Department of Telecom (1966–2004)Just now

During college daysI have studied in 1964, if we suspect electric leakage touch 
the areawith slightly folded palm and touch with nails portion only. If 
voltageis present the palm will be repelled and we may fall down than getting 
severe shock.I do not know any new methods are.

technician who felt nothing when touching 230 V bare ware.

Q3         If a train ticket is confirmed but thepassenger doesn't board, what 
happens?

A3         Ankit Barnawal, Former Student at DoonBusiness School, Dehradun 
(2017–2022)17h

Nothing willhappen.

After the traindeparts from passenger boarding station, the TTE will come to 
check whether thepassenger has come or not. If he will not find the passenger, 
he will wait forupcoming stop. If then also the passenger don't comes then the 
TTE will allotthe seat to the one's having ticket in RAC or Waiting List.

You will not get any refund in this case and this simplyresults in wastage of 
your money.

After you eat,it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your 
stomach andsmall intestine. Food then enters your large intestine(colon) for 
further digestion, absorption of water and, finally, elimination ofundigested

to otherhealth problems.

Q7         Why do daughters-in-law of thisgeneration not want to live with 
their in-laws anymore?

A7         Kanthaswamy Balasubramaniam, Lawyer Wed

I am sure they will

→ If the House isbig enough - say an Independent House with 4 Bedrooms

→ If Servants existto take care of Chores like Cooking and Cleaning

→ If In lawshave their own Financial Means and don’t depend on the Son for 
anything

→ If In laws don’tinterfere in the Daughter in Laws life

The Problem is theHectic Schedule of Young Women today

Imagine working 9hours a day- in a stressful job and coming home tired and 
hungry and returningback to a 900 Square Feet House with In Laws watching TV in 
the living room. To come home, cook for the inlaws instead of ordering take out 
or cooking a maggi and finishing it off.

Its called theBaghban Paradox

Both the Biological Bahus were decent women who simplyfelt irritated living in 
cramped quarters with in laws and having their dailylives disrupted

While MahimaChowdhary was Loaded, Filthy rich, had a Huge Bungalow with 
servants and couldeasily allocate a room to the in laws and have cooks and 
servants manage thehouse and the in laws without a seconds effort. Obviously 
she can afford to doall the Poojas and hail them in the Tum Hi Ho Mata mode.

#1 Money makes a big difference

If the moneyposition is comfortable - most families with parents work 
wonderfully. If theparents have a stream of comfortable income and the son has 
a stream ofcomfortable income - there is bound to be little friction.Sadly this 
is rarely the case in most joint families.

#2 Size of the House and Servants make a big difference

A Big House withMany Bedrooms and Servants will make up for a lot of the 
irritation on part of theDaughter in law. Cominghome and having the servant 
bring you a Juice, having a hot shower and havingfood served by the cook - 
makes a big difference.

#3 Interference in Kids Schedules

This is a BigFactor. A Mother brings up her kids. The Mother in law is 
aSpectator. That should be the relation. Mothers in law should never advise 
theMother unless asked for. Sadly many mothers in law interfere

#4 For a Mother the Son is still 10 years old

Mothers continue tobe mothers which irritate the wives.This is age old.

***Mothersshould know when to give up and pass the rein to the wife.This is why 
most ofthe trouble exists - not because of Feminism etc.

Mainly because ofStress, Pressure, Smaller Housing, Tighter finances and the 
need to plan farahead financially and interference

A Coaching Sessionfor Mothers in law would work wonderfully before marriage i 
guess

My note-Even father’s and father in laws. Whilemost are decent and just talk 
the matter, many consider their son is till 10years old. But talk the matter is 
a must and leaving to their own. Iknow a case where son fail to recollect big 
things and do all petty things. Reminder is must. 

Q8         What happens to an Indian RailwayCatering and Tourism Corporation 
(IRCTC) Tatkal ticket after the chartpreparation?

A8         Ankit Barnawal, Former Student at DoonBusiness School, Dehradun 
(2017–2022)18h

The IRCTC tatkaltickets which remains not booked after the chart preparation 
are made availablefor booking under the current availability quota.

With the arrival of current availability quota, this hasbeen reduced to some 
extent as passengers can now book tickets even after thechart has been prepared.

Until theintroduction of this feature, there was no way to book vacant seats 
after thechart has been prepared. This simple means loss of revenue for 
railways asvacant seats means zero monetary gains.

Booking closes before 30 minutes of train departure.   No extra charges.

So anyone who wouldwant to buy a tatkal ticket for a lack of one in General 
quota, he would simplewait for 3-4 hours for the departure time to find the 
same tatkal tickets underCurrent _avlb and book them for even lesser price than 
General quota tickets.

My note- But the railways do so only 2 hours beforetrain departing. I have 
doneso. I could not get AC chaircar ticket and booked by ordinary chair carfrom 
Chennai to Bangalore. It was summer. There was enough time after 
reachingstation and just tried at current reservation. Though queue was large I 
got it.Current reservation counters MUST BE MORE.
