CULTURAL QA 05-2023-11 Q1 Whatis the Indian thug life like?
A1 Raj, Lives in India2y First Incident - While Swami Vivekananda was travelling by train, in Rajasthan he wasresting in a second-class compartment with closed eyes as if meditating. Seeing Swamiji’s saffron dressand his relaxed composure, two Englishmen started abusing him. They were under the impression that Swamiji did notknow English. When the train reached the station, Swamiji asked a trainofficial for a glass of water, in English. The Englishmen were surprised; they asked Swamiji why he was silent,though he could understand them. Swamiji snapped back, “This is not the first time I have met fools.” Second Incident - Swamiji was wandering near the Himalayas some time. During his journey,he came across a river. The boat had already left the shore and he sat near theshore waiting for the boat to come back. As he was waiting, he saw anotherSadhu, a Siddh Yogi approaching. The Sadhu saw Swamiji sitting and asked why he was siting.To this, hereplied he was waiting for a boat. Curiously Sadhu asked, “What’s your name?” Swamiji replied, “I am Vivekananda.” The Sadhu said in a mocking tone,” Oh! You are the famous Vivekananda who just thinks byspeaking in foreign he has become a great sage.” “Could you cross this river?See I can cross the water by walking on it” and he demonstrates his power bywalking few meters on the river. Swamiji showing his respect humbly asked,” Indeed it’s a great power…howmuch time did you take to get this power?” The Sadhu feeling proud replied” It’s not easy, I had to bear the tough Himalayas for 20years, devoted myself to penance and after regular 20 years of extreme SadhanaI got this power.” To this Swamiji said,”You wasted 20 years to learn something that a boat would help me do in 5minutes. You could have used these 20 years serving the destitute, the poor.You wasted 20 years, to save 5 min. It’s not wisdom.” Q2 Whatare some unwritten social rules everyone should know? A2 Halima, to love is todream Nov 28 If a kid shows you their drawing/painting, don’t ask them what it is ortry to guess; just ask them to explain it to you. If you are eating with a friend, then offer them your food since sharingis caring. If someone tells you a joke andyou don’t think it’s funny, you should still laugh. When arguing with someone do not scream since it does not prove you right My note- If a few members in thegroup understand it about my postings,the group would have been very pleasant. Always call before you go to someone else’s house to avoid being an“unwanted guest”. Before entering any public transportation, let the passengers exit firstbefore you enter (it requires patience since everyone needs to be somewhere-youare not the only one in a hurry) If you borrow a car from someone, return it to them with the gas refilledand in good condition. When you are done with shopping, do not leave your cart in the middle ofthe aisle; park it in the designated area. Do not end an apology with an excuse it makes the other person think thatyou are justifying your wrong actions. When reading an answer on Quora that you enjoyed or agree with, don’tforget to upvote. Your oneupvote can motivate someone so much! :) My note- 95% of questions I select, I upvote with out forgetting. Q3 Whatis the personal identification number (PIN) code for BSNL SIM cards? A3 Gopala Krishnan, FormerAsst General Manager, Retired at Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)Just now. I doubt this is a question asked for just for asking a question. Since there are more towers and well-planned tower erection especially inhill sections, mobile phones with B S N L sims work more efficiently in suchareas. Especially in the Northeast India, I am told B S N L sim works moreefficiently( Or BSNL SIM mobiles only function there). Just like PIN of other SIMS of Airtel, Vodafone or JIO there is a PIN forBSNL SIMS also. It isused for locking SIM. This is a four digits code. There is another eight digits code for unlocking the SIM. For furtherdetails CHANGING pin ETC, contact customer care of B S N L. My note- PIN is a personal information and unlocking also not good to detail in the forum. Hence I have suggested customercare. Q4 Whatdo introverts mostly do? A4 Divya Yadav, Jan 14 So, I am an introvert person, and I don’t feel bad about it. It’s okay tobe introverted. We are less talkative. We justend the conversation in 1sec by saying “hmmm”. We don't want to talk to everybody. Only friends and family. I don't greet my teacher’s good morning or good evening when I accidentlymet then in the corridor: (Being an introvert, I observe so many things aboutpeople. In covid days I love wearing mask. It hides me from the world. We can finish our food without talking. Only focus on the food. We don’t step out from our roomwhen someone came to our house. We prefer to call over video call. And texting over phone call (Quora over Instagram :) We generally don’t talk bad aboutother people. Having Friend circle of only 1 friend: (Peace over big boss :) Single over mingle :) Edit: I feel irritated when someone say's why are you so quiet. (I waslike just shut up and do whatever you are doing). Feeling like escaping the world and making the new one where only you live(when accidentally you go somewhere without your friend). Q5 Whatis wrong with our society today? A5 Dr. Shashank Sneham, Stillstruggling with gender equality in India Updated 4y. It’s a baby Girl. We were in the operation theatre today to watch thefirst Caesarion section delivery of our career! After completing the formalities, the operation finally began. All thesteps were being operated smoothly. Meanwhile I promised my colleague standing by my side that I will throw atreat if it’s a girl child! :) (Yeah, I'm a little biased) ;) Then came the moment when the amniotic fluid started oozing out rapidly,was being sucked up by the machine and baby's head became visible to us. The doctor slowly pulled her out,and yes! It was a baby girl! I was happy that I am going to lose some bucksthis evening ;) The first cry of the baby was the best music I have heard in my entirelife! “Welcome