Q1         Whatis a good salary in Bangalore?

A1          AshishChoudhary, Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India 
(2022–present)8h

My maid’s family income is around 1 lakhand saves 70–80% of this.

Meet, Reshma.She is a Nepali migrant.

Reshma’s Earning: She works in 10flats in the same building.We pay her 3K per 
month. So, INR 30,000

Reshma’s husband is our securityguard:His earnings. Salary: INR 14000

He also works as the cook in 5 households: INR 15000

He helps us fix everything if theiris minor issue: So, easily INR 5000.His 
earning: INR 34000

She has two sons. Both work as theconstruction site labourer. Easily : INR 
15000 per head

Sons’ earning: INR 30,000

Total family income: INR 94000

Expenses:Rent= Zero (Lives in theGuard room)

Tax= Zero  Liability= Zero EMI= Zero

Only expense I think they’ve is onfood.

So, easily her saving is INR 70,000-80000 pm

She has bought land in Nepal. Andlends money there.

So, don’t you think withinsometime her condition will be better than us who 
struggles to even save 20–30K?

My note- Most servants live in smallrented accommodationin Chennai. Salary is 
still more, work is lesser. In Chennai, they don’t cleanbath rooms, dining 
tables, wash basins etc. Most clean vessels and clean andmop floor. Some aged 
employ them to cook food, not as in Bangalore. 

Yearly one month salary as bonus forDeepavali or Pongal and at least once in 
two years increment is must. Comparing to Bangalore, maids arelesser in 
Chennai. Mostly they are given coffee, tiffin etc, but comparing to Bangalore, 
theyare not so sincere.

But their medical expenses are met bythem. As long as they are healthy, they 
can work and save some thing. Job isnot permanent. 

So in general we cannot compare, servant’s life, their savings if any with 
other’searnings and expenses. 

Q2         Whatdid Julius Caesar do that made people hate him?

A2         AlexMann, Historian (2017–present)1y

Caesar became Consul in 60 BC. He wasa busy boy while in power.

He successfully enacted land reformlegislation- a chief goal for reformers. 
Excess land would be purchasedfrom the uber-rich and distributed to the urban 
poor to alleviate overcrowdingand give the poor a chance to join the middle 
class

To pass this land reform bill hebasically broke the law. He skipped the Senate 
entirely and went straight toa “citizen vote” which was required before any law 
could be passed. When theother Consul tried to veto the vote he was attacked by 
a mob. Caesar ignored the veto and passed it into law

Caesar got the reputation of a tyrantand was HATED by the rich elites and 
Senators of Rome. However, the people loved him.

Then Caesar conquers Gaul, invadesBrittania, and invades Germany. He writes 
about his exploits and sends themback to Rome. The populationbecomes enraptured 
by his adventures and he becomes even more popular thanbefore.

Around 50 BC the drama starts.The Senate demanded Caesar relinquish is command 
and return to Rome to facecharges. 

Caesar refuses, knowing that soon hecan run for Consul again and absolve his 
name once in office. Things hit astalemate and Caesar invades Italy with his 
13th Legion. Pompey and the Senate flee Romefor Greece and Caesar takes Rome. 
When in Rome he literally pillages the Romantreasury to pay his soldiers.

Caesargoes on to win the civil war and pardon almost every Senator that opposed 
him. Caesar’s goal was to bring everyoneback together like before- only with 
Caesar as top dog.

Caesarwanted a crown- he wanted to be King (Rex). He would try these 
littlegames to see what he could get away with. Once he had Antony offer him a 
crownpublically to gage the population's reaction. Another time when someone 
calledhim “Rex” Caesar said “no, Caesar”- the joke being it’s easy to confuse 
Caesarfor a King.

Before long the Senate decided Caesar was a tyrant and if he wasn’tstopped, he 
would become king. So they hatched a plan and killed him.

The people of Rome responded to thisnews by pillaging the city, attacking the 
conspirators (and forcing them toflee for the Middle East), and going into mass 
hysteria.

