As someone who writes mostly technology-related answers, I see the following question so much it makes me want to tear my hair out:“Can iCloud Activation Lock be Bypassed?”For those who don’t know, Apple devices that have an iCloud account active on them with Find My iPhone enabled will lock the device to that Apple ID even if it is restored to factory defaults. This is designed to prevent thievery, since stolen devices (typically iPhones) are useless without the Apple ID password they are locked with to unlock it. It is incredibly common for people to sell devices without removing the lock beforehand (likely because they don’t know it exists, or how to remove it) or because it is stolen. Either way, the lock cannot be bypassed without that password… but that doesn’t stop everyone and their mother from asking if it can be done as if the rules somehow don’t apply to them.Instead of viewing the answers on an existing question, or even asking new people to answer that existing question, they make a new one. Every. Single. Time. Quora is absolutely flooded with these questions, and I get A2A requests for them more than anything else.

The lakes of Pakistan can dazzle the eyes and enslave the spectator with their natural allure. The enticing attractiveness of the lakes have many myths associated with them.Lake Saif-Ul-Malook:-A source of Kunhar river, at the end of the valley of Kaghan, the enchanting beauty and the never ending peace, one would not even mind dying out here. This paradise on earth has many tales associated with it.The reason it is called the paradise on earth is because according to a myth, fairies from heaven come down to bathe themselves in this lake. Once, there was a prince, his name was Saif-Ul-Malook. While he was bewitched by the mystical beauty of the lake, his eyes came across a fairy(Badi-Ul-Jamal). She was dancing on the surface of the lake. It was love at first sight for the prince, and by just taking one glance at the magical fairy, he surrendered to temptation. He wanted to marry her, but could not think of anything he could do to win her over. As a last resort, he stole the fairy’s clothes, and refused to return them until the modest fairy agrees to marry him. The Queen of fairies failed to sway him, agreed to his proposal. They both had stunning love for each other, little did they know that the fairy’s demon lover Deuo Sufaid(The White Giant), was eagerly waiting for an oppurtunity to sabotage their happiness. The demon flooded the entire valley and the Queen of fairies got hedged inside the mountains. After the weakening of the flood, the prince forever kept waiting for her love.The tale has two endings;Some say that the prince’s soul wanders the lake at every full moon, with hopes of reuniting with her lover, but fails each time(Sad Version).Some say that the prince fought against the demon and rescued the Queen of Fairies(Happy Version).Ansoo Lake:-Ansoo means Teardrop, this beautiful lake has a perplexing myth, associated not just with it but Lake Saif-Ul-Malook as well. this lake is considered to be formed by Deuo Sufaid, the demon lover of the fairy, after shedding tears of jealousy and resentment of losing the lovely fairy to prince Saif-Ul-Malook. Ansoo lake was created out of Deuo’s sorrow and regret.Being found in 1993 by Pakistani pilots, the lake is a very recent discovery, therefore the myth is widely considered to be true by the locals.Thanks.Image Sources: Googlehttps://www.shughal.com/5-enchan...

My interview was at Antriksh Vihar, Delhi on 1/08/2018. I applied for Scientist ‘SC’ in Mechanical Engineering Branch. I was 30th in the merit in the written qualified candidates(Scored 200/231) but it was of no use as ISRO selects solely on the basis of Interview. Total 382 candidates were qualified for the interview.Firstly, I took guidance from some of my seniors at AMU working in ISRO. They told me to confident while giving the interview. Yet, I was quite nervous as I am 2018 batch pass out and had no idea of such interview.I entered the room and wished the panel members. There were around 11-panel members staring at me. The senior-most of them asked me to take my seat.M1: Introduce yourselfME: I introduce myself like this (remember the order)My name is Mohammad Munis and I am from Deoria, UP.

