Respected Mr Rajaram KrishnaMoorthy,
I  am posting cultural QA which contain some basic information to a question. 
One can write pages or in brief. I am clearly stating answers need not be 
correct. Answers are copied from Quora.  If one likes let him read it. Blaming 
me for including incorrect answers is meaningless. 
Sri Rajaram Krishnamoorthy has asked me NOT TO INCLUDE  any of his responses  
about  cultural QA or any thing else. So I was marking his responses or 
anything  to SPAM. Now I understand  he adversely comments on me. 
Since He has asked me not to include his response and I am not including for 
about six months or more , is it not better as a good member not to comment on 
my postings, though he has all the rights .
A road laid should be for  both way traffic. I once again request Sri Rajaram 
Krishnamoorthy to write his own in the groups which would benefit all.I am  
forwarding this message to all groups and known membersSincerely,Gopala Krishnan

Dear folks
Sometimes I wonder why Sri Rajaram Krishnamurthy is so full of venom that he 
strikes out at Sri Gopala Krishnan in public every chance he gets, while he 
himself is more often than not full of errors.  And why he pretends to hold the 
high moral ground when he in fact grovels in the mud.
For example, he writes in undisguised scorn, derision and contempt (addressing 
Sri Gopala Krishnan and the whole world):-
Q3     Brahma vishnu Shiva are all saguna Brahmam ; vedic concept designated 
functionaries of the Brahmam. As they are created , so too they are 
destroyable. Yajnavalkya answers in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad shall enlighten on 
the number of GODs. sie please read before writing that of some misspelt ideas.

For the education (and possible redemption from narakam) of error-prone Sri 
Rajaram Krishnamurthy, let me say:-
In the Brihad-aaranyaka Upanishad, Adhyaayam II, Braahmanam 1, there is a 
dialogue between a learned Brahmana named Gaargya, and a king of Kaashi named 
Ajaatha-shathru, concerning the concept of Brahmam. 
No mention of Yaajnavalkya.
No mention of the number of Gods.
No mention of Brahma, Vishnu, or Shiva. 
No assertion that all three are only "vedic concept functionaries" of anything 
or anyone.
No assertion that all three are merely created; that all of them are 
"destroyable".
Discussion in the named Upanishad is only about the naamas and the roopas of 
the Universal Brahman as worshipped respectively by the Braahmana and by the 
king. 
Gargya initiates the dialogue by telling the king that he would teach the king 
about Brahmam. 
(1) Gargya says he worships the Brahmam as the Purushan in Aadithyan.  The king 
counters that he worships the Brahmam as the Purusha which is present in all 
living beings, even as every such being has a head;
(2) Gargya says he worships the Brahmam as the Purushan in Chandran.  Then king 
counters that heworships Brahmam as the Purushan present in Soma and as the 
King;
(3) Gargya says he worships the Brahmam as the Purushan in Vidyuthi (power of 
learning).  The king counters that he worships the Brahmam as Thejasvi (power 
of effulgence);
(4) Gargya says he worships the Brahmam as the Purushan in Aakaasham (sky).  
The king counters that he worships the Brahmam as Poornan (one who is complete, 
lacking nothing, nor required to perform any kriya).
(5)  Gargya says he worships the Brahmam as the Purushan in Vaayu (wind).  The 
king counters thathe worships Brahmam as Indra, as the unconquerable Purusha 
with an invincible army.
(6)  Gargya says he worships the Brahmam as the Purushan in Agni (fire).  The 
king counters that he worships the Brahmam as Vishaasahi.
(7)  Gargya says he worships the Brahmam as the Purushan in Appu (water).  The 
king counters that he worships the Brahman as Aniroopan (formless being).
(8)  Gargya says he worships the Brahmam as the Purushan in the mirror 
(reflective power).  The king counters that he worships Brahmam as the Purushan 
with Prakaasham (brightness of light). (9)  Gargya says he worships the Brahmam 
as the sounds (echoes)  of footsteps of the person in front.The king counters 
that he worships the Brahmam as Praanan (life force of living beings).
(10) Gargya says he worships Brahmam as the Purushan present in all directions. 
 The king counters that he worships Brahmam as the Purushan in the forms of 
Dvitheeyavaan and Anupashan.
(11) Gargya says he worships Brahmam as the Purushan in the roopam of chchaaya 
(shadow).  The king counters that he worships the Brahmam as the Purushan in 
Mruthyu (death).
(12) Gargya says he worships the Brahmam as the Purushan in Prajaapathi 
(Creator).  The king counters that he worships the Brahmam as the one with 
Aathma (soul/spirit).
Gargya then says he has nothing more to teach the king.  The king then proceeds 
to instruct the Brahmana on esoteric matters of which the Brahmama seems 
unaware.
Dear folks  It is not only about the Brihad-aaranyaka Upanishad that Sri 
Rajaram Krishnamurthy is ignorant and plainly lying.
He had earlier similarly pretended to expound the Chaandogya Upanishad.  When I 
challenged him openly in this forum asking him for the reference in that 
Upanishad from which he pretended to translate, so that I could verify his 
pretensions, the coward fell silent.  He is still silent.
The lying refugee coward again fell silent when on 6 May 2021, I challenged him:
From his arch-ego unfathomable fathomless fountain of pretended knowledge of 
Sanskrit manthrams, can he identify the essential following abhimanthranam:" ? 
"karomi  the prajaapathyamaa garbho yonimethu the |anoonaha poorno 
jaayathaa-mashlono-apishaachadheethaha ||pumaagumsthe puthro naari tham 
pumaananu jayaathaam |thaani bhadraani beejaanyrushabhaa janayanthu nau ||
"thaisvthvam puthraan vindasva saa prasoordhenukaa bhava ||"
The lying refugee ignoramus coward has yet to reply to my recent other 
important and pertinent queries:-
QUERY NO.1:-
"Even if TORT IS USED TO ESCAPE “ITS BOUND TO CONTAIN ERROR AS FROM QUORA AND 
ANOTHER; STILL vicarious liability shall arise. Its principle gave vent to ADAM 
AND EVE etc later."
Kaala-bharivaashtakam says:-
naaradaadi yogi vrunda vandidam digambaram kaashikaa-puraadi-naatha 
kaala-bhairavam bhaje
meaning
I sing songs of praise to you, O cloud-clad guardian of the sacred city of 
Kaashi,whom enlightened yogis such as devarishi Naarada worship. 

