thesingu raaja .. :)

Perhaps the most enduring legend in Tamil culture was that of the tragic tale of Raja X, popularly known in Tamil as Thesingu Raasan. The true life story of X and his general Mehboob Khan (aka Maavuthukaran), who were friends, has inspired many poems, street plays, and countless other stories. Son of ________, he revolted against the Nawab of Arcot, and was defeated and killed in the war that followed. Though _______ became a part of the Nawab's territory in 1714 the young and courageous X became a legend and his life, love and brave but tragic end were eulogised in various ballads. X??
In music, the dominant 7 # 9 chord, now known among guitarists as the (a guys name comes here) chord, or the (a song comes here) chord, is an extended dominant chord using the sharpened or augmented ninth, named for guitarist (same name) . The sharp ninth and other complex voicings built on the dominant seventh had long been used in jazz and jazz harmony, but (that guy from before)'s use of it - particularly in his song "(adhe dha)" - popularized the chord's use in pop music.

song has something to do with inebriation in bangalore.... not the lyrics but the name itself...

short and zimble

1)X made his debut against WI in 1996. X and Y are often known to have bet with each other about which one of them will reach their half century first and in an entirely unforeseen circumstances Y beat X to the mark, though both happened in the same innings. X would later go on to make a double. That however prove to be his last test innings. Id.

2) In a unique sponsorship issue, X's sponsorship of Y has come under increasing scrutiny in Y's country. This is because of the belief that because kids look up at Y's players and therefore Y's sponsorship of X was causing children to indulge in unhealthy eating practices. Id again.

Jagdgeschwader 1 was formed in World War I, and was a composite fighter group made up of four squadrons, originally comprised of Jastas 4, 6, 10 & 11, on June 24, 1917 with X as commander. JG 1 became known as the _______________ because its fighter planes were painted in bright and distinctive color schemes for easy identification during dogfights. JG 1 and its supporting logistical infrastructure travelled by train to whatever part of the front-line they were needed, often at short notice. After X's death in April 1918, Hauptmann Wilhelm Reinhard became JG 1 Commanding Officer. After Reinhard was killed in a flying accident Oberleutnant Hermann Göring became JG 1's third and last commander of the war. From June 1917 until November 1918, JG 1 claimed 644 Allied aircraft destroyed, 52 pilots killed.
