A1 Dr Arsha M Dev, Studied Bachelor ofMedicine and Bachelor of Surgery Degrees Sep 24 There was a girl who loved Lord Krishnavery much from her very young age.She had to face a lotof hardships to reach her dream of becoming a Doctor. Yet she believed in Krishna so much. When her graduation was just a few monthsaway, a terrible back ache occurred. The pain was not subsiding and it progressed to foot drop( inability to use left foot. This made her walking difficult. The MRI scanrevealed that she was having a severe disc prolapse affecting her nerves to thefoot which may make her crippled for life. The emergency measure was a surgery. The surgery could save herfrom complete paralysis of the left leg ,but the already occurred neurological damage to the foot was not correctable. The girl was shattered. There was no one to guide her. She herself was a Doctor, so shevery well knew the consequences if surgery was not done. She was given a choice- either to proceed with surgery or leave everything to conservative treatment( medicines alone) which in her case had negligible chances of success. Her faith in Krishnawas strong - she knew everything occurred for a reason. The surgery was alittle risky one.She planned to proceed with the conservative treatment,believing in Krishna. Thesenior Doctor who suggested her the treatment was also a devotee, his confidence was admirable. Threemonths passed, the pain subsided. Her walking slowly came to the originalshape - her foot drop resolvedcompletely! Allthese days, she and her loved ones offered prayers along with treatment. Now she is not just walking, shedances, she runs, she workouts and what else? The girl is now an MBBS,MDgraduate from a reputed Govt.Medical College. People may call this as a MedicalMiracle but honestly speaking it was Krishna who acted through the medicine. Eversince then, she tells this story wherever she go. She wants others to know that Krishna is always theretaking care of us.And that girl is me.Radhe Radhe My note- There is aMalayalam serial Shyamambaram in Zee Keralam where the heroine isa devotee of Lord Krishna and carry idol of Lord Krishna/ worship for allhappening and solving positively.

A3 Patrick S, History buff17h Napoleon Bonaparte was not executedimmediately after his defeat because there were several factors andconsiderations at play, rather than just a matter of respect. After his defeat at the Battle ofWaterloo in 1815, Napoleon surrendered to the British forces. He was subsequently exiled to the remote island of Saint Helenain the South Atlantic Ocean. His exile was intended to isolate him from anyfurther political influence or military actions. The major European powers at the time,including Britain,Russia, Prussia, and Austria, had a vested interest in maintaining stability inEurope after years of war and upheaval during the Napoleonic Wars. They wanted to avoid turning Napoleoninto a martyr or provokingfurther unrest in France by executing him. Instead, they chose to exile him asa means of ensuring his removal from the European political scene. Some argued that Napoleon should beput on trial to justify his punishment.This led to discussions about the proper legal process and jurisdiction forsuch a trial. Ultimately, no consensus was reached on how to conduct a fairtrial, and the idea was abandoned. Overtime, the political situation in Europe evolved. The leaders who had initiallydecided on Napoleon's exile faced their own domestic and internationalchallenges, and the focusshifted away from Napoleon himself. In this context, executing him became lessof a priority. Q4 Why didn’t the alien spirits of Shivaand Vishnu save Hindus from the British and Mughal invasion? A4 Lakshminandan NarayanPutra, Studied atClass 12th in India5h Because it isn't even a that bigproblem that they will have to appear to solve it. Humans invading each other is a normalthing in this material world. Even in Puranas , Ramayana , Mahabharata , etc we find many stories ofkings invading each other's country . It isn't a big problem. Now tell me which incarnationof Vishnu was taken to kill a human? Lets take example of the ten main avatarsof Vishnu Matsya— to save Earth from universal flood Kurma— To carry Mandara Varaha— to save Earth from the demon Hiranyaksha Narasimha— to save everyone from the demon Hiranyakashipu Vamana— to arrest the demon king Bali Parashuram— To free Earth from atrocious Kshatriyas Ram— To kill the demon King Ravana and his Rakshasa army Krishna— To free Earth from its burden of overpopulation Buddha— To stop animal sacrifices Kalki— to begin Satyayuga by killing all Adharmis and the demon Kalipurusha No ordinary human could do all this soVishnu incarnates to help humans . Similarly Shiva never killed any ordinaryhuman he foughtdemons like Tripurasura , Jalandhara , Shankhachura, etc . Humansinvading each other is my a big threat. Even in ancient times kings kept on invading each other'skingdom hence there is no need to incarnate for such a small purpose. Q5 What are some ways to show respect toyour aging parents? A5 Sandeep Singh,Truth & Dare4h Ason took his elderly father to a nice restaurant for dinner.While eating, the old fatherspilled food on his clothes several times. Otherpeople eating in the restaurant were looking at the old man with hatred but hisson was calm. After eating, the son took the old man tothe washroom without any shame.Cleaned his clothes, cleaned his face, combedhis hair, put on glasses, and then brought him outside. Everyone was looking at him silently. Thenhe paid the bill and went out with the old man. Then another old man who was havingdinner called out to him and asked - Don't you think that you are leavingsomething behind here? He replied – No sir, I am not leavinganything. The old man said - Son, youare leaving here a lesson, a lesson for every son and hope for every father. Generally we do not like to take ourelderly parents out with us.Andthey say - What will you do, you can't walk, you can't even eat properly, itwould be better if you stay at home. But have you forgotten thatwhen you were little, your parents used to carry you in their lap. When you were not able to eatproperly, your mother would feed you with her own hands, and if the foodspilled, she would show love rather than scolding. Thenwhy do the same parents start becoming a burden in their old age? Parents are the form of God. Serve themand love thembecause one day you too will grow old.#Always respect your parents.

Q6 In classical physics, can anycorrelation be made between a black hole and the eye of a hurricane? A6 Silk Road,AI Expert18h Intriguingquestion Brian. Both black holes and hurricaneeyes have something called an event horizon, which is the boundary beyond whichyou can't see or get out of. For a black hole, the event horizonis the point of no return for anything that falls in. For a hurricane, the event horizon isthe edge of the eye wall, where the strongest winds and rain are. Another similarity is that both black holesand hurricane eyes are surrounded by swirling disks of matter. For a black hole, this disk is called anaccretion disk andit's made of gas and dust that gets heated up and emits radiation as it spiralsin. For a hurricane, this disk is called theeye wall and it'smade of clouds and rain that get whipped up by the low pressure and theCoriolis force. Thereare also some big differences between black holes and hurricane eyes. Black holes are much hotter thanhurricane eyes. Thetemperature at the center of a black hole can reach millions or even billionsof degrees Celsius. The temperature at the center of a hurricaneeye is only slightly warmer than the surrounding air. Another difference is that some black holeseyes are much smaller than hurricane eyes. The size of a black hole depends on itsmass, but it canbe as small as a few kilometers across. The size of a hurricane eye depends on itsintensity, but itcan be as large as hundreds of kilometers across. My note- Very informative answer. Q7 Why do our teeth stop growing and ournails don't? A7 Ken Saladin, Former professor ofhistology (microscopic anatomy)19h One reason is that theteeth are covered with enamel, which is a hardened secretion, not a tissue. Enamel contains no cells and cannot grow or repair itself. Thesecond reason is that the cells that produce the enamel and grow the tooth alldie before the tooth erupts fromthe gum surface, so as of the time it erupts (or somewhat before), it can never get anylarger. Nails have a growth zone called the nailmatrix just under the skin at the base of the nail, composed of living,dividing cells that producenew nail material throughout life and push the older nail plate toward the tip,where we trim it off. The nailmatrix is similar to the hair matrix that makes hairs grow continually.
