The term X comes from the French term 'bon ___________', which

signifies sophistication and appreciation for the good things in life.Which Landmark in Coimbatore

gets its name from this ?

2

Vivanta from Bon vivant

X was a giant conglomerate which operated ruthlessly as a major international player in a number of markets;

including pharmaceuticals and medical equipment along with top-secret operations utilizing genetic engineering and biological weaponry. The company also had a more

benevolent public face for the ignorant masses, producing cosmetics, consumer products and foods.

X was founded in 1968 by Lord Oswell E. Spencer; Sir Edward Ashford and Dr. James Marcus after the

discovery of the Progenitor virus the previous year. Another starting member, though not considered a co-founder, was Marcus' student Brandon Bailey, who was

with Marcus and Spencer when they first discovered the Stairway of the Sun flower.

He is Omar Borkan al Gala.He is a poet , photographer and

an actor from Dubai.He recently visited Saudi Arabia for Jandriyah festival.But he

was kicked out of the festival and sent back to Dubai

though he didn’t commit a sin.Why ?

6

He looked sexy !

The Wikipedia article for famous personality X says that he was born august 7 or 8, 1966.

When X was quizzed as to what his actual birth date was, he said “I was born on August 7th, 1966, at around 11:30PM... according to my mother, who should know. But somehow, when the doctor prepared

my birth certificate, he put August 8th, 1966. Even though my parents signed it, they didn't notice it. We only found out when I

was 15 and went on my birthday (the 7th!) to get my driving permit. You can imagine my disappointment when I was sent home.

Hence, all X’s legal documents list his date of birth as 8th august. Wikipedia's policies for inclusion of information focuses on

verifiability, not truth. Passports, birth certificates, etc. fall into the first category, even if they are not correct. Hence the listing on X’s

page.
