The X museum in the city Y was never originally one of its kind as it was built as a
fortress in 12th century and turned into a royal palace in 16th century.
It is said that it would actually take you 100 days to see every piece of art in this
museum if you spend 30 sec at each one.During World War II, the Nazis used it as
a storeroom for stolen art.
Interestingly, its branch or preferably a museum sharing the same name was
inaugurated in UAE as a part of thirty year agreement between UAE and the
government of the country of Y.In addition, UAE paid US$ 525M to that govt. just
to have the same name as X. Thus, the president of the country of Y quoted, “The
X of desert and light will bring new breathe to the Gulf countries under political
tension.”

Kulcha
Why not naan?
Kulcha are Indian flatbreads similar to naan, but the key
difference between them is that they are made using maida
or a refined white flour whereas naan tends to be made with
a wheat flour. Naan dough is leavened with yoghurt and yeast
to make it soft and light, whereas Kulcha dough is not.
Kulcha are speciality flaky breads, they tend to be stuffed with
delicious soft potatoes and spices.
Also , the first recorded history of Naan found in the notes of
the Indo-Persian poet Amir Kushrau, dates this unleavened
bread to 1300 AD

The reason behind the origin of this science has its roots in Hindu mythology.So there
was this demon who worshipped Lord Brahma for years and got several boons.As a
consequence, his power grew to such an extent that he attacked the Devas in an attempt
to consume their energies.When the Devas approached Brahma for help, he suggested to
wage a war with him. During the fight, the demon was pushed back to Earth and he fell
flat on his back with his legs pointing towards South West and head towards North
East.To kill him, all the devas jumped on his body and sat on his different organs, while
Brahma sat on the middle of his body and thus killed him.So Nirrti, goddess of darkness,
as mentioned in the book The Mahavidyas by David Kinsley, sat on his feet while Ishan,
god of both knowledge and wealth reside on his head.
What is this science or name of demon which many people still follow in India as well as
some parts of abroad(in other forms)?

The bridges on the banknotes were fictional and imaginary until 2013 when the Dutch designer
Robin Stam thought it would be fun to make them real so he built all the bridges in a town named
Spijkenisse,Netherlands.
Why were the bridges fictional?
As there were only seven banknotes and 19 eurozone states, displaying actual existing bridges
would favor certain countries over others, so fictional bridges were used.

A Swedish fintech Company launched a new card in
2019 in collaboration with MasterCard and UN
Climate Change Secretariat to address the
consumption of X impacting our planet.
So whenever you purchase, the system pulls the
category code of a merchant that classifies it as a
particular kind of store, then makes a calculation
based on the general X footprint of the industry,
whether you’re buying something from a fast-food
joint, a clothing store, or an airline. And then it limits
your transactions not for exceeding your financial
limit but annual X limit.
Id X? Bonus points for naming the card.
