Pranam Q3 Culture shock?. I thought he was going to reveal something out of the ordinary. But not seeing coconut water shops?. India has throughout the CULTURE SHOCK . Father and son drinking liquor together also with house ladies; vegetarians by birth including Brahmins iyers and iyengars eating non vegetarian sitting "you know in calcutta they take fish"?. ; girls hugging and kissing the classmates talking all stuffs unwritable and later marrying some high fiber and living teaching culture to others; ladies young working in any bank as aclerks , behaving as if the opposites are under their mercy; so many I can write. Q4 What is that jargon ANTIOXIDANT?. Is there any food -any food- any food like that?. any drinks like that?; toxicity is body concerned; how the food will give that; it is the same horlicks sold for kids , women , men and sports etc./ Marketing strategy. Q5 WHO had reported in India 80% of the water tanks are never cleaned at all; and the lorries bringing water is used for so many other contents and in majority remain uncleaned. Masters who prepare food in hotels are so rustic we still eat all of them; and our body is brave if combating the toxicity. Q6 Why are we begging for special treatment ? let there be equity of law to all. Q7 Lemon is superman to all except the acidic people. Q8 Because of RATE underrating arises if stat is taken in the large section. But if you can buy an apple at 10 PM, well, you will know it is not underrated. Q9 Any object needs repairs if ill maintained; I have voltas 165-20 years old without being touched by any one so far. I have a few articles and clothes like that. Q100 It is an erroneous question misunderstood by Einstein or misread by a few. Light is in a straight line only. If you block it the travel changes . Perception is the theory.
