Debu and Empti will find some innuendo in that snake book title itself (but none of them will own up to it)

# Is karma just another name for cause and effect?
If you can imagine the effect taking place on lag at times, then yes.

# According to popular belief, the karmic effects of all deeds are viewed as shaping the past, present, and future experiences. It's called karmaphal.
When I think og karamphal - I am thinking in "going forward" terms. My past is already shaped and can't be undone by my current or future deeds. True that my past was a result of my past karma but I can only learn from it and move on in this life.

#Do you think there is a dispenser of this karmaphal? Is there an arbitrator who rewards / punishes good deeds and bad deeds?
Since I believe in a non-interfering force, I feel there is no dispenser. Our choices create the options we have in life and our actions provide us further options - it's all self balancing.

# Is karma similar or dissimilar or completely unrelated to destiny? Do you believe in destiny?
To tell you frankly, I don't believe in destiny as in "stand alone concept". I feel our actions determine our destiny. But then there are certain things that karma can't explain at times and blaming them on destiny is the easier way out. I never faced such a situation in my life where I couldn't trace my options on my past karmas so for me, personally, I do not believe in destiny.

# Is Karma germane to only human beings or all sentient beings?
Beings with some level of evolved thinking.

# Do you suppose all the matter / energy in the universe is endowed with sentience?
Nope.

# Is karma responsible for the cycle of cause and effect only on earth or the entire universe or neither?
I don't know whether there's evolved life forms anywhere else in the universe or not. Hence, I can't answer this question.

# According to most studies, the first humans shared a common ancestor with modern African apes and this common ancestor existed 5 million years ago. Shortly thereafter, the species diverged into two separate lineages. One of these lineages ultimately evolved into gorillas and chimps, and the other evolved into early human ancestors called hominids. What role did karma play in the above evolution?
Two siblings who have the same gene pool, same upbringing and same environment often grow up as different from each other as chalk and cheese - why? Coming to your question - one group chose to evolve while other did not. the adventurous ones moved out of Africa and rest, as they say, is history. Hope you see the link to karma here. If not, let me know and I'll elaborate.

Mahi & Belive:

I once asked Believe how he defines his marriage. He responded, "A very expensive way to getting my laundry done free."

One evening I was walking Sarina's dog, Aria, in the neighborhood park hoping to catch one Italian hunk of a man's fancy (he often visits our neighborhood hoping to catch a glimpse of Ajnu methinks). Instead of bumping into the Italian hunk, I bumped into Summer_3 and Believe. Summer was raving about TNF with that honeymoon glow still fresh on his face. He gushed, "My wife is an Angel!" Believe goes, "Lucky you! Mine is still alive!"

I think Believe was too much under Qwerty's influence before qwerty tapak gaya thhaa. Neighbors often heard Believe say that women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are beautiful. Poor Mahi --- we all used to think --- oh poor poor Mahi! Knowing what kind of person Believe is, I wouldn't blame her for what she did in that crowded elevator the other day. This happened on a bright and sunny Sunday late morning:

As the crowded elevator descended, Mahi became increasingly furious with Believe, who was delighted to be pressed against Krystal.

As the elevator stopped at the main floor, Krystal suddenly whirled, slapped Believe, and said, "That will teach you to pinch!"

Bewildered, Believe was halfway to the parking lot with Mahi when he choked, "I . . . I didn't pinch Krystal."

"Of course you didn't," replied Mahi, consolingly. "I did."

They are still together and Mahi claims Believe is still a WIP!

Karan's 2nd Set:

Make lesbian couples out of women he listed in his set.

Sorry to disappoint you guys. This one will be more mushy guhsy bollywood type matchmaking than what I did with y'all. I think women will connect with other women more on the emotional level than physical. The physical part kicks in later. But then, what do I know😆

Mahi & SVCGL

Mismatched --- right from the day one. Mashi feels unloved and cries buckets day in and day out. All day out she was sitting by her door crying and would grab any one passing by and start telling them how miserable she is with SVCGL.

We all got so tired of all the moping that we requested K to shoo away SVCGL ... which he did. And we set Mahi up with middy and krystal. These day, we hear them singing

Ek ek sey bhaley doh

Doh doh sey bhaley teen......

In between, Krystal also bursts out singing "beedi jalayee ley jigar sey piya" and both middy and mahi take strong objection when Krystal comes to .. ja padosi key choolhey sey aagh leyi ley. Ajnu and Sarina are their padosi, you see.

Hey Gauri, I know you said no more tasks until the previous ones are done, so only do this if you have the time.

Assign DM members to the following Mahabharata characters, and explain why...

I feel dumber for having read it . 😉

Here is some addendum to explore new depths of IQ

When neighbor kitteh gave a disapproving glare,
I pulled the ears of 2 spammers(me and Empti) then and there,
Empti has posted a good task in one stroke,
Hope Cougar doesnt make me Mama Kansa with all that Rakhi smoke.

🤣 No, I won't. I promise. Since I like Empti's task, I am gonna make an exception to the note on my Key and attempt it.

here is another one

Cougar imagined me as Karna always,
One is her favorite character and other her best friend,
Now she will make me Shikhandi as are her ways, 😡
Because she has lot of revenge to take and thats her only amend.

I won't make you Shikhanid either😆 I have someone else in mind for Shikhandi. She fits the past life of Shikhandi as Amba to the T too🤣 Wait till you see my responses😆

but I say bring it on pussy cougar, you look like chweet cub 😛

Do I smell amul butter here😆
