Its name is variously described as having originated from that of a Middle-Eastern city or from that of an Eastern Indian town. Its description is found in works of early arab travellers, as well as that of a very famous later European traveller. It finds use in a wide range of fields, from medicine to photography, and is also associated with a very famous figure of a European aristocracy.

The name of this place became popular, particularly in the Hindi belt, due to a certain kind of activity of its citizens. However, with advancing technology, that kind of activity is perhaps less now, or at least, the urban India does not care to know if that activity continues to this day. This place, which once had palatial houses of rich businessmen, has again gone down to become a relatively poor and neglected place. Name the place.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 23:35, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

X was raised in his early life as a ward of the King of an Indian Princely state after the death of his mother and father. His first film is probably his most famous, earning him the moniker by which he is most commonly referred to. However, It was X's third film that is his first (and perhaps most) critically acclaimed work, and the film went on to win a number of Oscars. Any idea who X might be? rueben_lys ( talk · contribs) 22:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Exactly! Sabu Dastagir, real name Selar Sabu, who earned the moniker "Elephant Boy" for his debut role as Toomai in Robert Flaherty's 1937 movie "The Elephant Boy". The movie was Britain's official entry to the Venice Film Festival in 1938. His second movie was The Drummer, which was also the first in Technicolour for London Films. His third film was The Thief of Baghdad, which is considered his best work, and earned a number of Oscars for its crew. He is also acclaimed for his brief but notable supporting role in the 1946 Powell and Pressburger classic Black Narcissus. During World War II, Sabu enrolled in the US Air Force and flew in the Pacific theatre in a number of missions, eventually earning a Distinguished Flying Cross. Here's more if anybody's interested.

This might be very (very) far fetched, but here goes. Ranjitha is in news currently for the Swami Nityananda scandal, but the swami is attending the Kumbh Mela right now. The first airmail in the world was sent from Allahabad to Naini, and flew over the Kumbh Mela of the time and was witnessed by devotees. The date of this flight was 18 February 1911.

It is a farmers' cooperative manufacturing fertiliser (ammonia), which has also diversified into insurance and has schemes providing free insurance cover to farmers for each bag of fertiliser purchased (security net). Some other strategic investments include the power sector, NCDEX (exchange) and an SEZ at Nellore. And of course, one of Gurgaon's largest crossroads is known as IFFCO Chowk.
