Why such a question arising is not known. In India while you purchase a new 
washing machine,the company send technician for installing and testing. Mostly 
it isfree of charge in India. What one has to make ready in India are 1) 15 
ampspower socket with switch. 2) Good water flowing tap 3) Installation 
area,ground is made slightly rough. If smooth while spinning machine may 
vibrate andmostly move also.

If one has purchased a secondhand machine, there are many private technicians 
who would efficiently install the machine in India.

Q2            Iwant to start a food business at a low cost in Gurgaon. Which 
should I choose,South Indian or North Indian? I can cook.

A2            GopalkrishnaVishwanath An Indian vegetarian by habit, and 
upbringing22h

There are reasons why you might choose one over the other.

Gurgaon is in north India. People generally eat food or snacks likeparaanthas, 
puris, chole bhature, jalebis, chaat items and wash it down withlassi or tea. 
So you may reckon it is better to offer north Indian food to getmore customers.

But when people eat outside,they generally like to try something that is 
normally not prepared at home. So offering Idlis, vadas, dosas, uthappamupma 
and coffee might be a better idea.

I have found that south Indianslike to eat North Indian food outside the house 
and north Indians like to eatSouth Indian food outside their houses.

If I were you, I would offer both at least initially. See how thebusiness 
performs. See for which food there is more demand, which is less timeconsuming, 
which requires less effort to prepare, and which is more profitable.Then slowly 
shift your emphasis to the one that is more profitable for you.

Tip: Keep it vegetarian. Non-vegetariancustomers don’t mind eating in 
vegetarian joints. If they feel like eating nonveg food they will goelsewhere. 
Many vegetarians will avoid your place if you serve non-vegetarianitems. So 
keeping it a vegetarian restaurant will bring you more customers.

I wish you luck in your venture.

the point of Swiggyand Zomato. Food Shops or restaurants earn a great value of 
theirrevenue through these apps.”

Q3            Howdo large heavy animals without hooves cope with treading on 
sharp stones andthorns?

A3            Claire Jordan Degreein biology and folklore; programmer, shop 
owner, secretary on newspaper Tue

Either very thick, hard skin onthe soles of the feet, or a really thick layer 
of fur, or, like camels, they live somewhere where the surface is usually 
fairlysoft and smooth.Also,*really* big animals such as elephants tend to move 
fairly slowly,so unless they’re actively charging they have time to feel what 
they aretreading on and take their weight off it if it’s sharp or wobbly.

Q4            Whydo students go to study in countries like Ukraine for MBBS? In 
what part of thecountry is doing MBBS the cheapest?

A4            KanthaswamyBalasubramaniam Lawyer Wed

One of the Main Reasons is - MBBS in India is highlyCompetitive

Unlike Engineering today which any Donkey can find a course in some fifthrate 
college across the Country - MBBS still has some standards and the Course is a 
tough one andadmission to the course vide NEET is still pretty tough.

So what do you do when you want to study to become a Doctor but find thatyou 
could not score enough marks to clear NEET for various reasons????You tryto 
find a Paid or Management Seat?

Price of sucha Seat could range from Rs. 90 Lakhs to Rs. 6 Crore depending on 
College plus a fee ranging from Rs. 50 Lakhs minimum to Rs. 1.5 Crore over a 
5year period.

In Ukraine on the other hand -costs you a mere Rs. 38 Lakhs for a 5 Year Course 
including Boarding andAccomodation.

So in Ukraine you can be a Doctor, same in Tbilisi

Now i am not sure about the Course standards and whether the Course is onpar 
with MBBS Course in India (Some Students say Ukranian Courses are tougher)but 
Admission is easier to Medical Courses than in India.

One Reasonfor this is also - Reservation

Almost 99% Students are from the General Category and based on what thestudents 
said yesterday after landing in Delhi from Warsaw or Bucharest - theyall said 
If we didnt have reservations - We would never have gone to Ukrainefor Medical 
Studies

Students who secured 97% Marksdidnt get Govt Colleges because their cut off was 
97.5% while the Reserved Categories got admission despite scoringlower marks

Q6            WHYshouldn't we throw away batteries?