The digambara guardian of our sacred forum has yet to expound:-
(1) which tort exactly is Sri Gopala Krishnan using;(2) exactly from what is 
Sri Gopala Krishnan escaping;(3) exactly what vicarious liability is our 
digambara guardian attributing to Sri Gopala Krishnan;(4) exactly what is the 
principle that our digambara guardian says is breached:(5) how did this 
"principle" "give vent" to Adam and Eve?(6) what does our digambara guardian 
mean by "giving vent"?(7) by adding "etc" after Adam and Eve, whom exactly does 
our digambara guardian mean?(8) does he include the whole human race, and in 
particular himself?

QUERY NO. 2:-
Sri Rajaram Krishnamurthy KR IRS has apparently produced and published his own 
personal interpretation and English translation of the Rig Vedam.
He writes:-
"Surya and Moon were paid as husband and wife. 

"Lovely was Surya's robe: she came to that which Gatha had adorned.




"Thought was the pillow of her couch, sight was the unguent for her eyes:  Her 
treasury was earth and heaven. When Surya went unto her Lord.

"The Sun-God Savitar bestowed his willing Surya on her Lord.

"Bright were both Steers that drew it when Surya approached her husband's, home.


"Surya, proceeding to her Lord, mounted a spirit-fashioried car. 




"The bridal pomp of Surya, which Savitar started, moved along.




"Closely unite thy body with this; man, thy lord.





"The Brahman who knows Surya well deserves the garment of the bride.





"For thee, with bridal train, they, first, escorted Surya to her home.






"Give to the husband in return, Agni, the wife with progeny."




All this means:




(1) Surya was the groom and the Moon was the bride.

(2) This despite the fact that we know both Surya and Chandra were males.

(3) Surya was suddenly a woman, and some unnamed person was the groom and her 
"lord". 

(4) Surya is to "Closely unite her body with this; man, thy lord". 

(5) It is a marriage of mortal human beings, not celestials.

