CULTURAL QA 05-2023-14 Respectedfriends,
Despite my polite request not to respond mypostings with debatable points, sarcasm abusing etc. Mr Rajaram is not ready toaccept my request as I made out from his response. Moderator of Iyer 123 group also requestedhim, he need not respond to each posting. He cannot resist responding. Let himrespond- Ok. No sarcasm and abusing. So, I will be paying back in the samecoin if Mr Rajaram continues sarcasm and abusing. I cannot remain quiet reading his abusing. Myeffort has gone in vain despite my request. He does not want the group to be pleasant. Hisonly intention is to stop my postings. Unfortunately,I cannot accept it since moderator desires good contribution from members andmany of my friends are awaiting my postings. Sincerely, Gopalakrishnan 14-5-2023 Q1 What are some unwritten social ruleseveryone should know? A1 Sejal, Indian Updated Jan23 Dress well no matter what the occasion. Always carry cash. Always getup when you are sitting,and someone come to greet you. Always comment on good things do not keep in heart. If the phone is on the speaker inform. Chat to anyone who is sitting alone at a party or in a group. Do not have the impulse to sit near look-alike you. If everyone fulfilsthis, people who represent any minority will end up sitting alone. If feasible, avoid the plan to go outdoor if you have a runny nose. Do not swipe left or right if individual shows you a photo on theirphone. Wave your hand rather than calling his or her name if someone is far oron phone or earphones plugged in. Offer a glass of water to thedelivery man. People know the worth. If successful wear shirt of three hundred it seemsthree thousand and if unsuccessful wear three thousand it seems three hundred. Do not show off. When anyone gets shouted at do not look at them. It is more awkward. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. Does not matter ifit is a guy or a girl. Stop being late, it is irritating. When someone starts talking about their conditions, do not start talkingabout yours. Never ask a shy person what is wrong or ask them ‘why aren’t you talkingmore?’ It only makes them feel more awkward. When visiting someone's house, carry something. When you open a gift, just say thank you. Do not say, "It's tooexpensive!" Being vegetarian or non-vegetarian is a choice. Do not ask anyone why itis so. Do not sympathize with anyone in public. This will embarrass a personmore than be laughing at. Do not expect others to understand how hard you are working and living.Everyone doing. If you like working with smart people, be prepared to be used by themtoo. As well as Worshipped and learn from them too. Your attitude. Do not make suggestions; Butwhen it comes to house, car, marriage do not give advice. Because these are especiallyimportant things & if something goes wrong, you will be blamed, or they maystop talking to you. Greeting Etiquette = The 6S- Stand, See, Smile, State, say, Shake Do not look at your phone when others are talking to you. Q2 What are some incredible facts aboutthe Indian Armed Forces?

Q3, do we see rich kids at IITs/NITs? A3 Hardik Airy, IITian UpdatedApr 24 Yesterday we had faculty student dinner arranged for a friendlyinteraction with teachers. An unwritten code is — You come to these functions dressed in formalsdespite of the number of lectures that you attended in your shorts, t shirtsand slippers. The evening was lit, the food was simmering, and the crowd startedgathering. The only problem — I hadforgotten my formals back at home! I was standing at the balcony staring disheartened at the night skywatching others get ready in their best getups, applying perfumes all over. In came my friend. He asked me — “Hey, don't you go?” I told him about my plight in thesimilar soothing tone — “I don't have Formals to wear". He announced this in the whole corridor and that was it. Flying towards me came a Shirt.Another one brought me Pants. Thirdone pointed towards the extra pair of formal Shoes under his bed. Took someone's watch. Picked someone else's glasses. And I was ready to go.Without a Rich Heart, Wealth is just an ugly Beggar. Do not know about Money but I do have some “RICH” IITian friends. Q4 What are the behaviours of a confidentperson? A4 Priyambad Singh, Lives inIndia (1996–present)8mo I am sure you must have been his interviews and speeches. This is SubrahmanyamJaishankar, an Indian diplomat and politician serving as the Minister ofExternal Affairs of the government of India since May 2019. Whenever I see his interviews, I see confidence, fearlessness, and lovefor his country. I will quote here an excerpt from one of his interviews which I sawrecently. The Interviewer: Mr Jaishankar there will always be two axes. At thispoint it is an understood fact that we have the US led west and the China lednext potential axis. So where do you think India fits into? Dr Jaishankar: This is exactly where I disagree with you. This is theconstruct you are trying to impose on me, and I do not accept it. It is not important for me tojoin this axis and if I am not a part of this axis, I need to join the other.We are one-fifth of world population, fifth largest economy. I amentitled have my own side, I am entitled to have my own choices and my choices willnot be cynical and transactional, but there will be a balance of my values andmy interest. There is no country in this world that disregard its interests. To be honest I am a huge fan of Dr S Jaishankar, congress leader RahulGandhi calls it as an arrogant Indian foreign policy but when I see himdelivering speeches, I canonly see a confident man having immense love for his country. Q5 Lord Shiva's temple where the size ofthe Nandi idol increases every year, where is it and what are the details? A5 Surendra Kumar Kumawat,PR 20 Bizarre temple of Ramayana period, which is beyond the rules ofscience.... The size of Nandi's idol in this temple increased so much that the pillarhad to be removed. The name of this temple located in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh is Sri YangatiUmamaheswara Temple. It isbeing said about this unique temple that due to the increasing size of Nandi,some pillars lying on the way had to be removed. Here many pillars around Nandihad to be removed one by one. It was built by King HariharaBukka Raya of the Sangam dynasty of the Vijayanagar Empire in the 15th century. This temple is located 308 kmfrom Hyderabad and 359 km from Vijayawada. Which reflects the traditions of thePallava, Chola, Chalukya and Vijayanagar rulers of ancient times. The local people tell a story about this place that when sage Agastya was doingpenance the crows were troubling him. The enraged sage cursed that he wouldnever be able to come here again. Since the crow is considered the vehicle ofShani Dev, therefore Shani Dev does not even reside here. Shiva-Parvati is seated here in the form of Ardhanarishwar, and this idolis carved out of a single stone. Another special thing aboutthis temple is that there is always water flowing from the holy spring namedPushkaranini. No one knows fromwhere the water comes in this Pushkaranini for 12 months of the year. Devoteesbelieve that taking a bath in this holy water before entering the temple washesaway all sins.

Be careful with your words. You never know how many times it keepsrepeating in someone's mind. …All relatives do not think of your Goodwill. People look so different once you do not care about them anymore. You noticehow “ordinary” they are. How you are treated is more important than how much you like someone. The biggest communication problem is that we do not listen to understand.We listen to reply and react. Always leave people better than you found them. No one thinks good for you except your parents. I repeat, no one! Very few friends are happy with your success. Most of your buffs leaveyou. “No forever!” Most of the present relationships have no future. They are made to breakup one day. Everyone has feelings which are hard to hide but difficult to express. We are getting addicted to the internet day by day! It is very manipulative that our angry side is always seen as our “truecolours,” as if when we are happy and being kind, we are being fake. Marriages are not always happy.
