Q1         Which is better, almonds or peanuts?

A1          Priya Chaudhary, Read n discussed overnuts many times Sat

Almonds and peanuts contain the same vitamins like B andE, but in different 
amounts.You should eat more almonds if you need to boost your intake of 
antioxidantvitamin E as they have 45 percentage  ofyour recommended daily 
allowance in just a one-ounce serving.

On the other hand,peanuts are better sources of B vitamins like folate and 
niacin.

Just one ounceserving of peanuts can give you 10 percent of your recommended 
daily allowanceof folate and about 24 percent of the RDA of niacin. Almonds 
have less of thesehealthy vitamins.

The magnesiumcontent in both is there in good amount, but almonds contain 
marginally moremagnesium.

Almonds have two times more iron and five times morecalcium than peanuts, 
though they both have the same amount of zinc.

So, the verdict isin favour of almonds, as they are better nutritionallythan 
peanuts as they contain more iron, calcium, magnesium and healthy fats. Ifyou 
wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a 
Dietician/Neutrician.

Q2         An airline canceled a flight that wasbooked 6 months earlier and 
wants twice the amount to fly on another flight.Can I demand the same price?

A2          Michelle Soroh, Travel adventurescalling? Save up to 90% w Mighty 
Travels. Dec 20

No, unfortunately you cannot demand the same price for aflight that was booked 
6 months earlier.

Airlines have theright to change prices and cancel flights due to unforeseen 
circumstances.

However, if youfeel like your rights as a customer were violated in any way, it 
is best tocontact the airline directly and explain your situation.

They may be able to offer some kind of compensation oralternative solution that 
works better for both parties involved.

Q4         As a South Indian, what was yourbiggest cultural shock while 
visiting North India?

A4          Sai Sankar, Indian by birth and byheart Dec 20

Not a cultural shock, but a big difference in attitudes.

I went to Delhiduring Diwali time, i.e., Nov/Dec in 2005. I was working with an 
outsourcingcompany back in Hyderabad and that company got the contract of Core 
BankingSolutions of State Bank of Mysore. I have been sent to Delhi to complete 
the work in threeof SBM branches located in Naya Bazar and Cannaught Place.

While working inNaya Bazar branch, I was surprised to see the number ofgifts, 
ranging from small briefcase to even refrigerators, the employees weregetting 
from the local businesspeople. Me and my friend both weresurprised to see such 
lavish gifts giving to the employees. One of theemployees of the Bank has told 
me and my friend to those businesspeople thatthey are also our employees and 
treat them also.

>From thenext day, we also received gifts worth around Rs.3000. If we have 
>beenintroduced fromdayone we might have gotten more gits.

Why I am tellingthis, because in the South, especially in Andhra Pradesh, 
people are sonarrow-minded, that giving a small gift they feel that they are 
giving theirwhole property moreover people are not as friendly as Northies. 
Peoplehere are very much self-obsessed.

Q5         I’m diabetic. Should I be eating fruit?

A5          Saurav Vardhan Singh, Facilitator atSchools (2011–present)Wed

Yes, of course adiabetic person can eat fruits. It is a common myth that 
adiabetic person cannot eat fruits because they are sweet in taste so 
containmore sugar, but it is not correct. The total amount ofcarbohydrates in a 
food affects blood sugar levels more than the source ofcarbohydrates whether it 
is starch or sugar. A diabetic person can eatfruits in the morning according to 
his weight . Naturopathydeals with the eradication of diabetes with a diet 
which contains fruits andvegetables. You can follow the DIP diet for a better 
life and completewellness.

The following fruit servings contain about 15 grams ofcarbohydrates:

1/2 medium apple   1/2 medium banana

1 cup blackberries    3/4 cup blueberries

1 medium orange

My note- Theproblem with diabetics is once they start to eat any fruits, they 
eat more.Most have no mind to be in limits- even for misers!!!

Q6         How do RAC tickets get confirmedeasily?

A6          Indian Railways Space,Answered by SrilekhaRajasekar Dec 16

RAC mean the travelis confirmed but in a shared seat. You have to share the 
single berth with oneanother person meaning you cannot sleep in the berth, all 
you can do is simplysit with the another person.

If you are lucky enough, you might be assigned a separateberth post chart 
preparation or even afterboarding there are chances that the TTE will give you 
the berth if availablepost ticket checking.

In order to increase the chances of getting a separateberth, you can choose 
this option called “Consider for Auto Upgrade”while booking the tickets. If you 
choose this option while booking,during chart preparation you will be upgraded 
to the higher coach like3rd/2nd/1st AC if there is a availability in those 
coaches. This isapplicable only if you choose this option “Consider for Auto 
Upgrade”

My note- What afoolish softwarewhichupgrades an RAC, but not a person who 
booked berth months before who too optedfor auto upgrade. There must be 
sufficient patch work so thatthose who booked early must get upgrading. 
Comments are invited.

