     B(pic 2)

     E (pic 5)



     F (pic 6)

Q) The person in he pic 1  (A) wrote the book X based on which the person in the pic 5 (E) made the movie of same name X, (E) also directed the classic movie Y based on the life of F (pic 6). 
The author A (pic 1) was a cult figure and was quite popular among beatniks and hippies, infact he along with his group Z went several cross-country trips in his bus B (pic 2). B was painted in what can be described as a Dayglo fashion, according to the group Z these were the trips they took for self-realisation where they experimented with LSD and other psychedelic drugs**. The account of their trips has been vivdly given in a book (C) whose cover is shown in pic (3) and C was written by J,which made him quite a literary star.

The reel-version of (C) is expected to be release this year which will be  directed by K.  This acclaimed director K who has been long associated with beat-generation authors also made the oscar-winning movie based on the life of D(pic 4). D was assassinated in late 70's.

G(pic 7) is the indian director who made the movie L which was the remake of X, L failed at the box -office but G has delivered several hits and is known for different genres of movies.

The tradition of building X dates back to ancient Rome, the only ancient author who discussed X was Pliny the Elder, In its simplest form X consists of an attic on which a statue can be mounted, the romans decorated the structure with carvings, winged female figures. By the second century Romans began to build X to commemorate other events. One of the X was commissioned by Y in 1806 which still stands at Paris. the first of its kind in India was built by Z, Z is listed on the BSE.
