Q1 See you don't know that the best reclamation of land was done only in Singapore and Holland did not. That is your problem. MMoreover it is asking TN why you don't maKE USE OF THE SEA WATER FOR POTENT WATER AS dUBAI. cONDITIONS AND FINANCE AND VIABILITY ARE MAIN ISSUES WHICH AT 78 you should have known. It is aSKING WHY HIS HEAD IS BALD BUT NOT MINE ETC,. Q2 See your Q is stupid one; and you neither accept or dweny with any reason but simply reply I DO IT So all of us do?. Are you Buddha?. Q3 See again another gossip question?; what if placed on the sink or kitchen beside the water outlet or on the balcony or even inside the bedroom?. The installer knows the needs. Q4 1 Are you sure people do not know?; are u sure they are indian inventions only?; are u sure only that much a or should you go to pride of India site to produce a big list?. Oldest of the oldest and a 5 number list framinga stupid question. Q5 What a question and aNSWER SO FICKLE?. Have you driven a car in the strong lightning and heavy rains?. I have done it. I did not stop the car. Nothing happened even though the windshield flashes were passing through right in front where the shield cover inside the car alone was protecting my vision. As long as you do not stop and stand out, flashes will not harm the car. The tires are non-conductors of the electricity. Your reply hence only appears so confused if and if not etc. Q7 So awful Q8 Closet catching virus of RR is a viral rumour. So many homes have brushes hanging even in the worst RR. They did not die. Someone in the web site long ago started it and all are foolishly following it. Q9 All that you have stated is a universal truth and how did you get convinced about it.? Can you extract salt so easily from sea water? You yourself had also said that salt is gifted by the sea. The ratio of salt is uniform according to your stat percentage? Pl do verify all these. You will leaRN BETTER. Q10 Do you mean 99% of the drivers do not know or are out of the population?; why would one try to know what is not needed?; should all women has to know how a brothel is conducted?. And then frame a question that 99% women do not know and render this answer?. Do you know there are more line drawings for drivers throughout the earth?. NB: I am sorry you provoked me; you should not have shown your wisdom over your gossips matter to something which may save you from the worst rebirth. K R IRS 20123