I have had the opportunity of giving 'THE UPSC INTERVIEW' twice, one in 2016 and other in 2017. Both the time I had the same board headed by former Air Marshal Ajit Bhonsale.I was awarded pretty good scores both the times, 184 (in 2016) and 187 (in 2017) :)Before I answer what happens in UPSC interview, let me break some myths.MYTHSInterview questions are not like the whatsapp forwards you recieve. Example : How to throw egg from a building without breaking it?Interview is not a system of rejection or acceptance. It is just a part of whole process , your written marks are added in your interview score to determine your rank. So you may have high written score but low interview marks can mar your chances of rank and vice versa.Interview is not a test of your knowledge. Knowledge has already been tested in written examination. Interview is test of your personality and confidence. Obviously questions are asked to test your confidence but if you don't know the answer you can say “I don't know sir/ma'am” confidently instead of bluffing. You have to be truely honest.Some interview boards are dreaded due to myth that they give low marks but I think every board has its range of marks( Bhonsale Sir board is dreaded but he awarded me good marks both the times). It is just that every board chairman has probably different parameters and ways of testing you. For example : Ajit Bhonsale sir will make you really comfortable but sometimes when you become very comfortable you let yourself loose and commit blunders. On other hand B.S. Bassi sir is very strict ( I have heard) , puts in you in spot for the first few minutes. His strategy is maybe to check you during tough times.UPSC interview is not like a roadies audition. All the members of the board are highly cordial.BEFORE UPSC INTERVIEWNight before the interview is really tough. There are butterflies in your stomach. There is soo much going on in your head that sleeping becomes a task.On the day of interview it becomes quite a task for us girls because we have to tie a saree. My mom was with me so she helped me with that but handling the saree gracefully is your task. I want to tell you that I wore the same green colour saree for both my interviews because after my first interview I thought it was lucky for me :)2016 interview2017 interview ( 5 kg lighter!!)Once you signNow UPSC office on Shahjahan road , you are made to stand in a line outside the gate for verification by showing summon letters. For me this moment for the first time was in 2016 and it was really mesmerizing. I was like Aamir Khan ’s character in “3idiots” movie where he couldnt stop smiling because it felt like a dream.After all verification candidates are made to sit in a room for document verification. There are 6 tables with 6 candidates each. All the 6 candidates on one table go to same interview board. After document checking candidates are moved to a central hall. Here we are finally told which board we are assigned.Candidates are called one by one for the interview and headed towards respective members 's rooms. A candidate is called 5 minutes before the previous candidates 's interview is over. So you are made to sit outside the interview room. This is the most unnerving moment. My strategy used to be: to sit and gaze around so that I don't think about the impending interview and calming myself in the process. And finally after few minutes the peon asks you to GO INSIDE!!DURING THE INTERVIEWHere I will narrate my 2017 CSE interview held on 24 th April 2018:I entered the room I wished everyone good afternoon ( it was around 1:30 pm ). I was asked to take seat. The interview board had chairman (Air Marshal Ajit Bhonsale Sir in my case) and 4 other members seated around a table. There was a member seating very close to me and watching my every action, most probably he was psychoanalysist or something like that.So finally the interview started :CHAIRMANChairman : Shilpa sit down. Feel comfortable. Take a deep breath. I see a young and smart lady in front of me who has a very good academic background. Are you nervous?Me: No sir ( I smiled)CHAIRMAN : Ok then we will start with the interview.Which areas you are expecting that we would ask from DAF ( detailed application form , it is like a CV which contains information about you, your qualification, your hobbies etc).Me: Sir about my graduation i.e. BDS , my birthplace Chandigarh and hobbiesChairman : What do you derive from making greeting cards? ( Apart from reading , teaching/ mentoring , I mentioned “making handmade greeting cards” as my hobby in DAF)Me: Sir, it is a form of creative expression for me which gives me immense pleasure.Chairman : Ok shilpa.MEMBER 1M1 : What are your views on death sentence for rape accused in case victim is below 12 years? Accused are generally known to victim in cases of child abuse cases.Me : Sir ,you are right. NCRB records state that in child sexual abuse cases 94% of accused are known to victim. This may lead to non reporting or victim turning hostile due to pressure from family.Secondly, death penalty is not a deterrent. It has been proven from many reports.Thirdly , now rape and murder have same punishment so now the rapist will not leave his victim alive .