(6) Surya and her "lord" are expected to have sexual intercourse, as man and 
wife.

(7) Surya's husband is Agni. 

(8) Agni and Surya, by sexual intercourse, are to produce (human?) "progeny".




My congratulations to creative writer Sri Rajaram Krishnamurthy for revealing 
the secret contents of his oft-quoted Rig Vedam, especially that:-




(a) initially, Surya and the Moon were husband and wife.

(b) suddenly Surya changed gender, became the wife and Agni became her husband.

(c) Savitr became Surya the bride's father, and gave her away in marriage.

(d) Surya and Agni are expected to have sexual intercourse as man and wife.

(e) As such, they are to produce "progeny".




We do not expect Sri Rajaram Krishnamurthy to know that, according to our 
venerated "Purusha Sooktham", the Moon (chandra) was born from the Virad 
Purusha's heart, and Surya was born from His eye.  They were therefore 
siblings, both were male, whose marriage would perhaps be incest.



QUERY NO.3:-
Vainly trying to justify the alleged imaginary supremacy of Sree Suktham, he 
filched from what he called "Markendeya Puraanam" but was in reality Sree 
Durghaa Saptha-shathi (Devi Maahaathmyam) one out-of-context quote:
"yaa devi sarva bhootheshu lakshmi roopena samsthithaa".
Why did he deliberately hide what every Shaakthaa knew: that Devi was and is 
also worshipped as:-
vishnu maayaa, buddaa, nidraa, kshudhaa, chchaayaa, SHAKTHI, thrishnaa, 
kshaanthi, jaathi, lajjaa, shaanthi, shraddaa, kaanthi, vruththi, smruthi, 
dayaa, thrushti, maathru, and bhraanthi? 
QUERY NO. 4:-
Gleefully leaping to the bait and swallowing it hook, line and sinker, when 
Markandeyulu Yeddanapudim dangled some nonsense in bold blue font, Sri Rajaram 
Krishnamurthy proclaimed to the whole world thatwhat his devotee wrote "is 
found in the vedams".  Sri R K meant of course the Rig Vedam, the Yajur Vedam, 
the Saama Vedam, and the Atharva Vedam.
Can he say in which of these four Vedams is "it" found, and exactly where?
Certainly NOT in the Yajur Vedam. 
Sri Mark Yedda immediately responded by a knee-jerk adorative screed expressing 
unbounded adoration of his living, breathing, responsive, human god.
And can the itchy couple please stop the sickening mutual back-scratching in 
public?  If both are suffering from scrofula or other skin disease, can they 
take their complaints to the nearest doctor, and leave us all alone?

Pranam1   concrete, in construction,structural material consisting of a hard, 
chemically inert particulatesubstance, known as aggregate (usually sand and 
gravel), thatis bonded together by cement and water.
WEST BELIEVES: Among the ancient Assyrians andBabylonians, the bonding 
substance most often used was clay. The Egyptians developed asubstance more 
closely resembling modern concrete by using lime and gypsum as binders.Lime 
(calcium oxide), derived from limestone, chalk, or (where available)oyster 
shells, continued to be the primary pozzolanic,or cement-forming, agent until 
the early 1800s. In 1824 an English inventor,Joseph Aspdin, burned and ground 
together a mixture of limestone and clay. Thismixture, called portland 
cement,has remained the dominant cementing agent used in concrete production.

Aggregates aregenerally designated as either fine (ranging in size from 0.025 
to 6.5 mm[0.001 to 0.25 inch]) or coarse (from 6.5 to 38 mm [0.25 to 1.5 inch] 
orlarger). All aggregate materialsmust be clean and freefrom admixture with 
soft particles or vegetable matter, because even small quantities of 
organicsoil compounds resultin chemical reactions that seriously affect the 
strength of the concrete.  (SO CONCRETE IS NOT BEHAVING QUEERLY BUT THEMAKERS 
CIVIL ENGINEERS WHO DO NOT DO THE JOB AS SERVICE BUT FOR COOLY ONLY).

