Michael Vaughan describes 'X' as :-
" Whether on the front or back foot, he plays well on the on- and offside. He’s not Brian Lara or Ricky Ponting in terms of aggression or
flair but he is rock solid and, added to that, has every shot in the
book. He knows when to grind it out or move up through the gears.
Some people think he could move through the gears quicker when
batting, and that is probably a fair argument on occasions, but the
majority of the time he knows what he can do at the crease and
believes his team has a better chance of winning if he stays there."
Give me X.

29. 9.
Although, the term has obscure origins, it is likely that it
derives its meaning from objectification of sexually
attractive women. This is because in filmy Mumbai, it
derives from a word slang meaning sexy woman.
The classic meaning of the term refers to anything with
racy imagery and suggestive vocabulary.
What term?

Brian Eno recollects-- The thing from the agency said, "We want a
piece of music that is inspiring, universal, blah-blah, da-da-da,
optimistic, futuristic, sentimental, emotional," this whole list of
adjectives, and then at the bottom it said "and it must be 3.25
seconds long”.
I thought this was so funny and an amazing thought to actually try to
make a little piece of music. It's like making a tiny little jewel.
In fact, I made 84 pieces. I got completely into this world of tiny, tiny
little pieces of music. Then when I'd finished that and I went back to
working with pieces that were like three minutes long, it seemed
like oceans of time."

An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an

and told the kids that whoever got there first won
the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all
took each others hands and ran together, then sat
together enjoying their treats. When he asked them
why they had run like that as one could have had all
the fruits for himself they said: ''____________, how
can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?''

38. 12*. ID X. Pic in next slide
X is an ambitious mission by ESA to chart a 3-D map of our
Galaxy, the Milky Way, in the process revealing the
composition, formation and evolution of the Galaxy. It will
provide unprecedented positional and radial velocity
measurements with the accuracies needed to produce a
stereoscopic and kinematic census of about one billion stars
in our Galaxy.
Understandably, the mission was so named to pay respect to
the great mother of all: the primal Greek Mother Goddess;
creator and giver of birth to the Earth and all the Universe; the
heavenly gods, the Titans and the Giants.

Dewang Mehta (August 10, 1962-12 April 2001) was the
head of NASSCOM from 1991 to 2001. He is credited

________ are particularly popular among girls and young
women. Sociologist Ben Agger describes the trend as "the
male gaze gone viral", and sociologist and women's studies
professor Gail Dines links it to the rise of porn culture and
the idea that "there's only one way to visibility, and that's
fuckability.” Writer Andrew Keen has pointed out that
while _________ are often intended to give the
photographer control over how their image is presented,
posting images publicly may have the opposite effect—
dramatically so in the case of revenge porn, where exlovers post sexually explicit photographs to exact revenge
or humiliate their former lovers.
