Drying was done for 10 minutes. Till recentlydid not check which LED was glowing- deep wash, quick wash or hand wash. 73minutes(deep wash) gave clear wash. 45 minutes (Hand wash) is used for not muchsoiled clothes. Recently technician suggested using liquid detergent to avoid corrosion. Though workinvolved is more, semiautomatic washing machine in my home gives better washand drying. When thick clothes are to be washed, mostly we use semiautomaticmachine. Q2 What isthe most dangerous plant in the wild? A2 Journey into the Wild Victoria Ng Nov 10 Tobacco (Nicotianatabacum). Tobacco is the most widelygrown commercial non-food plant in the world. All parts of theplant, especially its leaves, contain the toxic alkaloids nicotine andanabasine, and can be fatal if eaten. Despite its designation as acardiac poison, nicotine from tobacco is widely consumed around the world andis both psychoactive and addictive. Tobacco use causes more than 5 milliondeaths per year, making it perhaps the most deadly plant in the world. My note- Eating the green leaf is poisonous is a new information to me. Q3 Why doIndian parents find it difficult to arrange the marriages of their childrenthese days? A3 Vishwanath Married just once 43 years ago and stillmarried to the same woman.20h (3 minutesto read / 472 words) I had shared thesethoughts earlier too in some other context and I am reproducing the content withsuitable editing. Because thealternative, that is lovemarriages, are becoming more common, and more acceptable. Because the daysare gone when the boy’s family could dictate terms and lord it over the girl’sfamily. They can no longer act privileged. Because girls arebetter educated these days and finding girls less qualified than boys isbecoming difficult. Because girls earnas much and sometimes even more than the boys. Because girls nowadays have become aware ofthe importance of economic independence and no longer meekly submit to thewishes of their parents and in-laws. They demand equal status in a marriage,something their parents are not comfortable with because the previous generationgenerally gave the males a higher status. Because dowries aremore difficult to extract from the girl’s parents who now boldly refuse to giveif demanded. Because inter-caste love marriages are becomingmore common and thatleaves fewer girls of the same caste that parents of boys seek.Almost all arranged marriages are within the same caste. Becauseopportunities for social mixing of the genders are more common today. Because girls arenow becoming more assertive and will not allow a previous generation to decidewhat is good for them. Because the averageage of couples getting married is now significantly more than what it used tobe. (My mom was married at 14, my wife was 21 (19 when the marriage wasdecided) my daughter got married at 24 and nowadays girls are marrying evenlater). Couples now aremuch older, and economically independent and cannot be dictated to inmatters of marriage. Because youngstersnowadays no longer blindly trust their elders to know what is good for them.Often they know more about what they want than the previous generation. Because the jointfamily is slowly dying. Couplesare no longer willing to live as part of the family of the boy butwant to set up a family of their own as soon as possible and this is easierwhen the marriage is not arranged. Because modernmedia, like TV, films, internet have influenced modern young girls and boys. Today arranged marriages are just an alternativeto love marriages, particularly in the cities.They are common in rural areas where girls and boys don’t get opportunities tomix socially. Lastly, arrangedmarriages used to be the predominant way to get married due to tradition duringour time. In our time love marriages were an exception and not sociallyapproved and did not get family support. But, today millions of boys and girlshave parents who themselves had love marriages in the late eighties and earlynineties and therefore acceptance of love marriages has increased. Inevitably, it will be more difficult to arrangemarriages in the future. At AlladiJagannath’s suggestion let me add: 17. Many parentsset great store by horoscope matching. Many good matches are not consideredbecause an astrologer consulted by either side, or by both sides pronounce thatthe horoscopes do not match. Q4 Duringlanding, do the wheels of the aircraft rotate using the mechanical power ofaircraft? A4 SubhadeepPaul Sat No it really doesn’t. The wheels of anaircraft are no different than wheels of a toy plane in terms that both arefree wheeling. They don’t really have a power source. Every kilogram of weighton aircraft is a luxury. Aircrafts do not need extra mechanisms that not onlyconcerns flight safety, but also leads to weight increase. Moreover theaircraft can slip off the runway if the tangential speed of rotation is higherthan the landing speed of aircraft. That’s