Q1 Why are almost every goodreputed family children from India settling abroad and not trying in India? A1 Bhaskara Sarma UpdatedJune 7, 2019 Knows a little about health and wealth. My eldest son did his BTech in IIT, Chennai. Then he did his MS in Nanotechnology in ETH, Zurich. He did his Phd in Bassel, Switzerland. Subsequentlyhe did his post doctoral research in the University of Ulm, Germany. After all this, he returned toIndia and working as Asst Professor, IISER, BHOPAL. Many other teaching faculty also studied abroadfor about 10years and finally returned to India to settle down in IITs orIISERs. It is not so easy to settle down abroad for Professors since there issubtle discrimination towards Indians everywhere in the universities of theWest or USA or even in Singapore. Singapore is full of Chinese domination andthey are rude and crude to be very polite. This is the opinion of not of my sonbut also of many others who suffered at the hands of Chinese superiors. My third son too did his BTech in Computer Science Engg in IIT, Chennai. Hegot good offers in India itself in companies like Flipkart, Wallmart, Olacabsand Apple Computers. He feels well paid in India itself and rejected even140000US dollar offer from a California co. It is a misnomer that everybodysettles abroad. It is verydifficult to settle down in Europe. The situation is getting tightened in USA. Thecountries available are only Canada, Australia and Newzealand for easysettlement. The climate is very cold in Canada! If you settle down in India andproperly save and invest in India, your investments grow very well in adeveloping country like India. You can get children properly educated in best of the Institutions withIndian culture. You can visit your family functions too and you can take careof your parents in old age. Your parents too help you if required. It is amutual advantage. After all what is there in USA except money and that too for high end softwareprofessionals. You will be cut off from all your friends and relatives. Therewill be extreme weather conditions in some places. You don't get servant maids.There is nobody to helpyou if you are in need. You are a helpless spectator when your parents are illor bedridden. Practically you could do nothing when they are physically ill. I quote one example. My nephew was in USA. Unfortunately my brother inlaw suffered from cancer. He could do nothing except enquiring over phone. Luckilymy niece was staying nearby. She was taking him for chemotherapy to a hospitalwhich is 20kms away. Suddenly he died in Jan 2014.The body has to be kept therefor 2 days till his arrival. Next my sister was staying alone. Within sixmonths she had a fracture. Her mental health too deteriorated. Then she waskept in an old age home for personal http://care .Added to this she got a paralytic stroke. My nephew was paying Rs 30000per month for the old age home but it is only a poor substitute by care offamily members. She really experienced the hell on earth for about 40 monthstill her death. Thus the NRIs and their parents too http://suffer.Myopinion is that our children should not go abroad if they have decent livinghere.so I always discouraged my children not to settle down abroad. Now some NRIs are returning to India and investing their time and moneyin many start ups. Some started hi tech Agriculture. Some are giving goodmarketing services to the farmers. Q2 What's something yourecently learned that shocked you? A2 Ratnamala Kamath M'comfrom Karnatak University, Dharwad (Graduated 1988)Wed Around 2 weeks back a middle aged lady who lived in our apartment complexwith her husband, daughter, son in law and 2 grandchildren, died of covid. All residents of the apartment were shocked and immediately the wholebuilding was sanitized. Acouple of days later all the residents had to compulsorily undergo a covid test.All of us tested negative in my home, which was big relief for us. Later on I came to know that the lady who passed away had been unwell from a week, so her family hadgot her tested for covid. Now this lady used to watch a lotof news channels and covid news everyday. When she heard that she was covid positive, she got aheart attack and passed away. So she didn't die because of the disease. The fear of the disease anddying, killed her.This shocked me because I had never heard of such a casebefore. Hearing this my son got worried about me because we were all undergoingthe covid test. Since I'm sometimes prone to panic attacks, he was scared thatif any one of us tested positive something may happen to me also 😅. So till the results of the test came he was telling me the statistics ofsurvival rate of covid and trying to reassure and calm me down. I assured him that though I may get a panic attack, most likely I willnot get a heart attack. Q3 What role do hypotheses play in a scientific inquiry? A3 Shyam AsoorKrishnamachar , Assessor at NABET New Delhi (2016-present) Answered 2h ago ‘Hypothesis’ is the precursor for a theory and constant thinking on thisgradually evolves into a Scientific inquiry and also gets you a doctorate withyour constant pursuit…… Q4 How come white peopletraditionally never ate rice? Is it hard to grow rice in Europe or does ricenot exist in Europe? A4 Mats Andersson Visted 24European countries Thu This was interesting.Yes, it’s hard to grow rice in large partsof Europe. I knew we can’t grow it in Sweden, I know they grow it in Italy(so the premise is actually wrong; Europeans do eat ricetraditionally)—but I didn’t know why. When you can grow something in the south and not in the north, thisusually has to do with temperature or sunlight. We can’t grow coffee in Sweden since the beans don’tripen unless it’s 40C, and the highest outdoor temperature ever recordedin Sweden is 36C. But for rice, it turns out to have to do with sunlight. But not the wayyou’d think.Rice needsdarkness to ripen. If the nights aren’t dark enough, the flowersjust wilt and die. And in Northern Europe, even south of the Arctic Circle, wehave the “white nights”—around midsummer, it’s never too dark outside to see,and the sun only stays below the horizon for a couple of hours. And even as far south as theAlps, the nights are