CULTURAL QA 04202416
Q1 What advice would you give to a 1st year MBBS student?
KR No one needs to advise anyone unless it is mutual; one shall
bend ask and so the other becomes a guru to advise. Where in the modern
world all generations feel that the bad is reverend and the good is a
rambling, even a speech is anathema. And medics are not angels; because
when you are in pain some doc cured you, you so believe, you think he is
greater; but the woman of the house shouldered the pain, caressed the child
in fear and encouraged the husband in distress, but no one is willing to
consider that “woman as a doctor”. In every yuga doctors were there and
only the king was worshipped; there were dancers and dramas but no Padma
Bhushan and Bharatha Ratna were awarded for them. Because it is his
profession as a servant daily his chore. Because a few incidents make the
hairs stand upright in some tasks, it becomes news; a chaprassy doing his
best goes dead; so the king was worshipped apart from God worship. And
Manipal we have to thank The Pai Foundation; but 90% of the students are
very rich, doctors’ children and paying for education and purchasing
degrees; why do they need advice?
Q2 Do Brahmins still hold a belief in their superiority over
others, or have they embraced equality as stated in our constitution?
KR When Subramanyam uses the word “belief” the Question of
superiority has become defunct; that is why I used to say that we fail by
ourselves. Time immemorial, there were competitions for superiority, in
many fields and if all were made a tight category, there are only 3
categories for which awards were being climbed in different parts of the
nations in the past million years or maybe even more. 1 education 2 Valour
and 3 wealth. All will fit into these. Hence Sarswati, Parvathy and
Mahalakshmi Shaktis. Greatness lies in all in all eras; in this Brahmins
fall as from face aligned to brain, under the learning and teaching
concerning Saraswati; Brahma created only Saraswati first; Rig vedam extols
Saraswati as a river and in so many faculties. Because education keeps one
with the knowledge to solve any problem of living, appended with diplomacy,
that was given the priority; also, all the three nature has to be earned by
hard work only. Hence anyone far exceeding were venerated. (not like rev
etc foolishly thought so) There Brahmin was considered as one who had to
learn and teach and advise and balance the welfare of the society so was
venerated; but within 500 years people like jihadi brahmins triggered in,
who without any learning or teaching, or even without any thought process,
fiend as if a learned; and started self-boasting as the greatest as if md
Ali was doing. That shook others, not because of haughtiness; but because
of the reason that when well mannered were aplenty, such grass punches
dances were intolerable. Such stuff brought disrepute to good brahmins. As
a matter of fact, a great warrior whom the world was frightened about, fell
at the feet of the Vasishta, Viswamitra and the Buddha bhikshu as reverence
was recognised on merits. As far as the other side is concerned, till date
has anyone remembered the name SADAYAPPA VALLAL of therizhandur, thAn
KAMBAN? Richest man was wealthy but made Kamban known all over the earth
but no one knows that wealth. Hence the tamil MOODURAI of Ouvayar verse
said: MANNANUM MASU ARAK KATRONUM, SEER THOOKKIN, MANNANIN, KATRON
SIRAPPUDAYAN; (WHEN WE COMPARE BETWEEN A KING AND THE EDUCATED, EDUCATED
WEIGH BETTER THAN THE KING BECAUSE; ) MANNARKKU TAN DEYAMILLAL SIRAPPILLAI;
(THERE IS NO GREATNESS FIR THE KING OTHER THAN HIS NATION) ; KATRORKKU
SENDRA IDAMELLAM SIRAPPU (THE LEARNED IS EXTOLLED WHEREVER HE GOES).
Thus because of the education is made a class and Brahmin a tribe
happen to be placed at that position, Brahmin was considered high; not
because he is a brahmin; Brahmin meant as an identity of education; but
Jihadis like slowly wanted to usurp that power from the really learnt;
thereafter EVR and Ambedkar’s rose with a sword. Mistake was not on
brahmins who were great but because of a few WHO PRETENDED TO BE BRAINY.
However, the good cultured were affected by such fools in the tribe and
were suppressed; but their brain saved them to seek profession elsewhere;
even today Brahmin in good stead are respected; but not the Jihadis. Hence
the following para written by C and P is deferred for the reason that:
(Brahmins’ unique distinction is - that they are simply irreplaceable
people. There is no alternative to them. If fighters go away, another group
of fighters will arrive on the scene. If a business community dies, another
such community will appear very soon. However, if the Brahmin community
goes extinct, there will be no other community daring to don their mantle
on a full scale.) Brahmin is a earned; even if the so called shudra is so
well learned he is only a brahmin; so on the earth there will lways the
existence of good brahmins but may or may not be as a tribe as was once
addressed. So it is a senseless write up to say there will be no brahmin if
jihadis are put down; or if all brahmins tribe is put down; there was no
brahmin before yagnas came; so also brahmins will exist by yagnas; but the
varna will exist out of the many castes which will get destroyed. KR IRS

NB: This is a special trigger issue to cause rift among the tribes
especially by the compiler who is well known to trigger.
