SWEET QUIZZES ARE MADE OF THIS

Here's to our wives and girlfriends... may they never meet! - Groucho Marx

Hey folks, hope you all are doing well with your assignments; that 'short, nasty and brutish' assignments that one could ever imagined...

Moving away from assignments, you people really need to take sometime to watch movies as well, if you can. I recently saw 'Seven Pounds', starring Will Smith, and it is an awesome, fabulous movie, highly recommended by Lien for viewing. He is so like me, me thought. But that is not the reason why I recommend it. I haven't seen such movie, after a long time. That's too much of me to sound like Mayank Sekhar or Subhash Jha or Khalid Mohammad. Watch it if you can...please...lols...

This time our quiz will be to identify the person or the identity. It will mainly be denoted in X and Y and Z. Its simple. You get X and Y and Z, then you get your answers.
Our time starts again now...

1) X was India’s representative at Bretton Woods Conference which led to the formation of IMF and World Bank. X was also a minister in Nehru’s cabinet from 1950 to 1956 but resigned in protest. X was awarded the Magsaysay award in 1959 for distinguished Government Service. Identify X.

2) The term ‘X’ is an agreement between a company and an employee (usually upper executive) specifying that the employee will receive certain significant benefits if employment is terminated. The first known use of ‘X’ dates back to when creditors sought to oust Y from control of Z airlines. The creditors provided Charles Tillinghast an employment contract dubbed an ‘X’ with protection against the almost definite job loss Tillinghast would have faced if Y had successfully maintained control of Z. The use of ‘X’ has significantly increased in 2008 due to the global economic recession, especially being used by news media and in the 2008 Presidential Debates. What are X, Y & Z?
With Recession setting in and with no signs of setting out, I think this is worth knowing, because one day, sooner or later we are going to be employed...

3) It is usually made of rubber, wood and aluminum. In Afghanistan, craftsmen hammer it together using spent artillery shells. In Cambodia, part of it's rubber components are scavenged from truck tyres.
The story behind the very first design is that a sculptor riding his bicycle got a flat tyre and went to a repairman. The repairman was busy retreading a truck tire with vulcanized rubber, and seeing this, the sculptor got his idea for the ___________.

4) Who/What does this window in a college in Cambridge commemorate?