too short in summer to give you a good yield. The grass itself can grow, but itwill not go to seed and give you a harvest. Q5 How does oxygen seem tobe always present in their air? Is it possible to encounter a"pocket" of air that has no oxygen, or could there be a large areathat's lacking oxygen? A5 Geoffrey Widdison Beenlearning science since I was six, still getting started. Tue That’s actually kind of a fun question. I remember, when I was a kid, thefirst time I learned about oxygen, I actually laid awake at night wondering what wouldhappen if all the oxygen were to leave the bubble of air around my head. As I grew up and learned more about science, I became more comfortablewith how things work. The point is that theatmosphere is well mixed. Nitrogen and oxygen (which are the primary components of air) have similar properties, andthey tend to be well mixed. It’s a statistical reality that, in a mixed fluid,if there’s a difference in concentration and nothing actively blocking it,they’ll diffuse into one another until the concentration is the same. If therewere a pocket without oxygen, it would be surrounded by air that was lousy withoxygen, and those uncounted quadrillions of molecules are constantly bouncingaround, which means that the oxygen is going to get into that pocket prettyquickly. So that kindof pocket isn’t going to form spontaneously, because as soon as it started toform, oxygen would mix with it. Now, to be clear, there are absolutely circumstances under which you can have oxygen-deficient air. But those requireparticular conditions to happen. Generally, they occur because there’s a largesource of gas being vented, usually into an enclosed area, and pushing theoxygen out faster than it can diffuse in. In nature, thatusually happens around volcanic vents, where CO2 and other gasses can push outthe oxygen. In industry, if you work with anykind of compressed gas, you have to be aware of the conditions in which thatcould be released fast enough to displace the oxygen in the air. If there are large vessels and/orvessels in an enclosed space, you generally need oxygen monitors to make surethat isn’t happening. So, yeah, it is possible to get an oxygen-deficient pocket of air. Butthose don’t happen spontaneously, so if we stay aware of the situations whereit could happen, we can remain safe. My note- In the bottom of openwells if they are deep deficiency of oxygen is felt and person getting down may get fainted. Now a day oxygen is carried whilegetting down wells to breath and evengetting down wells is through ladder and the person carry mobile to intimatecondition. In villages large sizebaskets are/were lowered and raised to introduce oxygen andtaken out carbon dioxide. Before a person is getting down table fans are lowered and switched on androtated at different depths to take out carbon dioxide. Q6 Why is Hinduism moredifficult to understand? A6 Narayanan Radhakrishnan InternalAudit (2011–present)19m ago Bcoz of its identity given. Yes when there was a need for classificationof people based on their religion or faith, it was classified into Islam,Christians, Buddists, many group of native people were following many practicesand it was not easy tocompile them. So a term was coined just likeHindsutan for all the beleivers of their own practises as “Hinduism”. So each and every places the practices andmethods differ. So it will be difficult to understand Hinduism. Also thesemodern days many terms were emerging as Sanatana Dharma which still makes toworse to understand. Q7 Can we generate enoughoxygen from electrolysis of water at home to overcome oxygen cylinders shortagefor COVID-19 patients? A7 Steven Haddock Lives inToronto, ON (1959–present)May 14 You’re going around it thewrong way. My dad suffered from respiratory problems during the last years of hislife which means he needed supplemental oxygen all the time. Yes, he had bottles for trips in the car, and a big emergency bottle, butthe vast majority of the time, he used this-An oxygen concentrator. These contain zeolite. When pressurized room air is passed over the zeolite, the zeoliteabsorbs almost all of the nitrogen in the air. The oxygen isdirected to a tube to the patient. After each cycle, the pressure on thezeolite is released, which similarly releases the nitrogen, which is sent outan exhaust. This is a lot more energyefficient than electrolysis, doesn’t require the water to be recharged, andworks as long as you have electricity and air. By the way, electrolysis is horrendously slow and energy hungry. You know how much energy hydrogen and oxygen giveoff when they combine? You have to put in even more energy to get the oxygenand hydrogen back out. If you ran room current through a bathtub full of water,it would literally take years to turn it to hydrogen and oxygen. Q8 How did Darwin foreshadowmodern scientific theories? A8 Palanki Suryanarayana-,former Retired Professor of Civil Engineering at Maulana Azad NationalInstitute of Technology, Bhopal (1975-…Answered 42m ago When Darwin was working on histheory of evolution (mostly by studying the animals and birds he collectedduring his voyage in “Beagle”), there was already a wealth of information that he could use from the work of otherscientists like geologists, biologists and paleontologists. The independent work of AlfredRussell Wallace (who worked in East Indies) confirmed Darwin’s theorycomprehensively. Hence it is not correct to say Darwinforeshadowed any modern theories. He built up his theories by extensivestudy as well as the utilisation of existing knowledge. Q9 What is one thing niceyou did for someone today or something they did for you? A9 Rebekah RadfordStudiedat Sydney TAFE - Ultimo College May 17 I gave a homeless woman fifty dollars the other day. She really lookedlike she needed a square meal and I was going to spend it on a new top becauseit was Christmas money. The poor lady was so grateful.She said that she hadn't had as much as a five cent piece all day. I hope that she is okay. I reallyfeel for homeless people especially the women because they are so vulnerableand have no dental care or someone to love them. All the above QA are based onQuora digest on 21-05 - 2021.
