A2 Arun Visvanathan Lives in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India May1 There must be some law tothis. On the odd occasions that I have been one of the first at the belt my bagarrives last. If I arrive late, I wait and wait. With no sign of my bag, I takea walk around the conveyor and find that right at the end where it goes out ofthe building, luggage handlers are removing bags and stacking them Presumablythis is to avoid congestion but what it does is to leave someone waiting forhis bag when it has already made a couple of rounds and has been removed. My weirdest experience incollecting baggage was nearly fifty years ago when Mumbai was still Bombay andKolkata was Calcutta. No electronic display boards in those days. Just a standwith a card having your flight no and origin. I had flown to Delhi on IndianAirlines. I reached the baggage hall and waited by the belt with the sign IAxxx Bombay. The adjacent belt had a sign reading IA yyy Calcutta. Thepassengers arrived and waited patiently near their belt. Before the baggagearrived an airline employee switched the two signs. So the crowd surroundingBelt A rushed to Belt B and vice versa. A little later another bloke came alongand switched the signs back. The mad rush from A to B and B to A recommenced.Justas the first bags appeared on the two belts, a third employee came and tookboth signs away. You can imagine what happened next.

Periodic cleaning of cabinetwould make kitchen items at least 90% dust free Q5 How do you keep life fun as you getolder? A5 Ratnamala Kamath M'comfrom Karnatak University, Dharwad (Graduated 1988)May 1 Travel to New places. Meet up and talk with friends. Try to keep up with technology by learning new things. Develop and nurture a hobby. Try out new recipes. Get up, dress up and go out even if it only to buy groceries orvegetables. You can do crossword puzzles, sudoku and now we have puzzles like wordl,quordle etc on the internet everyday which are fun to solve and which I trynever to miss solving. I and my husband also watch some light hearted serials on mobile and TV. Of course the body has certainlimitations as we age, but we can try to keep the mind active and happy. My husband has discovered his interest and talent for singing, thanks toour son and whenever he gets the time he puts on the karaoke background andsings and records his songs. He shares it with relatives and siblings who neverfail to appreciate his singing. He is good but not perfect but that doesn'tmatter because he sings to de-stress and for his own happiness. I read and write on quora tode-stress and for my happiness. I too am not perfect. But again that does not matter because I do it for my happiness andalso I have connected with so many nice people on quora. I sometimes do fabric painting,but my hands and fingersare not steady and many a time I discard what I have done. But when I'm doingit I feel happy and that is all that matters ultimately as you age. So do what makes you happy. Youdon't have to be perfect or very good at it. As we age, we don't or can't have perfect control over our limbs, voiceetc, so do things that will lighten and lift up your spirit and not forperfection.I being an introvert, could only think of the above fun things to doas we grow older. Q6 Can LG Air conditioner doair-purification too? A6 LG India Lives inIndia Updated Apr 11 Anti-Allergy Filter in LG Air Conditioner is designed to capture dustparticles over 10μm in size while removing allergens in the air, such as dustmites to provide a cleaner, fresher and healthier environment. Create a safetyshield around with LG Smart AC. My note- Recently I felt nocooling in my AC and doubtedthere may be a reduction of gas in the compressor. A private technicianinspected, he said it is due to dust on indoor unit, did water service in frontof me. I could see himremoving dust from carborator type front area by water spraying with force. Now even at 28 degree C setting, it gives goodcooling. Q7 Is it better to use your car’s ACwhile driving? A7 Chris Ebbert I haveowned and driven over a hundred cars. Apr 27 Modern car ACs are surprisinglyeasy on the fuel consumption, so it can be done without being penalizedheavily. As to why one would do so, my reasons are these:The air is cleaner tobreathe; what passes through an AC tends to undergo quite a bit of filtration,and as long as there are still diesels out there, and gravel, and dust, AC airis a much cleaner thing for your body. The humidity in the car goesway down, which suppresses smells and mold, makes you physically morecomfortable, and keeps your windows clear on the inside. Running the system every once in a while is actually good practice,because it might begin to fail otherwise. Belts, etc. want to be used. Maintaining a civilizedtemperature inside the car is actually a safety factor, as oppressive heat can reduce your reaction time as much as being drunkmight do. Q8 Will the proposed new one hourflight from Bengaluru to Mysore at Rs 1589/- be successful? A8 Rukmini Hindupur Livesin Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (1986–present)Apr 29 It won’t. At least for peoplelike us who live in South Bangalore. For us, Mysore is around 150km. The airport is 50km away in theopposite direction. That explains everything. >From door to door, we can reach Mysore in a matter of two and a halfhours by >car travel. Whereas for us to reach the airport, it never takes less than one and ahalf hour. Plus the time taken for all the security protocols before theflight. Whenever we travel to Mysore, we always stop at our favourite restaurantsthat are spotted every half a kilometre throughout. Road conditions areexcellent. Once we cross the city, it is a joy ride. I will not trade that joy fora flight anyway. Cost looks ok.Not much higher than a car travel. Not including the 4 cab rides!! That itselfwould be on the upper side of 3thousand rupees! But finally what I am not able to figure out is, why should it take one hour tofly from Bangalore to Mysore? Q9 What's something that sucks aboutbeing a woman? A9 Kook Kannan / கூக் கண்ணன் M.B.B.S from Stanley Medical College (Expected 2025)May 3 A classmate of mine is having surgery postings. She got to see aninteresting case a few days back which she shared with us. A seventy year old woman camewith complaints of pain in her abdomen and was admitted. My friend had already read her case history and itsaid she had been diagnosed with splenomegaly. My friend examined her and waschecking for tenderness. Thewoman was complaining of pain on the right side. But spleen is on the left side. They couldn't understand why she was havingtenderness on the opposite side. But they noticed some more bruises on her bodyand soon figured out someonehad physically assaulted her. That was probably why she came to hospital in thefirst place and they had discovered splenomagaly only by chance. And thefact she was unwilling to disclose the very assault means the perpetrator isprobably her own husband or son. And this wasn't the first case of abuse my classmate had witnessed. Within two days, she haswitnessed three such cases. One even came with a cut on her nose. But none ofthem opened their mouth. They didn't complain about the men in theirhouse and no men accompanied them to the hospital either. It was just anotherTuesday for them. What's something that sucksabout being a woman? Having to take beatings from the men in your family and then shut up because you don't earnenough to run your family on your own. P.S: Instead of commenting ‘Men too face abuse’ under this answer, betterwrite your own answer on men's abuse. It would be more useful. Q10 What can be done if a human was exposedto rabies a year ago and had symptoms with no vaccines? A10 Donna Fernstrom Livesin Virginia Updated Apr 27 Once the person has symptoms,they’re dead within a week or so. The exceptions can be counted on one hand, and involve a medicallyinduced coma with rigorous treatment with anticonvulsants and other drugs, anda whole lot of luck.
