Trivial.............

The question may seem to be vague but its very easy to crack if you follow the clues

the question goes like this

In 1919 a group of labourers from North Arcot district brought X with them. They placed it under a neem tree adjoining military barracks. A commander of British troops took strong objection to this. He ordered removal of X. But he changed his mind after meeting with an accident the same day. X was allowed to stay.

Thereafter, the number of worshippers swelled day by day, and a small shelter was provided for the X. Drivers of various vehicles firmly believed that X could protect them against accidents, and hence they fondly termed him Y. The name came to stay.

Master Technology Supply Chain


A X, usually on bicycle, collects Ys from homes or from the Y makers. The Ys have some sort of distinguishing mark on them, such as a color or symbol. The X then takes them to a designated sorting place, where he and other collecting Xs sort (and sometimes bundle) the Ys into groups. The grouped boxes are put in the coaches of train, with markings to identify the destination of the Y .

The markings include the rail station to unload the Ys to the building address where the Y has to be delivered.At each station, Ys are handed over to a local X , who delivers them. It has been recognized since 2002 to be one of the most reliable supply chains in the world, after being given a six sigma rating by Forbes Magazine.

Although the service remains essentially low-tech, the X have started to embrace technology, and now allow booking for delivery through SMS An on-line poll on the web site ensures that customer feedback is given pride of place. The success of the system depends on teamwork and time management.

X form links in the extensive delivery chain, that there is no system of documentation at all. A simple colour coding system doubles as an ID system for the destination and recipient. There are no multiple elaborate layers of management either — just three layers.


Id X and Y above



The answer is

X-Dabbawallahs

Y-Dabbas or lunch boxes

Back to square one

After one set of 10 ques I revert back to one question a day format

Here after there will be a set of 10 ques for a week regularly with one question a day

A set of X s consists of a wooden figure which separates, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on. The number of nested figures is traditionally at least five, but can be much more, up to several dozen with sufficiently fine craftsmanship. Modern dolls often yield an odd number of figures but this is not an absolute rule; the original set, for instance, had an even number. The form is approximately cylindrical, with a rounded top for the head, tapering toward the bottom, with little or no protruding features; the dolls have no hands (except those that are painted). Traditionally the outer layer is a woman, dressed in a sarafan. The figures inside may be of either gender; the smallest, innermost doll is typically a baby lathed from a single small piece of wood (and hence non-opening). The artistry is in the painting of each doll, which can be extremely elaborate. Xs are also called Y .Id X or Y or both


The answer is Matryoshka Dolls or Babushka dolls

Yummy!!!!!!!!!!

X is lunch, or any light meal. It originated in British India , and is today found primarily in Indian English, The word originated when Indian custom superseded the British practice of an afternoon dinner, leading to a new word for the afternoon meal.It is derived from the obsolete English slang “Xing”, for "taking a little drink or sip". When used for "lunch"; it is not necessarily a light meal. There are many eateries in Bangalore and Mysore called "Y" which serve X. The word Y has now come to mean X in this area. The movie Breakfast at Y's is to have supposedly caused this confusion and word-transfer.

U might have used this

A X may be a sentence, a paragraph, or occasionally many paragraphs added, often hastily and incidentally, after the signature of a letter or (sometimes) the main body of an essay or book. In a book or essay, a more carefully-composed addition (e.g., for a second edition) is called an afterword. An afterword, not usually called a X, is written in response to critical remarks on the first edition. The word "X" has, poetically, been used to refer to any sort of addendum to some main work, even if not attached to a main work, as in Soeren Kierkegaard's book titled Concluding Unscientific X


The answer is P.S.(Postscript) a great crack by Abhinav