A6            Gopala Krishnan,former Assistant General Manager 1996-2004 at 
Department of Telecom(1966-2004)Answered just now

Most companies or their sales people take back old batteries and give a 
discountin the new battery. Oldbattery is taken back for the lead in the 
batteries which isextracted and reused for new batteries. There is good profit 
for the company onaccount of this in procuring new lead for batteries.

Q7            Whywere people in the 1700s less likely to survive a cold (virus) 
than in today'sworld?

A7            Mats Andersson Commonor Garden Armchair Historian Thu

Two reasons:

Malnutrition. This lowers yourdefenses overall, so thatsomething small is more 
likely to tip you over the edge.    

Pneumonia. It’s a rarecomplication that is easilytreated with penicillin today, 
but which was often fatal up until WWII.

Although I’m not 100% certain the premise is actually correct. Today,many 
people become old enough to become so frail that even a cold might killthem. 
Since we have eradicated many things that would make people die younger,like 
smallpox, it is much more likely that we live to that age today. I haven’tdone 
the numbers, though.

Q8            Whatdid people use before insulin was invented?

A8            Claire Jordan Degree in biology and folklore; programmer,shop 
owner, secretary on newspaper 3h

Presumably you mean artificial insulin supplements for diabetics. Type I 
diabetics and those with damaged pancreases could extend theirlife for some 
months with a controlled diet, but eventually they fell into acoma and then 
died not long after, usually very young. 

Type 2s must have rattledalong, drinkling gallons of water and peeing a lot, 
until the increased risk of heart disease and stroke got them.

Q10         DoesRBI pay huge money like 50 lakhs if it's employees dependent 
parents need livertransplant or immunotherapy for diseases like cancer?

A10          KanthaswamyBalasubramaniam Lawyer Feb 23

When i was working in the Bank - I remember a Scale II Officer gettingpaid Rs. 
33.5 Lakh Rupees for Cancer Treatment from 2015 to 2016 for a period of 14 
months.

He was working in the Bank and the Bank paid him nearly 34 Lakh Rupees 
inVarious Bills. My Guess is Since RBI and PSU Banks arevery similar - RBI 
should also have the same benefits and should be able tooffer Unlimited Medical 
Expenses for Staff and 75% for Family Dependents of staff.

Q11         Ifthe ancient Egyptians were so good at documenting, why didn't 
they document theway they built the pyramids?

A11          Matt Riggs by MAArchaeology, Boston University Tue

“If the ancient Egyptians were so good at documenting”

Flag on the counterfactual.They weren’t. Not likethat, anyway. In most ancient 
societies, literacy was a rather specializedskill, used for particular purposes 
by particular segments of society. It wasused mostly in fields where people 
worked intensively with words and numbers:priests (gotta get those prayers 
exactly right), merchants, bureaucrats, poets,and the like used writing. But 
engineering and masonry were largely practicalcrafts, learned by doing rather 
than by classroom teaching or other kinds ofabstract, “book” learning. Masons, 
like carpenters, potters, and so on didn’twrite a lot of stuff down. This means 
that documents on practical craftsstarted out relatively uncommon, and since 
few people found a reason topreserve such works, what there was tended to fade 
away over time. And suchdocuments as we do have tend to be about accounting for 
resources required forconstruction rather than the technical details of the 
work itself.

Q12         Howdo Brits do laundry?

A12          Claire Jordan Degree inbiology and folklore; programmer, shop 
owner, secretary on newspaper Thu

Almost every household in theUK has a front-loading washing machine (the few 
who don’t go to a commercial launderette shop). Only a smallproportion have 
dryers though. So you wash your clothes, then you hang them up on rails (or, 
insummer, on a washing-line in the garden) to dry.

I suspect electric dryers willbecome more common in future. In the past, almost 
everyone with hot water (and even 70 years ago thatwas all but the poorest 
households) had an immersion heater to heat the water,and then above that was 
an “airing cupboard” - a recess containing slattedshelves on which you laid out 
your washing to be dried by the hot air risingabove the heater. Over thelast 20 
years immersion heaters have been almost completely replaced by combiboilers, 
so airing cupboards are now rare, which makes dryingclothes indoors much more 
difficult.
