THE TRIVIA ROUND

• The origin of “X” is from the Persian word that means, “to fry or roast”.• Nearly all the theories that have been offered to explain how “X”

originated is uncertain. • One version is that the Mughals brought “X” to India which is

completely untrue because it was known even before Babur got here.• Another is that Timur (the Tamerlane of epic poetry) brought “X” with

him when he came to plunder the sub-continent. This is nonsense. If Timur did bring “X”, then he must have brought it from his homeland. But there is no record of “X” existing anywhere outside of India in that era.

• However, the most certain belief is that “X” is an Indian invention, deriving from “Y” which Muslim traders and invaders brought to our country. “Y” is an army dish. When the soldiers set up a camp for the night, the cooks could not be expected to invent elaborate meals. So they preferred a one-pot dish where they cooked rice with whatever meat or fowl was available. Hence originated “Y”.

• Id both “X” and “Y”

X – BIRYANIY- PULAO

• Producer and cinematographer Nariman Irani was in a financial mess when his film Zindagi Zindagi starring Sunil Dutt flopped. He was in debt for Rs 1.2 million and couldn't pay the money off on a cinematographer's salary. When he was doing the cinematography for Manoj Kumar’s major hit Roti Kapdaa Aur Makaan, the film “X”s cast and crew (assistant director Chandra Barot) decided to help him out. They all recommended that he produce another film and that they would participate in its production. They all approached Salim-Javed, who gave them an untitled script that had already been rejected by the entire industry. The film took three-and-a-half years to complete. Before filming was completed, producer Irani died from an accident on the set of another film he was working on. The Lead actress did not take any money for her work in the film. Barot showed the film to his mentor Manoj Kumar, who felt that the film was too tight and needed a song in the midst of the action-filled film, and so “Y” was recorded. The film was released without any promotion on 12 May 1978 and was declared a flop the first week. Within a week, the song “Y” became a big hit, and word of mouth spread, so by the second week, the film's fortunes were reversed and it was declared a blockbuster. The profits from the film were given to Irani's widow to settle her husband's debts.

Historically, it is the most successful club in their country “Y”, having won 59 official titles on national and international stage more than any other clubs in their country.

• “X” derives from a Latin word means “Youth” in its native language, however it is ironical since its nicknames are: “The Old Lady”, “The Girlfriend of “Y””, “Madam”, “The White Blacks”, “The Zebras”, “The Killer Lady”, “The Hunchback”.

• On 10 September 2015, “X” officially announced a new project called JKids for its junior supporters on its website.

• “X” famously owned a “Y” 250GT model, which he took in to be serviced at the Maranello headquarters after realizing that the clutch was identical to the one being used on his production line.

• He politely asked “Y” for a replacement part, who replied, "You're just a silly tractor manufacturer, how could you possibly know anything about sports cars?" Like any red blooded countrymen, he spit on the floor, walked out and started designing his own sports car. Four months later he unveiled the “X” 350GTV. Story behind the formation of “X” and “Y”.

• Id “X” and “Y”

• On his visit to India Romain Rolland met Rabindranath Tagore and asked him, “Where do I start in order to know about India?”

• RN Tagore replied: “If you want to know about India, know about “Y” first”. And so did Rolland, and after knowing about “Y”, he was fascinated about this mans nobility, greatness, wisdom and knowledge and particularly about one of his conquests in US soil.

Kant states in his Critique of Pure Reason that people come to know and explore our world through synthetic means (language, etc.), and thus this makes it rather difficult to discern truth from falsely perceived views. This means we ourselves are our own agents of deceit, and so in order for one to know truth, one must choose to openly pursue truth.

The eldest, Goneril, speaks first, declaring her love for her father in fulsome terms. Moved by her flattery he proceeds to grant to Goneril her share as soon as she's finished her declaration. He then awards to Regan her share as soon as she has spoken. When it is finally the turn of his youngest daughter, Cordelia, at first she refuses to say anything ("Nothing, my Lord") and then declares there is nothing to compare her love to, nor words to properly express it; she speaks honestly but bluntly, which infuriates him. In his anger he disinherits Cordelia and divides her share between Regan and Goneril. This starts the 1st of many consequences that follow throughout the play that brings tragedy to all.”
