Pranam *Q1 Do Japanese eggs taste different?*
A1 Taste is a mind game; have you not seen people vix sons and daughters eulogising their mothers' cooking and taste?; while others who took such foods might vary their ideas since their minds are susceptible to the yardstick of their mothers -match only. Plus cooking, ingredients of the geographical locations, water of the territory and the potent love who cooks add to the taste. Otherwise non vegetarian food has only one taste of awkward smell casting out to neighbors before cooking and a chewing gum grind fibre crunch during eating -hence in spite of the carbo and protein and fat content in the dishes, they add up spices of the vegetarian and take vegetables of the vegetarians shooting their cost in the market. One example on fragrance of food I would say which many in our groups can remember: The gingelly oil used to smell as raw in 60s but today such things are foregone; the wheat flour would smell so fascinating even while eating whereas all the attas today are stagnant; GIGO. Q2 What is the best advice your father ever gave you? A2 That was on 4th Jan 1970, when i was about to enter IRS my father said before boarding the train: " there is nothing in greatness in doing a job which you like, but liking the job which you do ". Whenever I was disheartened the bell would ring. And one example is one boss who did not like me placed me in audit which no one would opt; the pendency was 27845 when i entered; boss was so cunning and said because of my ability only i aam posted as pendency is staggering (like today's courts); he was shifted out with a dishonor in 8 months; i got rid of at the end of the year; and the pendency was just 4 when i left. <https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-original-picture-of-Hanuman> *Q3 What is the original picture of Hanuman? <https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-original-picture-of-Hanuman>* A3 *Na ravana sahasram mè yuddhe prathibalam bhaveth,* *Shilabhischa praharatha padapascha sahasrashaha ||* Hanuman shouted loudly in Lanka that he could not be defeated even if Thousands of Ravana would come to fight with him, while he was opposing and striking them with large stones and big trees. He was the most obedient to Rama, the king Kosalendra, only. He could kill all enemies for the sake of Rama and Sugriva. ——- *Sundara Kanda* His fist was so powerful that even Ravana could be killed in one shot. *Thava sathwam balam chaiva vijanami Mahakapae !* *Vayoriva gathim chaiva thejaschhagne rivaadbhutham ||* Sita extolled Hanuma that she had known his strength and force on seeing his Virat Rupam in Asoka Vanam. His *Gathi **is *equal to *Vayu. *She had also told that his Thejas (Enlightenment) is like fire and is very wonderful (Adbhutham). ——— *Sundarakanda* Hanuma flew from north shore to Lanka like *Ramabañam. *He was equalled with Garuda and Vayu many times, in Ramayana. Rama praised him very much in the starting of *Yuddhakanda, *after finishing his work. He crossed the ocean, saw Sita and returned back safely, as they were great deeds. Sita and himself were alive only because of Hanuma. It was impossible for others to do even with mind, as it was a very great and risky one. *Krutham Hanumatha karyam sumahadbhuvi durlabham,* *manasapi* *yadanyena na sakyam dharani thale ||. 2nd sloka* *Na hi tham paripasyami yastharetha maharnavam,* *Anyathra garudaath vayoh anyathra cha Hanumathaha || 3rd sloka* ————— Yuddhakanda, Valmiki. Learn this sloka : *Buddhirbalam yaso dhairyam nirbhayathwam arogatha* *Ajaadyam vakpatuthwam cha Hanumath smaranath bhaveth ||* Meaning : ——- Intelligence, strength, courage, fearlessness, health, free from inactive and dullness, fluency in speech will be achieved by praying Hanuman. Jai Hind. Hanuman is described in the epic as one of extremely pleasant visage, perfect diction, elegant speech, and faultless manners. He is also described as being knowledgeable in the three *Vedas <https://www.ancient.eu/Vedas/>*. From his father, the Wind God, he inherits his might and speed. He is also a shapeshifter who can increase and decrease his body size at will.He is seen right from Ramayana, Mahabharatha , puranas and many literatures of many languages. Bhavabhuti <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Bhavabhuti>, in his *Mahaviracharita*, and Bhatti, in his *Bhattikavya*, give ‘Vrishakapi’ as one of Hanuman’s names. In Nilakantha’s *Mantra <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Mantra> Ramayana*—a treatise interpreting several Vedic mantras as alluding to the Ramayana story—Hanuman finds mention. Nilakantha believes that Vrishakapi, the ‘man-ape’ associated with Indra and Indrani in the Rig Veda <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Rig_Veda>, is none other than Hanuman 'Hanu' means ‘chin’ and the suffix 'mat' denotes ‘possession’, and implicitly ‘excellence’ or ‘superiority’, atiśāyana. ‘Hanuman’ would thus mean ‘the one with excellent chin’. According to Sanskrit <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Sanskrit> lexicographers, letters in this name denote the following: *ha *Brahma, Shiva <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Shiva>, bliss, sky, water *nu *worship <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Worship>, praise *mā *Lakshmi, Vishnu <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Vishnu> *na *heroic strength. The name would thus suggest the presence of the attributes and distinctive characteristics of these deities <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Deities> and elements—all in one person. *Valmiki Ramayana*, however, Hanuman meets Rama in the foothills of Mount Rishyamuka, disguised as a mendicant at the behest of Sugriva. He had been sent to find out what brought the brothers there and, if they were not Bali <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Bali>’s allies, to offer them Sugriva’s hand of friendship. During this meeting, Rama observes Hanuman’s unusual abilities