Concrete is characterized by the type of aggregate orcement used, by the 
specific qualities it manifests, orby the methods used to produce it. In 
ordinary structural concrete, thecharacter of the concrete is largely 
determined by a water-to-cement ratio. Thelower the water content, all else 
being equal, the stronger the concrete. Themixture must have just enough water 
to ensure that each aggregate particle iscompletely surrounded by the cement 
paste, that the spaces between theaggregate are filled, and that the concrete 
is liquid enough to be poured andspread effectively. Another durability factor 
is the amount of cement inrelation to the aggregate (expressed as a three-part 
ratio—cement to fineaggregate to coarse aggregate). Where especially strong 
concrete is needed,there will be relatively less aggregate.

Thestrength of concrete is measured in pounds per square inch or kilograms 
persquare centimetre of force needed to crush a sample of a given age or 
hardness. Concrete’s strength isaffected by environmental factors, especially 
temperature and moisture. If it is allowed to dryprematurely, it can experience 
unequal tensile stresses that in animperfectly hardened state cannot be 
resisted. In the process known as curing, the concrete iskept damp for some 
time after pouring to slow the shrinkage that occurs as ithardens. Low 
temperatures also adversely affectits strength. To compensate for this, an 
additive such as calciumchloride is mixed in with the cement. This accelerates 
the setting process,which in turn generates heat sufficient to counteract 
moderately lowtemperatures. Large concrete forms that cannot be adequately 
covered are notpoured in freezing temperatures.{ hence well learned civil engg 
wait to play with the concrete and therest wonder why it happened}

Concrete that has beenhardened onto imbedded metal (usuallysteel) is called 
reinforcedconcrete, or ferro concrete. Plain concrete does not easily 
withstandstresses such as wind action, earthquakes, and vibrations and other 
bendingforces and is therefore unsuitable in many structural applications.  
Another innovation in masonry constructionis the use of prestressedconcrete. It 
is achieved by either  pretensioning or posttensioning processes.In addition to 
its potential for immense strength and its initial ability toadapt to virtually 
any form, concrete is fire resistant and has become one ofthe most common 
building materials in the world. (Encyclopaedia Britannica)

I said west: How Indians did? KARIKALAN AND KALLANAITRICHY: It is the 
2000-year-old Grand Anicut located in Tamil Nadu, India. This Indian 
engineeringmasterpiece is one of the designs throughout history to inspire the 
perfection of damsused today. Its uniquestructure majorly involves several 
large unhewn stones extending across theKaveri, stuck in the Cauvery river to 
divert the flow of current to the fertiledelta. The dam is 329 meters long, 20 
meters wide and 5.4meters high. It wasable to irrigate 69,000 acres of land in 
the fertile delta. Before themodifications made by the British, the original 
Kallanai dam had some uniquedesign features which worked well for both the 
environment and residents. Thesefeatures include the curved shape of the 
masonry section, an irregular descent,and a sloping crest.

These featuresreshaped the water current flowing towards the dam smoothly and 
it had a goodsedimentation process.  noconcrete) Theprocess involved in the 
construction includes cutting and placing rocks. Rockcutting process includes 
punching holes into the rocks, inserting wedges intothose holes, apply water 
and streaking.

  The BrihadisvaraTemple is built mainly of granite and the large blocks of 
stone weretransported to the site from 50 km away. The stones were raised to 
the requiredheight by constructing an inclined plane. The temple consists of 
the srivimana,ardhamandapa (front pavilion), mahamandapa (assembly hall), mukha 
mandapa(community hall) and a Nandi-mandapa in front. The main vimana of the 
temple isespecially unique, reaching a height of around 200 feet. The 
Nandi-mandapa isalso a striking component of the temple as it houses a huge 
monolithicsculpture of Nandi, the bull and vehicle of Shiva. The sculpture is 
estimatedto weigh around 25 tons. There is a large courtyard with a 
circumscribingtrichy-churru-maligai (a raised, covered and columned verandah.  
The defensive structures, which included amoat and fortification walls, make 
Brihadisvara a unique temple. This could bebecause Brihadisvara was not only a 
temple meant for public worship but it alsoserved as the royal shrine for the 
use of the royal family whose palace was inits vicinity. Outside, there are two 
further walls of the enclosure, the outerwall being a defensive one with 
bastions and gun-holes. This was added to thecomplex in 1777 CE. The fortified 
wall in the complex has two gopurams. In thecourtyard (prakara), there are two 
major shrines, that of deities Amman andSubrahmanyar, and a number of other 
smaller ones. A later mandapa in thenorth-eastern corner of the courtyard and 
two gopurams in the eastern perimeterwalls complete the complex. ( and done 
with the lime mortar and notconcrete).

