CULTURAL QA 09-2022-13 BEING ACOMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS
Q1 Why is Chennai worse when compared toHyderabad or Bangalore? A1 Venkatesh Kulkarni,Former Product atMultinational Corporations Sat First thing first… don't call any city as worse. Even if its worst people in crores livethere , that wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't a good city. However it's a bitresistant to culture change and language etc. Tamilians have been protecting the city from externalinfluence and safeguarding the language from outsiders entering the city.Reason being they are proud of their language than people of other cities. The culture is strong in Tamil Nadu and things getcustomised to the population instead of vice versa. So no one can tellthem to learn their language and instead learn to respect Tamil. Pub culturehas come from West to India, although there are lot of pubs people don'tdisrespect coffee or idli over the western culture and food. Weather and humidity are a bit extreme, so outsides don'tfind it easily adaptable. My note- When I was to purchase a land iin Chennai, I asked leave for a few days to my GM. My GMhome close to my native first asked why you desire to go to Chennai,having water difficulties leaving your home town in Kerala. I told the reasonthat my wife is born in Tamilnadu and co brothers are there, though hepermitted leave asked me tore- think again before a purchase. For outside peopleChennai is having extreme heat and always having water scarcity. Though aftersettling here I could adjust to climate, always water scarcity is a problem in Chennai and suburbanareas. Q2 Which one should I choose as per yourroom size, a wall fan or a ceiling fan? A2 Gopala Krishnan, Former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966–2004)Just now Normally wall fanis provided when there is no provision of hook for mounting a ceiling fan or ceiling fan isnot safe. I am from India, writing this answer. We have prayer room. Prayerroom is provided with two roofing, one at about seven feet and another at 11feet, regular roofing over ground floor and stairs to first floor. The conceptis one should not walk overthe pooja room directly. So wall fan is provided. In the corridor aloft was provided. Though provision for ceiling fan was made, it is risky totake any thing from loft when ceiling fan was running. So wall fan is provided. In my son’s flatthere was no hook provision in the study room and so two wall fans wereprovided. But still it was not sufficient, split AC wiring was done afresh andair-conditioner provided. Q3 I want to purchase a flat in my wife'sname, my wife and I have a joint bank account. My wife is a housewife. Can Ipurchase the flat in her name? A3 Mani Shankar, As a counselor,experienced in counselling parents/couples on emotional issues. Fri Yes. You can purchase the flat in your wife’s name, but youmust keep in mind the following points: If you are going topay towards purchase of house from your savings and in case you intend to letout the flat, the rental income will be clubbed in your taxable income as youhave used your funds. If you are planningto take a bank loan, you cannot claim income tax rebate towards housing loaninterest as the property will be in your wife’s name. Bank will give loanonly to the person whose name appears in the sale deed. So, whenyou buy the flat in wife’s name, they will ask you to become a joint owner sothat recovery of EMI becomes secured for bank. These are just myguesses. You will have to check with Bank and a qualified tax consultant forthe implications before buying the house. My note- Leaving all such things, always it is safe topurchase a property in joint name with wife/husband. This ensureswife/husband as legal heir after the unfortunate death of the other.

My note- This QA is also for information sake Q6 Why do some people lift their housesnowadays? A6 Akshay Garg, Principal Partner -Architect at AMDD Designs (2014–present)Sun Hi Sandeep! Thanksfor your question. We all know that constructing a new house right fromexcavation, foundation till its finishing and completion is very tedious andtime consuming process. It not only involves time but also a lot of money andefforts to get a dream house. Today most of the houses built are not very old and thequality of construction is fairly good. But due to frequent laying of topcarpeting on adjacent roads near the house (due to pot holes development duringrains - thanks to bad quality of road construction) the plinth level keeps onreducing with respect to adjacent road level. Thus the simplesolution is to lift the plinth of the house (thanks to new jack-up technologyand available technical know-how) without harming the structure.This way one can avoidheavy civil works since only digging of foundation is involved and thenreinstating the same). Also the cost involved is 1/3rd of the total newconstruction cost. But yes to do this exercise you willneed the involvement of a qualified Architect, Structure Engineer who wereinvolved in the house earlier or you need to have complete set ofconstruction drawing for new Architect and Structure Engineer to study thedrawings along with the House lifting Contractor. Trust this explains Q7 I was charging my phone at around 9 PMon a train. A railway police came and told me to unplug my phone as it is notallowed at this time. Is there any truth to this?

