CULTURAL QA 09-2023-10 Q1 What psychological tricks and hacks areuseful to know?
A1 Shivam Rajbhar, World bookeducation17h If someone is trying to make you decide in a hurry, they areprobably giving you a bad deal. Walk away. Sometimes pretending that you are naivegets you more information.Pretendingis helpful many times. Ifyou want to avoid office politics, say good things about co-workers behindtheir backs. Physicalcontact makes you more likely to say yes to a request. If you want to make someone feeluncomfortable, look at their forehead when you're talking to them. Whena group of people laugh, they tend to look at the person they like themost. Nervousnessand excitement have the same body reaction, so if you're nervous for a speech,instead convince yourself you're excited. Its proven to give better speeches,too. Askfor something that seems small, but is related, to what you really want. Then,once they've agreed to the small thing, just work up with slightly largerrequests until you've achieved the desired outcome. *The agreement hack!. Q2 How do I not take life too seriously? A2 Louis Hamilton, Caretaker at Orphansand Orphanages Aug 17 Haveyou ever thought about this? In a hundred years, in 2123, there will be none of us, not even ourrelatives and friends. Strangers will live in our homes that webuilt with a lot of effort and failure.They will have all the stuff we have or throw it in the dumpster. Even the car,for which we spent a fortune, will be lying somewhere in a dump, Ourdescendants will not remember us and only a few will know who we were. Who among us knows theirgreat-grandfather? After death, they will remember us for a few more years, then wewill be just a portrait on someone's bookshelf (if at all). A few years later our photos and actionswill be forgotten. We will not live in the memories of anyone anymore. If you just stopped to thinkabout it one day, you might understand how pointless it is to walk for more andmore. Ifwe thought and understood that we are just a dot in the history of mankind, letalone the earth or the universe, we would certainly look at our lives and otherpeople differently. We always strive for more and moreand no time for what really matters....the moments and the relationships. If we thought about and spent more time HEREAND NOW, we would really enjoy life. Wewould enjoy walks we never had time for. We would love a hug. We would enjoykisses from our children. In the moments that really count, but we ran out oftime. Those would certainly be the most beautiful and best moments to rememberand imprinted deep within ourselves. This is how we would fill our lives withjoy. And now we fill it with greed, intolerance andhate.There is stilltime. Think about it. Q3 What is the most Tamil thing ever?

Q5 In ancient times, kings were sometimesgiven maids or servants along with their queens. What was their actual role? A5 BATMAN,Unofficial Historian10h InIndia and many other parts of the world, it was common for kings and maharajasto have a significant number of servants and maids in their royal households. The primary reason for thepresence of these servants was the need to manage the affairs of the entirekingdom efficiently. Additionally, maids were also appointedfor the upkeep of the palace and its decorations. However, primarily, maids were chosen fortheir beauty and skill in their work. In ancient times, all kings would arrange for theeducation and various arrangements for women in the palace. In this context,maids were appointed to assist all queens and princesses in various ways.Among these skilled maids, the most outstanding ones were sent along with the daughters of kings tosupport them during their marriages. This could be seen as a form of dowrywhere they were given away in marriage as well. Moreover, in thissystem, it was the responsibility of the in-laws to provide for the daughtersof the maids during their marriages. Furthermore, beyond taking care of thebasic needs and upbringing of their own children, they were also responsiblefor arranging marriages for theirsons and daughters at the appropriate time, which was a significantresponsibility in royal families. It's important to note that thepractice of having maids and servants in royal households cannot be equatedwith English slavery, as these maids andservants were responsible for the overall well-being, living arrangements,wedding arrangements, and other complete expenses of the family. However, overtime, exploitation and oppression did become associated with this practice insome instances. In the end, it should be mentioned thatthe primary role of these maids was to provideinformation to the princess about matters related to governance, which woulddetermine whether the son would inherit the throne or not. These maids wereexpected to remain unmarried for life and to serve their queens and their sonsas their ultimate duty. All the above QA are from Quora DIGEST to me on 10-09-2023.
