Well, hello guys this is my 1st post at gyaan.in, "the" quizzing site for India. Ive been observing things over here since the past few years but havent partisipated at thiss forum.I was a part of the quizzing circuit at kolkata ( lakshmipat singhania academy- for those at cal) and right now im in bhubaneshwar.So here, my first set of questions:-

1. Connect Major Dhyanchand,Jyoti Rao Scindia and Sachin Tendulkar.

2.X (January 28, 1884 – March 24, 1962) was a Swiss physicist, inventor and explorer. Showing an intense interest in science as a child, he attended the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and became a professor of physics in Brussels at the Free University of Brussels. In 1930, an interest in ballooning, and a curiosity about the upper atmosphere led him to design a spherical, pressurized aluminum gondola that would allow ascent to great altitude without requiring a pressure suit. X has inspired something/someone in the field of entertainment. Identify X and what/who he has inspired.

hope u like it.
