CULTURAL QA 06202407A
Q1 Why did Brahmins not allow Shudra to study for 2,000 years? KR What is the role of Brahmins here, who were never in power?! How these thoughts came to you? Wasting and repeating second time. Q2 As a North Indian do you feel uncomfortable studying in a South Indian medical college in any way? Is it at least worth it if you like the education over there? KR For a student staying off, mingling in different sect, Region and language -will be a good or bad experience; but will help in service when one joins in another state. Q3 What are the new medical breakthroughs or new technologies that is changing old medical procedures? KR Yes sir Even animal censors are adopted’ but What Dr TINY says, may mislead also. Anyway, progress is wanted. Normally adopted are: 1. Imaging Techniques Mammography Use: Primarily for breast cancer detection. How it works: Uses low-dose X-rays to create detailed images of the breast. CT Scans (Computed Tomography) Use: Detects tumors in various parts of the body such as lungs, liver, and abdomen. How it works: Combines multiple X-ray images to create a detailed cross-sectional view of the body. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Use: Useful for detecting cancers in the brain, spinal cord, and other soft tissues. How it works: Uses powerful magnets and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues. Ultrasound Use: Commonly used for detecting cancers in the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and reproductive organs. How it works: Uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures inside the body. PET Scans (Positron Emission Tomography) Use: Often used to detect cancer metastasis. How it works: Uses a radioactive sugar injected into the body; cancer cells absorb more sugar and show up on the scan. 2. Biopsy Use: Confirming cancer diagnosis. How it works: Involves taking a small sample of tissue from the suspected area for examination under a microscope. 3. Endoscopy Use: Detects cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and other organs. How it works: Uses a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to view the inside of body cavities and organs. 4. Blood Tests Complete Blood Count (CBC) Use: Can detect blood cancers such as leukemia. How it works: Measures different components of the blood, such as red and white blood cells. Tumor Markers Use: Detects specific proteins or markers that are elevated in certain cancers. How it works: Blood is tested for substances produced by cancer cells or by the body in response to cancer. Liquid Biopsy Use: Detects genetic mutations and other cancer-related changes in the blood. How it works: Analyzes circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the blood. 5. Genetic Testing Use: Identifies inherited genetic mutations that increase the risk of certain cancers. How it works: Involves analyzing DNA from blood or saliva samples to detect genetic predispositions. 6. Pap Smear and HPV Testing Use: Cervical cancer screening. How it works: Involves collecting cells from the cervix to look for abnormalities and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. 7. Colonoscopy Use: Screening for colorectal cancer. How it works: A long, flexible tube with a camera is used to view the entire colon and rectum. 8. Low-Dose CT for Lung Cancer Use: Screening for lung cancer in high-risk individuals, such as heavy smokers. How it works: Uses a low dose of radiation to create detailed images of the lungs. 9. Dermatoscopy Use: Detecting skin cancers such as melanoma. How it works: A special magnifying tool (dermatoscope) is used to examine skin lesions. Modern cancer detection methods include a range of imaging techniques, biopsies, blood tests, genetic testing, and specialized screening tools. These methods allow for early detection and accurate diagnosis, which are critical for effective treatment and improving patient outcomes. Regular screenings and awareness of personal risk factors are also essential components of early cancer detection Q4 What are some things that happen only in India? KR Is that happening only in India? My neighbour, a friend of my age, gives to his grandson anything between $100 to$ 500. Even if one were 100 years old, for his Grandparents, only a kid, who should not suffer. Q5 What are the prospects after a M.Sc. in mathematics? KR What is the perspective for a BA is for all. A particular study has prospects only in that like; hunting for generally means, all are only in one pool. The best prospect in the Ramanujan Maths Institute and as a statistician. A lecturer is what I demand and as a tuition teacher to so many as 90% of students feel weak only in maths.