Q7         Is it possible to damage your bladderavoiding going to the toilet 
and retaining your urine for too long?

A7          Incontinence Answered by Ab'BenBurnner 20h

It is reported by urologist that the longer one holds theurine it will cause 
the bladder walls to become thicker making them weaker andharder for the 
muscles to control the contractiontherfore causing leakage leading to oab and 
eventually mild to too heavyincontence or becoming totally Incontenient where 
you will end up needing towear protection 

My note- For practical reasons women hold theurine because neat and cleaned 
toilets are not available when tempted. 

Most menespecially diabetics least bother of any such thing. They are anxious 
to find atoilet.

Q8         What is a bulk curd?

A8          Answered by Gaurang Chavan Dec 16

curd method

This is the mosttraditional way of making curd at home. For this, first take 
half a liter ofmilk (you can take as much milk as you want). Now put the milk 
on the gas to heatit. When the milk starts boiling after getting hot, turn off 
the gas and let the milk cool down. When themilk remains lukewarm, put curd in 
it all around and in the middle.After this, keep the milk covered in a flat and 
warm place. Keep in mind that after addingsourdough, do not stir the milk again 
and again, otherwise theclotted curd will not be able to set.

Eat curd stored in an earthen pot, get health with taste

curd thickens

Earthen pots areporous which makes them water absorbent. Earthen pots absorb 
excess water andthis makes the curd thick. In glass or metal, the 
waterdisplaced by the curd remains inside, making it runny and water-like.

Buffalo milk isused in curd, paneer, butter, ghee and ice cream and is known 
for its creamyand rich texture.

My note- Ihave read else where curd added must be well stirred to get thick 
curd.I find water likesubstance remains over the curd and I conveniently pour 
it in a plate.Remaining appears as thick curd.

Q10               What do economy class passengersnot get about first class 
passengers?

A10        Sarah Winston, Thu

They think we are rich.

Truth is, almostnobody you see in First paid full fare. Almost all of them are 
there because ofstatus upgrades. Meaning, they belong to the airline’s frequent 
flier programand have earned the airmiles through years of weekly flying to get 
bumpedalmost every time. Others, by virtue of membership,are offered discounted 
upgrades at check in. For an extra 200, they can get upfront. Others have the 
credit card linked to airmiles, and have paid an economyfare but used some 
miles to “buy-up”.

Q11               Why is a one way ticket sometimesmore expensive than a round 
trip ticket?

A11        Michelle Soroh, Travel adventurescalling? Save up to 90% w Mighty 
Travels.Fri

A one way ticket issometimes more expensive than a round trip ticket because 
airlines are incentivized toencourage customers to purchase the round trip 
option.

Airlines make moremoney when they can fill both legs of a flight, so they offer 
discounts forpurchasing the two tickets together.

Additionally, ifsomeone purchases a one-way ticket and then decides to stay 
longer or come backearlier than expected, it can be difficult for an airline to 
resell that seatat full price.

Therefore, offeringdiscounted rates on round trips helps them maximize their 
profits while stillproviding flexibility for travellers who may need it.

My note- When I got eligibility to travel by 2ndAC for the first time on LTC, 
just for experience of flighttravel, I booked ticket for me and wife by flight 
from Trivandrum to Chennai,paying the remaining money from my pocket .I 
returned by 2ndAC!!!

Q12               What happens if you only showerwith water?

A12        G. Fraust, I am a freelance writer witha passion for storytelling Fri

Showering with justwater can be an effective way to clean your skin and hair. 
Water is a natural cleanser andcan help to rinse away dirt, sweat, and other 
impurities from your body.

However, using justwater to shower may not be sufficient for everyone. Some 
people may find that they need to use soap oranother type of cleanser to 
effectively remove all of the dirt and oil fromtheir skin and hair.

If you only shower with water and don't use any soap orother cleansing 
products, you may find that your skin feels dry or itchy afteryour shower. This 
is because water can stripthe natural oils from your skin, which can lead to 
dryness. To help prevent dryskin, you may want to consider using a moisturizing 
body wash or applying amoisturizer to your skin after showering.

It's also worth noting that showering with just watermay not be sufficient for 
removing certain types of dirt or stains from yourskin or hair. In these cases, 
you may need to usea soap or other cleaning product to effectively remove the 
dirt or stains.

Overall, whether ornot you should shower with just water or use soap or other 
cleansing productsdepends on your individual needs and preferences. It's a good 
idea to pay attention to your skin andhair and use products that help you feel 
clean and comfortable.
