My life in Quora

We all have some or the other questions about something like what if… Or why is…. about things that we want an answer. I too keep on thinking about this all the time and trying to find the answers on my own. So one way, I used to post the question that came to my mind on Google Search, so each and every time when I searched it always directed me to Quora App. It happened like 7-8 times, so I decided to check it out and the result was amazing.

Quora is a question and answer website where questions are asked, answered, edited, and organized by its community of users in the form of opinions. Users can collaborate by editing questions and suggesting edits to answers that have been submitted by other users. In September 2018, Quora reported hitting 300 million monthly users. Users on Quora are known for writing long, blog post-like answers. You can ask literally anything you want. Like..

  • What will happen if everyone in the world jump at once?
  • What is Netflix and Chill?
  • What will happen if…
  • Why…..

The answers to your questions are given by the peoples itself. You will get many different opinions fron different peoples, you can also continue on by engaging in a conversations with them, I am a Quora User for 8 months now and I still use it whenever some question strucks in my mind. I usually give my opinions in topic of Cricket since I am a biggest fan. My one answer on ‘Has anybody won Lakhs in Dream11?’ got around 10K views with many up votes.

The more views you get, the more your answer will be shared to various Users who are searching. Also I was regular on Quora for about two months, posting or either answering. One day I was invited to join a Quora Partner Program where posting Fresh Questions which has not been asked before and also will prove useful to others can help you earn money. The more peoples engaged on my question the more contributions I will make. E.g.

I have made 10 $ in last month. Its not a good contribution, but better. For each question I earn like 1$ or less . The more your question it reaches to the users on Quora the more you will earn. It depends upon how many other users has a similar questions and looking for an answer.

Recently my following question

https://www.quora.com/Why-has-Eminem-dissed-the-new-rappers-in-his-latest-album-Kamikaze?ch=10&share=23f05eb4&srid=O8p5i got about 87.5K views and is the highest earning question with 4.8 $. That time Eminem’s ‘Kamikaze’ was trending and also the diss battle between Eminem and MGK. Here’s a pic…

Now in order to become a Quora Partner you need to engage more in app by questioning and answering on particular topics. I was randomly chosen I has asked about 16 Questions and answered like 100 times. I got a mail to join a program and I moved forward accepting it. So if you have any queries feel free to ask. Keep asking and helping others. Cheers !

Heavy Downpour in Mumbai !

The financial capital of India is witnessing unprecedented torrential rain in a short period of time. Three people, including two minors, were killed in two separate house collapse incidents. 

The India Meteorological Department has warned of heavy showers today. Meanwhile, The State Disaster Management Authority has said rains in the megapolis, which came to a standstill following incessant downpour, are likely to be lesser today. The incessant rainfall has affected train schedules, flight and road traffic severely. The maximum city yesterday saw a whopping 298 mm of rainfall, the highest in a day in August since 1997. This was second only to 346.2 mm of rainfall registered on August 23 in 1997, as per reports. According to the IMD, the well-marked low-pressure area over the Mumbai region is likely to be upgraded to ‘depression’, which would mean more rains. ( Credits: Financial Express.)


Poor Drainage Systems in India has always been a problem in Mumbai. Many projects were inaugurated after the horrific 2005 Floods. For sure it was a like Recap. Thousands peoples were stranded at the Stations Airports, Railway services were halted and many vehicles were submerged in water.

Hats Off to #Ola they were providing free shuttles from various locations for those who were stranded.

Raksha Bandhan :The Unbreakable Bond between Brother and Sister.

I remember as a kid even My sisters used to tie me a Rakhi, its a festival of Hindus but everyone in the Country celebrates. 😊

In India, festivals are the celebration of togetherness, of being one of the family. Raksha Bandhan is one such festival that is all about affection, fraternity and sublime sentiments. It is also known as Raksha Bandhan which means a ‘bond of protection’. This is an occasion to flourish love, care, affection and sacred feeling of brotherhood.
On the day of Rakhi, sisters prepares the pooja thali with diya, roli, chawal, rakhi thread and sweets. The ritual begins with a prayer in front of God, then the sister ties Rakhi to her brother and wishes for his happiness and well-being. In turn, the brother acknowledge the love with a promise to stand by his sister through all the good and bad times.

Sisters tie Rakhi on the wrist of their brothers amid chanting of mantras, put roli and rice on his forehead and pray for his well-being. She bestows him with gifts and blessings. In turn, brothers also wish her a good life and pledges to take care of her. He gives her a return gift. The gift symbolizes the physical acceptance of her love, reminder of their togetherness and his pledge. The legends and the reference in history repeated, the significance of the festival is emphasized.

Raksha bandhan has been celebrated in the same way with the same traditions for many years. Only the means have changed with the changing lifestyle to make the celebration more elaborate and lively. This day has an inherent power that pulls the siblings together. The increasing distances evoke the desire to be together even more. All brothers and sisters try to reach out to each other on this auspicious day. The joyous meeting, the rare family get-together, that erstwhile feeling of brotherhood and sisterhood calls for a massive celebration.

For everyone, it is an opportunity to reunion and celebrate. People also share tasty dishes, wonderful sweets and exchange gifts. It is a time to share their past experiences also. For those who are not able to meet each other, rakhi cards and e-rakhis and rakhis through mails perform the part of communicating the rakhi messages. Hand made rakhis and self-made rakhi cards are just representation of the personal feelings of the siblings.

Parents Day !

National Parents’ Day honors all parents on the fourth Sunday in July

In May we celebrated mothers, and in June we celebrated fathers.  It follows that in July we can bring all our parents together and show them some appreciation all at once.  Parents play a vital role in the lives of children.  From the day we are born, parents are our protectors, teachers, providers and role models.  As families, they are the core of our communities.  On National Parents’ Day, we honor all parents do every day to raise up their children in a world that is constantly changing and challenging.

               

HOW TO OBSERVE:
Spend some time with your parents or visit someone who was like a parent to you.  Post on social media using #NationalParentsDay and encourage others to join in.

HISTORY:

National Parents’ Day was established in 1994 when President Bill Clinton signed a Congressional Resolution into Law  (36 U.S.C. § 135) for: recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of children.”  The bill was introduced by Republican Senator Trent Lott. 

HAPPY PARENTS DAY TO ALL !

Women Power : WWC Finals

​Harmanpreet Kaur‘s scintillating 115-ball unbeaten 171 against Australia in the semi-final of the 2017 Women’s World Cup was one of those innings that will go down in history as one of the best ever.

The Indian all-rounder made otherwise ‘world-class’ Aussie bowlers look helpless as she continued to humiliate them by knocking boundary after boundary. The 36-run victory on Thursday helped India book a spot in the finals, where they will face hosts England.

After Indian skipper Mithali Raj elected to bat first on winning the toss in a rain-shortened 42-overs-a-side semi-final at the County Ground, Kaur hammered her third One-day International ton, filled with 20 fours and seven massive sixes, to set a daunting 282-run target for the opponents to chase.

Australian Women tried their best in their batting with Blackwell scoring 90 and Villaini  75 but was all out on 245 runs at 41.1 overs.
India will face the mighty England on Sunday at London, and we are prepared for it. I wish our Womens team Luck and give their best in finals and make India Proud 💜