It was the duty of British government, Moghul government, Khilji government, Gulami government, Chavan government, Gupta government, Mourya government and all ancient kings' governments (Not a single one belongs to Brahmins!) to provide education to all their citizens. What is the role of Brahmins here, who were never in power?! How these thoughts came to you? *Q2 As a North Indian do you feel uncomfortable studying in a South Indian medical college in any way? Is it at least worth it if you like the education over there?* A2 Deviant, MBBS from SVIMS - Sri Padmavathi Medical College for Women (Expected 2027)Jan 12 As a North Indian currently studying in South India for over a year now, I’d like to share my set of experience here. Do you feel uncomfortable in South?No, not at all. I would like to mention that for my rank I could have got into any North Indian state in mop up round except for the region I belong to. But it was my choice to fill the college of South India. Just after the result of the counselling, literally I felt like-The road not taken. (Today when I look back, I don't think that I could have been in a better place) I remember when I first came for my college admissions, I wasn't able to gather my mind to accept the fact that I'll have to stay at this place, thousands of kilometres away from my hometown. I’ll be unfiltered here. I wasn't very sure that I’ll be able to survive here or not. The language, the food, and the lifestyle, everything was altogether different. It wasn't that I wasn't aware of this. I knew that I’ll get to witness a complete different life there, but you do feel a little anxious while stepping out of your home for the first time. As the days passed by, the dust did clear off from my eyes letting me see through this unexplored beautiful part of our country. It didn't happen overnight. As days passed, and as I got to know the condition of medical colleges in other parts of the country, I came to conclude that MBBS is literally more or less same everywhere. It's up to you to make most of it. Also I would like to mention that you'll meet some of the most nicest people here. You would never feel “a North Indian” here, which means you won't be treated like an outsider at least I can vouch for it from my experience here in my college. People here are really humble and welcoming. It's not the place but the people who make a place living worth living.Is it worth it?Yes, MBBS is MBBS. No matter what college you are in, here in South India, you can explore as much as you want, as there are always some events happening, in medical colleges of Bangalore, Hyderabad, JIPMER. There are opportunities. It's just that you need to grab it. You’ll eventually realise this too. *Q3 What are the new medical breakthroughs or new technologies that is changing old medical procedures?* A3 Tiny Nair, Cardiologist at PRS Hospital, Trivandrum1y In early 1900 in England, people used to sprinkle ninhydrin powder over the door lock before they left home. If a thief tried to break-in, they would have ninhydrin powder in their hand. *Ninhydrin reacted with sweat and produced a rather permanent red colour.* Check the suspects hand, and the thief would be caught ‘red-handed’. Catching a rogue cancer cell hiding somewhere among the 37 trillion healthy ones, standing shoulder to shoulder, is not that easy as catching a thief. But now scientists have found a way to catch the cancer-cell literally red-handed. They are called tumour markers Tumour Markers are either fragments of cancer cells, their products, their secretions; but coming from a rogue cell, it is different from a healthy product. Tumour markers are promising in replacing painful biopsies sometimes in the future. Already many are in clinical use but search for others are on. *Time is not far away when a drop of blood, just about another anxious 15 minutes, and you would know if you have cancer anywhere in the body.* But till that comes true, don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, avoid excess sunlight exposure and maintain a health body weight by a good diet. Remember, smoking, alcohol, excess UV exposure and obesity are correlated with most preventable cancers. Right now, investing in a better Lock is preferable to looking for a pair of red hands in the crowd. *Q4 What are some things that happen only in India?* A4 Vivek Anand Sharma, Assistant Executive Engineer at Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, India (2017–present)Updated 5y Me at my relative's house. Me: Ok uncle, now I should leave. I have installed PAYTM in your handset. Now GO CASHLESS! Uncle: Ok beta. Next weekend aana phir. Kahi Ghumne Chalte Hai. (Ok son. Come next weekend again. We'll go somewhere fun.) I stand up to make my way through the door, when aunty shouts from the back. Aunty: Beta.1 minute. ( Just a minute, son). She comes to me smiling with her fist closed.Aunty: Aaana phir, ha. ( Do come again for sure.) And she puts something in my shirt pocket. I find two Rs. 500 notes in my pocket next second. Me: No aunty. No, No.....I can't……(Trying to put that back into her hands.) Aunty: ( Pushing it deep in my pocket) Are nahi beta, Chai pee lena raaste me. ( No Son, Keep it for snacks on the way.) Me: (Blushing and Shying away) Namaste Aunty. I think you get the idea. Relatives giving you the money, you refusing it first and then keeping it ultimately. Story of every visit to a relative. *Q5 What are the prospects after a M.Sc. in mathematics?* A5 Vivek Yadav, B TECH in Mechanical Engineering, UPES, Dehradun (Expected 2025)Feb 22 After completing a Master of Science M.Sc. in Mathematics, individuals have diverse career prospects across various industries. Some may choose academia and research, pursuing Ph.D. studies and becoming researchers or professors. Others may enter data analysis and statistics roles, working as data analysts or scientists in finance, healthcare, or technology sectors. The financial industry seeks mathematicians for quantitative finance, modeling, and algorithmic trading. In engineering and technology, mathematicians contribute to computer graphics, cryptography, and software development. Government agencies and non-profits hire mathematicians for economic analysis, public policy evaluation, and urban planning. Consulting firms rely on mathematicians for problem-solving in diverse sectors. Additionally, some pursue careers in education, teaching mathematics or working in educational outreach programs. Overall, M.Sc. graduates in mathematics possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills sought after in academia, research, industry, government, and education. The key lies in leveraging these skills to pursue fulfilling careers aligned with individual interests and aspirations. My note- They can write many recruitment examinations including U P S C, become IAS, IPS or IRS officers. Many probationary officers, later Asst. Managers in banks are Engineering graduates, post graduates etc. One cannot find a single staff in banks less than graduate qualification with higher grade, except some sweeper, group D staff. Even Group D new recruits are graduates. Recently when my son came on vacation, we went to nearby Bank of Baroda, where Asst. Manager is a Keralite from Trivandrum. I knew him, from the time he joined about a month back and his wife is a doctor in Trivandrum medical college from him. While discussing about his NRO account my son said, he is BE from a private Engineering college under Madras university. Suddenly he reciprocated with a smile *he is also a Mechanical engineer from a private Engineering college in Trivandrum*!!!
