A2 Mrinali Parida March 25-2021-Studentat Hiranandani Foundation School, Thane. Not a rishi or a yogi but I have heard of this miracle that took place afew years ago. There was a girl about 5 years old. She and her parents lived in SouthAfrica. She was a devotee of Lord Narishima. She was so much attached to the‘Lion God’. She often used to tell her friends about the ‘Lion God’. They wouldwonder who the Lion God is. Once she and her friends were playing with a ball. The ball rolled andwent out into the road. The road usually remains empty most of the time butsuddenly a truck came very fast down the road. The girl did not notice thetruck and she went running to the ball. She flew and fell a few miles away whenthe truck hit her. Her father who had been watching all this from the firstfloor screamed and jumped to the ground. He broke his two legs. The girl wasimmediately admitted to a hospital. The doctor ordered the nurse to do x ray ofher, when the nurse came with the report the doctor shouted at her. “Whose report have you brought? I had told you to bring the report of thegirl. You think it as a joke when someone’s life is in danger?” The nurse replied- “But sir I have brought the reports of that girl only.Not even a single bone is broken.” Everyone was shocked. When the girl came back to her senses she wasquestioned about what exactly had happened when the truck hit her. She said that when she saw the truck coming only her lion god- Narasimha swamy came to her mindand she asked him for help. Then her lion god came to protect her. Hetook her in his arms and landed her in a safe place twenty miles away from thatspot. She said how beautiful her Lion God looked like. He was wearing yellowgarments etc. But whenhe left he accidently scratched on her body. The doctor thought that the girl is still dreaming or maybe she is lostin her own whims and fancies. She undergone several tests but no part of her body wasdamaged only a scratch could be seen. The doctortold that the scratch seemed to be of a lion. Everyone now believed that the story toldby the girl is true. The story spread like wildfire in social media and manypeople including the doctor and the nurse treating the girl became devotees ofNarsimha swamy. Source- Bhakti TV youtube channel.Hare Krishna!! Q3 How's life after gettinga government job in India? How does life and its aspects get changed? A3 Dev 28-03-2021 Former Boxing Player-I belong to avillage where most ofthe people's livelihood relies upon agriculture and farming. Wedon't make much out of farming as water bodies in our area are running dry. Aswe don't have any industry in our district, the only thing we can do is to grab a government job assoon as possible. Here, Your chances of getting married are next to zero if you don't have either astable family or a government job😜 I landed a pensionable government job when I was not even 17 yrs. I'm 21now and I've been a salaried guy for the last 4yrs. Sounds ridiculous? But honestly, I couldn't even complete my first year of bachelors when iwas enlisted. My salary sums up a little close to 50k per month plusother allowances depending upon the place I may get posted at. So now, comes how did my life took a turn after getting a government job.SinceI earn enough to prop up my family, we no longer rely upon farming. Yet, we dofarming to just to fulfil the needs of my family. I no longer ask for pocket money from my parents. I spend close to 15kper month on myself. I go travelling much often and spend a huge chunk of mysavings on it. I've been to leh and laddakh on bike.I purchased a bike that I alwayscraved for. It didn't take me more than 5 months to save up for that. I've got money to purchase whatever stuff I like, from clothing to mydiet for gym. Since my job is pensionable and I've free access to medical andaccommodation facilities. It's an added advantage. My note- I applied the job oftelegraph office clerk while I was studying in 2nd year of my BSc,Thinking was a job than completing graduation? By god’sgrace the selection was delayed and I got selected as telecom clerk after six months of mygraduation. Q4 What are things youshouldn’t do in life? A4 Tushar Kumar Yashwant SunBTEC from Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS)(Expected 2024) 1. Never argue a fool: Chanakya says that we should never dispute with foolish people. Stupid people do not have anysense at all, if you dispute with them then the loss will be yours.If you argue with such people, your respect will be reduced. Such people canmake you mentally weak. If you want to avoid controversy with stupid people,then keep quiet and use your discretion. Therefore, never dispute a fool. 2.Do not tell your weakness toanyone: Most of the people expose their weaknesses to their close relatives,which they later find very expensive. When you are born, you are alone. Yourworldly