the reason why the wheels are free moving &the landing spots of runways have rubber marks from the sudden rotation ofwheels upon landing. Q5 Wheneverthe gas provider comes with a cylinder, he asks us for thirty rupees, whilehome delivery is free. What should I do? A5 ShrutiSWriterSun I suggest you pay them. Since the time wegot access to LPG i.e when I was 8 years old, we pay whatever they ask for, anddo not bargain. With our delivery person, we steadily increased it from INR 20to INR 50 over the years.. As a rule, we give him water, and never once has itbeen denied.. For one, we live in the first floor, wherein the delivery personhas to climb up a flight of stairs lifting 30 odd kilos on a single shoulder,and then climb back down with 14 odd kilos on his shoulder. Imagine doing thatfor 8 hours, every day of your job.. Also, he does not get paid enough; he ispaid an average of 10k a month, which will NOT ensure a good quality of lifeunder current circumstances. In my house, weusually replace a cylinder once in 2/2.5 months. So technically, INR 50 for 2 months, which is INR 25 permonth.. (Is that really really too much?) And what do we get in return?He brings the cylinder into our house, does a seal check himself, and takesback the empty gas cylinder. What would we have got if we chose to waive offthe money? He would place it outside the gate, take the empty cylinder, andleave. We must ensure it is not tampered with by miscreants, maneuver it upstairsourselves, ensuring we do not break our backs or the stairs, wall corners andwhat not.. A woman I knew didn’t want to pay INR 20 (longback), and told the guy to leave it downstairs, and she and her husband wouldlift it upwards, every month.. All for being stingy.. We have had thesame guy come home for 20 years (he is nearing his retirement..) As a result ofour long-standing bond, he has helped us with a lot of tips on how to save ongas, how to choose the best gas tubes/stove tops, and has even once cleaned ourburner for free.. The delivery amountwe pay to the delivery person isn’t extortion. It is just an extension ofgoodwill, or to put it objectively - a well-afforded fee for convenience whichlargely benefits the recipient. My note-Leakage checking is important. Thedelivery man has to do it. Nowadays the delivery person simply asks the code fromphone, simply takes the money and just see the amount is given. But most add 50-00 addition. They simply say OKsir/Madam. I have notseen any one count any extra given or how much is given. In the billit is written PLEASENO TIPS .Check your bill Q6 Why doplane wings have a hook in the center which is generally of yellow colour? A6 SubhadeepPaulSat Interestingobservation. For people who have not noticed, it is this: This tiny yellow hook on the aircraft wing is a safetyequipment. It can save your life. In an event of anemergency landing in water, thishook is used as an attachment point of a rope which is tied between theaircraft door & the inflatable raft. Passengers can hold on toit as they evacuate. This is veryessential because once the plane ditches into water, the wing surface becomestoo slippery for passengers to walk on. One rope is tied between doors &the first hole, the other rope is secured between the other hole & theinflatable raft. Interestingly, there is a second hook too.The hookon the bottom right of above image is used to secure the inflatable slide asshown in the pic below.

Q10 What arethe drawbacks of joining armed forces? A10 SainyamAgrawalDefence AnalystNov 10 Just like any otherorganization Indian Armed forces also have some drawbacks but I personally feelthese draw backs are very subjective. You have to live away from your families for monthsat times but I think this gap has been reduced by video calls and phone callsfacility (meeting them physical is different no doubts) Cannot expect a stable life today you can live inKashmir and next month maybe in south of India or Rajasthan etc. But I thinkthat is the fun part of job if you look it in positive way.At times you cannot have aparticular routine for yourself. Not only in field area but also inPeace Areas. You might have to wake you very early or prepare for somethingwhole night. But I think one should be prepared for this mentally this is thejob required it is not just in army but is also there in Airline industry,hotel industry etc. You can get scolded by your senior at any time ifyou do something wrong but I think it is okay to get scolded of course one willfeel bad for a while You need to study a lot and it is important for aofficer to do lot of courses and I think many peoplejoin it in a illusion that in army you don’t study We all need to understand that nothing is perfect butwhat is closest to it. If one is really passionateabout the forces these drawbacks are nothing for him/her and if you are not itis enough to demotivate you All the above QA are from Quora website on 16-11- 2021.
