India. The Pakistani city of Y
was founded by and named
after him. Id X & Y.
Clue: Major X is noted for having
written a poem titled "Xabad" (i.e.
Y), before his return to Britain, in
which he wrote of his fondness
for the town and his sadness at
having to leave it.

B
X is any instance in which this performance
convention, having been adopted more generally in
the drama, is violated. This can be done through
either directly referencing the audience, the play as a

boats, and sheaves of corn in their hands, on the arch signify progress in agri-

structure was constructed by

referred to as Bijoy Toran, but it is
still popular by it's previous name.

In chemistry, a carbene is a molecule containing a neutral
carbon atom with a valence of two and two unshared

There has been a reference of X in Carbonyl group section
of the Morrison and Boyd Organic Chemistry book.
Id X.

subspecies of the X (Dromaius novaehollandiae).

including cancer and arthritis .
Commercial X oil supplements are not standardized and vary widely
in their potency. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration highlighted
X oil in a 2009 article on "How to Spot Health Fraud," pointing out
that many "pure X oil" products are unapproved drugs.

X is an American popular culture and a meme expression that became
popular during World War II; it is typically seen in graffiti.

phrase "X" on captured American equipment. This began leading Adolf
Hitler to believe that Y could be the name or codename of a high-level
Allied spy. At the time of the Potsdam Conference in 1945, it was rumored
that Stalin found "X" written in the VIPs' bathroom, prompting him to ask
his aides who Y was.

X is the name of Mr. Heathcliff's dwelling, "Y" being a
significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the
atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in
stormy weather. Pure, bracing ventilation they must
have up there at all times, indeed. One may guess the
power of the north wind blowing over the edge by the
excessive slant of a few stunted firs at the end of the
house, and by a range of gaunt thorns all stretching
their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun.
Id X.

to the cyclical loss and gain of weight, resembling
the up-down motion of a X. In this process, the

weight loss but is unsuccessful in maintaining
the loss long-term and begins to gain the weight
back. The dieter then seeks to lose the regained
weight, and the cycle begins again.
