A2 Anonymous,5y My best friends 5 year old son stayed with me for aweek (my friend and her husband went on holiday). I was pregnant at that time. One evening after bringing him back home from thepark, i was panting walking home. As soon as he got home, he disappeared intothe bathroom. I could hear running water, but didn’t think much ofit. I thought he was washing his hands (and he takes long). While he was doing his thing, I went to the kitchento warm up dinner, I saw him pull a chair to the bathroom. Obviously thiswasn’t normal. I followed him to the bathroom, but he asked me not to come infor two minutes. When he finally opened the door, he’s filled thebathtub with hot water, added soap for bubbles, cologne for smell (he probablydidn’t realize that soap had smell too). And he’d kept the chair just outside the bath tub so I couldsit and soak my feet in hot water. He said that’s what dad did when his mum wasexpecting his sibling. Ittakes away all the pain he said! Obviously the sweetest thing a child has done Q3 are some mind-blowing facts that soundunreal but are actually true?

The world'squietest room is so silent you can hear your own heartbeat: This anechoic chamber absorbs99.9999% of the sound, creating an unsettlingly silent experience. The Earth'srotation is slowly slowing down: Each century, it adds about 1.7 milliseconds to the day. Whileimperceptible now, it affects things like the length of our days millions ofyears in the future. The loudestanimal on Earth is the blue whale: Its call can reach 188 decibels, which is louder than a jetengine takeoff and can be heard thousands of kilometers away underwater. There's a townin France where cats are legally considered people: Souillac in southern France passed alaw in 2011 granting cats "legal personhood," offering them certainlegal protections. Humans shareover 98% of their DNA sequence with chimpanzees: our closest living relatives. This highsimilarity reflects our shared evolutionary history.

A4 RajeshKumar,Plastics Engineer at Vietnam (2016–present)2h There is this town called Kuppam in the state of Andra-Pradesh insouth India. We can notice this place is bordering 3 states namely Tamil Nadu (Language -Tamil), Karnataka (Language - Kannada), Andra Pradesh (Language - Telugu). Most of theseguys can speak 3 south Indian languages fluently (Additionally English/Hindi bystudents/youngsters/blue/White collar job guys). Added to this some speaktribal languages like Sugali, Yanadi, Vagri boli(Shikari), Kuruba too. And not toforget the diversified cuisines (3 states food) we can find to eat in this town. Mind Blowing ! My note- Chennaito Bangalore trains pass through Kuppam. All express and passenger trains except Satabdiand Vandebharat stop here. Railway station is dry. Kuppam is famous for paddycultivation. Q5 What was themost embarrassing moment in front of your newly married spouse? A5 TinyNair, Cardiologist at PRS Hospital, Trivandrum Updated 6y Ours was an arranged marriage and I had little chanceto get familiar to my newly married wife, except some short phone calls and acursory meeting, with our parents standing 10 feet away. After the wedding, I planned for a honeymoon atBangalore. I booked a furnished apartment at Bangalore. We took a cab andreached the furnished service apartment. We had a nice dinner in a restaurantclose by. At night as wewere preparing to go to bed I noted something at the far end of my visualfield. Something I dreaded all my life. I almost called out - mom, mom come, help. Get rid of that spider!!!. Bythen my wife followed my line of vision and jumped out of bed and ran to thesitting room. Quickly weunderstood that we are a perfect match and she too was dead scared of spiders. Both of us agreed that thebest option was to lock the bedroom door and sleep in the sitting room (sinceit was out of question calling our moms for help). We slept on the sofa of thesitting room. Most importantly we understood both of ourweaknesses. There was no further need to hide anything, no more embarrassments. Today, 25 years later, I still think that's the mostimportant cement in any marriage - confidence in sharing weaknesses. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
