Quora answers need not be 100% correct answers .Compiled and posted by R. Gopalakrishnan, on 15-05-2024 Q1 What are some good jokes about religion? A2 PeterLong, Studied science and maths to degree standard. Worked in IT for 30years.7y A Jewish guy sends his son to Israel to get in touch with hisreligious roots and gain a deeper appreciation of Judaism. A year later the sonreturns and informs his shocked father that he has converted to Christianity. Distraught, the father visits his friend and tells him whathas happened. The friend replies: "Funny you should say that. I sent myson to Israel and he came back a Christian too." The two friends decide to ask their Rabbi about this."Funny you should say that", starts the Rabbi, "The exact samething happened when I sent my son there too. I think we need to ask God what todo about this". So the 3 men go to the temple and pray hard to God, tellinghim what has happened and asking for his divine guidance. Suddenly, from above,a voice booms out "Funny you should say that!". Q2 After the sudden death of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, whydid Nehru issue an order to the Congress Party MPs that no one would attendSardar Vallabhbhai Patel's funeral and why did Nehru hate Sardar VallabhbhaiPatel so much? A2 AnilRoongta, Former Member at Consumer Court Mon This is what Nehru saidwhen he heard about the death of Patel in Mumbai. “We shall remember him as a friend and acolleague and a comrade above all, and I who have sat here on this bench sideby side with him for these several years will feel rather forlorn and a certainemptiness will steal upon me when I look at this empty bench.” Many attempts have been made by vested interests to falselyproject Sardar Patel and Nehru as rivals for power & position. However, historical records testify to theirdeep respect for each other. That’s how Nehru informed the parliament about patel’spassing away, “I have to convey toyou, Sir, and to the House mournful news. A little over an hour ago, at ninethirty-seven this morning, the Deputy Prime Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel,passed away in Bombay city. Three days ago, many of us saw him off at theWillingdon airfield and we hoped that his stay in Bombay would enable him toget back his health which had been so grievously shattered by hard work andcontinuous worry. For a day or two he seemed to improve, but at last early thismorning he had a relapse and the story of his great life ended. It’s a great story, as all of us know, as the whole countryknows, and history will record it in many pages and call him the builder andconsolidator of the new India and will say many things about him. But perhapsto many of us here he will be remembered as a great captain of our forces inthe struggle for freedom and as one who gave us sound advice in times oftroubles as well as in moments of victory, as a friend and colleague on whomone could invariably rely, as a tower of strength which revived wavering heartswhen we were in trouble I can say little more on this occasion. My colleague MrRajagopalachari, and I are going almost immediately to pay our last tribute andhomage to him in Bombay. I understand that the President has also decided to goto Bombay immediately, and the Speaker, Sir, went early this morning….” Don’t get influenced by these fake messages which you receive every morning onyour Whats App number. These are evil designs to villify Nehru. Q3 How do you get rid of bad breath even when I tonguescrape, have no cavities, and have good hygiene? A3 HimalayaOral Care, Providing oral care solutions with the goodness of herbs. Apr 11 Bad Breath can be caused by several reasons, but one of theoften missed root causes is gum bacteria. An accumulation of gum bacteria inthe mouth due to lack of adequate gum care leads to stubborn bad breath. This cannot be treated with temporary measures like mouthfreshener, chewing gum, or using gel toothpaste. The only effective way tofight bad breath is to ensure proper gum hygiene. Follow these steps: switch toa gum specialist toothpaste like Himalaya Ayurveda Gum Care Toothpaste, remember to brush along the gum line,and floss daily to ensure no food gets stuck in between gums. My note- Mostly others will feel bad odour ofmouth, but hesitate to say. No way recommending Himalaya products. I recollect anincident when I went for root canal with my dentist about 2 years back. I brushed two times, cleaned tongue,before going to dentist. When he started piercing the centre of toothwith his machine, I felt bad odour. Iasked the doctor the reason for it, telling about my brushing and tongue cleaning. With alaugh he said- You cleaned well outside the teeth. Notinside. In fact foul smell is very smell now. With many it may be muchmore! Q4 What are some weird marital dispute stories in India? A4 RupinderSingh, lives in India22h In Agra, a recently married woman returned to her parents andsought divorce for the reason that her husband forgot to bring a packet of Kurkureworth Rs. 5 for her! The couple, married just last year, reached a police stationfor an extremely silly reason. About a month and a half ago, the wife argued with thehusband and went back to her parents’ home. Recently, both went to the policeseparately. The husband claimed she was addicted to snacks and demandedit every day. The addiction had led to multiple arguments in the recent past.The day he forgot to bring snacks, she argued with him and left his house. A sad thing here is that the wife claimed physical abuse wasthe reason for leaving, which doesn’t seem to be the case as per the reports. The police sent the couple to a family counsellor. The counsellorlearned that the wife was addicted to Kurkure snacks, and the husband used tobring a packet every day on his way back from the office. They will be further counselled in an attempt to reconcile.
