Quiz-5
Hello all,
I begin with apologies for being dormant(or call me de-funct) for last 5 months..Was actually caught by certain other things and couldnot give time to maintain my own quiz-blog.
Now that the college is over and I have thought of continuing with my quiz doses...I will be giving 3 days for each of my posts.Hope to receive your replies by that time....
so this post consists of 5 questions.The replies have to be sent to igknowrence.inc@gmail.com
before 26th May,2008.
Here I begin,
1.
X was born in Houston, Texas and raised in Blue Springs, Missouri.His interest in music began early in life; he received his first guitar at the age of 2. He began singing in second grade, when his elementary school music teacher gave him a solo in a school choir performance. He proceeded to perform in virtually every Christmas and PTA program.He also participated in choir and drama programs in middle school and high school. At Blue Springs South High School, he performed in musicals, including The Music Man, West Side Story, and Singin' in the Rain.He had also been an avid baseball player during high school. After losing interest in sports, he focused more on music. He earned a theater scholarship to the University of Central Missouri, but he abandoned theater after two semesters, graduating from the school in 2006 with a degree in graphic design.While in college, he was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa.After his college graduation, he relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma to pursue his career in music, telling his family, "I just want to give myself until I'm 26 years old to get a job."
Whose early life is being talked about? (Think Recent,,very recent)

X was born and brought up in the coastal town of Balasore. He grew up to be an administrator in ex-feudatory states. Enraged by the attempts of the Bengalis to marginalize even replace the Oriya language by Bengali, he took to creative writing rather late. Though he had translated from Sanskrit, wrote poetry, and attempted many forms of literature, he is now known primarily as the father of modern Oriya prose fiction. If either X or his progeny had preserved his short story, “Lachmania” which he had written in the late 1860s, and which was published in the journal Bodhadayini, edited by himself in Balasore, X would certainly been credited with having pioneered the genre in India. But as ill-luck would have it, except for a bare mention in his autobiography, the story cannot be traced, and thus his “Rebati” (1898) is widely recognized as the first Oriya short story. “Rebati” is the story of a young innocent girl whose desire for education is placed in the context of a conservative society in a backward Orissa village, which is hit by the killer epidemic cholera. His other stories are “Patent Medicine”., “Dak Munshi”,”Adharma Bitta” etc.Other than short stories ,X is also known for his novel Chha Maana Atha Guntha ,it is the first Indian novel to deal with the exploitations of landless peasants by the feudal Lord. It was written much before the October revolution of Russia or much before the emerging of Marxist ideas in India.
Who is X?
