Q2 Why are Andhra mess very famous inBangalore, and why not Tamil Nadu mess? A2 Namma Karnataka,Answered by Mrs LiliBasu Biswas Sun Andhra Foods or Kerala foods etc are being invested byfood business industry. There are many differencesbetween tastes of Andra foods or Kerala foods and South karnataka foods. Thoughmany similarities are there also. But there is enough differences to use it forbusiness promotions. So food business owners are using this opportunity. Food culture of South Karnataka and Tamilnanu is verysimilar. Those Foods which is being liked by Kannadapeople is also liked by Tamil people. So there is no scope to differentiate forbusiness branding is too difficult. Some food business has tried for it but didnot take off. We are living inBangalore for last 7–8 years. And also travel to Salem, Chennai etc inTamilnanu. We have realised that good culture is very similar in both place.Though slight differences are there but that is not enough to promote it as adifferent business. Like we have foundthat the Sambar food taste is little different in Karnataka and Tamilnanu. Butingredients are 80% similar. I have found Dosa food is liitle spicy inTamilnanu than Karnataka Q3 It feels like 80% of the IT industry isfilled with Telugu and Tamil people. Why is it so? A3 Achal Gautam, A seasoned ITprofessional Oct 9 There areno stats that say that 80% of the IT industry isfilled with Telugu and Tamil people. And this is not the fact and thisperception is false. The biggest IndianIT centers are - Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, NCR (Gurgaon, Noida),Mumbai, etc. Other centers are Kolkata, Nagpur, Jaipur, Mysore, Trivandrum,etc. So out of thebiggest 5 centers, two are in this (Tamil & Telgu) belt - Chennai andHyderabad. The largest IT city in India - Bangalore lies in theKannada-speaking state even though Bangalore has a good number of native Tamiland Telugu speakers. But there may be fewer native Tamil and Telugu speakers inother hubs like Gurgaon, Pune, Navi Mumbai, etc. So, theassumption that 80% of Indian IT professionals are Tamil & Telegu speakersis wrong. Yes, there areenough IT professionals whose mother tongue is Tamil & Telugu. The reasonsare that these states have the highest concentration of Engineering collegesand IT jobs. These three states have good education levels and the penetrationof English is also good. EvenBangalore is not far from Tamil Nadu and Andhra/Telangana. I havemany friends who come from Tamil & Telugu belts. These guys are very brightas any Indian. Lets us not create divisions in our industry on basis of region,language, etc. We are one Indian IT industry. Q4 Can you put wet clothes in the dryermore than once?

Q5 Why is Indian Railways providing manyVande Bharat and Tejas rakes to Mumbai and Delhi while Howrah is yet to getone? A5 Dinesh Binjola, Lives in Delhi NCR Fri The first Vande Bharat Express presently runs between NewDelhi and Varanasi. The Indian Railways has plans to extend the same up toKolkata but the tracks are not yet ready for this purpose.Also, if we believe the news then it may be seen that Kolkata Ranchi VandeBharat Express may start running in the near future. Besides, there areplans to phase out all the existing Rajdhani, Shatabdi and such high classtrains and to replace them with Vandce Bharat trains.Very soon, India may be having hundreds of Vande Bharat trains. My note- How much waste of money while phasingout Rajadhani/Satabdi express coaches? Most coaches are in fine condition. Arethey going to be used in express/superfast trains???

Footnotes[1]OnlineFellowship in Clinical Cardiology - Level II – Medvarsity Q7 Do Britishers know the differencebetween North Indians and South Indians? Do they know that South Indians arenot like North Indians? A7 Aravind Varier, Teacher(2011–present)Sep 24 There are two queries in this question and Iwill answer it separately Query 1 : DoBritishers know the difference between North Indians and South Indians? Reply 1 : YES, Britishers knew the difference betweenNorth Indians and South Indians. Query 2 : Do theyknow that South Indians are not like North Indians? Reply 2 : YES, Britishers knew North Indians spokelanguages that belong to the “Indo—Aryan” languagefamily and South Indians spokelanguages that belong to the “Dravidian” language family. This is the exactreason Britishers printed major Dravidian languages along with major Indo Aryanlanguages on the currency notes with the same font size that they releasedduring their time for the convenience of people living in South Asia. Currency note released by the Government of India duringthe British era gave equal importance to major languages spoken in South Asiaduring that time. Reference Picture 1: A ₹10 currency note released by Government of India in 1910, Image Courtesy,Banknote Index [1] In Reference Picture 1, we can observe all the major Indianlanguages including Tamil, Telugu and Kannada are clearly visible on the frontside of the currency note.