2. In his recent Anthology X stresses, "The song Y has nothing to do with the year as one might believe".That certainly appears to be true considering
X was only 10 years then during the year referenced in the song. Rather X insisted that it was just a reference to the sex position. He calls it
" double entendre, it's about sex ". Critics ofcourse insist that the song has more to offer just like most other songs which X composed in the mid
eighties. ".IDENTIFY X,Y

3. Only one of two hindi films to have made it into the " 1001 films to see b4 u die" the title of this movie has been taken from a popular sound track of

8. Αρχαίο Πνεύμ' αθάνατο, αγνέ πατέρα
του ωραίου, του μεγάλου και τ'αληθινού,
κατέβα, φανερώσου κι άστραψ'εδώ πέρα
στην δόξα της δικής σου γης και τ'ουρανού.
Στο δρόμο και στο πάλεμα και στο λιθάρι,
στων ευγενών Αγώνων λάμψε την ορμή,
και με τ' αμάραντο στεφάνωσε κλωνάρι
και σιδερένιο πλάσε κι άξιο το κορμί.
Κάμποι, βουνά και θάλασσες φέγγουν μαζί σου
σαν ένας λευκοπόρφυρος μέγας ναός,
και τρέχει στο ναό εδώ, προσκυνητής σου,
Αρχαίο Πνεύμ' αθάνατο, κάθε λαός.

It's not a typo error...then Wat is it ??

9. X was invented in the state of Orissa where it had been a traditional dish for centuries. The recipe for making X eventually spread from Orissa
to Y.This was during the Y's renaissance when brahmin cooks from Orissa, especially from Puri, were routinely employed in richer households.They were famed
for their culinary skills and commonly referred to as Ude Thakurs (Oriya brahmin-cooks). As a result, many Oriya delicacies got incorporated . It is widely
believed that in 1868 somebody modified the original recipe to extend the shelf life of the highly perishable dish and make it marketable. This
modification made X slightly tougher but compromised on the dish's taste. Nevertheless, the man earned the sobriquet, "X's Columbus" within local circles.
Identify X and Y.