Professor atVelammal Engineering College '10 (2010–2015)Updated May 13 I am using bothsuper fan and atomberg Both are energy efficient.Once one atomberg fan had an issue within warranty period but got replaced.Their service is good Edit at Y 2022 I got BLDC exhaust fan 150 mm size from atomberg for 2000rs, which is 11 watts, very quite very good throw,Usingit to cool the room in summer, keeping reverse direction 2ND ANSWER Nikul Kachhadiya,2 yearsFeb 22 Atomberg ceilingfan is very energy efficient. I personally loved the ceiling fan from atomberg 3RD ANSWER-Bashishtha Singh,Former GeneralManager at Worley (2020–2020)1y They arepractically of similar performance to normal quality fans. Except they have remote control operation with 5 speed selection, sleepmode and the low power consumption of 28 to 32 watts only (due to BLDCtype motor). [Normal fans have wattage of 50 to 65]. There is only a simple on/off switch required inwiring. There is small LED indicator in the fan (when switched off from remoteindicating power on). When the fan starts, it first takes very small backwardmovement and then starts forward rotation.I am using two fans since 2years, no complain. Q9 Why do dogs eat grass? A9 Lucia Garcia, Worked at Hospitals Sun Dogs areomnivores, they will eat not only meat but vegetables as well. Many times, healthydogs also like to eat grass. Compared with humans and other animals, dogs have shorterguts, only about 3 times their body length, whileanimals such as cows, sheep and horses have guts that are 10 times their bodylength. The length of the gut is an important factor affectingthe absorption of nutrients. Therefore, the absorptionrate of nutrients in dogs is relatively low, and there is often some undigestedfood in their feces. Grass is an excellent source of fiber. Some animalexperts believe that Eating Grass is a Form of Self-medication for Dogs. After fiber enters the dog's gut, it can speed up theperistalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and improvethe digestibility and absorption rate of food. Studies haveshown that after three days of feeding dogs a high-fiber diet, dogs stop eatinggrass completely. Q10 Not to dismiss evolution, but why,after a couple of million years, is it so hard to give birth, while chimps findit easier? Did we evolve? A10 Claire Jordan, Degree in biology andfolklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Sep 5 Yes, our difficult births are a result of evolution.Human evolution is an uneasy compromise between wanting our brains to be as bigas possible, wanting babies to be mature enough at birth to be able to surviveand wanting women to still be able to run fast, or at least walk efficiently. Big brains mean babies with big skulls,which means the woman needs a wide pelvic opening, but if her pelvis is *too*wide she won’t be able to run. We compromised a bit by having babies who are born a little earlier in developmentthan chimp babies, and have slightly compressible skulls, but there’s a limitto how far we can take that, so childbirth is still risky. If we hadn’t invented Caesarean sections, in another500,000 years or so we would probably have been having babies with longer,narrower skulls, in order to contain that big brainin a more aerodynamic shape. But like most species, humans are still very mucha work in progress. Q11 How overheating of ceiling fanmotor can be reduced? A11 Aksha Kowsi, Content Stratergist3y Fans get heatedbecause of the AC induction motor they use. Continuousoperation of fans will heat the coils and thus the fan gets heated up. This problem is notin BLDC fans. BLDcmotors do not get heated up. 2ND ANSWER- How overheating of ceiling fan motor can be reduced? Frank LeeBored,Educated5y Take it down andclean all the screens and holes with compressed air. Put it back up and wireit. Does the fan startand run at each speed? Stop the blades, set the speed to low, and turn on. Doesit run? Do this for each speed. If any of the speeds do not start and spin, then acapacitor is bad. This might be why the motor is getting hot. Fans have 1, 2, 3caps, or a single plastic box with 2 or 3 caps inside it. Look for the mFnumber(s). If you have 3 mf numbers on one cap, this is a triple cap on a 3speed fan. Fan mfg each have a unique way of wiring in their fanspeed switch and their fan capacitor. You must buy thecorrect part or parts. There are more than a dozen variants of the fan speedcontrol pull switch. All the above QA are from Quora website on 12-09- 2022. Quora answers need not be 100% correct answers .
