Q1 I am from Punjab. I got a central government job inKarnataka and I have to choose from Mandya, Tumkur and Puttur cities. Whichcity should I prefer among these? A1 Vibhakar T S Know aboutKarnataka. Wed Tumakuru is a better option. It's a district headquarter (Mandya too is). It'sproximity to Bengaluru makes it a place to look forward. The development ishappening at a good pace. Overall, well connected through road and railway networks. There are good places to hangout as well, inand around the city. The other two mentioned places, Mandya and Putturu, arenot that developed as Tumakuru. Q2 If Mahabharata is real, then why can't we find any bonesof the 4 million soldiers in Kurukshetra? A2 Vishnu Kumar IAM ThatIAM9h Alright, let us look at what happened during the 18 days of the war. So, at the end of each day ofbattle, representatives from both sides would do a check and cremate the bodiesritually and by the next morning sunrise have theashes immersed in the nearest water body.Therefore, the bodily remains are notavailable. Q3 What is the best thing you see in Indian villages? A3 Sahil Phatangare Ilove india Thu Recently an interesting practice came to my notice.In my father's sidevillage, whenever there is a function of any kind. Daughter's marriage. Politicalgatherings. Someone's deathfuneral. Or large-scale parties. In all these events, Food isprepared in huge quantities to serve the guest. Always some portions of cooked food remain at the end of the ceremony. I don't know in cities what people do with it, what I saw in my village was that food is been givento government school children as a mid-day meal. A village is a small community, all houses know the headmaster of theschool. Before function, an informal deal is done. Today at Xyz time we willprovide you with the food of this quantity. All cost is bear by organizersonly, like transport, paper plates, etc. A major portion of the remaining food goes to school, while some portion isdistributed among beggars who sit outside temples. Food which is given is not something fancy, simply it consists of lentilsgravy, rice, a sweet item. It's a practice that I am seeing since childhood, but I never thought ofit in this sense. This practice must be applied to cities, plus there are NGOs like theRobinhood army who are already involved in such things. Also, in villages, you don't see plastic garbage on the streets. There is a dedicated pits,where every person of house deep garbage. Latter it is used to create manure. People may argue like, the village population is low so their streets areclean.I don't think it is right, where ever a human goes it destroys nature bypolluting it. In the 2000s where people used to blame villages on open sanitation andorthodox practices. Nowadays mentalities are pretty changed, with good internet penetrationand services like digital transactions getting available. Q4 What are the benefits of drinking cold water early in themorning? A4 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals Thu Water makes up 60% of an adult male's body weight and 50% of an adultfemale's body weight. If the human body loses 15% ofits water, it is usually fatal. Research in the International Journal of Clinical and ExperimentalMedicine proves that the human body has the best water absorptionrate when the cold water temperature is 16°C. Therefore, drinking one to twoglasses of cold water around 16°C in the morning is very beneficial to health. At this time, the body's absorption rate of water is the highest, and thespeed is also very fast, coldwater can enter the blood within a few minutes. Adequate water can speed up blood circulation, reduce blood viscosity,reduce blood lipids, improve lipid metabolism, and is very beneficial to thehealth of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular. Adequate water also helps the kidneys work more efficiently and removetoxins and waste through urine. At the same time, cold wateralso regulates body temperature, burns more calories, and reduces the risk ofobesity. Q5 Is vitamin D the only vitamin that a person can getwithout eating any food, or is vitamin D actually not a vitamin, but a hormoneor a steroid hormone? A5 Ray Schilling 32 yrs.medicine, Author of "Prostate Cancer Unmasked"Amazon Wed Vitamin D is a vitamin and hormone. It is closely related to a metabolite of cholesterol, so it is anatural steroid. Vitamin D is important for a functioning immune system andmany other body reactions: Steroid Hormone Vitamin D Unfortunately it is difficult to rely only on food as a source of vitaminD to reach normal blood levels. There is a blood vitamin D level that yourdoctor should order from time to time: Vitamin D: What’s the… The high normal level of 50–80 ng/mL is where your body functions best. Toxic vitamin D levels occur only above 150 ng/mL. The Internet is fullof articles that exaggerate and warn of toxic vitamin D levels. There are manypeople who are poor vitamin D absorbers and 40% of the world population doesnot have the enzymes in the skin to convert a cholesterol metabolite intovitamin D. The bottom line is: get yourvitamin D blood level. Find out where your body stands. This answer is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Q6 What is your 5-minute daily habit that everyone shoulddo? A6 Varenya Penna Consciouslytrying to live consciously Tue Just. Sit. For. 5. Minutes. If you track back to how humans were created, you will see that our mindswere not created to be this fast paced. 