Q3 Whatare some mind-blowing facts about food?
KR A3 NOT ALL BANANAS {Bananas can help improveyour mood and lower blood
pressure.}
CRAVINGS IS MIND CONCERNED; FOOD MIGHT CONTROL THE EFFECTONLY TO A LIMITED
EXTENT; DESIRE IS DIFFERENT ACCORDING TO THE JATAKA AND GUNAKARMA; THERE ARE
PEOPLE WHO EAT ALWAYS; THERE ARE WHO RESTRICT DIET; AGE ISANOTHER FACTOR; ELDER
AND THE YOUNGER CANNOT BE COMPARED. DESIRE FOR SWEET DEPENDSNOT ON THE TONGUE
BUT BY THE MIND. WHEN RAMAKRISHNA THE CONTROLLED MIND SAGE,WAS APPROACHED BY A
LADY, TO CORRECT THE FONDNESS, OF HER CHILD, FOR THE SWEETEATING, HE ASKED FOR
A WEEK TIME; NEXT WEEK HE ADVISED THE CHLD; WHEN HISSISHYA ASKED ABOUT IT, HE
SAID, HE HIMSELF IS DESIROUS OF SWWEET; SO FIRRST ONEWHO ADVISES MUST BE
PERFECT; HE TOOK A WEEK TIME, TO CONTROL HIMSELF. CRAVING IS THAT OF MIND.

NO. TASTE IS BYBUDS NOT AT 30000 FEET CHANGE. SAFFRON TAKING LADIES IN

Q8 Arethere ways to slow down the aging process and extend our
natural lifespansbeyond what is currently thought to be possible?
KR Mr Gmust first change the outlook. When youstudy broadly, one will
find a lot of fine writing on this earth. In our groupsI find many interesting
writings. I am able to appreciate so many. But it isthe objective style. Mind
concerned. If one shuts out the brain and the mind,and runs through the bias
perception, mother-in-law and daughter in law combat,will show wrong spectrum
only. The good will turn so bad; the worst may eventurn so refined. That is not
the right perception. Also for the beginner, everyinformation, so far, unknown,
when presented will appear only as stunning. Bitfor a seasoned reader, one will
sift the good from the worse. No wife ordaughter will say her husband/father
writing as bad; but son will say it; becauseboth are belted with the emotions.
Mr J writes wonderful thought of the daypicked from somewhere. It kindles my
thoughts more. Normally both the good andthe bad will kindle the brain who
knows that he knows. Mr J wrote on silence. Icould feel the book I read “the
stillness is the key by Ryan holiday of Austin USA”.He is one of the few
authors of the million copies books sold, who writes aboutall the religions of
the world, quoting with perfection, including Indian Vedasand B G . That is a
smart writing. He speaks about the silence. Here whetherageing process must be
extendable by some methods; Did Dr Tiny wrote anythingof her own? Quoted some
research letters. The bias I used to say is, when I doit G says its copy and
paste; but when Dr Tiny does it he eulogises. That isbias. Our Mahabharatham
Beeshma says and Vana parva and other parvas discussesthis. Growing gracefully
old titled books are written. But no one can defeatwhat is written. B G sattva
guna retains the good health subject to predetermination.All the exercise, good
food, morality, good habits may not make one live longeras many died at 32.
People like KK lived longer. So, we can try but we are notassured.
Karmanyevadikarste ma palashu .
Q10 What aresome mind-blowing facts that most people don't know?
KR I don’t knowhow many minds so far were blown. Science said the least as
reported in theanswer; but there are stunning truth predicted by our modern
science as” When a star like our Sun dies,it doesn’t explode into a supernova
or collapse into a black hole. Instead, itgently sheds its outer layers, which
form a beautiful cloud called a “planetarynebula”, while the dying star’s core
becomes a white dwarf.Gravity and other influences shape the cloud into
interesting patterns, and thecomplex chemicals inside the nebula glow in
interesting colors when lit by thewhite dwarf. As a result, we often name
planetary nebulas for the way they lookto us: the Ring Nebula, the Dumbbell
Nebula, the Stingray Nebula, and so forth.”.
However, the said nebula by name Eagle nebula with thepillars
photographed by Hubble recently is seen as SYENA narrated as eagle in few
places in the Rig Vedam; andMundaka Upanishad connected to the Atharva vedam,
in chap 2 2 speaks as indepth meaning of the space and time movements. The
great details are beingstudied by many in depth. Nabula is termed as dust; but
our words in the spaceis also among the old waves spinning around. The time in
space where the light speedis exceeded, the time stops. Nebula is recycling the
burst of the stars . thescience knew a few only. KR IRS 21423

CULTURAL QA 04-2023-24
Q1 Canyou feel the difference after an oil change? Does changing
engine oil make adifference?
