Q1 Is " hot and cold a.c."less durable in comparison to " cool only " a.c.? A1 RBal, Works @ leading Air Conditioner manufacturer Answered Mar 8, 2017 You cannot reallyanswer this question. Durability heavily depends upon Service, Ambience andUsage. Let me explain the difference between these two I am consideringSplit Units. There are two separate units - Indoor and Out Door units which areconnected through copper pipes. For a cool only AC,refrigerant will flow only in one direction. Indoor will act as an EvaporatingUnit and Outdoor will act as a condensing Unit. This is fixed and no changescan be made. But in case of Hot & Cool, both the units(Indoor and Outdoor) can act as both Condenser Unit as well as Evaporating Unit. This is done with the help of 3 way valve which willchange the direction of refrigerant as per the requirement.

Q4 Is it true that in China, almost nopeople believe in God? A4 KanthaswamyBalasubramaniam Wed To a Great Extent, this is True I mean - Chinesegenerally aren’t very religious people , not just in mainland China but eventhe youngsters in Singapore or HK who are generally Freethinkers (Agnostics) ,though their older parents may be buddhists IN General -Chinese follow religions that are less religion and more a way of life likeTaoism or Confucianism or Buddhism all of which are becoming more and moreirrevelant to todays way of living and life. Now Christiansbelieve there is a God who is the father of Jesus Christ, Muslims believe thereis Allah who guides them through the Prophet and his successors or through hiswords, Hindus believe there are Gods who bless the people but the Chinese believe in noneof this. LIke the Japanese, the CHinese believe in just a way oflife - that is - if youdo a handful of things - you can maybe escape rebirth and find nirvana.

A8 AishwaryaKher 16h | | | | | | | | | | | Why do Indian adults live with their parents and grandparents? Don't the... Aishwarya Kher's answer: The moment you talk about personal space and independence with Indian parents and grand... | | | The moment you talkabout personal space and independence with Indian parents and grandparents,you’ll be immediately labelled as a selfish, ungrateful, spoiled brat who hasforgotten his/her culture. These terms sendshock waves in several Indian households. The societal normsfavour those who sacrifice unnecessarily for family, and severely judge thosewho just wish to live a happy independent life without harming anyone else. It’s not that young adults don’t want independentliving, they (especially men) are conditioned to believe that this would mean‘leaving’ their parents who raised them.A woman’s parents condition her differently, which is equally ridiculous. We can never repayour parents for their efforts and should remain grateful, but it does not meanthat they are allowed to control our lives. Get a pet instead. Indian grandparentsabove the age of 70 cannot be expected to understand now because they did notkeep up with the evolving times. Too much changes happened in India too soon inlast 20–25 years. Most Indian parents fail to understand that living inseparate houses and wanting independence indecision making & lifestyle does not mean that the elders are forgotten andwon’t be cared for. It does not mean that moral values are forgotten. It only means thatpeople need space to express themselves for a better mental and physical wellbeing. Young adults justwant to pursue their interests and make choices without being subjected tocritical analysis of older generations. To those who wouldlikely comment “No, my parents are’nt like that, we are pretty liberal” -Awesome, I’m happy for you; but this doesn’t change the fact that thestereotypical image of Indian adults living with their parents is not yetbroken. It’s a reality in several households. Apart from allthis, there are grassroot issues of poverty, less resources and more thanrequired people in India. Hence,living under one roof is economical for many adults. Q9 Why must farmers awake at 4 AM tomilk the cows? Why not just wait until a more reasonable time, like 8 AM? Won'tthe cows adjust? A9 WayneHajas Oct 30 With modern roboticmilkers, cows wander into the milking parlour whenever they want. Cows like to be milked more thantwice a day.When milking was a more manual process, as a compromiseto the cows, they were milked every twelve hours. Some farmers choseto milk at 4am, have breakfast, do some more work, milk again at 4pm, eatdinner and then have a relatively normal evening with a chance to socializewith people who weren't dairy farmers. Some farmers choseto milk at 8am and 8pm but that meant they would be out in the barn until 11pm.It was a personal choice as long as the cows got milked every 12 hours. Q10 Even Indians who largely view theBritish Raj negatively, can they admit there was anything positive aboutBritish rule? A10 Balaji Viswanathan History buff Sat Some positives out of the British rule: English language as a common denominator forIndia. Middle class Indians learned English as the first language due to thecolonial history that was instrumental in this group rising to the top of thecorporate ladder across the world. Cricket as a national pastime. India didn’t have asport that connected people across the country. Cricket filled that gap. A generation of freedom fighters. India’s freedommovement produced a generation of amazing leaders — Gandhi, Bose, Patel, Nehru,Rajaji etc. Without the freedom movement, we would not have as many greatpolitical leaders to look up to. That’s about it. Some of the things that peopleconsider as positives, but not really so: Uniting India as a country. Before the British came,there was the Mughal rule where most of the subcontinent was under onepolitical rule. And British competed with the Marathas for uniting the country.The nation’s geography meant that it was always hard for a lot of competingpowers to live together in the same subcontinent. India would have been as onepolitical with or without the British. Railway system. This is again touted as a positive ofthe Raj, but not really so. Countries across the world adopted railways as anefficient way to move things. Japan was not colonised and has among the bestrailway systems. Just as Indiadidn’t require to be colonised by the Americans to adopt computerisation or theInternet, India didn’t need to be colonised to get the railways technology.Tech progress go on without any need for political unions.
