X? Mulky Raghunandana Srinivas Kamath, a Manglorean,

started X as a shop located at Juhu Ville Parle Development (JVPD) scheme.

The journey started in his younger years, while assisting his father, a fruit dealer, when he got his expertise in fruits. Later on, while working with his brother who ran a chain of eateries and served the same product as X, he learnt all about the product. This powerful combination lead to the creation of X.

X has received wide acclaim and has also been featured in the Limca Book of Records. It is now over 25 years in the business and has over 70 outlets in the country.

The term X is a portmanteau derived from Bombay and Y. However, unlike Y, X does not exist as a physical place. Though some deplore the name, arguing that it makes it look

like a poor cousin to Y, X has its own entry in the Oxford English Dictionary.

5 for X, 5 for Y.

Every day thousands of people die. But still the world moves on. Just due to one politician dead, a natural death everyone just goes crazy.. they should know.

We are resilient by force not by choice. When was the last time did anyone show some respect or even a 2mins silence for Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Azad, Sukhdev or any of the people because of whom we r free living Indians...respect is earned not given and definitely not forced.

Today, Mumbai shuts down due to fear not due to respect!!!

In modern architecture, an X is a large open space, often several stories high and having a glazed roof and/or large windows, often situated within an office building and usually located immediately beyond the main entrance doors. They are popular with companies because they give their buildings "a feeling of

space and light", but have been criticised by fire inspectors as they could allow fire to spread to a building's upper stories more quickly.

WHAT IS BEING TALKED ABOUT?

Castella de Aguada is not its proper name. Properly, it should be called Castelo da Aguada, although it seems its Portuguese builders actually called it Forte de Bandorá.

It was built by the Portuguese in 1640 as a watchtower.

The strategic value of the fort was enhanced in 1661 after the Portuguese ceded the seven islands of Bombay that lay to the immediate south to the English.

It lies over several levels, from sea level to an altitude of 24 metres (79 ft).

X has a sheer vertical face and was formed when molten lava was squeezed out of the Earth's clefts during the Mesozoic Era about 65 million years ago.

According to experts, this rare geological phenomenon was the remnants of a ridge and had clusters of vertical columns in nearby area which were quarried off two decades ago. These vertical columns are similar to several others in USA.

X was declared a National Park in 1952 by the Central Government under the Forest Act. In 2007, after years of lobbying by geologists, the hill was declared a Grade II heritage structure by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), and all quarrying and other activities around the monument were prohibited. Over the period of time, X has faced severe erosion problems too.

Atop X, two Hindu temples, set in a small garden, are accessed by a steep carved staircase.