A1 ErikaFernandez, Car Lover Apr 7
Yes, changing engine oil can make a difference in theperformance of your
vehicle. Regular oil changes areimportant to keep your engine healthy and
running smoothly, as oil plays acrucial role in reducing friction between
moving parts in the engine,preventing metal-to-metal contact that generates
heat and causes wear and tear.
Neglecting to change your oil regularly can lead to avariety of problems, from
lower fuel efficiency to costly engine damage.
After an oil change, you may feel a difference in theperformance of your
vehicle, such as smoother acceleration, better fuelefficiency, and reduced
engine noise. Fresh oil helpsimprove the engine's efficiency, and changing your
oil regularly can extend thelife of your vehicle.
The length of time you can go between oil changes withsynthetic oil depends on
various factors, includingthe type of synthetic oil, the manufacturer's
recommendations, and your drivinghabits.
In general, synthetic oil can go 10,000 to 15,000 miles, orsix to 12 months,
between changes under "normal" driving conditions.However, it is important to
follow the manufacturer's recommendations and toconsider your driving habits
when determining the oil change interval.
Q2 Howdoes the Internet work?
A2 Digital Services And Products, BusinessConsultant | Digital
Marketing Services | IT Guru Apr 10
The Internet is aworldwide network of computers that communicate with each
other using a set ofstandard protocols. It allows users to communicate with
each other, accessinformation, and perform various tasks using devices such as
computers,smartphones, and tablets. In this article, we will look at how the
Internetworks and the different components that make it possible.
The Internet is essentially a network of networks, witheach network consisting
of various devices such as routers, switches, servers,and computers.
Thesedevices are connected to each other using physical links such as
cables,fiber-optic lines, and wireless connections. The physical links
thatconnect the devices are referred to as the network infrastructure.
The Internet uses a set of standard protocols toensure that different devices
can communicate with each other in a standardizedway. The most importantof
these protocols is the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)
protocol suite. This protocol suite is responsible forensuring that data is
transmitted reliably between devices on the Internet.
When a user wants to access a website, they enter thewebsite's URL into their
web browser. The browser then sends a request to thewebsite's server,
requesting the web page. The server then sends the web pageback to the user's
browser, which displays the page on the user's screen.
To facilitate this communication, the user's device and thewebsite's server
exchange packets of data. A packetis a unit of data that is transmitted over a
network. Each packet contains aheader and a payload. The header contains
information about the packet, such asthe source and destination addresses,
while the payload contains the actualdata being transmitted.
The Internet uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to translatehuman-readable
domain names (such as Google) into IP addresses (such as172.217.6.110). This
allows users to accesswebsites using easy-to-remember domain names instead of
IP addresses.
To ensurethat data is transmitted reliably between devices, the TCP protocol
breaks datainto smaller packets and sends them individually. Eachpacket is
acknowledged by the receiving device, and if a packet is lost ordamaged, the
sender retransmits it. This ensures that data is transmittedreliably, even over
unreliable networks such as the Internet.
Anotherimportant protocol used by the Internet is the HyperText Transfer
Protocol(HTTP). This protocol is used to transfer web pagesfrom the server to
the user's browser. HTTPS is a more secure version ofHTTP that uses encryption
to protect data transmitted between the user's deviceand the website's server.
In conclusion, theInternet is a complex network of networks that allows devices
to communicatewith each other using a set of standard protocols. The TCP/IP
protocol suite isresponsible for ensuring that data is transmitted reliably
between devices,while the DNS translates domain names into IP addresses. The
Internet hasrevolutionized the way we communicate and access information, and
itsimportance in modern society cannot be overstated.
My note- Most ofus would have received information frombanks etc,recently to
ensure they visita site of bank with HTTPS and not HTTP

Q4 Whydo most Indians love eating Dal Chawal?
A4 Bhuvana Rameshwar, Lives in India(1989–present)Mon
Dal chaawal.. Lentils and Rice, paruppu saadam, pappu -annam and so on in other
Indian languages..
We Indians love it.why?
Because it issimple to make.. No
Because it is eatenin all Indian houses.. No
Because it is easyon our budget.. No
Because it is richin proteins (dals).. No
Because it is oftenmade by mothers who are lazy.. No
Because it is thequickest to make.. No
Because it isour comfort food. A simple mashed dhal with littlesalt, rice and
if possible a little butter or ghee is given as the first solidfood for a baby.