Being  a compilation there may  be errors 

 

Q1         What are the things CivilEngineers know while others don't?

A1          Prathyaksh Shetty UpdatedOctober 3, 2016 MTech from IIT Madras

1. Concrete is the second mostconsumed material on the planet by humans. On an 
average, three metric tonnes per person is produced annually.(btw, first is 
water)

2. Concrete is an erraticmaterial. Most of the time, we don't know why it 
behaves the way it does. But, you don't know that we don't know, so we pretend 
toknow. (Sorry for bursting the bubble my civil engineering comrades. :p)

3. ​Soil is fine. Water is fine. Soil+Water is...well, f***!

4. Steel loses most of itsstrength during fire even with a temperature well 
below its melting point. Thisis one of the main reasons why the World Trade 
Centercollapsed on 9/11. The 9/11 conspiracy theorists ignore this simple fact 
andjust babble about the jet fuel fire not being hot enough to have melted 
thesteel and ignorantly deduce that the collapse was a result of 
controlleddemolition.

​5. The lines you see onconcrete roads are actually cracks created along a 
straight line by us purposefully so that the concrete doesn't crack onits own 
elsewhere and look shabby.

​6. There are moments atintersections when all the signals are red. This 
usually lasts for 2 secondsafter every green cycle to facilitate clearing 
ofvehicles from the junction. In other words, during this all-red phase, you 
canactually jump the red light without risking a collision, provided, of 
course,you are the only one doing it.

(Disclaimers: 1. Please do not experiment this, it's very dangerous, notto 
mention an offence; 2. This all-red phase may not be functional at allsignals)

​7. While negotiating a curve oran intersection in your car, there is only a 
short length of roadway that is visually accessible to you. However, we 
havedesigned that length so that it's adequate to avoid a collision based on 
yourbody's reaction time. However,this distance is not sufficient if you are 
listening to music because itincreases your reaction time, meaning you are more 
likely to crash intothat oncoming vehicle or a tree if you are enjoying your 
favorite music. HappyJourney!

​8. Indians not following lane-discipline is actuallya good thing. It increases 
the capacity of the road because of more efficientmovement of mixed traffic and 
hence causes less traffic jams than if they weredisciplined.**

​9. Flyovers don't solve congestion, they onlyrelocate it to somewhere 
downstream.

​​10. High speeds don't cause accidents, differentspeeds do.

To illustrate, a highway with only cars, all moving at 160+ speeds isless prone 
to accidents as compared to the one with cars, trucks and othervehicles with 
variable speeds even if the speed does not exceed 100.

​​11. We would be able to save a lot of tax payersmoney in the construction and 
maintenance of public sewer systems if people took shit at differenttimes 
during the day instead of everyone doing it in the morning. Thesewer pipes are 
currently designed for three times the average flow of sewageto accommodate 
just that few peak hours of the morning rendering the systemredundant at other 
times.

​12. We can literally treat the sewage to an extentthat it becomes as good as a 
bottled mineral water. 

​13. And finally, any building can collapse. Anytime. We don't design buildings 
to not collapse. We just make them less probable. The ceiling that you stareat 
while laying on bed, may come crumbling down while you are asleep. GoodNight!

-----------------------------------------------------------

**Edit 1: Some people arefinding it hard to appreciate point no. 8 about 
undisciplined lane manners being a good thing. I respect your opinion.I feel 
it's a wishful thinking though. We expect something to be true justbecause it's 
nice. But physical laws do not share our prejudice. It is what itis. Having 
said that let me elaborate on that point.

