Pissed between the 2 gigantic names of indian subcontinent
which are more famous and known. But, this 'X' tries to built
it's own legacy not by building upon someone else's name,
but forging it's own name in the history books.
Situated amidst the lush green mountain ranges of
ARAVALLI, this 'X' battles out the question of it's identity in
the circuit, but the days are not far; when this 'X' will gain it's
own name & recognition to build upon it's own legacy.
