KR All the above are not any rules or etiquettes standard. They are
good ones. But framed by the modern boys from foreign countries originally
born here; and adopted from west. Suppose one were talking to his employees
only in Malayalam, how will he say? So manners do change by places, eras
and occasions. The best thing before elders is with folded hands and
bending forward with fingers closing the mouth. Can it not be added and the
original writer will adopt it?
Q2 Which fruits should not be eaten together?
KR What about fruit salads with or without tomato?
Q3 How can the universe be so orderly among infinite possibilities?
KR {If you dissolve as much salt as you can in a shallow pan of hot
water - then allow it to cool - and then evaporate - you’ll find that most
of the sodium-chloride molecules that had been bouncing around at random in
the liquid have spontaneously formed perfect cubes - big enough to see
easily with the naked eye. This is “order from chaos”.}
KR: CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD how is this salt in water explaining fairer
things? Verse 6.13.1-2

1-2. [Uddālaka said,] ‘Put this lump of salt into water and come to me in
the morning.’ Śvetaketu did as he was told. Uddālaka said to him, ‘My son,
bring me the salt that you put in the water.’ Śvetaketu looked, but he
could not find it, as the salt had dissolved in the water. [Uddālaka said,]
‘My son, drink the water at the surface.’ [Śvetaketu did that, and Uddālaka
asked,] ‘How does it taste?’ [Śvetaketu replied,] ‘It is saline.’ [Uddālaka
then said:] ‘Drink it from the middle. How does it taste?’ ‘It is saline.’
‘Drink it from the bottom. How does it taste?’ ‘It is saline.’ ‘Throw the
water away and then come to me.’ Śvetaketu did so. The father said to him:
KR Evaporation is the method for extracting common salt from seawater.
The substance of salt is left behind after seawater is heated or
evaporated. Salt is collected and transported via artificial setups for
commercial or industrial uses. Evaporation is used on a large scale to get
common salt from seawater in the process of obtaining salt from seawater.
Seawater is trapped and allowed to stand in shallow lakes. The sun’s heat
evaporates the water in shallow lakes over time, leaving common salt as a
solid. Many salts are dissolved in seawater. The salt formed by evaporation
of ocean water or water from salty lakes is referred to as sea salt. It has
a lower processing level than table salt and contains more trace minerals.
Thus, it is not sample for ORDER FROM CHAOS SINCE ORDER AND CHAOS IS INA
GRAND SCALE WHICH HUMAN IND CANNOT SO EASILY PERCEIVE.
G In the case of the universe, the organizing force is “gravity” pulling
things together - opposed by the electromagnetic forces between atoms
keeping everything from collapsing into a black hole. This is why we have
planets, stars and galaxies….that’s all just gravity. Stars form from
lighter elements - hydrogen and helium - and gravity pulls those elements
together with enough force to cause a fusion reaction that results in
sunlight. Planets form from the heavier elements - iron, carbon and so
forth.
KR: Another misconception Is gravity and force of gravity is
universally the SAME? Is it only akarshana floating the order of space?
There are so many books on GOD IS NOT THE DESIGNER where many facts are
stated. There are books on HE IS THE DESIGNER where some other factors are
stated.
Q4 What are some historical records of the reversal of the Earth's
magnetic field?
KR It is not perfectly explained. Evidences are over the earth
wherever volcanoes, fires eruptions, floods havoc etc had taken place. I
had written about the PRECISSION WHICH TAKES PLACE EVERY 26000 YEARS. The
axis of the earth, changes the north pole pointing towards the stars
towards left once in 26000 years. In that course over a periods poles gets
reversed; north pole turns south and vice versa. In that process magnetic
field also gets altered. It is named as GEOMAGNETIC FIELD CHANGE WHERE THE
SOUTH AND NORTH MAGNETIC FIELD WILL ALSO CHANGE. This is in our scriptures.
Pole star was not Druva or Polaris always. This is a turn of 180 degrees
which takes place roughly around every million years. NASA admitted that so
far 83 times it occurred in 83 million years and several hundred times in
the >100 million years. So New Zealand is not the only place of evidence. I
wrote a place in USA California where gravity is adverse as well as north
and south pole directions in a small spot. Such phenomena exist in some
other parts of earth also.
Q6 What are some mind-blowing facts that sound unreal but are actually
true?
There are no bridges over the Amazon River.
Surprisingly, it took the person who invented the Rubik’s Cube an entire
month to solve it after they created it, and yet the current record in the
world is less than five seconds.
Sunsets are blue on the red planet, Mars. Sunsets are red on the blue
planet, Earth.
Technically, when you’re looking up at the sky, you’re actually looking
“back in time”. For example, the bright star Vega is relatively close to us
at 25 light-years away, so the light we see left the star 25 years ago.
The tallest and largest volcano in the solar system is located on the
deserted planet of Mars, a neighboring planet to Earth. The shield volcano
is named “Olympus Mons”, and is 16 miles (24 kilometers) tall. This means
that this volcano is approximately three times taller than Mount Everest.
There could actually be around 500 million planets that could support life
like Earth can in our galaxy.
KR Yes all are true; but what is there for a surprise?
Q7 Why did Chandragupta Maurya marry Helina? Is Helina responsible for
ending the Mauryan dynasty?
KR Chandra Gupta married as his second wife Helena who was sister of
Seleucus nicator who was killed by her grandson. Morya dynasty went down
only after Ashoka by SUNGA dynasty.