Allbabies associate the dhal rice with their mother, grandmother, their first
home.Toddlers, primary school children also prefer this to other spicy
Indiangravies and rasam.
We have memories ofour first “solid food “ carried on through childhood to
adulthood. Our tastebuds have sweet memories of this new tasty meal given after
drinking milk ormilk based paste like cereals for many months. Dal chaawal was
such a change in taste from milk.This nostalgia makes us love dhal-rice. After
falling sick too we are given dal- chaawal, a non spicy, yet tasty food for
speedy recover.
The most satisfyingmeal in all Indian houses. Potato fry is the best side dish
for adults.
Even on feast ,festivals marriage, reception and otherhappy days we in southern
India, especially TN serve a liitle mashed dhal tohave with rice and ghee as a,
starter, on our big platter on the banana leaf.
Notice the dhal(cooked yellow gram) on rice, a little ghee makes it heavenly.
Everybody begins, with dhal - rice.What gives more satisfaction in a feast more
than dhal - rice? Every host knowsthat is the way to connect emotionally with
his guests. All other hi end itemsare only add ons. The dhal rice has already
satisfied the guests.
My note- Many use green dhal and rice.Especially in srardha thoordhal is not
used.
Q5 Whatfacts about Japan do foreigners not believe until they come to
Japan?
A5 Visar Krasniqi, Trusted for greatsleep & coffee, expert in snooze
& brew Apr 3
One fact is that Japan is one of the safest countries inthe world, and it is
not uncommon to see children walkingto school alone or women walking alone at
night without fear of being attacked.The low crime rate and the strong emphasis
on social order and respect forothers are deeply ingrained in Japanese culture.
Another surprising fact is the incredible conveniencethat is available in
Japan. From vending machines sellingeverything from hot drinks to electronics,
to the efficiency of publictransportation, everything in Japan is designed to
make life easier for itscitizens. For example, trains and buses always run on
time, and the stationsare equipped with electronic signs that provide real-time
information on trainschedules and delays.
Foreigners may also be amazed by the attention to detailand the level of
customer service in Japan. Service isan important part of Japanese culture, and
the concept of"omotenashi" (hospitality) is deeply ingrained in Japanese
society.
Everywhere you go in Japan, from hotels and restaurants to shops andtourist
attractions, you can expect to be treated with the utmost respect andcare.
Q6 Whydoes engine oil become dark brown or even black over time?
A6 Erika Fernandez, Works at Freelancer,Novelist, Writer Wed
Engine oil becomes dark brown or even black over timedue to a variety of
factors. During normal operation, heat cycles naturally darkenmotor oil. When
the engine reaches normal operating temperature, the motor oilheats up, and
then it cools while the car sits in the parking lot.
Some additives in motor oil are more susceptible todarkening in the presence of
heat than others. Inaddition, normal oxidation can darken oil. Over time, the
oil's viscosity changes, and it becomescontaminated with dust and dirt, which
causes it to turn muddy and look verydark or blackish in appearance.
Thick, very dark,or black engine oil usually indicates that the oil has been
exposed to dirt ordust contaminants that lead to a soot. The color of the oil
does not dictate the efficiency ofoil, and judging an oil’s efficiency on color
alone is not possible.
When regular engineoil changes are neglected, normally free-flowing lubricating
oil breaks down,becomes contaminated, ceases to flow, and is transformed into a
thick soup ofwaste.

Q8 Arethere ways to slow down the aging process and extend our
natural lifespansbeyond what is currently thought to be possible?
A8 TinyNair, Cardiologist at PRS Hospital, Trivandrum Jan 15
‘By the way, don’t open the ceramic box (jar)’ announced the husbandbefore he
left home. Feminine curiosity was no lessintense in 700 BC as it is today.
Ms. Pandora opened the box, and as per Greek mythology, letall the human misery
escape – from debility to ageing, from disease topandemic, everything.
She panicked and closed the lid quickly. She didn’trealize that the cures like
youthfulness, hope, health and happiness was lyingat the bottom of the box. But
your wife knows.
In 1961, American scientist Leonard Hayflick fromPhiladelphia made an
astounding discovery. In the lab, cultured humancells could divide to a maximum
of 50 times, and then it perished.
Chromosomes, the coiled structure inside our cells thathouses our genetic code,
has a protective ‘shoe’ called telomere at its end, toprevent the edges from
fraying, during cell division.
In 1980, Elizabeth Blackburn from Australia proved that asingle-cell organism
‘tetrahymena’ can be kept immortalin the lab petri-dish by constant supply of
an enzyme ‘telomerase’ that keepsthe sole of the telomere ‘shoe’ intact.
