1. The legend goes that When X won the tournament in 1911 and was returning with the trophy,
a passerby pointed to the UNion Jack atop the fort William and asked - "When will that come
down ? " One of the team member replied that " It will come down when X will win the shield
again."
Incidentally X won their next shield in 1947- the year of Indian Independence!.
Egaro, the immortal eleven

2. X means 'Quick' or 'ending of farness'. It is colored in bold flourescent colors with
abstract paintings. It is based on the color scheme of the paintings of Y who flagged off
the first X on Sept 19, 2009.

3. X is a mechanical toy created for the ruler of the Kingdom of Y in India. The carved and
painted wood casing represents a tiger savaging a near life-size European man. Mechanisms
inside the tiger and man's bodies make one hand of the man move, emit a wailing sound from
his mouth and grunts from the tiger. In addition a flap on the side of the tiger folds down
to reveal the keyboard of a small pipe organ with 18 notes. This was created for Y and makes
use of his personal emblem of the tiger and expresses his hatred of his enemy, the British
of the East India Company. Add Pic also

Flop Show has a distinctive opening sequence. It starts off with a dedication to those whom
the specific episode is poking fun at. This is followed by the title song "Flop Show", which
mocks the show itself as being misdirected. It features most of the main cast collectively
playing musical instruments as a band. Jaspal Bhatti appears as an eye-patch wearing,
menacing looking director. The other cast members are dressed variously as a police
inspector, a doctor, a peon, etc.
All 10 episodes of Flop Show are satires done on socio-cultural problems of the common man.
The show was immensely popular and still gets repeated re-runs on various Doordarshan
channels.

10. On August 8, 1942, Mahatma Gandhi called for immediate independence and the All India

Congress Committee passed the Quit India resolution at the Bombay session. The government
responded by arresting the major leaders and locking them in an undisclosed place and thus
tried to pre-empt the movement from success. A young woman presided over the remainder of
the session on 9 August and hoisted the Congress flag at the Gowalia Tank maidan. This
marked the commencement of the movement. She is known as the face of the QUit India movement and also as Grand Old Lady of India.

15. X is credited with the invention of the first wireless detection device and the discovery of millimetre length electromagnetic waves and considered a pioneer in the field
of biophysics. IEEE named him one of the fathers of radio science. X was averse/not
interested in patenting his inventions.
Y spoke to him and tried to convince him to patent his inventions, but X refused, so Y made
copies of this invention and carried it with him to USA. Y asked one of his followers to file
the patent for the invention in absence of X. X was the first person from the Indian
subcontinent to receive a US patent, in 1904.

16. His teachers in college were Jagadish Chandra Bose and Prafulla Chandra Roy. He had
worked with Louis de Broglie, Marie Curie, and Einstein. X translated Eintein's Theory of
Relativity to English.While giving a lecture, X discovered a result that he published in a paper. It was not published citing it was just a case of simple mistake. X then wrote to Einstein who agreed with him. Einstein then sent his won paper in support of X and asked them to publish it
together. It is known as X-Einstein statistics and led to a phenomenon called X-Einstein
condensate.
In particle physics, subatomic particles that obey X–Einstein statistics was named after X.

17. On the main gateway an islamic inscription written in persian reads "Jesus, Son of Mary
(peace be upon them) said: 'The world is a Bridge, pass over it, but build no houses upon
it. He who hopes for a day, may hope for eternity; but the World endures but an hour. Spend
it in prayer for the rest is unseen.'"
Where?

recall these ideas in connection with my scheme of Research Institute of Science for India,
of which you have doubtless heard or read
Impressed by Vivekananda's views on science and leadership abilities, Tata wanted him to

19. Traditionally, they were snake handlers. The dance movements and the costumes of their
community bear a resemblance to that of the serpents. They are also known as Sapera, Jogira
or Jogi. Male participants take care of the musical part of the dance.
The dancers (mainly females) wear long black skirts embroidered with silver ribbons. As they
spin in a circle, their bodies sway acrobatically, sinuously to the accompaniment of the
Pungi, the Dufli and the plaintive notes of the "been", the wooden instrument of the snake
charmers. As the beat increases to such high pitch, free flowing voice, while others join in
the dance. Their dance movement resembles that of the snakes. They have found pride of place
in the UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