(M1 : good point Dr. Shilpa)M1 : Have you heard about euthanasia? What is the recent SC judgement.Me: Euthanasia in common terms means mercy killing. It is of two types : active and passive euthanasia. Recently SC has allowed passive euthanasia in case patient is in permanent vegetative state.M1: Who decides it is time for euthanasia?Me: Sir , It consists of three layered mechanism . A mechanism for living will has been given which is accessed by the doctor. If he feels that there is need for go ahead the permission is send to a special medical board which consists of four specialists. After approval it is forwarded to district collector.M1: What is living will?Me: It is a directive by a patient that in due course of his treatment if stops responding to treatment or is in permanent vegetative state he be considered for passive euthanasia.MEMBER 2M2 : Comment on our relations with our neighbours with respect to Bangladesh , Nepal.Me: Sir , Neighbourhood first policy has been major component of our foreign policy.Good relations with Bangladesh for example recently land boundary agreement was signed very amicably. There is just one irritant in form of teesta water treaty.Nepal we have historical and cultural ties. 'BETI AND ROTI' ka rishta. A buffer state. But due to unprecedented foray of China into south asia and Nepal playing China card due to its domestic compulsions , relations have taken toll right now.( I wanted to summarize but M2 said ok shilpa fine)M2 : Chinese president XI Xingping and PM modi will be meeting recently. Where?ME: Sir there will be an informal meeting in City of Wuhan , China. Here wide array of issues will be discussed.M2 : China is saying it will be sharing data on satluj river. What is that?ME: Sir basically hydrological data. Water levels and dams to be constructed.M2: Sociolgists are better administrators. Why? (Sociology is my optional subject)ME: Sir, it is basically study of social groups , social institutions and their dynamics. And as civil servant you are basically dealing with these institutions and groups. For eg : as a sociologist one knows laws decide where society SHOULD GO but Societal norms decide where society actually GOES. It serves a great value as a civil servant.MEMBER 3M3 : Dr. Bhatti you were talking about China right now. How are we same ?How does it poses a danger how India is responding? Can we learn something from China?( it was a long question so I broke it into parts)Me: China and India are same with respect to thriving economies. China is second largest economy in terms of nominal GDP and India is 7th.Both are populous nations with huge human capital potential.Dangers : China 's unprecedented foray into South Asia. Increasing footprint in Indian ocean.Learn from China: China has emerged as workshop of world. Its manufacturing sectors contributes around 34% to its GDP where India its just 17% ( Member said good Dr.Bhatti)MEMBER 4M4 : Social media is turning a place for spreading wrong news and all ( long lecture) . How to address this?Me: Sir in the post truth era social media is turning into menance where fake news are being spread. (M4 interuppts)M4 : You used word post truth. Very interesting word. What is that?Me: Sir it is an era where facts are considered less and beliefs and emotions shape the public opinion.M4 : Very good Shilpa. Continue with your answer. How to address?Me: Sir we can address first at legal level. For eg : EU has .......( M4 interuppts.)M4: Shilpa talk at a more local level. Like you are Chandigarh DC.Me: Sir first we can use social media itself. These days every administration has official twitter , FB accounts. From this we can give correct info n allay fears.Secondly in Chandigarh during Ram Rahim case SMS were sent as precaution. We can use this platformThirdly , involving civil society to create awareness to not accept any news at face value before confirming it from standard source.M4 : Did you choose Medical field by choice ? You are no longer pursuing it?Me: Sir , Civil services was always on my mind but idea wasn't very concrete at that time. I choose medical field because of my love for science and I have always performed good in academics.Also while working as a dentist I realized that civil services gives much larger platform to bring a change plus job diversity it offers is unparallelled.CHAIRMANCHAIRMAN : Tell me where woman bureaucrats or officers in general can be of great help?Me : Sir , in police administration for example if the cutting edge officers or bureaucrats in general are woman we can make our police services more gender sensitive.Chairman : yes ok. Continue.Me: Sir I cant think of other areas right now.(Chairman smiled and said ok)CHAIRMAN : Ok Shilpa tell me one last question before we go for lunch. You have heard about tussle between delhi chief secretary and chief minister?Me: yes sir.CHAIRMAN : So now bureaucrats blame its ministers who hamper work and politician blame bureaucrats. What to do?Me: Sir the permanent executive and the elected executive has work in tandem.CHAIRMAN : Yes tell me solution?Me: Following SOP and due process of law.Secondly, Sir transperant administration. Egovernance to cut down bureaucratic red tapism and also ensuring the executive is pro active in various people centric schemes or policies.Thirdly , we can have informal meetings in form of ‘chintin shivirs' or organising sports events for breaking the ice and acting as confidence building measures.CHAIRMAN : Ok Shilpa your interview is over.