Q4 Why can't we transplant other animals’ eyes into humans
and gain the benefits of their eyes?
KR Silly question; such operations were done before; Goat eyes were
fixed.
Q5 What animal or object was surprisingly bigger/smaller
than you thought?
KR What kind of Q and A is this? Just for this one animal so
big an article which is too small? ” The largest and most well-researched
species is Pachycrocuta brevirostris, colloquially known as the giant
short-faced hyena as it stood about 90–100 cm (35–39 in) at the shoulder
and it is estimated to have averaged 110 kg (240 lb) in weight, approaching
the size of a lioness, making it the largest known hyena. Hyena weighs
more. More than a pit bull dog. But why hyena runs off and always in groups
to attack, because of fear and by weight cannot run faster. Similarly, a
walrus is so weighty that it cannot move so easily and so why can't a bear
strong enough to move cannot kill them? The tallest are different animals
and these 2 are only an appearance as pretenders of know-how in groups.

*CULTURAL QA 04-2024-16*
*All the BELOW QA are from Quora digest to me on 16-04-2024.*
* Quora answers need not be 100% correct answers *
*.Compiled* *and posted by R. Gopala krishnan, on 16-04-2024*
*Q1 What advice would you give to a 1st year MBBS student?*
*A1 Varun Singla,Medical Student at Pt. B.D. Sharma PGIMS
Rohtak (2020–present)Nov 20*
*Congratulations on your admission to the MBBS program! Your dedication and
hard work have led you to this significant achievement*
*First-year MBBS students often face challenges such as adjusting to the
rigorous academic load, adapting to a new learning environment, and
managing time effectively. Anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry courses
can be particularly demanding. Additionally, students may find it
challenging to strike a balance between studies and self-care.*
*1- self care - this is the most impressive thing for a freshie in a med
school.*
*Medical cld is a entirely new environment with new syllabus mew and
difficult terms and many more things*
*Firstly try to adjust yourself in that environment.*
*Make new friends, try to understand the terms , clg environment.*
*This is the most important thing you should do after entering into med
school.*
*Now there are three new subjects in your first year.*
*A) anatomy - having entirely new syllabus,new terms that you haven't
studied yet in your high school.*
*This is the difficult subject for most of the students*
*For covering this you should prefer some online platforms like*
**Manipal medace* having experts like Dr. Tejaswi .*
*His lectures of anatomy are filled with immense knowledge and conceptual
clearity that is going to be very helpful for you ..*
*Physiology - this subject have some similarities with our earlier subjects
of high school but as this is a med school there are more details then we
studied yet .*
*Some topics are like that you need conceptual clarity otherwise you will
not be able to overcome that topic nor the subject.*
*I personally prefer you lectures of dr.abirami (Manipal medace)*
*Her lectures are absolutely amazing leaving no concepts behind and
complete syllabus coverage.*
*Biochemistry - again this subject also has similarity but learning cycles
and intermediates and enzymes as well in this subject are quite hectic*
*Dr. Meenakshi (Manipal medace) lectures are very beneficial for this
subjects*
*These are the three basic subjects of med school which are foundation of
entire MBBS.*
*I personally preferred manipal medace for all the three subjects.*
*1-Manipal medace live dissection videos for anatomy offers close to real
human body exploration enhancing surgical knowledge and skills*
*2- 3D interactive modules are provided by manipal medace ,helps in more
comprehensive study of human body*
*3- live tutorial of all chapters and live doubt session after test series
where you can connect directly with experts and clear all your doubts*
*Focus on building a strong foundation in yiur basic medical science with
the help of manipal medace*
*Profile photo for Subrahmanyam Marripudi*
*Q2 Do Brahmins still hold a belief in their superiority over
others, or have they embraced equality as stated in our constitution?*
*A2 Subrahmanyam Marripudi, Telugu Brahmin Vegetarian Lacto-2h*
*A Brahmin here.*
*Brahmins are a 4,000-year-old caste. Our Constitution was written and came
into force just 73 years ago. This Constitution became applicable to our
country only after it received the royal signature and the official stamp
of a Brahmin.*
*The word ‘equality’ was used in the Constitution only a few times. But
otherwise it is full of the sections and articles which ask us to apply
different standards for different people in the country.*
*Brahmins are not superior to anyone. They never felt like that because
they always knew the fact that certain other castes fare far better than
themselves in physical strength, hard work, bravery and earning capacity
and worldly wisdom/ street-smartness. However, they don’t envy anyone
because they are fully aware that they were prepared by God for a very
different mission and that they are not supposed to imitate the mission
assigned to other castes.*
*True, the Brahmin caste was not born great, but became one of the great
communities of the world by dint of their hard work in the course of
several millennia. They had very humble origins and always lived very
simple. They are conscious of this background pretty well.*