You see the Legions and the peopleLOVED Caesar to death. Caesar had always 
fought for the “average joe” hisentire political career and he had lots of 
success doing so. I mean in his will Caesar left every male Roman citizen 3 
months wagesas a gift.

The people saw all this as rich snobsmurdering their greatest ally. They also 
saw this as insanely immoralconsidering the men that killed Caesar owed their 
entire political careers tohim. It was seen as a betrayalof the highest order 
and a wicked attempt to keep the average Roman in hisplace.

Q3         Whatis the name of the largest known star in the universe?

A3         RishiJha, Product design engineer at TIME Technoplast 
(2017–present)20h

Sure,I can explain it in a simpler way

Imagine the biggest star we know, called UY Scuti. This star is so huge that 
ifwe placed it at the center of our solar system instead of the Sun, its 
outerlayer, called the photosphere, would stretch all the way out to where 
Jupiterorbits. In other words, itwould be even bigger than the Sun and would 
engulf space up to Jupiter's orbit,which is really far from the center of our 
solar system.

But that is not all, there are various factors taken into considerationwhile 
determining the size of a star, and some of them are.

1. Mass: The amount of matter a star contains is a crucialfactor in determining 
its size. Stars with more mass tend to be larger.

2. Age: As stars age, they can change in size. Some starsexpand as they evolve, 
becoming larger as they reach different stages of theirlife cycles.

3. Composition: The elements and gases that make up a staralso play a role. 
Stars with different compositions can have varying sizes.

4. Temperature: The temperature of a star's core can affect its size.Higher 
core temperatures can lead to more intense nuclear reactions, which caneither 
cause a star to expand or contract.

5. Gravity: The gravitational force acting on a star caninfluence its size. 
Stars with stronger gravity tend to be more compact, whileweaker gravity can 
allow a star to expand.

6. Internal Pressure: The balance between thegravitational force pulling a 
star's matter inward and the pressure fromnuclear reactions pushing outward 
determines its size. When these forces are inequilibrium, a star has a stable 
size.

These factors interact incomplex ways, leading to a wide variety of star sizes 
and shapes in theuniverse. Hope it satisfies your curiosity ;)

Q5         WouldEarth be visible from Mars with the naked eye?

A5         DarthVader,Former Sith Lord Sun

Yes,Earth is visible from Mars with the naked eye. Mars and Earth are 
bothplanets in our solar system, and they are relatively close to each 
othercompared to other celestial objects. When the two planets are properly 
aligned in their orbits, you can seeEarth as a bright point of light in the 
Martian sky.

However, the visibility ofEarth from Mars can vary depending on their positions 
in their respectiveorbits. Earth would be most easily visible from Mars when it 
is closest to Marsduring a planetary conjunction, which occurs approximately 
every 26 months. During these periods, Earthwould appear as a "morning star" or 
"evening star" in theMartian sky, similar to how Mars appears as a bright point 
of light inour Earth's night sky when it's visible.

Keep in mind that, while Earthis visible from Mars, it would appear as a bright 
dot and not as adetailed, Earth-like view due to the vast distances involved 
and the limitedresolving power of the naked eye. To see detailed views of Earth 
fromMars, you would need telescopic equipment or spacecraft.

Bus stop at Cunningham road,Bengaluru city worth 10 lakhs goes missing 
overnight.

A bus stand in Bengaluru recentlydisappeared, one week after it was installed.

of theft and thecops are going through CCTV footage from the nearby buildings 
to investigatethe matter.

 “We had constructed this particular busshelter on Cunningham Road. It was a 
stainless-steel structure. The cost of theshelter was Rs 10 lakh.. Reddy

The bus stand had chairs, roofs andpoles and was built at a cost of Rs 10 lakh. 
The miscreantsdid not leave any part of structure behind while stealing the 
facility. The busstand was installed on August 21 and disappeared on August 28.

not progressing in proper manner.Crimes are more, rapes are more, Illegal 
activities are more, culture has gonebelow in many states. This note I have 
made after watching daily news items. Some police staff are hand in hand
