A4 StevenHaddock Lives in Toronto, ON (1959–present)August27 The most expensive country in the worldright now, and it has been for quite some considerable period of time, isSwitzerland.

Q5 Is there any biological reason whytrees give fruits? A5 Krishna Suryakanth Studied sciencein schoolAugust 28 Doyou see this cotton seed? Whyit is designed so? A seed in center and a long white stuff arround. Because itspurpose is to float in the air and move far away. Why it needs to move faraway? Whena seed falls from the parent tree near the parent tree, chances of survival isless because there is already a tree which is consuming space, water, miniraland sunlight. So the cotton pants make sure the seedsgo far away to improve the survival chances. This is just one method. Not all plants use this method. Someplants generate fruits so that animals eat them. Some seeds do not get digestand they come out in excreta and the excreta acts as manure. Mostof the seeds are bitter and animals usually throw or spit them out and that exactlywhat the plants want. Nowthink!! Does it mean plants know that animalexists? Yes theyknow. Does that mean plants know what kind of taste interests animals and makefruits? Yes, it takes thousands of years of evolution but yes. Why don't all mongeos taste the same?Because they areevolving. Does it mean plants are intelligent? Yes, I bet my home. They aremuch more smart than we actually think. Believe it or not there is a thingcalled plant behaviour. Q6 What are the advantages of eating our food in abanana leaf?

It is just open so youjust shower right in front of the toilet and sink. Its sorta uncomfortablebecause some people urinate in the shower and you might be stepping on urine.If you wonder how it works there is a drain in the floor and as you can see thefloor is made up of tiles to prevent mold. When I went to Korea I didn’t knowwhat to do so I got water everywhere. There is always Kimchi when eatinganything. Somepeople even eat it with fried chicken. Its like a refresher for your palate. Itmakes the taste and greasiness go away. Korea does not sell deodorant. Youmay occasionally find it but no one uses deodorant in Korea.

Q8 Recently 'Varanasi' railway stationwas renamed to it's old name 'Banaras'. But why was it changed to 'Varanasi' inthe first place? A8 Himanshu Bharti Lives in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India July16 Letme correct here something first. ‘Varanasi’ railway station has not beenrenamed as ‘Banaras’ rather it’s Manduadih railway station which is renamed. Itwill now be known as Banaras railway stationwhich was already approved by the Governor of UP & the ministry of HomeAffairs. I see it as a welcome step. Since,Varanasi had already been equipped with Varanasi junction railway station so the need was felt for ananother station due to high load of trains & passengers. This is howManduadih station came into existence with much better facilities which is fewkilometres away from the former one. Itwas necessary to rename it as many foreigners & new tourists from acrossthe country were being fudged by the local transport owners. They used tocharge very high as they were new to the city. Also, many used to getbamboozled after hearing that the same station is in Varanasi. Credit should also be given to Mr.Manoj Sinha who iscurrently serving as the lieutenant governor of Jammu & Kashmir because heput forth the proposal for the same. North Eastern Railways(NER) has nowimplemented & completed the process. Signboardshave been changed by writing the ‘name’ in Hindi, Sanskrit, English & Urdu.Looksamazing!

A10 Darcy CristaudoLives in Queensland,Australia Updated July 1 Oneof the biggest unknown facts of Australia is something that very few foreignersare aware of and something many Australians aren’t even aware of.

Not every where is hotand in many areas it can get quite cold so much so that in virtually everysingle state of Australia it sometimes snowsotes of Bori CE mentioned them tobe Drupada sons Q11 What is the difference between old LHB3rd economy AC coach and new LHB 3rd economy AC coach? A11 BhaleraoKnows about trains.August 13 First of all, there is no 3rd economyclass in any coachtype or train of India. It is Second Class AC 3-Tier Sleeper. The class isdenoted by the code 3A but many people are calling/classifying it as 3rd class.The Second Class AC 3-Tier Economy Class may be denoted by the code 3E. Asregards to the difference between older AC 3-Tier and newer AC-3Tier (bothLHB), there are some major and minor differences. A universal change across all AC classes (including AC-1,AC-2, AC-3 and AC-3E) is that a lot of AC equipment has been moved to under thecarriage. This has allowed an increase in the number of berths per coachto 83 (up from 72). The other changes are: Seat/berthmaterial is made up of fire-resistant fabric Foldabletrays ACvent for each berth Magazine,mobile holder utility side pouch, charging point for each berth estep ladder to climb to middle and upper berths has been redesigned with betterergonomics Onetoilet is with wider access door and facilities to make it disabled-friendly Thefare will be cheaper However, I have heard that passengers in 3E will not beprovided with sleeping bed-sets (bedsheet, blanket, pillow) - and this is notjust a COVID restriction. They may have to pay for it. Q12 What invention hasn't changed orimproved in the last 100 years?