(Picture not added here) However, afterindependence, all the major Indian languages except Hindi have been relegatedto a small corner on the back side of the rupee note which can be only seenafter careful observation. Reference Picture 2: Front side of a ₹ 2000 currency notereleased by Reserve Bank of India in 2016, Image Courtesy , Reserve Bank ofIndia Reference Picture 3: Back side of a ₹ 2000 currency notereleased by Reserve Bank of India in 2016, Image Courtesy, Reserve Bank ofIndia. Part 16 inReference Picture 3 shows the position where Indian languages are printed on acurrency note. When we compare theIndian currency notes released before independence and after independence, wecan understand that Britishersprinted all the major Indian languages including Tamil, Telugu and Kannada onthe front side of the currency note with same font size. However, afterIndependence, all the Indian languages except Hindi was printed in a smallerfont size and that too on the back side of the currency note. Footnotes[1]BanknoteIndex Q8 Is it possible to fly around the worldwithout stopping as a passenger of an airplane (without any stops)? A8 Andrew McGregor, PerformanceMeasurement Lead at Fastly (company) (2019–present)Sep 11 No, it isn’t. Fortwo reasons. One, an airplanethat could do that as a commercial flight doesn’t exist. Two, a flight aroundthe world with no stops has no commercial value, so no airline will do it. The minimum stops possible is currently three, forexample SYD-SIN-LHR-YVR-SYD. You also need to use at least two airlines. When Qantas startstheir “Project Sunrise” routes, you’ll be able to do it with two stops,SYD-LHR-JFK-SYD (or maybe another New York airport). Somewhat technically, this counts as two… but I don’tthink it fits the spirit of the question, as it never crosses the equator, oreven gets close to it: Q9 Why is it that in India, only the righthand is used to eat with the hand? What is the problem with the left hand? A9 Aishwarya Kher, Food is my first love,husband comes second :)Sep 20 Funny, I rememberasking this question to my grandparents as a kid. I am a right handed person. Whenever I used the left handto even touch the food, I was scolded and told that we use left hand to cleanourselves so it’s gross and dirty to use it while eating. In India, as rightacross Asia, the left hand is for wiping your bottom, cleaning your feet andother unsavory functions (you also put on and take off your shoes with yourleft hand), while the right hand is for eating, shaking hands and so on. While you can hold a utensil in your left hand whileusing it, you may not get away with using the left hand to tear your bread.Also, it’s expected that you should not eat, pass food or wipe your mouth withyour left hand. This rule extendsbeyond food. I was told to not pass anything to anyone with your left hand, orpoint at anyone with it either. In general, you should accept things given toyou with your right hand – though using both hands is a sign of respect. It surely soundedlike an illogical argument because the right hand also get dirty due tomultiple reasons and either way, we wash both hands properly with soap beforeeating. My understanding isthat this cultural habit evolved during the times when proper sanitation wasnot available. Today, many people enforce it strictly in their homes and somedon’t. I use just one handto eat out of habit, but also find it most preferable because that way you cankeep the other hand free for holding something dry like a phone, glass, cup, orto pass on a dish to someone. It just feels more sophisticated and organized tome. Thanks for thequestion Fernando Ayoroa !! Reference: Cultureand etiquette in India My note- There are a good % of left handed people. Thoughthey may use right hand for writing etc, for many jobsthey use left hand. A left handed person can serve only using left hand. Formany food preparations both hands are used. Priests use both hands for doingpooja, we pray with both palms jointed, a heavy vessel is taken out from oven usingboth hands only. Either for peeling or for scrapping, both hands are used.Washing utensils both hands are used etc etc. Q10 Why is gold so expensive? A10 Jason Jimenez, Studied Geology (collegeminor) (Graduated 1996)Updated Sun Because historically since the first human civilizationsGold has always been a precious and expensive commodity Gold is worth somuch for two reasons. One,it’s malleable and two because it doesn’t oxidize.Gold doesn’t rust, doesn’tlose its luster. It’s this aspectwhich is why it has captivated humans since their first civilizations. Gold was worth much in ancientSumeria much like it is today. Gold’s lustrous and metallic qualities Make itdesirable and it never loses its luster. And as I mentionedabove Gold is malleable. It’s beautiful and it can be easily fashioned into aplethora of different objects. Gold’s lustrousand metallic qualities, its relative scarcity, and the difficulty of extractionhave added to the reasons why it is so expensive and always has been. And finallybecause gold is also a wonderful conductor of electricity. Also, white gold does not occurnaturally. It’s only made artificially in the lab by using 75% of yellow goldand the rest, I think is made of zinc, copper and palladium. Finally, platinumis also very malleable and also does not oxidize nor rust. Platinum is chemically heavier than gold. It is also chemically inert and will notoxidize in air at any temperature. It is resistant to acids and is not attackedby any single mineral acid. Platinum isincredibly rare and is 30 times more rare than gold. If all theplatinum ever mined were melted and poured into an Olympic-sized pool, theplatinum would barely reach your ankles. Gold, however, would fill three pools.Finally platinum is also a wonderful conductor of electricity. I hope that clearsup any confusion I 💖C2,questions, disagreements, curses and hexes!
