X developed by Dennis Austin and Thomas
Rudkin of Forethought, Inc. In 1987, it was
renamed to X due to problems with

Robert Gaskins. In August of the same

million USD ($28.8 million in present-day terms
and became Yâs Graphics Business Unit, which

X is an uninterested unemployed middle aged male who can
apparently weave adventures almost at the drop of a hat. X
adventures cover themes ranging from crime, human ingenuity,
science, history, geography, metaphysics and philosophy. It is
obvious that while X himself has not been involved in any of the
adventures he claims to have taken part in, he is certainly a
learned man with an exceptional gift for storytelling. The stories
are notably accurate from a scientific point of view. X may be
seen as Y's parody or caricature of the Bengali urban middle class
celibate intellectual, who is at home in the world of books and
knowledge,the older X although not abhorring the opposite sex, is
not entirely at ease with them either. He stays at an all-male
hostel and maintains an almost frugal existence. X is a selfeducated person and his education is mostly due to time spent at
the local libraries. In a way, it could be argued that these stories
also reflect larger patterns of social transformations.Id X?

However, it was never released for the Ultra

X was published in 1865, three years after the Reverend Charles
Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed

The journey began at Folly Bridge near Oxford and ended five
miles away in the village of Godstow During the trip the Reverend
Dodgson told the girls a story that featured a bored little girl named
X who goes looking for an adventure. The girls loved it, and X
Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. He began writing the
manuscript of the story the next day, although that earliest version
no longer exists. The girls and Dodgson took another boat trip a
month later when he elaborated the plot to the story ofX, and in
November he began working on the manuscript in earnest.Id X?

A traditional Tamil concept, X was first depicted as Y in the
famous Chola bronzes and sculptures of Chidambaram. The
dance of X in Tillai, the traditional name for Chidambaram,
forms the motif for all the depictions of X as Y. He is also
known as "Sabesan" which splits as "Sabayil aadum eesan"
in Tamil which means "The Lord who dances on the dais".
The form is present in most X temples in South India, and is
the prime deity in the famous Thillai Y Temple at
Chidambaram. The sculpture is usually made in bronze, with
X dancing in an aureole of flames, lifting his left leg (or in
rare cases, the right leg) and balancing over a demon or
dwarf (Apasmara) who symbolizes ignorance. It is a well
known sculptural symbol in India and popularly used as a

Upanishad, Narada is instructed by Brahma (in the
translation of K. N. Aiyar): Hearken to that which all
Shrutis (the Vedas) keep secret and hidden, through
which one may cross the Samsara (mundane existence)
of Kali. He shakes off (the evil effects of) Kali through the
mere uttering of the name of Lord Narayana, who is the

Narayana, and Brahma replies. X are destructive of the
evil effects of Kali. No better means than this is to be

demonstrating the transmission of moving silhouette images
in London in 1925, and of moving, monochromatic images in