I am not implying that breakingtraffic laws is good. I'm justtalking about this 
specific case applicable to countries like India, Thailand,Malaysia etc., i.e. 
maintaining a lane discipline will cause more trafficdelays. If India, however, 
had only cars on its roads like in the US, followinglanes systematically would 
have been beneficial. But, India has a mixed trafficwith enormous volume of 
two-wheelers. The two-wheelers currently squeeze intothe space between the cars 
and clear the intersection quickly at green signal.This results is passing of 
more vehicles per hour i.e. the capacity of a roadincreases and hence the delay 
decreases. I am not condoning the act. I agreethat we need to incorporate 
substantial traffic measures that would makepeople's lives better. Thanks.

Edit 2:I've grossly exaggerated point 13.

 

Q2         Should I quit my job? Ihave 2 years of employment agreement with my 
current employer but I'm notfeeling motivated to work there. I'm passionate 
about programming but I don'tlike those meaningless meetings & sudden changes 
to the project.

A2          Bhuvana Rameshwar marriedfor three decades Thu

I gave this advice to my youngerbrother and my son as they both are married 
with a wife and daughter each.

Do not leave a job before youget the next one. Only if sure of the next job 
think of leaving the current one.Carry on calmly until then.

As soon you are sure of the next job, its requirements, your passion inthis 
field then give a two /three months notice    asusually asked by companies and 
resign with a good pleasant reason. Do notantagonize the previous company when 
moving to the next.

I hear during covid times itis difficult to get a job but easier to be benched 
or taken out. So be careful.

And one more thing do not tell even your shadow you are planning to quithere 
and take a new job. Chairs,tables and walls, all have ears so keep the quitting 
and transition a secret.It works for both ways.. that is if you quit or if you 
change your mind andcontinue here itself.

 

Q3         How was Lord Shiva'sbirth? Who were his parents?

A3          Mahesh K Reader at MITVedic Sciences (2020–present)3m ago

the supreme triad, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva have origins from Rig 
Veda..Swayambhu (primal seed of creation or Cosmic Self) became Brahma, 
Hiranyagarbha(primeval womb or Cosmic Potentiality) became Vishnu and Aum 
(primordial soundor Cosmic Reality) became Rudra Shiva..

 

Q4         I had my gallbladderremoved about 15 years ago, but recently someone 
told me they could see I stillhad one in a scan. How is this possible?

A4          Jitendra Mistry ConsultantGI surgeon & founder at Mission 
Gastrocare, an Institute ofGastroenterology, Liver-Pancreas & GI Cancer 
Sciences May 30

Once gall bladder is removed, itcan’t reappear again; but thereis a catch here 
which everyone needs to understand before making anyassumption.

When we do laparoscopic gall bladder removal, we apply a clip on cysticduct, a 
part where it joins with other system and cut and remove. When diseaseis very 
bad, area around this joint is not clear, anatomy is bad. So, in 
suchsituations, we do somethingknown as subtotal cholecystectomy where a part 
of gall bladder, around a cm orso kept inside and sutured. So, such part may be 
seen in scan.

 

Q5         Do we eat food so as toobey the second law of thermodynamics?

A5          Zot Ljungberg, works atIAR Systems Answered July 21, 2020

We usually eat food because we are hungry, or because the food is good.

The 2nd law of thermodynamics is, as other natural laws, a descriptivelaw, that 
describes how nature works. It is not something you can chose to obey or 
disobey.

The 2nd law applies to closedsystems, where no energy is added or removed. 

Our bodies are not closed systems. When we eat we add energy to the body,which 
will help to lower the entropy of the body. So you could say that we eatto 
disobey the 2nd law (but I would rather say that eating counteracts thelaw).

Q6         From where did the energythat caused the Big Bang come from?

A6          Krister Sundelin April15 E-learning Producer (2020–present)

A: We actually don’t know whether there was nothing before the Big Bang,or even 
if there was a before. Wesimply cannot see that far back. And since we cannot 
see that far back,the Big Bang theory “only” explains the history of the 
universe, not the originof the universe.

But we can speculate. Options include:

An earlier phase of the universe (Eternal Inflation)

An earlier universe (Big Bounce, Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, PredecessorBlack 
Holes)

The universe has always been here(Near Miss version of Big Bounce)

And of course, nothing.

None of the options mentioned (and there are others) violate physics aswe know 
it.

Buteven if you assume that there was nothing before the Big Bang, you can 
stillhave a valid explanation of where the energy came from.