Biologic immortality atcellular level was now in sight. The discovery fetched
her the Nobel Prize in2009.
Token 32 came riding on a stainless steel wheel-chair,a frail, elderly lady,
her ‘salt-pepper’ unkempt hair, ‘crow-feet’ side trims;an unmatched blouse with
a wrinkled silk-saree causally wrapped over her torso.Her heavyweight
goldchain, gymnastic-ring earrings and jumbo-size gold bangles indicated that
shewas in no financial insolvency.
‘How are you, Amma?’ I try to greet her with asmile, the best that Icould
sport at 2-30 in the afternoon.
‘I am unwell son, aches and painall over, unable to move, all effect of old
age’ the patient announced.
It was only when I looked at her medical records, it struckme; she is my age.
My same age!
Either her‘telomere’ is bad, or my ‘hair dye’ is good.
Self-grooming ismuch more than skin-cream and hair-dye.
Watch a rodent, a lab animal, a cat or a dog. It spendssubstantial amount of
time in self grooming. Licking,shaking, rubbing scratching, every way it can,
it tries to keep itself clean.It is vital for its survival by preventing
infections and parasites. A labanimal that stops self-grooming, signals that it
is sick and it is going todie.
Self-groomingin humans have evolved a lot from bathing and brushing to fairness
creams andhair colour. Self-grooming improve self-esteem, but thereis more. It
improves self-perception, not just what others think about you, butwhat you
think about yourself. A film star, concerned about how people perceive her
(showcasedself-image) is not what we are talking about. It is what you think
aboutyourself (mirror self-image). A distorted mirror self-image is a problem.
The verydefinition of ageing has changed, not everyone above age 65 years is
old.
Those between 65and 75 years is termed ‘young old’, 75 years till 85 ‘middle
old’ and 85 pluslabelled ‘older old’.
In countries like Japan, there are many ‘older old’ whoare healthy and fit,
proving that ageing does not necessarily make youunhealthy. Bright and active
people like biologistRichard Dawkins (82) thinker Daniel Kahneman (88), and
linguist Noam Chomsky(91) proves the point.
This ledresearchers to come up with the concept of ‘frailty’. Frailty is
combination ofdifficulty in moving around (mobility), slow thinking or poor
memory (cognition),loss of muscle and bone mass and difficulty in activities of
daily living.Elaborate scores are in place to quantify frailty. While only 10%
of those between 65 to 75 years arefrail, the frailty percentage increase to
25% above 85 years of age.
The US NationalHealth and Aging Trend Study of 4800 patients done at Johns
Hopkins Universityat Baltimore in 2021 showed that those who had low
self-esteem andself-perception scores at the start of study, had a 41% higher
risk ofdeveloping frailty on seven year follow-up. So take careof your image to
yourself.
As acclaimedtrainer Tom Hopkins puts it ‘You are your greatest asset. Put
yourtime, effort and money in grooming yourself.’ Not for others to appreciate,
but for yourhealth.
The jar your wife digs her finger into now and then, whichyou presume to be
face cream, is in reality the pandoras box; she is trying toscoop out the
left-over ‘youthfulness’.
(From my articlepublished in the HINDU today)
My note- What abeautiful writing- Such skill is God given. Perhaps one member
in the group may not agree to my note. For himthese are silly ones.
Q9 CanI buy only the outside unit of a split AC?
A9 Gopala Krishnan, Former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at
Department of Telecom (1966–2004)Just now
The outdoor unit isthe prime part of the split AC. The cost of indoor unit is
only 10% of the total price.
As far as myknowledge goes Newoutdoor unit alone cannot be obtained from shops
in India. But ACservice shops may be able to give 2nd hand or repaired unit
sometimes.
No wise person will try to purchase AC outdoor unitalone.Most will dispose both
the units to repair shops for the price they could getand purchase a latest AC
unitwith in the budget.
Q10 Whatare some mind blowing facts that most people don't know?
A10 Krishna Kamat, Sun
Here are some mindblowing facts about Nebula that most people don't know
A Nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space.Some nebulae (more thanone
nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dyingstar.
Other nebulae are regions where new stars are beginning to form.
The Nebula was made largely of hydrogen with some heliumand small amounts of
the remaining naturally occurring chemical elements.
Nebula come in manydifferent shapes and sizes. There are four main types of
nebula — Planetary nebula, Reflectionnebula, Emission nebula, and Absorption
nebula.
The closestknown nebula to Earth is called the Helix Nebula. It is the remnant
of a dying star. It is approximately 700light-years away from Earth.
The word nebulacomes from the Latin word for cloud.
