He was also the first Asian to get the Prize. Poet Rabindranath Tagore won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 for his collection Gitanjali published in London in 1912. Born: 7 May 1861, Kolkata Died: 7 August 1941, Jorasanko Thakurbari, Kolkata. India's National Anthem, 'Jana Gana Mana', is an adoption from the writings of the poet and playwright, Rabindranath Tagore. "Jana Mana Gana" was originally written in Bengali by Rabindranath Tagore. "Jana Gana Mana" is the national anthem of India. . ====================== *😀Thought of the day* ======================= You are the creator of your own destiny ======================= *😳WHY❓❓❓* ======================= *Why is the Mongoose not killed by the cobra's🐍 during the fight?* Although a Cobra is a dangerous predator, It's venom is almost ineffective against a mongoose. The active ingredient most commonly found in snake venom, alpha-neurotoxin, works by attaching itself to acetylcholine receptor molecules on the surface of muscle cells. The mongoose's acetylcholine receptors render them resistant or immune to snake venom. The snake's venom fails to react the way it normally does to animals who are not immune to the venom. And so, one of the snake's main ammunition, its venom is almost useless against a mongoose. A mongoose think fur which is also silky and makes it difficult for the snake to grip. Even when a cobra manages to coil around a mongoose, it zips through its grip with ease. The fur also makes it difficult for a cobra to deliver a penetrating bite. Mongooses are physically stronger than snakes and their razor-sharp fangs and strong jaws can crush a cobra’s hood or sever its spine rendering it paralyzed. ======================= *LEARN Sanskrit*🙏🏻 ======================= *इदानीं यथार्थः समयः कः ?* = What is the exact time now ? *विद्या ददाति विनयं विनयाद्याति पात्रताम् ।* Means "Knowledge Generates Humility." ... (true/complete) knowledge gives discipline, from discipline comes worthiness, from worthiness one gets wealth, from wealth (one does) good deeds, from that (comes) joy ===================== 🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉ ======================= *How does a ship float what are the principles involved* 🛥️ The air that is inside a ship is much less dense than water. That's what keeps it floating! ... As a ship is set in water, it pushes down and displaces an amount of water equal to its weight. Any object placed in water experiences two forces: gravity, which pulls it down because of its mass, and the buoyancy force, or upthrust, which pushes it up. When these forces are balanced, the object floats. The buoyancy force of a stone is much smaller than its gravity force, which is why the stone sinks (although the buoyancy force makes the stone sink slower than it would do through the air). A ship also experiences these two forces. But because of its body design, which contains a lot of air, it displaces (pushes aside) enough water so that the buoyancy force is equal to its gravity force. That is why a ship floats. ======================= 💁🏻‍♂‍ *GK TODAY* ======================= 31 May – Anti-Tobacco Day Anti-Tobacco Day or World No Tobacco Day is observed on 31 May every year across the globe to make people aware and educate them about the harmful effects of tobacco on health which causes cardiovascular diseases, cancer ~~~~~~####~~~~~ (India) ======================= *BORN TODAY* 🐣💐 Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar (31 May 1725 – 13 August 1795) was the Holkar Queen of the Maratha Malwa kingdom, India.
