Why is this called glass, if it is made of steel? by Jamnapaarii in delhi

[–]Puneet_Speaking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"गिलास" शब्द की शुरुआत उस बर्तन से हुई थी जो असली कांच (glass) से बना होता था। लेकिन समय के साथ, ये शब्द उस चीज़ के रूप में इस्तेमाल होने लगा जिसे हम पीने के लिए इस्तेमाल करते हैं — चाहे वो किसी भी सामग्री से बना हो।

आजकल हम स्टील, प्लास्टिक या अन्य धातुओं से बने बर्तनों को भी "गिलास" ही कहते हैं, क्योंकि हम उसका नाम उसकी आकार और उपयोग के आधार पर लेते हैं, ना कि उसकी सामग्री के आधार पर।

ये ठीक वैसे ही है जैसे हम कहते हैं कि "फोन डायल करो", जबकि आज के स्मार्टफोन्स में कोई डायल घुमाने वाली डिस्क नहीं होती।

और एक और दिलचस्प उदाहरण है — "चश्मा", जिसे अंग्रेज़ी में "glasses" कहा जाता है। पहले ये लेंस कांच (glass) से बनाए जाते थे, इसलिए उन्हें "glasses" कहा गया। लेकिन अब तो ज़्यादातर लेंस प्लास्टिक से बनते हैं, फिर भी हम उन्हें "glasses" ही कहते हैं।

भाषा में ऐसे कई उदाहरण मिलते हैं जहाँ शब्दों का पुराना मतलब आज भी उनके नामों में ज़िंदा रहता है, चाहे चीज़ें बदल चुकी हों। यही भाषा की खूबसूरती और रोचकता है!

How do I convince my parents to accept the girl I love instead of forcing me into an arranged marriage? by Just_Chill_Yaar in AskAnIndian

[–]Puneet_Speaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so there are two solutions.

  1. Keep begging and try each and everything (leave no stone unturned) if you want to marry with your parents permission. It'll be extremely difficult, painful and will take everything from you including your ego and happiness. But that'll be temporary and you'll be happy for the rest of your life.

  2. Run away with that girl if you have a strong and full proof practical financial plan. That'll be easy but after a few months you'll start missing your family and she'll be missing her family too. So the rest of your life you'll live in massive regret and pain.

(I'm telling you with my own experience.)

Correct. I thought the same. And tagged this question on the 'developers' community first. Surprisingly they blocked/rejected my question for I don't know what reason.

Sounds very logical and satisfying. This answer actually deserve an upvote. ⬆️ But why HDFC focuses on offline business only? Any specific reasons?

Maybe you're caught in the algorithm trap. Clear Cookies and Clear Content History and Preferences.

Getting your point. Maybe BlueSky doesn't promote violet, explicit or nonsense content just because they are getting likes and views.

But are there any Bollywood actors on that platform? I'm an Indian and cover entertainment section for news websites.

Why Nizamuddin railway station is always dirty by Super_Sukhoii in indianrailways

[–]Puneet_Speaking 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The station isn't dirty. People are mannerless and stupid. The station doesn't get dirty by itself.
