Q1 In days to come, will the seniorcitizens of India who are totally
dependent on interest from small savingschemes be able to survive?
A1 Kanthaswamy BalasubramaniamAdvisor andTutor at Staff Selection
Commission Combined Graduate Level Exam (2021–present)April 3
No.They cannot.
The rates aresteadily falling and inflation is steadily rising. So a payment of
Rs. 40,000/- is lower in valuethan it was a year ago yet the interest on the
same sum will belesser than what it was a year ago.
The Future is bleakfor them because they have suddenly been tossed into the
deep end of the Pool.
There are noalternatives except Dubious Mutual Funds or the Equally Dubious
Share Market.Even Rental Income has reduced significantly.
The Solution issomething must be done for Senior Citizens who retired from
Service before2002. Right now there are roughly 4,47,000 Pensioners from Govt
of India, StateGovts , Banks, PSUs who retired on or before 1.1.2003
These People mustbe given the equivalent of Old Age Security.
An AdditionalMonthly Payment of Rs. 12,500/- to Rs. 27,500/- must be paid to
each of thesepersons or a Lumpsum of Rs. 5,25,000/- to Rs. 10,50,000/- whatever
they prefer.
This willcompensate them for the Governments Mismanagement and change of their
way oflife.
This is called Pension Updation and has been goingon for days and weeks and
months and years now. It was proposed by MMS in 2013but not an inch has been
taken towards it.
The Whole Exercisewill cost Rs. 648 Billion or Rs. 64800 Crore
Chicken Feedcompared to how much these Halfwits blow on other things.
Why am i sayingthis??? Because as usual CHINA did
China paid $ 77Billion in 2016, $ 83 Billion in 2017 and $ 105 Billion in 2018
- for the OldAge Population older than 75 years of age under the 90/7/3 Formula.
Old People got dignity. An Old Man with anaverage Pension Plan of 863 Yuan a
month now got 2275 Yuan a month.
That was how Chinamanaged to bring down suffering.
So what should theSenior Citizens do now that Small Savings have been wiped out?
If they can theyshould take the first flight out to China or USA
Otherwise they haveto trust their instincts and start investing in other
ventures!!!!
My note- Whether I get increment or bonus isimmaterial. Our servant lady want
yearly increment and one month bonus duringPongal
Q2 What is the main difference betweenShiv Puran and Vishnu Puran? Who
gave birth to whom?
A2 Sunitha Parapatla Devotee of God Shivaand a Home maker 22h ago
There is no majordifference between Shiva and Vishnu Purana, the only thing is,
Shiva Purana portrays God Shivaas supreme and Vishnu Purana says Shri Vishnu is.
According to ShivaPurana, Shiva is the Supreme God. Once Shri Vishnu and Brahma
fought oversupremacy among themselves, then Shiva manifested himself into a
column offire. And Vishnu and Brahma were not able to find the start and end of
thecolumn, thus reverred Shiva as Mahadev ( Lord of the Lord's ).
According to Vishnu Purana, Shri Vishnu is supremeand Shiva originated from the
eyebrows of Shri Vishnu,and that is why Shiva is mostly in meditative state. It
further states thatVishnu first came into being, and from his navel sprout a
lotus bearing Brahmain it, and from Vishnu’s left side of the body came Shiva.
And both thePuranas were written by Sri Veda Vyasa. Then why did he choose to
write twoseparate puranas for Shiva and Vishnu, when both are same, since he
wanted toconvey that don't try to differentiate between Shiva andVishnu.
There is only supreme God and that is the formless Para_Brahman.
When thePara_Brahman is portrayed as Adi Yogi, then He is Shiva and when He is
shown inthe Yoga nidra and as the protector of the Universe, then He is Shri
Vishnu.
Births exist onlyin the material world and not for Shiva and Vishnu.
Take for instance,Ved Vyasa would have written only Shiva Purana and write
Vishnu Purana, thenhow people would know about greatness of Shri Vishnu and
vice versa ?
Only after reading the Puranas, people will realize thatShiva and Vishnu are
one and the same.
To portray thatShiva and Vishnu are same, and to show the different tasks they
performindividually, Veda Vyasa has written different Puranas for both of them.
