Ki Photo dikhayenge...🤪 ======================= *😳WHY❓❓❓* ======================= *How Do Clouds Float?*   Clouds form when the sun creates warm, moist air by heating and evaporating water on the earth’s surface. The warm, moist air is less dense than the cold air above it, so that warm air rises. The warm air cools as it comes into contact with the cooler air above. Cold air cannot hold as much moisture as warm air: the vapor has to condense into a liquid. This is the beginning of a cloud. the warm air pushes up on the cloud and keeps it afloat. ======================= *LEARN Sanskrit** ======================= *काम: क्रोधस्तथा लोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत् || 21||*  tri-vidham—three types of; narakasya—to the hell; idam—this; dvāram—gates; nāśhanam—destruction; ātmanaḥ—self; kāmaḥ—lust; krodhaḥ—anger; tathā—and; lobhaḥ—greed; tasmāt—therefore; etat—these; trayam—three; tyajet—should abandon =======================  🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉ ======================= *How do Solar Panels Work?*  When photons hit a solar cell, they knock electrons loose from their atoms.

She is the divine consort of Sundareswarar, a form of Shiva.  Meenakshi, Kamakshi and Visalakshi are considered the 3 Shakti forms of Goddess Parvati . derived from the words mīna 'fish' and akṣī 'eye'. She was earlier known by the Tamil name Taḍādakai 'fish-eyed one', mentioned in early historical account as a fierce, unmarried goddess which was later sanskritised as Meenaksh. Various meanings of this appellation have been suggested, including that she was originally a goddess of the fisher-folk, that her eyes are "large and brilliant" like that of a fish, or that she has "long and slender" eyes shaped like the body of a fish. Another interpretation is that the name is based on the belief that the fish never close their eyes: the goddess similarly never stops watching over her devotees.  ======================= ( *Note* : These home tips followed in villages/ancient traditions, it is up to you to use it or not🙏🏻) ======================= *CPR* : Doing CPR right away can double or even triple a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest.   If a person is not breathing, his heartbeat will stop.
