KR : Music is not memory; Radhey unakku gopam agadadi was released long
before I was born; but the way in which it is rendered and the raga still
holds me to it. Music is timeless; spaceless; spread all over the air;
taste does matter; it is not old or new; memories are beyond them as many
words of the song or entire tune may not even been known to someone,
technically, to retain, yet, liking is different. For so many, music is
running in their blood; and many a times, it is running in their mind as a
loop. HASTY GENERALISATION.

mind playing back the person's memories in a dream sequence.

anticipation, memory, emotion and imagination are added together.

to think at all. Unless there is a clear mind, one thinks that he is
thinking.

Q2 Where are deserts that there shouldn't be?
Antarctica is a continent that is largely covered by ice and snow, and it
is widely known as the coldest place on Earth. However, there are several
areas in Antarctica where there is very little snow or ice, and instead,
the landscape is dry and barren. These areas are known as the Dry Valleys
and they are located in the McMurdo Sound region of Antarctica. The Dry
Valleys are a unique environment, with no other place like them on Earth.
They are completely devoid of ice and snow, and instead, they are
characterized by a rocky, desert-like landscape. The valleys are also
extremely cold, with temperatures ranging from -20°C to -60°C, and they
receive very little precipitation. The Dry Valleys are one of the driest
places on Earth, with some areas receiving less than 10 millimetres of
precipitation per year. The lack of precipitation is due to the cold, dry
winds that blow across the continent. These winds cause any moisture in the
air to freeze and fall as snow, which is then blown away by the wind.
Despite the harsh conditions, the Dry Valleys are home to a surprising
number of organisms. Researchers have found bacteria, algae, and even small
invertebrates living in the valleys. These organisms have adapted to the
extreme conditions and are able to survive without water for long periods
of time. Scientists are particularly interested in studying the Dry Valleys
because they provide a unique opportunity to study how life can survive in
extreme environments. By studying the organisms that live in the Dry
Valleys, scientists hope to gain a better understanding of how life may
have originated on Earth and how it might survive on other planets. In
conclusion, Antarctica is home to some of the harshest environments on
Earth, including the Dry Valleys. Despite the extreme conditions, the Dry
Valleys are home to a surprising amount of life, and they provide a unique
opportunity for scientists to study how life can survive in extreme
environments. As our understanding of the Dry Valleys and other extreme
environments on Earth improves, we may be able to gain insights into how
life can exist elsewhere in the universe.
KR BUT SIR IS IT A DESERT?
Q5 What are some amazing and unknown facts about the human heart?
Heart is the only organ in the body which never rest throughout the entire
life. {KR: Sir, IS IT A FACT? IF IT STOPS IT IS NOT HEART.}
Q7 What was life like before the car was invented?

it was invented. My mother had a wonderful pram with large overlapping
wheels, and leather straps suspending the body. There was hatch below the
baby giving access to a big space for groceries. Mum walked all over
Manchester pushing this pram, with me and my sister sitting inside.
KR: Pram your mother did in India then before the car was invented?
Q8 Which inventors have invented something useful without
registering the rights to their invention because they thought it was too
useful for mankind?