Q3 Have you ever gotten face mask advicefrom someone unexpected?
A3 Bhuvana Rameshwar married for threedecades Updated 4h ago
On 23rd May’ 21 wewent for 2nd dose of vaccine. We were happy we got it
promptly as we wentearly. It was a relief as there was a shortage of vaccine
and many of ourfriends were sent back by private hospitals. We both went with
our masksproperly worn.. Husband a shop mask and me, my dupatta (shawl).
While returning myhusband stopped the car to go to the supermarket. I sat in
the car and was busywith the phone. I was alone in the car, car - glass half
raised. So I removedmy dupatta for some time. The road was empty with one or
two cars.
As I finished mymessaging my husband came back and started the car swiftly
towards home. Hetook a right turn within a minute into the main road
I didn't even realize I hadn't worn the mask .Even before I thought about it,
we were stopped by BBMP marshals and spot finedRs 250 by a young marshal .
He wouldn't acceptany excuse or explanation . I cursed myself for not wearing
the mask andsulkingly gave him the money.
What made it worsewas that he advised me once again “madam, wear your mask
regularly when outside”. ☹️
Q4 Ifyou are married, how did you and your spouse determine how much of
your incometo put in a joint account and how much to keep in your own account?
A4 Rachna SethIinvest in relations. Updated Sun
We went as per ourbelief… in our partner and our relationship.
When we got married, both of us were working in similar jobprofiles. When the
question of bills came up, my husband told me there was noneed for both of us
to be occupied by the monetary demands as individuals. We would have one
account forexpenses and another for savings. The former being his and the
latter mine.
By then we had already added each other as joint holders inour individual
accounts on an EORS (either or survivor) basis.
Our logic was simple.We were one. Didn’t make sense to have a his and her
approach without reason. Wedidn’t find any reason. So we approached every
decision, including financialones, as us.
Q5 Whatwas Subhardra's reaction after Abhimanyu’s death in Mahabharata
war?
A5 Ayush R. SoniMythology of modern India Sun
Maharathi Abhimanyu's death was a great lesion to everyperson stood on pandavas
side, and vikarna from kauravas.
Deceitful slaying of Abhimanyu was described in Seventh bookof Mahabharat,
Drona Parv.
DRONA PARV • SECTION 78
“And while cheerless Subhadra,afflicted with grief, was indulging in such
lamentations, the princess of Panchala (Draupadi), accompanied byVirata’s
daughter (Uttara), came to her. All of them, in great grief, weptcopiously and
indulged in heart-rending lamentations. And like persons reft ofreason by
sorrow, theyfainted away and fell down on the earth. Then Krishna, who
stood,ready with water, deeply afflicted, sprinkled it over his weeping,
unconsciousand trembling sister, pierced in her very heart, and comforting her,
said whatshould be said on such an occasion. And the lotus-eyed one said,
‘Grieve not, OSubhadra! O Panchali, console Uttara! Abhimanyu, that bull among
Kshatriyas,hath obtained the most laudable goal. O thou of beautiful face, let
all theother men yet alive in our race obtain that goal which Abhimanyu of
great famehath obtained. Ourselves with all our friends, wish to achieve, in
this battle,that feat, the like of which, O lady, thy son, that mighty
car-warrior, hathachieved without any assistance.’ Having consoled his sister
and Draupadi andUttara thus, that chastiser of foes, viz., the mighty-armed
(Krishna), returnedto Partha’s side. Then Krishna, saluting the kings, friends
and Arjuna, enteredthe inner apartments of the (latter’s) tent while those
kings also repaired torespective abodes.’”
The above verse states the condition of Pandava's camp afterthe death of heir
of panadavas, Abhimanyu.
Subhadra (mother of Abhimanyu), along with Uttara (wife) andDraupadi (step
mother) were fall in the darkness of grief and lamented for thedepartment being.
Krishna came to hissister, Subhadra, and make her understand the fact that,
Abhimanyu had achievedthe feat that even highly potent warriors couldn't
achieve in their multiplelives.
Abhimanyu, bull among men bad achieved most laudable goal onecan perceive in
their life. He died as warrior, as kshatriya, thus obtainedplace in lord's feat.