( I thanked other member too)Interview lasted around 25 minutes. Members were extremely cordial and I had a feeling that it went well.And I got a good score of 187 :) I was able to secure 712 rank UPSC CSE 2017 and currently Iam preparing for rank improvement :)I hope this answer conveyed what happens in UPSC interview :)

December has always been a very special month in my life. It is not only because of the cool winter breeze, but also because of the festival Christmas which is celebrated around the world with great zeal and enthusiasm. Most of us including me eagerly wait for this time of the year. This is because it also brings holidays with it.I fondly remember, when I was a child we used to celebrate Christmas in school. There were different kinds of delicacies which my friends brought to eat such as cakes, pastries, etc. . It was so much fun back then. We all used to play a game called ‘Secret Santa’ where we were asked to choose 1 chit from the bucket. Whosoever name came out from that chit , had to bring a gift for that person. I was studying in 12th grade, which marked the last year of my schooling . It was the month of December and like every year we were to play the Secret Santa game. We all chose 1 chit and we were supposed to bring the gift, the next day. I brought a pencil box as a gift. The gift I received in return was a gift that I could never forget. I still carry it with me now also wherever I go. It was a tiny locket of Jesus Christ. The one from whom I received the gift, her name was Rose . She was one of my best friends in school. Now the time has passed and we all have parted our ways but the gift that I received will be with me forever.They say, ‘LOVE THE GIVER MORE THAN THE GIFT’ and for me, I loved the giver and I loved what she gave.

The time I had a criminal client who was arrested for exposing himself to a young girl, and being in possession of a huge cache of child pornography. He was a middle-class, nominally intelligent and articulate man who had been arrested for the first time in his life.This fellow gave a very detailed, hour-long, videotaped confession to the police before he hired me.And after he hired me, he began insisting that he hadn’t confessed at all, despite the high-definition and surround-sound quality of his taped confession, and further claimed the porn collection had been planted by a disgruntled g...

I was fresh out of high school, getting ready to head to college on a scholarship.  I was the bomb, the cream... I was destined for the best.  I was pure EGO.My car was crap though.  And while driving through a very bad area of town, it stopped working.  I was stranded.  I didn't have but a single dollar on me, so I figured that I had to find a phone and call my family to come get me... but within moments of stepping out of my car a bum came up and asked me if I could give him a dollar for a beer.I explained to him that NO... I needed that dollar to call for help as my car just broke down.  He asked what was wrong with it and I explained that I had NO idea.  He asked if he could look at it and I said sure.  He asked me to start it and started messing around with a few thing.He found there was a split in a vacuum hose that was preventing the carburetor from drawing gas properly.  He pulled out a pocket knife, trimmed the hose to remove the split, reattached it and the car started.I was the bomb.  He was the bum. I was headed to college and great things.  He could fix my car with a pocket knife. I gave him my last dollar to buy a beer with.My ego shrank permanently that day.I realized that everyone knows something that I don't. You can learn something from everyone if you listen.
