The essence of C is "cutting" (kiru).This is often represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas and a kireji ("cutting word") between them, a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation and colours the manner in which the juxtaposed elements are related.A kigo (seasonal reference), usually drawn from a saijiki, an extensive but defined list of such words. The majority of kigo, but not all, are drawn from the natural world. This, combined with the origins of C , has led to the inaccurate impression that C are necessarily related to nature.

In The Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise, Sumbhajee Angria(in pic), one of the 9 Pirate Lords is portrayed as the Pirate Lord of the Indian Ocean and a Hindu Priest in a part of India, presumably Bombay.

interests in the Indian Ocean during the 18th century, and hence was
alleged by them to be a pirate. Identify this Maratha Navy admiral.

X is featured on the coat-of-arms of Y. Also, in Y-ian mythology, X is the home of the Gods.
What is this Tee depicting? Where would you find the first use of this T-shirt design in popular culture?
When the University of Heidelberg hired Robert X in 1852, the
authorities promised to build him a new laboratory building. Heidelberg
had just begun to install coal-gas street lighting, so the new
laboratory building was also supplied with illuminating gas.
Illumination was one thing; a source of heat for chemical operations
something quite different.
Previous laboratory lamps left much to be
desired regarding economy and simplicity, as well as the quality of the
flame for the lamp, for it was desirable to maximize the temperature and
minimize the luminosity. While his building was still under
construction late in 1854, X suggested certain design principles to the
university’s talented mechanic, Peter Desaga, and asked him to construct
a prototype. By the time the building opened early in 1855, Desaga had
made fifty of these devices for X’s students. X published a description
two years later, and many of his colleagues soon adopted the design.
Identify X and his device.
The first of this type of custom built vehicles was a 1964 Lehmann-Patterson. Today the purpose is served by a Mercedes M class or 600. Sometimes even a ML 430 is used.
The FSC Star is used in Poland, the Seat Panda in Spain, a Ford D series in Ireland and the Mercedes Benz 230G in Germany, all doing the same job.
All of them follow a colour code. Their performance is cut down considerably due to lack of aerodynamic give and addition of polycarbonate and thermoplastic among other things.
Give me the collective name for the vehicles.

The company 'X' was initially set up by M H Hasham _____ as a vegetable oil manufacturer in 1945 in Amalner, Maharashtra producing sunflower Vanaspati oil and soaps. At that time, the company was called _______ _______ Vegetable Products Limited possibly based on it's geographical location. The name was abbreviated to 'X' later.
During the 1970s and 1980s, the company shifted its focus and began to look into business opportunities in a completely different field, which was at nascent stages in India at that time. Consequently 'X' went on to become the first company to market the first indigenous homemade range of certain product from India in 1985.
Interestingly it's initial 1945 business venture still reflects in it's branding today!