and tells Lakshmana: 'He is the counselor of the vanara <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Vanara> king Sugriva, and has approached me at his behest. He has mastery over language. It is impossible for anyone to converse like him without attaining command over the Rig, Yajur, and Sama Vedas <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Vedas>. His proficiency in grammar is thorough; he has studied it many times over. And though he has spoken so much, he has not uttered a single word out of place or irrelevant to the context. There was no grimace on his face, eyes, forehead, or brow, nor any inappropriate gesture from any other part of his body. His diction is neither expansive nor elliptical, neither too slow nor too fast. The thoughts in his heart, escaping his throat, are expressed in a medium tone. His language is cultured, attractive, and beatific, and his manner, neither gushing nor tardy. How can the objectives of a king, who does not have such an illustrious emissary, ever be accomplished?'[ <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Hanuman#cite_note-34> Erudition apart, Hanuman has great sensitivity and excellent communication skills. While speaking with Rama and Lakshmana, he uses flawless Sanskrit; but he decides against it when he has to introduce himself to Sita in the Ashokavana. He deliberates: ‘I am a monkey, and if I speak Sanskrit as the high-bred twice-born do, she may be scared, taking me to be Ravana in a fresh disguise. How can a monkey speak with her except in a dialect?’ He therefore, ‘spoke in a language which must have been the ordinary spoken tongue (*mānusīmiha sanskritām*) in either Kosala or Mithila’.[35] <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Hanuman#cite_note-35>In counseling Sugriva, when the latter becomes negligent in his duty towards Rama; in advising Angada, when he is contemplating suicide and nursing thoughts of revolt against Sugriva; in dealing with Mount Mainaka, and the demonesses Surasa and Simhika while crossing the ocean; and in teaching a lesson to Lankini, or Lanka-lakshmi, the presiding demoness of Lanka, at the city’s threshold, Hanuman’s tact, tactical skills, and physical strength are on display. Vivekananda says: Shri Rama was the Paramatman. Sita was the Jivatman, and each man’s or woman’s body was the Lanka. Sita, thus imprisoned and trying to unite with her Lord, receives a visit from Hanuman, the Guru or divine teacher, who shows her the Lord’s ring, which is Brahma-Jnana, the supreme wisdom that destroys all illusions; and thus Sita finds the way to be at one with Shri Rama, or in other words, the Jivatman finds itself one with the Paramatma KR IRS 30321 Q4 How do I increase my memory power? A4 Simple recite 12 times minimum gayathri mantra Memory will soar like fire. Q5 How's life after getting a government job in India? How does life and its aspects get changed? A5 One thing was certain; even if you are top bureaucrat with the service emblems, without economics and MBAs, you are useless to the private management; a top public limited company with reget rejected me after ayear of Govt service, when I asked, for the reason that a govt servant inculcates tardy process which private cannot afford to hold. Q6 Can you tell the middle class things? A6 There is nothing like low class or middle class or high class; its in 3rd party ignorant judging; a five star not in India but abroad gave a drink in mud cup as thro away; was it fashion or middle class or high class?. A7 Shiva worship on soma vara. Somas Kandan is Siva; Somnath temple; having soma on his head; soma is associated with Siva in many puranas and even Upanishads; Rudrama speaks high of soma; and most of all there are only 7 days; and each day assigned one god; since all other days are reserved for other gods. Monday is for Siva. Q8 What is the most interesting fact that you know and I don't, but I should? A8 {*Sleeping in a cold room can help you slim down. According to research, conducted by* commonwealth university, *just one month of sleeping in a 66-degree room helped increase subjects' fat-burning ability by 10%.} * *KR what would happen when fat is burnt faster than mormalcy; you will become hungry faster; you tend to eat more; and so reduction of fat in cold is a myth; the fat men and women are seen more in usa Newyorh and washington than in India. * Researchers found that sitting & standing straight makes it easy to recall memories, as these positions boost the flow of oxygen & blood to the brain up to 40 percent. KR ERECT POSTURES IS MEDITATION POSES WHERE THE BLOOD FLOW IS MORE. FOCUS INCREASES; SO CONCENTRATION; SO MEMORY CELLS ARE ACTIVATED. Taking photos can worse your memories. A study published in the Journal of memory & cognition found that subjects had better recollection of painting who didn’t take a photo than those who took a photo and only spent 15s analyzing the artwork. KR IT IS A MYTH. REAL MYTH. VILLAGERS USED TO SAY IT CUT SHORTS THE AGE. Ability praise tends to put children in a fixed mind set (ability is fixed, and you just have it), whereas effort praise tends to put them in a growth mind set (you can develop these skills because you’re working hard). Psychologists found that people struggling to make complex decisions did best when they were distracted and were not able to think consciously about the choice at all. Fake smiles can hurt you. The researcher looked at the behavior of bus drivers, & found that these people withdraw from their work by putting smiles for show & it has long term deleterious health effects. KR WHEN CORNERED TO THE WALL ONE HAS TO BOUNCE BACK ONLY AS THERE IS NO M ORE SPACE. FAKE SMILES AND THE SWEET WORDS ARE COMMERCIAL CONFIGURATIONS. KR It is not fake to hurt in anyway Mr G; But I thought what would be better answer to these questions. What I had been telling Mr G (though he things inversely proportional to his age) his talent and experiences are in the words of others rather than his shattering out of the cocoon.