*Brahmins were originally not a profession-based caste but a forest tribe,
the men and women of which used to do tapasya, yajnas and homas in the
loneliness of woods,** leading very simple, minimalistic autonomous lives
in their mud huts, wearing animal skins/ flaxen garments and subsisting on
roots and fruits only. They used to read and write saastras and kaavyas
there, teaching the same to their children and disciples.*
*That’s why a very ancient body of India’s literature is called Aaranyakas
(forest books) or the books written in aranyas (forests).*
*While in the forest, they also used to do research on the subjects like
grammar, music, dance, Ayurveda, astrology etc. That’s why even now,
Brahmin male kids wear deer skin (or at least a tiny piece of it) in the
upanayanam ceremony, as a faint reminder of their remote roots, their
original forest life, their tribal way of life once upon a time. Reverence
for cowdung, choice of fruits for fasting and the preference for the use of
wooden articles - these things are the other still-surviving remnants of
the tribal culture of the forest Brahmins of the ancient.*
*They reluctantly stepped in cities, towns and villages when the kings of
India requested them to arrive and take residence there - for the sake of
being easily available to themselves and for teaching and enlightening the
masses. To attract the Brahmin immigration, the kings offered them a wide
range of sops like liberal donations of land, houses, jobs, and gold. This
internal immigration process had not happened in a day, but over several
centuries.*
*Brahmins had finally abandoned their forest abodes and settled in the
towns and villages**. But they could never fully integrate in the civilised
society full of non-Brahmins. They deeply hated many things which are
deemed to be commonplace in the civilized world. They were unable to digest
its multifarious and multiple vices and adjust with them. They looked for
the ways and means to insulate themselves and avoid the impurities of the
urban life and remain as untainted as they were while in the woods. Thus
was born the idea to construct agrahaarams, the colonies exclusively for
the Brahmin dwelling. The kings graciously acquiesced to the proposal and
donated the requisite land and material for the purpose.*
*Even now, most Brahmins are unable to digest and approve of the trends of
the civilized world.*
*As ancient Brahmins maintained such distance, the rest of the society
understood it as their superiority complex. The reality is - urban life is
incompatible with the ideal Brahmin life. Yet, if most Brahmins today are
urbanites, it is because there is no other go and also because they
compromise on a few Brahmin things to fit in that life.*
*Every community has its own merits and demerits. Similarly Brahmins have
them too.*
*Brahmin boys and girls are generally raised in a God-fearing and
sin-hating atmosphere.*
*They are taught the subtleties and values of the purity of mind and body.*
*Brahmins usually love education for education’s sake and subjects for
subjects’ sake, but not with an eye on money. They are taught to value
education and knowledge above everything else.*
*They are more patient and tolerant ones.*
*As a result, they are more thinking, more reasonable and logical.They
excercise utmost restraint and get highly choosy with words, while
disagreeing with others. They don’t stray away from the original topics and
resort to personal abuses.*
*They are non-violent. So they will just silently avoid you if they hate
you. They don’t harbour long-term grudges and lie in the waiting for
catching an opportunity to bite you back. They are quick to forgive and
forget any negative thing.*
*Therefore, a large number of them are vegetarians who avoid visiting the
houses and celebrations of non-vegetarians for fear of eating off the
plates/ vessels used for non-veg food. This abstention has given rise to a
propaganda that they feel superior and hate and despise othee castes.*
*Brahmins are not interested in making money. That’s the basic reason why
there are not the likes of Ambanis and Adanis in this caste, in spite of
being the most educated group with several in the highest posts from it.*
*By temperament, Brahmins are a caste of philosophers and deep thinkers
wishing to be left alone, preferring loneliness over gregariousness. This
thing has also given rise to the propaganda about their superiority
complex.*
*Brahmins’ unique distinction is - that they are simply irreplaceable
people. There is no alternative to them. If fighters go away, another group
of fighters will arrive on the scene. If a business commuity dies, another
such community will appear very soon. However, if the Brahmin community
goes extinct, there will be no other community daring to don their mantle
on a full scale.*
*Q3 Give me a joke?*
*A3 Mary Krupka, Mar 23*
*Here’s a Jewish mama joke.*
*A Jewish mother picks up the phone to hear the sound of a woman gulping
sobs. Her daughter! “Darling! What’s the matter?*
*Woman:” Oh,Mama! Oh,Mama!”*
* “Yes darling. Mama is here. What’s wrong?”*
* “We’re snowed in. The car won’t start. The refrigerator stopped working
and all the food is spoiled. The kids have colds and the house is a mess. I
have a headache. And twenty ladies from my Hadassah chapter are coming for
lunch at one o’clock! Oh,Mama” she wails “What am I going to do?”*
*In a calm soothing voice Mama replies “Don’t worry darling, Mama is here.
