Doubt on Yoga advice

With great difficulty, we finally managed to start attending the yoga classes early in the morning. Second day of the class, the teacher was giving us tips on simple life style. One of the advices he gave was 'Take bath in normal water. Avoid hot water.'

My husband looked at me and asked ' How about mineral water? ' :-)

Darwin's theory

Manager: You haven't started using the common website for sharing documents of latest version
Team member: I am frustrated and confused. A few months back it was a shared folder, then it was VSS and then subversion and now it is the common website. By the time I stabilize the usage of one, it is decommissioned and a new one is in place. Why does it change so often?
Manager: It is like evolution. If not for it, you would have just remained a monkey even now.