to this world champ”, we wished her. I was happy, until a moment later when the mother of the child asked the doctor,- “What is it, doctor?” “It’s a baby Girl, and it’s healthy!”, said the doc as we were waiting tosee her reaction on this one. She went pale! The gloom onher face became evident! SHE WAS SAD, INDEED! This really hurt me. All those claims of a developing society seemedfalse to me at that moment. I went blank. My colleague felt the same, went out of the OT to relax herself out ofthis. There were relatives of the mother waiting outside for “the news”. “It’s a baby girl!”, they heard and suddenly there was an awkward silencearound there. Not just that theywere sad, they were consoling each other, “Its ok!” Looking all this, I was indeed taken aback. I kept saying these words tomy friends- “The way these people are reacting on the birth of this baby, Iwish she grows up to do wonders one day. She has my blessings and wishes. Itruly pray to God!” Yes, this is indeed what's wrong with our societytoday. But the bigger problem is- this reaction is not unique! This is a normalreaction on the birth of almost every single girl child in our society! Edit: Thanks to brother Suraj Rawat for suggestingcorrection regarding the use of word gloom! Appreciated! My note- Another doctor like Doctor Tiny Nair appreciating correction!! Q6 Whatare some mind-blowing facts that most people don't know? A6 Krishna Kamet, Apr 17 There is a species of jellyfish that never dies unless they are killed. The first condom was made somewhere in the 16th century. Russian was the first humanlanguage spoken in outer space. Lifetime warranties really mean the company’s lifetime, not yours. About 10 percent of the peoplein the world are lefties. My note- I am a left handed person though I write with right hand. Australia has over 10,000 beaches. You could visit a new beach every dayfor over 27 years. You have never technically watched a full movie because you areconstantly blinking. Sound cannot travel in space because there is no atmosphere for it totravel through. As a result, space is completely silent. There’s a language with only 12letters People on the island of Bougainville, speak a language with only 12 letters in it. If you make Ice Cubes with tap water, they will be white, and if you useboiled water, it will be transparent. Q7 Whichare the foods to avoid for diabetics? A7 Jon Shore, Former Type 2Diabetic, Psychotherapist dietingmindfully.com Updated 2y. I was diagnosed with Type 2diabetes last March 2017. I chose not to take any medications, so I changed mydiet and lifestyle. This is for Type 2 diabetes, not Type 1. For the first 6 weeks I went on a low carb high fat diet, LCHF. I did not eat more than 20 gramsof carbs a day. That lowered my blood sugar to the normal range. Then Iadjusted that diet for me. I did not eat more than 50 grams of carbs a day andlow to moderate fat. NOsugar, NO sugary drinks, NO fruit juices, NO sweet fruits, No refined flour, nopotatoes, or potato products. It was not easy changing so drastically, but I did not want to end uplike my dad, who had Type 2 diabetes, injecting insulin every day and dying ofdiabetes anyway. Thatimagery helped. Also, I created a specific mindfulness meditation and recordedit for myself to help get through all the changes. I even make it available nowto others as an audio that can be downloaded called the Dieting MindfulnessMeditations Stress will also raise your blood sugar levels. You can meditate toreduce stress. Now, 9 months later, my bloodsugar is perfect every day. I now live in Italy, so I do eat pasta and pizzawhen I feel like it. I also eat a lot of salads with olive oil and vinegar. Fish, chicken, eggs, veggies, nuts. I make my ownsugar free BBQ sauce and salsas. If I want something sweet, I eat chocolate with Stevia. Still nosugar, no sweet fruits. I will eat apples, berries. Also, I walk every day at least 4km usually more.Especially after a high carb meal like pizza. As long as I do all thismy blood glucose and A1C stays perfect. I am hoping that after a year I will beable to eat some of the beautiful pastries around here. :) ***So, to summarize…Read as much as possible aboutdiabetes. No sugars, no maple syrup, no honey, no fruit sugars, no sugarsubstitutes except Stevia. No refined flours, starches, Low carbs Eat moderate portions, Exercise. Meditate, Lower stress levels. This worked for me and worked for most other people. I have lost about 15lbs doing this so far. Losing weight helps as well. Anyone who tells you that you can eat moderate amounts of sugar does nothave to deal with diabetes and does not check their blood glucose level everyday. Maybe one day you will be ableto eat sugar again, but not now. Update, March 6, 2021 It has been a few years since I wrote this answer so I thought I wouldadd an update. Over the course of my first year, I ended up losing about 50 lbs. I havecontinued with the lifestyle changes I made and eat a moderate carb diet. Carbs only at lunch. No carbs atdinner and no eating after 7pm. A little sugarydesert now and then but I really have no craving for sugar any longer.If I want a sweet, I eat something with Stevia. I eat an apple every day andsometimes blueberries and strawberries. No fruit juices or sodas. No sugarydrinks at all. Only water. Exercise every day, keepstress levels as low as possible, meditation every day. I still have my A1c checked every few months and it is always normal,around 5.0. Am glad to wear smaller pants now. :) My note*** I hope I will not be blamed for repeating type 2 diabetic topics and hope not commenting like sitting in sofa and type as if the commenting member has divine power to watch me what all I am doing. I do things with in my limitation of age . Q8, CanI get a new BSNL SIM card?

Loving someone who used to love you.When you feel down and have noshoulder to cry on Meeting someone who means a lot to you and later realizing it was nevermeant to be. Saying goodbye to someone you wished to spend your lifetime with. When the person who gave you, the best memories become a memory. When an answer you wrote for hours on Quora gets noupvotes.
