Q1 Will there be black, brown, yellow, dark ,light people in future?. Pigmentation knowledge absence is the cause of color questions blindly. Q2 Frustration is for all; not only doctors; frustration comes only because of lack of knowledge and focus in the job. Both are equivalent to greed and Laziness. न च शक्नोम्यवस्थातुं भ्रमतीव च मे मनः । निमित्तानि च पश्यामि विपरीतानि केशव ॥३०॥chap1 na ca śaknomy avasthātuṁ bhramatīva ca me manaḥ nimittāni ca paśyāmi viparītāni keśavakrodhad bhavati sammohah sammohat smriti-vibhramah smriti-bhranshad buddhi-nasho buddhi-nashat pranashyati *BG 2.63*: Anger leads to clouding of judgment, which results in bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, the intellect gets destroyed; and when the intellect is destroyed, one is ruined. Q3 Again an illiterate Qand A. Bushes if absent and trees are present in the darkness will not the driver swerve along?. Divider is only to regulate. Swerving is lack of concentration in the driving, due to tirednesss or the eyes start focussing too much. Greenery not bushes might alter the focus. No driver will only look on the roads straight but will turn the head towards the rear view mirror and out side , to change the focus . What a stiupid question tyhat 99% do not know?. May be G and Jordon may not. Every driver not only on road or surface but even a pilot changes the focus to come back.Q4 A lot of confusion in this question. Jakartha Bandung is in Indonasia 140 Kms long. China was given the contract to lay. Japan was another bidder. Yanwen express courier company of China was the expert entered to do the project. Yanwen is drafted as Yawan express?. India had also laid certain tracks. It sounds as if there is international relationship of train running in between china nad indonasia some thing sounds like that. Please check all facts before making an entry. Of course quora graduates or non graduates are eminent anthro, scientist etc etc but yet.......Q5 Easwara. Researchers have *long debated* when humans starting talking to each other. Estimates range wildly, from *as late as 50,000 years ago to as early as the beginning of the human genus more than 2 million years ago*. Hasty generalisation cannot be a profound knowledge sir. How can one know which language firdt started etc , sitting over here in 2023AD ?. The writing including drawing came only later. Even the Tarzan language could have been. But one thing all over the world accepted is Rig vedam was the oldest; so samskritham can be said; before that all human would have said AMMA as the first word in their own tongue. It is the universal language Rig Vedam Vak sturi is unknown to G but some mad cap,s guess work is!!.Q6 The graduate of Incometax had answered. Pl recheck all and dont fill pages and extol all of them as geniuis anthro etc. Q7 Why left rest room?Q8 Have you faced such G? Dubey like so many were hanged including IAS, IPS and IRS officers not only in India , even abroad. What makes Dubey so highlighted?. Have you read the whole story?. You should have read it before filling and GOK might be repeated aagain here also!!Q9 Before Dark, brown and other chocolates does the author knew that the ingradients made by the manufactirers? LEAD AND CADMIUM. Do you want to eat?. Q10 Again Easwara. Have you not seen local electric trains?. KR IRS 18223