relationships begin as soon as you are born. Over time you get engrossed in many deeprelationships. In such a situation, we tell our weakness in theserelationships. Which later other people also come to know. Which is not good for ourpersonal life. Every person has some weaknesses. In such a situation, never tell your weakness toanyone. Whether it is your friend or your wife. Avoid this to honor your soul. 3. One of your faults can destroyall your qualities: Many such examples are seen in life when people, despite havinghappiness, convenience and wealth, they commit such a mistake, which makestheir heaven-like life become hell. What causes this – due to one of our faults. Even if you have many qualities. You have good behavior, you are kind, youare a social worker or you are rich. We have great respect in our society. But if there is even a small flaw in you, then it willruin your life. Defects such as – intoxication, profanity, boastingor gambling. Therefore look into yourself and see if there is any defect inyou. If there is, then discard it. Otherwise, all the respect created by your hard work willbe mixed with the soil in an instant. 4. Do not befriend people of moreor less status than you: Chanakya says that “Never befriend those who are of more or lessprestige than you. Such a friendship will never make you happy”. If youbefriend people who have less prestige than you, then you will always be introuble. Such friends will always expect help from you and will think of takingadvantage of you. If you will ever be in trouble, such friends will not be ableto help you. If you make friends with people of higher status than you, you willalways compare yourself with your friend and there will be a sense of envy inyou. You will always consider yourself small in front of him, which is not goodfor your self – esteem. If he is not able to help you in times of trouble, thenyou will get angry at your friendship. So keep in mind that yourfriendship should be in your level only. 5. Never make a liar your friend. The person who lies can doanything to prove his point to be true. A liar has never been faithful toanyone in the world and neither will he be'- Acharya Chanakya Q5 Why do some people wearblack threads on their ankles?

A6 4 AnswersTrisha Walsh, Only the best for myfur-babies! 1-4-2021 | | | | Trisha Walsh - Quora | | | If that was true, I probablywouldn’t be typing this answer because I’d be dead! My Pinky is a proliferativedigger. It didn’t take us longafter we brought him home for us to discover his annoying but very dog-likebehaviour. He likes to bury his old, smellybones, probably to save for later, even though we buy him more, as well as various tasty treats. When he wants to rest andrelax between scaring people he doesn’t like when they pass by, he’ll dig a big“dirt-pit” to lie down. Helikes to dig when he’s bored. He just…likes to dig. It doesn’t necessarily mean that he wants to bury me or my partner. Onthe contrary, he’s very protective of me. If I was in danger, he’d do his utmost to eliminate thethreat. And if it was in the form of another living being, deathwould be the result. Mark Hopkins, worked at SuccessEntertainment (1990-2020) 1-4-2021 Not really. Dogs dig to reachitems they buried, to access cool soil on hot day, and when they are bored. Unless you are Tony Soprano and you have someoneburied in your yard. I would simply, fill the holes, give a stern No, and get atug toy and play more w the dog. Walk the dog more. The dog is likely bored. :) Amolak Goyal, worked at ManikyaLal Verma Textile and Engineering College (1990-2013)1-4-2021 More then your dog you yourself is inviting mis happening by creatingnegative thoughts. Therefore stop believing in blindfaith. Every thing will be good. Q7 What is your salary? Areyou happy with it? Hey! A7 Shiv Shankar Jha Updated29-3-2021Project Engineer at Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL)(2021–present) I got my first job in a state PSU of Gujarat as a college placement. We were on a stipend of 30000/-per month till first year. Afterall the deductions I earned about 27,800/- per month. I worked there for about 5years and my salary also rose at nice pace. At present I work with a Maharatna PSU of India and get paid handsomely. My CTC goes around 19 lakhs perannum excluding the benefits we get being in project dept. I think salary is not the only thing I craved for in my career. Work satisfaction, family,love-life, passion, hobbies etc are the thing which drives you through life. Yes, money is important and it is one of those vital things in life butit is not the only thing in life. You could be earning in lakhs per month but could still lead a miserablelife. So, work hard to get near to that amount which you need to live comfortably and then follow your hobbyand passion for a happy life! All the above QA are based onQuora on 01-04 - 2021.
