Q5 This Q episode is so funny; I am astounded by the discipline anchored by the writer so fastidious; had he been like that in all his endeavors, I am afraid, such people will not be, and render their own justice alone, according to the situations, the writer is a snab. In all nations, it is a rule to leave the elders ahead by waving their hands; many times even though I declined, the billing staff had invited me first. People who want equality in their 40s and 20s must lead kindly in all their efforts and affairs. Senior citizens have certain establishments which when disfigured so frivolously by such young idiots, well, nothing more to add. It is not a matter of right even; but a kind of discipline and culture. Q6 Apart from many repetitive Q &A found everyday, on food , finding a peculiarity really wonders me. Do animals consume SPICY FOODS?. Who said that?. this writer?. A new study shows that *tree shrews are the only known non-human mammal to deliberately seek out spicy food*. Can you eat as many chili peppers as a Chinese tree shrew? Probably not. A recent study found that these tree shrews are the only mammal aside from humans known to deliberately seek out spicy foods. Not animals. And foods have been divided according to taste into six types. The tongue has taste buds divided for their tastes. Spicy is also a healthy food; whether made of chilli or pepper imprints the health in the longer run; territory determines the spice; the anti food for the spicy are also taken together to reduce its effects. So spicy is not a distaste as the writer described. Q7 Again a fallacy. In India not even today even in our times, students did part time, why even helping the professors research papers. So such west and east etc are revealing the ignorance. Q9 is a good old story which came in the paper when he died. Why after all the time after? There are million doctors like that who are not acclaimed. Q10 oops not again KR IRS 271222
