ray Harroun could not find a mechanic to ride with him,
so he did something that is considered a first in automotive history.
What did he do?

He is regarded as the first person to use a rear-view mirror in a race car. This was a
job usually assigned to the mechanic.

According to one online thread, X Syndrome "can be characterized as the moment
when one realizes that they are seemingly the only person that hates something
or someone that everyone else enjoys and praises, because they still harbor

46. Question 14*
X was painted towards the end of 19th century. The artist realized that the public
wouldn’t care less about the motherhood aspect of the painting, so he mainly
focused on the harmonies and the composition, hence it got the name
“Arrangement in Grey and Black, No. 1” popularly known as X.
Despite X being present since the 19th century, it gained even more spotlight
when it became a major plot element in a late 20th century movie. An UK based
online shopping platform writes in the description for X as, “It is odd enough that
such elitist artist became widely known thanks to the inarticulate idiot who has
been tormenting the artist’s work throughout the whole movie”.

The creator of a popular franchise, a father to 2 daughters, wanted a female
character in the series to inspire and appeal to girls and hence created X. After
having a different name during the early development, X got its current name
from Y, an individual in Indian History (with a slight modification), because of the
similarities between her character arc and the life of the individual. Just like Y who
goes through a complete transformation after being traumatised by the
violence in wars, X also leaves her responsibilities after witnessing the _____ Wars

X is an epic war drama movie of the late 1990s, which is hailed by most veterans, some of
whom couldn’t watch it completely due to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), for the
veracity in the graphic portrayals of the war scenes. X tells the tale of soldiers who go
behind the enemy lines, to do something for the character Y, on whose name, X is
partly named.
As is often the case with war movies, an intensive 10-day boot camp was implemented
by the production for the cast. But the actor who played Y did not join the bootcamp,
although he did get trained, but separately. The director of X ensured this
intentionally.
Id this reason and X.
59.
60. Answer
ANS: X- Saving Private Ryan
( Set during the Invasion of Normandy in World War II)
Reason: While Matt Damon, who played Private Ryan, did train prior to the film, he
did not train alongside his castmates. This was an intentional decision by
Spielberg as he did not want Damon to bond with the cast and wanted to
create a potential feeling of resentment in the actors playing Captain Miller’s
squad. This was to reflect the way the squad felt toward Private Ryan in the film, as
they had to risk their lives and save Private Ryan at any cost, as ordered to them,
since all his brothers died in World War 2.
61. Question 3
When Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell published their book of poetry in mid 19th century,
they initially sold just three copies. Later, the 'Bell Brothers' published individual
novels and their works met great success.
The subject matter of their novels - sexual passion, slang, alcoholism, domestic
abuse and violence - led to a storm of Victorian outrage which shook England.
Commentators were quick to accuse the 'Bell Brothers' of something.
The 'Bell Brothers' were not surprised though. Before publishing their first work,
they had a vague impression that they are liable to be looked on with prejudice. In
anticipation of such response, they had taken a certain decision in the first place.
What were they accused of (which turned out to be true)? Who were the 'Bell
Brothers'?

They were accused of being women.
'Bell Brothers' were actually Brontë Sisters
Currer - Charlotte Brontë, Ellis - Emily Brontë, Acton - Anne Brontë
64. Question 4
The Killers, a short story by Ernest Hemingway, is said to be among the biggest
inspirations for X’s most popular artwork Y. In a fan letter that X wrote to the
magazine that printed the story, he says how good and different Hemingway was
for deviating from the usual sentimental storylines. “The short story has the
sense of something about to happen, and it never does” which X really liked and
wanted to add to his work.
He creates this tension in Y to depict the feeling of isolation that the people of his
country had been feeling at the time because of the constant fear brought by the
then situation of the world. Y was released right after a major historical event
which solidified this feeling.

67. Question 5
X, an unsung hero from the incident, played a crucial role in what turned out to be
one of the most iconic sporting moments of all time.
Contrary to the other people involved, X's participation in the incident received
severe backlash from his own country. It effectively ended his career and he was
never selected for the national team in the future.
The story goes that one of the other individuals (Y) involved in the incident had
forgotten to bring along something. X was quick to suggest a way in which Y could
still partake in this historic moment. This explains the asymmetry in the incident.

Black Salute by Tommie Smith and John Carlos
during the 1968 Mexico Olympics.
X is the Australian athlete Peter Norman (who
finished 2nd).
Carlos and Smith had intended to bring black
gloves to the event to protest, but Carlos forgot
his. So Norman suggested Carlos to wear Smith's
left-handed glove. Hence, Carlos raised his left
hand as opposed to his right, differing from the
traditional Black Power salute and causing the
asymmetry.

In 2002, lecturers and students from the University of Plymouth MediaLab Arts
course used a £2,000 grant from the Arts Council for a project which they said was
intended 'more as performance art than scientific experiment'.

_______ economy is a simple framework used to study some fundamental issues in
economics. There is only one economic agent in the model who is cut off from
the rest of the world. The agent acts both as a producer to maximise profits, as
well as consumer to maximise his utility.
The possibility of trade can be introduced by adding another person to the
economy whom the agent knows. Similar to the choices that households
(suppliers of labour) face, the agent has only two activities to participate in – earn
income or pass his time in leisure.

In a certain mid-1800s coming-of-age novel, X has two nicknames, <<a shorter

nineteenth century. This can be confusing for a few reasons, especially when X has
a daughter of her own, names her X, and calls her "Daisy." We also learn that X's
mother is named X, too – maybe that's why she goes by "Marmee," which sounds
halfway between "Mommy" and X. So there are actually three Xs, grandmother,

nickname for a stop and search law enacted in 1824, that gained its moniker in the
early-to-mid 1900s. It gave British law enforcement the power to search and
potentially arrest people who they believed were up to no good.
However, the shortening of the word first took place in England and Wales as far
back as the 1930s as police jargon. Instead of using it as a descriptor, like “that
person is __,” British cops would use the abbreviation to refer to the discovery of
crucial evidence or information. The expression is still used colloquially today and is
