A1 Surendra Kumar Kumawat, May 8 Clapping can be dangerous in the temple of lord Shivaapart from aarti..... In Hinduism,clapping (Kartal sound) is considered a natural action during Aarti itself.According to the belief of Sanatan Dharma, it is a suitable method to generateKartal sound only in the middle of Aarti. There is a belief of not clapping inthe temple at other times except Aarti. It is said that clapping at certain times in LordShiva's temple can be dangerous. According to belief, Lord Shiva remainsengrossed in meditation. In such a situation, some people go to the temple andclap three times near their Shivling, which is inappropriate. It is believed thatclapping near the Shivling in this way is considered as an insult and adistraction and this enrages the Gana. There is a lot ofpower in Sankirtan (clapping by raising hands during kirtan). Even the lines onour hands change by chanting. According to the theoryof acupressure, there are pressure points of the whole body parts and organs inthe hands of a human being, on pressing which the flow of blood and oxygenstarts reaching the concerned part and gradually that disease starts gettingcured. Clapping putspressure on all the points.

Q10 Whatis your review on BSNL FTTH service? How good or bad is it compared to other fibreoptic-based internet service from other internet service providers like AirtelV-Fibre? A10 Deeshabh Sharma, B.Tech in InformationTechnology, University College of Engineering, Kota2y I’m not here todefame or promote any service, its just hard-core honest usage review. I got my BSNL FTTHinstalled just two days prior to first CoViD 19 lockdown/voluntary curfew i.e.March 22nd, due to immediate need for high-speed internet need(work from homeconditions). Theinstallation was totally on my pocket and turned out costlier(around Rs 6000)than other fibre net providers. I’m having Rs 1200 plan. For around onemonth the speed was like With few minorissues such as router hang-up(which usually needs to be restarted for speed toget back to normal), the third-party vendor service was and is always accurateand fast regarding any issue this all went around for a month. But due to global internet phenomena and pandemic affectsmy speed was also getting affected. This resulted inconference call drops, variable speed, speed dropping from >50mbps to<1mbps often. Sometimes we have to switch to cell phone hotspot on 4G forwork calls. Other fibre net services were also getting affected for a day ortwo as I was told by some known users. I was getting tiredof it so decided to take it up to authorities and was told that it’s not the BSNL issue which isaffecting speed but the international speed issues were the reason to blame.Till the date the problem hasn't been resolved, I'm facing same issues.Meanwhile, Jio Fibre has been digging for their fibre network and I’m beingtold by a user cum friend that its speed, network and services are so far bestfor my area so I might begiving up BSNL for a while. I'm not saying thatBSNL isn't worth it but from my experience, it has proved not that effectivewhen it comes to Issues Resolving. I might not have given up on it in normaldays, but when I needed it most, it wasn't proved worthy. Apologies for such big answer but I just wanted to share myexperience in detail so it will help others in choosing wisely. So far private players are turning out to be excellent, andas a concerned citizen I want the government to improve and provide betterinfrastructure and services regarding high-speed Internetand work on lame excuses and their officials too otherwise they will keep onlosing customers very shortly. My note- It can be problem with laptop also.Two days back I installed SSD in my laptop and performanceand internet speed are excellent. I was charged Rs 3500-00 for modem andconnection, and monthly bill increase by about 300-00 every month to coverfibre cost (after some concession for departmental staff) SSD and OS cost was around 3800-00.
