Q1 How do you look after your air conditioner from time totime? Gopala Krishnan, former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Departmentof Telecom (1966-2004)Answered 2:28 pm Company free service is there forone year. After that we can take periodic maintenance with company, paying forvisits and parts. I was doing so till two years back. In front of my home an ACrepair and service opened at that time, and I changed to them for instantservice. They do very quality work, with some reduction of amount since infront of my home. In my view if expert service centre is there, it is best for old AC units. Fromsomewhere they get spares, and make the unit best serviced.

I honestly don't understand why I can't get a nice 11am flight. A4 JohnMcGowan Former Pilot - DC9/8, L1011, A330/340, B727/767/777 at Airlines(1972–2018)Mon There are some very good answers inthis thread already, but thereis one consideration that was overlooked. In the Middle East, long-rangeoperations were planned to depart late at night and early morning. The reason was aircraft performance.Often we were operating at restricted weights due to outside temperature.The higher the temperature, the less the aircraft can lift (the air isthinner). By operating at night and early morning, the temperaturesare much cooler permitting the aircraft to depart with more payload (passengersand cargo). Forlong flights carrying large fuel loads, this is especially important. Thisis one consideration for the necessity of getting you out of bed at such anunreasonable hour. Q5 Should I join MBBS in government college or computerscience engineering in a tier 3 government college in India? A5 Niranjan General Practitioner Tue Obviously you should join MBBS in a governmentmedical college if you are getting one, even if it is a newly opened college. See, many years back when I passedout of school, my cutoff marks was higher for engineering than medicine. Still I chose medicine becausethat's what I wanted to pursue. Some of my friends who got the sameengineering cutoff marks as mine joined MIT chromepet/SSN. The life of a medical student andengineering student is poles apart. You should never ever compare. By the time a medical student is infinal year his/her engineering peer would be placed in a good job and wouldsoon start earning. After internship when a young mbbsdoctor takes a drop year to prepare for PG entrance examinations and whenfinally clears it, his/her engineering peers would have finished an MBA andwould be earning a double/triple/quadruple/quintuple/ sometimes even sextupletimes your stipend. There is a “common” NEET PGentrance examination in our country but not a common stipend. My statetamilnadu gives 48k/49k/50k Rs per month as stipend whereas gujarat gives84k/85k/87k Rs per month for the postgraduates pursuing MS/MD's. It would take around 27 to 35 yearsof age(depending upon the speciality one pursues) to settle down if you joinmedicine but it will be worth it only if you have some passion inside you. Now, just look at this desk, Whichside of the desk you would opt to sit? Decide wisely. Q6 What is thehighest salary of SBI PO in USA?

For example, favorite food,favorite flowers, etc. A7 Padmini Aspiring devotee Nov 13 Tulasi Krishna loves Tulasi leaves. That'swhy they are called as Krishna jeevani — life of Krishna. It is so dear toKrishna that he said he comes to stay along with radha, wherever there is agarden of Tulasi And there are two types of Tulasi:Krishna Tulasi, Rama Tulasi. Both of these Tulasi are used in the worship ofKrishna. Lotus Lotus flowers are considered sacredin Sanatan Dharm. Its purity, beauty and divinity are such that all Devas willbe instantly pleased by offering lotus flowers to them. Krishna also likeslotus as it is the birth place of Maa lakshmi in which she always resides. Heeven wears garland of lotus along with Vyjayanthi mala. So lotus offeringsdefinitely delight Krishna. Shankh ( conch shell) If available keep a Shankh nearKrishna's idol as it is dear to Vishnu and all his avataras. Brahmavivarta purana says Shankha is the residence of both Lakshmi and Vishnu. BathingKrishna with waters led by Shankh is auspicious and virtuous. Some even do pooja to Shankh beforedoing pooja of Krishna. favourites of Radha Radha is epitome of Krishna prema .She is his pleasure potency and soul of Krishna —krishna praanadhika. Henceanything that is favourite to Radha becomes favourite of Krishna too. Radhalikes flowers of kadamba trees. So they made it on to the list of Krishna'sfavourites. Butter Krishna's fondness for butter isnot any unknown fact to his devotees. Generally it is offered as Nivedanato Krishna on janmashtami. But one can include it in daily offerings too. Besides butter krishna likes alldairy products and sweets made with cow's milk. Peacock feather Decoration of Krishna is incompletewithout a peacock feather. He loves adorning his idol with it. So if availableoffer him a peacock feather. And anything which is offered with love and devotion to Krishna pleaseshim. But as you asked his favourite things keeping love and devotion aside Ilisted these. These are Krishna's favourites asfar as I know.

Q10 Do doctors of any specialty stillcarry a doctor's bag? If so, which kind of doctor would have such a bag? A10 RobertFrantzB.S., M.D. in Zoology (college major) & Medicine and Healthcare, TheUniversity of Oklahoma (Graduated 1996)Nov 18 Ialways thought these bags looked cool. I could just imagine being a doctorand walking into a house at the turn of the last century carrying one of these.They just aren’t practical anymore with the evolution of medicine. MostER doctors I know carry a bag into the hospital every day. It’susually a back pack or brief case however. Some have reference books, a fewspecial tools (like a ring cutter or swizzle stick for airways). Usually itcontains some snacks and caffeine. That is not a real doctor’s bag though. Thelast specialist in the USA to carry one of these in my experience is theneurologist. In my opinion, neurologists are the absolute best physicaldiagnosticians in modern medicine. They will typically have tuning forks andreflex hammers and all manner of diagnostic aids in their bags. And, they usethem. Every time I consulted one of these medical geniuses and they showed upwith this bag of tricks I always took time to watch them work. All the above QA are from Quora website on 26-11- 2021.