Q2 Which fruits should not be eaten together?
A2 Teamedical, Experienced Medical Team Nov 19
When it comes to eating fruits, it is the best way to enjoy the healthiest
and most natural sources of vitamins and minerals. However, not all fruits
are created equal, and certain combinations don’t necessarily pair well
together. Combining certain fruits can create an imbalance of vitamins and
minerals, as well as produce unpleasant feelings in the body, such as
headaches, stomach aches and other digestive issues. So, what are the
fruits you should avoid eating together?
First and foremost, you should never mix citrus fruits and bananas. Citrus
fruits are acidic and tend to be too harsh on the stomach when eaten in
large doses. Meanwhile, bananas are rich in magnesium and can create an
overload of minerals in the body when paired with acidic fruits. Also, it’s
best to avoid combining watermelon with other fruits, as it contains a lot
of water and can create a very watery texture that doesn’t pair well with
other fruits.
Another pair of fruits you should stay away from is dates and avocados.
Dates are high in sugar and can overwhelm the body when combined with
avocados, which are heavy in monounsaturated fats. You should also avoid
eating apples and pears together, as apples are acidic and pears can be too
heavy on the stomach.
Finally, mixing melons and grapes is not recommended either. Melons are
extremely high in sugar and can cause a sugar rush if mixed with grapes.
Additionally, the combination can be hard for the body to digest properly,
leading to uncomfortable digestive issues.
It’s best to keep these combinations in mind when eating fruits. Although
some of these combinations might still be enjoyable, you should be aware of
the potential side effects that could be experienced. Eating the right
combinations of fruits can help ensure you get the most out of the
nutrition that fruits provide.

Q4 What are some historical records of the reversal of the Earth's
magnetic field?
A4 Sangram Sagar,Blogger, Content Writer1y
In Ngawha, on the North Island of New Zealand, an ancient tree has been
discovered that contains a record of a reversal of the Earth's magnetic
field. The tree - an Agathis australis, also known as the Maori name kauri
- was found during excavation work for the expansion of a geothermal power
plant.
The tree was buried 9 meters deep and measures 2.4m in diameter and 30m in
length. Carbon dating indicated that she lived for 1,500 years, between
41,000 and 42,500 years ago.
“There is none of this anywhere in the world. This Ngāwhā kauri is unique.”
The lifespan of the kauri tree covers a point in Earth's history when the
magnetic field nearly reversed. Magnetic north and south have shifted
positions, but a complete reversal has not taken place. It was almost a
reversal.
The Earth's magnetic field is believed to be generated by the iron in the
planet's core. It produces electrical currents that extend into space as
they move. The magnetic field is really like a barrier that protects the
planet from the solar wind, which is a stream of particles from the Sun
that could remove the Earth's atmosphere, as happened on Mars. With the
magnetic field, they are attracted to the poles.
When the magnetic field reverses, it weakens and the planet suffers more
from the effect of the Sun's radiation. Scientists have already linked
extinction events to reversals of magnetic fields.
The rings of this kauri tree have a complete record of this near reversal,
and this is the first time a tree that lived through the entire event has
been found.
Scientists are now analyzing samples from the tree and are led by Chris
Turney of the University of New South Wales, an expert in paleoclimatology
and climate change for the past 40,000 years. The research is being funded
by the Research Council of Australia.
Turney explained:
“The precious thing is that this huge lone tree grew for about 1700 years
in a remarkable period in our planet's history, when Earth's magnetic field
reversed 42,000 years ago, a period known as the Laschamp Excursion. We're
doing a detailed analysis of carbon-14 in the various rings of this tree.
In the last 83 million years, there have been 183 magnetic pole reversals.
This process takes about 7,000 years to complete. Monika Korte, scientific
director of the Niemegk Geomagnetic Observatory at GFZ Potsdam, Germany,
says:
“It is not a sudden movement, but a slow process, during which the
strength of the field becomes weak, most likely the field becomes more
complex and may show more than two poles for a while, and then it
strengthens and aligns itself in the same direction. opposite direction."
According to NASA, magnetic field reversals occur at random intervals,
although over the last 20 million years it appears to have settled into a
pattern, occurring once every 200,000 to 300,000 years.
The last total reversal took place about 780,000 years ago.
Recently, scientists announced that the magnetic north pole had moved
unexpectedly.
Instead of constantly tracking from the Canadian Arctic towards Siberia, it
sped up so much that researchers had to update the World Magnetic Model
(WMM), which is a representation of Earth's magnetic field. It is used
extensively in navigation by the US Department of Defense, the UK Ministry
of Defense, and many civilian systems - so knowing exactly where the north
and south magnetic poles are is of utmost importance.
Q5 How does gingerol help in boosting metabolism?
A5 Shnayas,BCA from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)
(Graduated 2022)1h
Gingerol, found in ginger, is believed to boost metabolism through its
thermogenic effect, which increases the body's production of heat. This can
potentially lead to an increase in calorie burning and fat loss.
Gingerol may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation,
contributing to overall metabolic health.
However, ginger can be a beneficial addition to a healthy diet, it's
important to note that its impact on metabolism is just one factor, and
lifestyle choices play a significant role in overall metabolic function.

Q7 Why did Chandragupta Maurya marry Helina? Is Helina responsible for
ending the Mauryan dynasty?
A7 Rachel Gellar,Student 11h
Chandragupta Maurya married Helena in a peace treaty in 305 BCE. She was
surrendered to him by her father Seleucus. It's not known who put this
condition first. Intermarriage for making peace was common back then so
it's not someone unusual. Helena was half persian. She was favourite
daughter of her father and therefore surrendering her was a huge deal.
As a young girl she was married to Chandragupta who was in his 30s then.
His son Bindusara was already 15 or 16.
He brought his new wife to Sindh at spent some time with her there. He gave
her gifts which included moon shaped earrings. Later he also brought her to
Patliputra where she gave birth to his children.
Their marriage established Epigamia and provided legitimisation to
marriages between Yavanas and Indians in both the Empires.
No, she was not responsible for any decline of Mauryans.