First I’ll go down to the grocery and pick up something to eat. Then I’ll
take the subway. And from the subway I’ll walk the sixteen blocks to your
house. I’ll cook something for the twenty ladies, they’ll love it. I’ll
give the kids an aspirin so they’ll be quiet. I’ll tell them a story till
they fall asleep so you can lie down too. While the food cooks I'll pick up
the house. Everything will be all right. Don’t worry darling,Mama is here!
That’s what a mother is for!”*
*The woman gives a huge sigh of relief. “Oh,Mama thank you! I feel so much
better.”*
* “Don’t mention it, darling” Then, in an everyday voice “If you’re snowed
in and the car won’t start how did Sam get to work?”*
* (Puzzled voice) “Sam? Who’s Sam?”*
* (Mama impatiently) “Sam! Your husband Sam! How did he get to work?”*
*Long pregnant pause. Then in a small voice the woman says “My husband's
name is Saul”*
*Another pregnant pause . Then in a trembling voice the woman says:*
* “Does that mean…you’re… not coming?”*
*Q4 Why can't we transplant other animals’ eyes into humans
and gain the benefits of their eyes?*
*A4 Ken Saladin,Former professor of histology (microscopic
anatomy)Mar 15*
*We can’t even transplant a human eye into another person and restore
vision.** It’s not yet possible to establish the necessary nerve
connections to the brain to make it functional, and the recipient’s immune
system would set out to destroy it anyway. That would necessitate a
lifelong regimen of immunosuppressant drugs, which cost a lot of money and
reduce the quality of life in other ways.*
*If we ignore those “minor technicalities,” though, and assume some other
animal’s eyes were transplanted into a human, the human brain wouldn’t know
how to interpret the incoming signals from them. The result would not be a
useful image.*
*You should bear in mind, also, that other animals’ eyes are not
necessarily better than ours. You may think a hawk or eagle has better eyes
than humans because it can see a mouse or rabbit from a great distance.
However, their vision is worse than ours in other respects such as
peripheral vision. You might envy some animals their night vision, but what
enables them to see better than us in dim light also makes their vision in
daylight much worse than ours. If you had the features that are responsible
for the vision of an eagle or a cat, you wouldn’t be able to read a book or
drive a car anymore. Personally, I won’t consider such a cost worth it just
to be able to see better at night or see a rabbit a mile away.*
*In short, even if your hypothetical transplant experiment were a success,
you’d probably lose qualities of human vision that we value without
thinking much about them.*
*I’ve studied animal eyes for a long time through courses, advanced
seminars, personal lab research, and teaching—so I’ve paid more attention
to the diversity of animal eyes and vision than I have to most other areas
of biology—but I can’t think of a single species whose eyes would be
superior to ours at meeting the needs of functional and enjoyable human
existence.*
*Q5 What animal or object was surprisingly bigger/smaller
than you thought?*
*A5 Peter Wade-M.S. in Mathematics from The University of
Tennessee Updated 1y*
*Surprisingly large object*
*When I first visited the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, the height was
staggering to witness in person considering this structure was built almost
5,000 years ago with none of our modern technology. But the base level
alone was much taller than I thought it would be. You can look at
photographs all day long and see layer after layer of stone stacked on top
of each other. But when you actually stand next to the pyramids and see
that the base layer of stones are nearly five feet (1.5 m) in height,
that’s when you truly grasp how shockingly difficult it was to build those
pyramids.*
*Surprisingly large animals*
*Candidate 1 - The hyena*
*First, consider the English Mastiff, the largest breed of dog (pictured
below).*
*These enormous canines average a height of 30 inches (76 cm) at the
shoulders and about 50 inches (127 cm) in length.*
*But the spotted hyena grows up to 36 inches (91 cm) tall and 65 inches
(165 cm) long, far bigger than most would assume. Just compare it to the
English Mastiff below.*
*They seem smaller, perhaps because we often see them juxtaposed with huge
lions and buffalo.*
*Candidate 2 - The walrus*
*The biggest enemies of the walrus are polar bears and killer whales. A
polar bear is huge, a full foot taller than the infamous grizzly bear.*
*A large polar bear can be up to five feet (1.5 m) tall at the shoulders,
and much taller when they stand up.*
*They have massive paws for taking down prey.*
*But then you see the polar bear next to a walrus, a giant animal that can
be up to 12 feet long (3.7 m). It exceeds the length of a polar bear by at
least 25% and can even be double the length of an adult polar bear!*
*It makes you wonder how a polar bear can be bold enough to attack such an
enormous creature (although unsuccessfully), even killing juvenile walruses
that are equal to the polar bear in size.*