5 minutes of scrolling through Instagram, you will see how many differentsubjects of different contexts you see - and it’s not supposed to be for ourbrains. Which is why, Ihave a habit of sitting in silence for 10 minutes. Doing nothing. Just sittingand staring into nothing. This is to give my brain a cool off, where it is not doing anything to doanything. Not even meditate. Just. Sit. For. 5. Minutes. Q7 Why aren't widows allowed to remarry in Hinduism? A7 Ambika Vijay Unapologeticfeminist Updated Feb 4 The scriptures claimed that if a widow preserved her widowed state, shewill go back to the husband (in heaven) Though the scriptures didn’texpressly prohibit widow remarriage, the practice wasn’t preferred. Widowhood was strictly observed among upper castewomen. Remarriages werecommon among the lower castes and Dalits. Skanda Purana gives us insights on how a lot of customs which are stillbeing practiced by old generation Hindu widows came about: Book 4 - Kāśī-khaṇḍa, Section 1 - Pūrvārdha, Chapter 4 - TheCharacteristics of a Chaste Woman[2] 73. After the death of the husband, if a woman preserves her widowedstate (in purity), she goes back to the husband and enjoys heavenly pleasures. 74. The braided tresses of hair of a widow cause disaster to the husband.Hence a woman shall always get her hair shaved off. 75–77As a rule (a widow) should take only a single meal (per day) and nota second meal. She must observe (fast) for three days, consecutively, or forfive days together or for a fortnight. She may observe fast for a whole month.She may perform the expiatory rites of Cāndrāyaṇa, Kṛcchra, Parāka or Taptakṛcchra.Till the life becomes extinct, she must somehow sustain herself with cookedbarley, fruit diet, vegetable dishes or mere milk. 78. A widowed woman lying on a couch causes the downfall of her husband.Hence with a desire for the happiness of her husband she must sleep on bare ground. 79. Anointing and smearing of the body should never be done by a widowedwoman. She must not make use of any type of scents or perfumes. The same chapter shows how and Why widowed came to be regarded asinauspicious: 50. A widow devoid of conjugal bliss and weal is the worst of allinauspicious things. There would be no success in a venture, if one sees awidow (at the outset). 51. A sensible man should avoid such a woman bereft of all conjugal blissand even her blessings, exceptin the case of his (widowed) mother. 102. A widowed lady should spend the months of Vaiśākha, Kārttika andMāgha with such holy vows and observances as these. 103. She should not mount a bullock even when there is danger to life.She should not wear blouses or gaudy garments. 104. A widow who is fond of her husband, should not do anything withoutasking her sons. A widow who is accustomed to observe all these vows andpractices, is considered auspicious. 105. A widow who is chaste and who observes all these pious practices,shall attain the regions of her husband. She shall not be miserable anywhere. This is why Hindu widows until recent centuries shaved their hair andwore white clothes, never adorned themselves. My note- But time has changed.Present days, irrespective of community, if husband die in his early years,remarriages are most common. Q8 If a bad guy pulls off your toenail with pliers, willyour toenail grow back? A8 Claire Jordan Degreein biology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaperFri Yes, but having once been lost the new nail which grows back will beslightly loose and maytear off again easily if knocked the wrong way (which explains how I’ve managedto tear off my left big toenail three times), and it may be a funny shape.

EnergyCosts in Your Home Will Increase Q10 Among all the dictators that ever existed, which one wouldyou deem to be the worst and why? A10 Claire JordanDegree inbiology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaperTue Genghis Khan is estimated to have killed 11% of the humans alive at thattime. That would be equivalent to a modern dictator killing over 800 million people. Worst in terms of personality, possibly the Kims in North Korea. Hitler killed more people but he showed definite signs ofmental illness, paranoia and drug abuse, which to some extent reduiceshis personal responsibility, and Pol Pot, Mao and Stalin probably genuinelythought they were building a better world, although their methods of achievingit were deranged. But the Kims torture, starve and enslave their people purelyto keep their own fat arses in luxury. All the above QA are from Quora website on 12-02- 2022.
