This posting has approximately 207 sentences Q1 WhenArjuna can fight without a chariot, Ram and Lakshman can also fight withoutchariots, then what happened to Karna, the so-called best archer, that hestopped fighting and took off the wheel? A1 Skanda Veera A studentof Indian knowledge September 4, 2020 Rama-Ravana was a strict duel. In Mahabharata there were groupengagements which were not against norms. Not just Karna or Arjuna, even Shalyaas a general was engaged in a group battle. General usually has protectors ofsides and wheels, and they are usually well known warriors themselves. So ifKarna was in a position to retrieve the wheel it means his associated warriors,helpers were all neutralized or disarmed and Karna the general was isolated.The moment that happens, the army has already lost its war. General is supposedto be protecting the army and guiding it. If he has no protectors or guards,and if he can be rendered helpless the general and army are collapsing. So Karna having to retrieve the wheel means much more than whether he canfight from the ground or not. Coming to the personal aspect, what Arjuna and Rama-Lakshmana had andwhat Karna lacked was atma bala. He depended on others for his self respect,for his confidence, for his ability to perform. He was not an inward lookingman who depended on his own mind and abilities but looked for external factorsto align. Weapons or charioteer or chariot. The strange fact is Karna being brought up by a royal charioteer. Yetlooks out for a charioteer. Even when the charioteer gauges the movement of theenemy and warns of a missing target, Karna leaves arrow as is and missesArjuna's head. He has no spare chariots in the time of crisis, and he is leftpulling up stuck wheels. What this tells us: Karna did not respect his foster father's professionand did not understand its importance. He only respected the fact that he wasbrought up by Adiratha. He did not therefore, invest in that skill and did notderive any benefits of that skill. Rama and Arjuna both learned and mastered chariot driving, because it isessential for archers to be able to gauge mobile targets, to navigate better inthe field, to fight while driving on occasions. They derived the benefits ofthe skill because they respected it, and did not have any situation where theywere in want of that skill. Q2 Howdid humankind survive without fire before it was 'invented'? A2 Matt Riggsby MAArchaeological Studies, Boston University Fri Fire was invented about 1.8 million years ago, about 1.5 million yearsbefore humankind, strictly speaking, came to exist. The species that discoveredfire was Homo erectus, not long after they developed from their predecessorHomo habilis. When we finally came on the scene about 300,000 years ago, it wasas the product of a million and a half years of evolution which involved theavailability of fire, and we as a species have never been without it. So how did Homo habilis survive without fire? Probably by living muchlike our close cousins the chimpanzees. They probably ate a lot of fruit andleaves, grinding them with much heavier, stronger jaws than ours, and nibbledon insects now and again Q3 DidDevi Radha marry someone called Aayan? If yes, who is he and which scripturestalk about him? A3 Lakshmi Narayanputra- Studiedat 10th Class in India3h ago Not Mata Radha but her shadow married Ayan as Ayan was the shadow of LordKrishna.

As righteousness is dear to me, as Brahmanas are specially dear to me,(by the merit of that disposition of mine)let Abhimanyu's son, who is borndead, revive! Never hath a misunderstanding arisen between me and my friendVijaya. Let this dead child revive by that truth!

Q5 Why didn'tKunti tell her 5 sons that Karna was their elder brother early? A5 ivya Singh Designer at Crux(2013–present)June 14 because she promised her best freind that she will not open her mouth ,she will hide everything related to her past , in order to save Karna and herimage in front of the king Pandav. Q6 Whenboth husband and wife are working after marriage and living with the husband'sfamily, my mother-in-law told me to buy her clothes. What should I do? Is itright to spend your salary on in-laws? A6 Bhuvana Rameshwar -marriedfor three decades Fri My mil did not have any big demands. Actually she didn't buy new clothesas that generation lived with just enough of everything not like mine or yourswherein we get new clothes at the drop of a hat. Now I buy my own clothes but I also get sari or dress gifts often from myson and dil. I tell them not to give me silk sarees. Sometimes I myself choosethe cotton dresses I want through amazon and they order them for me. Yet we used to gift our mil sarees for festivals, birthdays or for ourextended family gatherings. She wore only old saris at home so I persuaded herto wear all her silk sarees and use them , not to keep it for others or handthem over to her daughter. I sighted the example of my own grandmothers whowore only kanchipuram silk at home. Those home wear ones do have too much ofzari, are lighter in weight and washable at home. I think they are good qualitysilk. In fact those silk sarees got better after each wash. Such was therequality those days. I always gifted my mil simple silk saris, sober colours, light weightones so that she wore them at home or for a visit. And I asked her to wear andtear them by good use, not to store or give to others or me later. I have regularly ironed her clothes after a wash and even stitched herpetticoats in my sewing machine. It is very satisfying to do things for othersespecially inlaws. If we gave her good, bright silk sarees she usually stocked them to giveaway to her daughter or returned it to the same dil after some years ! May beshe wore it once of twice, that's all. Some of her dils joked to me that theygave her their personal favourite colours knowing very well it would eventuallycome back to the giver one day! So getting her clothes, sarees, gifts with your full heart either fromyour money or husband's is a good thing to do. Involve children too in thisshopping for them to learn the art of giving. If she is not satisfied or cribsthen ask her what she wants or skip one giving session promptly. Q7 Whydid Goddess Lakshmi choose to have Lord Vishnu as her consort, instead of LordBrahma or Lord Shiva, when she came out of the ocean during the samudramanthan?

Q8 InMahabharata, is it true that Draupadi has some special soft corners for Arjunathan the other four Pandavas? A8 Bharathi V Follow Student ofKMG/ BORIJune 16 She had immense love and respect for Arjuna, no question. Whether it wasless or more than what she felt for others is a tricky question. How do wemeasure love?? Is it possible to say that we love our mother more than ourfather or love one sibling more than another?

Q12 Whatis the scope of M.D. (Radiodiagnosis) in India? A12 R.K. Shwetabh PediatricSpecialist at Government of Odisha (2020–present)August 17, 2020 My wife has done DMRD (2014-2016),has done SR ship in DDU(Delhi), thenpvt practice for about 1 Yr and is secondary DNB (Radio Diagnosis) residentnow. So I can give you a fair idea about its scope. There are two types of options after M. D. /DNB Radiology 1.Join any govt hospital. Get fixed salary. Few states allow pvt practicealso, so if you give few hours to it then its good. But this is less preferredoption for maximum candidates. 2. Do pvt practice. This thing is booming. With the advent of evidencebased medicine, maximum doctors want radiological investigations done beforetreatment. The starting salary of radiologist is 1.5–2 lakh if he does USG andXray only daily for 4–5 hr. There can be fixed salary or you can agree on sharebased system. In share based system radiologist gets 25-33% of total cost ofinvestigation. So if a USG costs 1000 rs than radiologist will get 250–350 rs.Similarly in higher investigation like MRI, CT scan. The advantage od radiology is that the starting salary is very good inrespect to other branches. A radiologist who can handle all modalities i. e. USG, X ray, CT, MRI caneasily earn 3 lakh per month in a centre doing all investigations by giving 6–8hr. So,the positive points of radio are early settlement, almost noemergency, chances of violence less, more like a corporate job. But the downside is that firstly, Radio Diagnosis is still considered aspara clinical by few people and the income does not rises above 4–5 lakh ingeneral per month where as in other branches if your practice is going goodthan only sky is the limit.