You see, you can regard gravitational potential as negative energy,meaning that 
you can cancel out matter and energy from the equation. That way,the net total 
energy of the universe would be zero, and the principle ofconservation of 
energy is preserved.

This hypothesis is aptly called the Zero Energy Universe hypothesis. Likethe 
others, it does not violate physics as we know it, but it cannot be tested.

But the point is not that any of these speculations are true, but that itis 
possible to theoretically make universes without violating the laws ofphysics.

 

Q7         Why did Ekalavya cut offhis finger and give it to Guru Dronacharya?

A7          Kavana N Lives inBangalore, Karnataka.3m ago

When Dronacharya and his disciples were roaming in the forest, a dog wasbarking 
which was thenmade to shut its mouth with some 7 arrows .

All were shocked to see arrows coming from somewhere and doing this work. Drona 
went in thedirection and saw a Princepracticing Archery.Then drona asked 
Ekalavya, who was his teacher . To this , Ekalavya answeredThat Drona was only 
his teacher and he used to hide and learn from Drona.

So, Drona knowing who Ekalavyawas ,asked his thumb as Gurudakshina. Since, it

Q8         Have you ever thoughtthat if you had a different parent, life could 
be better?

A8          Ramya Annadurai TechnicalWriter (2007–present) Thu

Yes. Many times. 

My mother was very strict towards me every time. My grandma was my world.

I wished my granny to be my mom.My aunt (Usha) loved me a lot.I wished tobe 
Usha Aunt’s daughter.

Once Icame to knew about my mom’s struggles, I decided that “I want to be my 
mom’sdaughter forever”.

 

Q9         In Mahabharata, all thePandavas were very strong and intelligent. 
Why did only eldest brotherYudhisthir give the answer of Yaksha where all 
others failed?

A9          Deepak Surana Entrepreneurand Author (2017–present)Fri

Yudhishthir was the embodiment of Dharma. Eventhough all his brothers were 
intelligent they were not as calm as him. 

They relied more on weaponsthan on intelligence to overcome their enemy whereas 
Yudhishthir knew how tojudiciously use both at various times. 

Perhaps he was the only Pandava brother who could come out of a crisissituation 
repeatedly through his intelligence. (Sahadeva did it once during hisconquest 
against King Nila). Yudhishthir knew and believed that truth,intelligence and 
justice are bigger weapons than a bow, mace or a sword.

Hence it's understandable thatYudhishthir easily answered the questions while 
his brothers did not even bother to pay heed to them.

 

Q10       Have you ever witnessed amarriage being called off days before? What 
was the reason?

A10        Bhuvana Rameshwar marriedfor three decades Wed

My friend's son's wedding wascalled off just 3 days before the wedding. She was 
my friend from our days in PG studies in Chennai, Presidencycollege.

The groom, her son is a smartdoctor with a MD. My friend’shusband is also a 
doctor who retired recently from Apollo hospitals. He is a little money 
mindedand a miser. 

Add to that a little arrogance. So instead of looking for girls fromIndia, 
Tamilnadu he chose his Dr. friend's daughter as bride. The girl was a lawyer a 
second generation UK settled. Theyfixed everything online with a few meetings 
in the girl’s house in London.

This way he planned to get a fat dowry and an easy pathway for his son togo 
abroad for his future prospects. He kept making demands on the girl’sfamily. 
One important point he overlooked was that the girl wasa practising lawyer in 
London. She couldn't tolerate thefrequent dowry and otherdemands by the groom's 
father.

The arguments went on even after their grand engagement in Chennai .Finally the 
wedding day was coming nearer. The UK people were already stayingin a big hotel 
in Chennai. But there were a lot of misunderstandings brewing between the 
parentsof the groom and bride. My friend is very soft spoken but when itcomes 
to protecting her husband and son she has the choicest of harsh words. 
Wefriends didn't know the misunderstandings were going on. A common friend of 
ours who isalso her relative gave me this information.

Just three days before the wedding we got a WhatsApp message saying “the 
marriage stands cancelled”.No reason was given. 

When I asked my friend after a few months she said the girl loved a boy in UK 
and sheherself stopped the wedding.  

My note-  Canit be the reason??

The boy is still unmarried because of the covid 19 situation in India.
