CULTURALQA 07-2023-02 Q1 Who wrote the epic Mahabharata andwhat were the conditions for writing it?
A1 Surendra Kumar Kumawat,10h The epicMahabharata was written by sage Vedvyas ji and Ganesha Ji. Ved Vyasa broughtthe great epic Mahabharata. After conceiving the idea, he started thinking ofways in which he could bring this story to the world. ***It was Lord Brahma who asked Vyasa tomake Lord Ganesha his scribe. Since LordGanesha is great in writing, remembering and understanding. Who can be betterthan Vighnaharta, the Lord of wisdom who helps us overcome all obstacles inlife, to perform a task of such epic proportions. Vyas Muni reachedLord Ganesha with this request. Vyasa put a condition that he would not stopwriting the text of Mahabharata and Lord Ganesha should not stop while writingit and the second condition was that Lord Ganesha would not only have to writeit but also understand the verses that were being recited. When Lord Ganeshaagreed to these conditions, Vyasa Muni started reciting the Mahabharata. ***It is said that it took three consecutive years for both Vyasa Muni andLord Ganesha to complete the Mahabharata. When Lord Ganesha was writing the Mahabharata ***with a feather, it broke. To live up to thecondition put forward by Vyasa, Lord Ganesha broke his tusk and started writingwith it so that he could write continuously without interruption.With full dedication towards work. My note- I have added this QA for three information I havemarked with *** marks. Q2 What is the story of a GeniusBlacksmith? A2 Kaushal, 6h A carpenter went to workin a village, but forgot to take his hammer with him. He went to the villageblacksmith and said, 'Make me a nice hammer.I left my hammer at home.' The blacksmith said, ' I will make it but you will haveto wait for two days. I need a good ironfor the hammer. Will get it tomorrow.' In two days the blacksmith made a hammer and gave it to thecarpenter. The hammer was really cool. The carpenter felt very comfortableworking with him. One day a contractorapproached the blacksmith on the recommendation of the carpenter. While placing alarge order for hammers, he also said that 'Make better hammers than the onesmade before.' The blacksmith said, 'Can't make better than him. WhenI make something, I do not keep any deficiency in it, no matter who gets itmade. Slowly the fame ofthe blacksmith spread everywhere. One day a bigbusinessman came from the city and said to the blacksmith, ' I will give you one and a half times the price, the condition will bethat in future you will make all the hammers only for me. You will not make ahammer and sell it to others.' The blacksmithrefused and said, ' I am completely satisfied with thisprice. I want to determine the value of my hard work myself. I cannot become amedium of exploitation of someone else for your benefit. The more money yougive me, you will charge twice as much from the poor buyers. The burden of mygreed will fall on the poor, while I want them to benefit from my skills. Icannot accept your offer.' My note- I am reading the story for the first time. A story with a very excellent moral. Q3 How can I know that my BSNL sim isprepaid or postpaid? A3 Durai Sami, Works at Bharat SancharNigam Limited (BSNL)5y You dial *123# andpress call button .If your SIM is aprepaid you will get its plan detail and validity. On the other hand if your SIM is post-paid one then you will get areply that "thisoption is not available for post paid customers”. Thanks. 2NDANSWER- Sandeep Kumar Modi, Bachelor of Technology from National Institute ofTechnology, Calicut (Graduated 2014)5y Just look atyou sim card. It's clearly written “PREPAID” And for POSTPAID sim you willfind it there as well. My note- The owner of the SIM provided in the mobile knows whether he is having a Pre paid/Post Paid connection. Necessity for knowing it, may be in critical situations. Further fromprepaid connections ISD is possible, from post-paid it is permitted rarely.So without going for the above the two procedures told, by justmaking a MISSED CALL to an ISD number, if one gets ring back tone, it can be assumed as Prepaid.

Q5 Which peoples or human civilizationscan be considered the most exotic? A5 RI Shohag,18h The Korowai people. The Korowai peoplelive in south easternPapua on the island of New Guinea, the second largest island in theworld. They were only discovered in 1974. They have twocurious habits: living in trees and eating human flesh. Until 1974, theKorowai were unaware of the existence of any other people on Earth otherthan... well, themselves. Generally, tribe members have a life expectancy below 50years of age. Living with almostno scientific knowledge, the Korowai believe that mysterious deaths areattributed to "Khakhua"- demons who assume human form. It is said that"Khakhuas" disguise themselves as friends or family in an attempt togain the tribe's trust, only so that they can kill them later. It is Korowaitradition to perform cannibal rituals on anyone believed to be a"Khakua" , in order to protect the rest of the tribe's members. Strangely, thishammock seems to me to be quite comfortable. Q6 Was the Mahabharata real or just astory? A6 Manoj Maran, Jun 11 The Mahabharata isreal and it is our history. There is much real-life evidence to support thisclaim. The color of the soil in Kurukshetra is still red,which is mentioned in the epic as being due to the blood of millions ofsoldiers who died in the war. Traces of nuclear energy have been found at thesite of the war, which was not present in any other country at that time. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who developed theatomic bomb, was inspired by the Bhagavad Gita.He quoted the Gita when he said, "I am become Death, the destroyer ofworlds." Reading aboutthe destructive weapons used in the Mahabharata led Oppenheimer to believe thatit was possible to create such weapons, and he was successful in developing theatomic bomb. Evidence of vitrification has also been found, whichis what happens when a stone is melted by extreme heat and then cooled, causingit to become glass-like. Scientists havediscovered the ancient city of Dwarka, which matches the description of thecity Many people believethat Ashvathama, a Kaurava warrior, is still alive and has been seen nearAsirgarh Fort. He is also said to have helped a Brahman in the south to writethe Mahabharata, and there is another theory that he taught Prithviraj Chauhanthe art of shooting arrows without making a sound. Places mentioned in the Mahabharata, such as Gandhar, Chedi, Hastinapur,Indraprastha, Dwarka, Magadha, Mathura, Gokul, Vrindavan, and Yemen, stillexist and have other physical evidence to support the epic's account of them.

Other wise when E B supply fails, both Land line and internet will fail. The modem does notdevelop heat. Just more warm and 24 hours it can be switched ON.
