🇮🇳 *FACTS ABOUT BHARAT* 🇮🇳
=======================

*😳WHY❓❓❓*
=======================
*Why Kerosene will not get freeze even it is kept in the freezer*
The flash point of kerosene is between 37 and 65 °C (100 and 150 °F), and its autoignition temperature is 220 °C (428 °F). The freeze point of kerosene depends on grade, with commercial aviation fuel standardized at −47 °C (−53 °F). 1-K grade kerosene freezes around −40 °C (−40 °F, 233 K).
The normal temperature of domestic freezers is between -18C and -20C, whilst that of commercial freezers is anywhere between -18C and -36C. You might get the odd commercial freezer going colder than this, depending on what it’s being used for, in which case there’s a small chance that some grades of kerosene might become sludgy, but under most situations it won’t freeze.

🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉ ==================
Laser printers use microscopic ink particles in a powdered form known as toner. Once heated by the fuser unit, the toner melts allowing it to be fused to the paper fibres under pressure.....The printers laser beams your print onto a metal cylinder called a drum......Using static electricity, the drum attracts powdered toner from its cartridge to the drum......The drum rolls the toner onto the paper in the form of your print.........The toner is melted onto the paper by heat from a fuser as it passes underneath... print comes out of the printer.

Sri Hanuman's name originates from the Sanskrit hanu, meaning “jaw,” and man, meaning “prominent” or “disfigured.” Legend claims he received his name in childhood when Indra Dev, the king of the Devatha's, struck him in the jaw for attempting to leap up and grab the sun.
Sri Hanuman is a devotee of Shri Rama and one of the central characters in a well-known Hindu epic, the Ramayan. According to the Shaivite tradition, Sri Hanuman is also an incarnation of Bhagwaan Shiv.
The Hanuman Chalisa (Forty chaupais on Hanuman) is a Hindu devotional hymn (stotra) in praise of Hanuman. It was authored by Tulsidas in the Awadhi language, and is his best known text apart from the Ramcharitmanas.

🧬 *HEALTH CARE: HOME REMEDIES*🩺
( *Note* : These home tips followed in villages/ancient traditions, it is up to you to use it or not🙏🏻) =======================
*Home remedies for chest burn sensation*
Acidity occurs when the stomach produces excess hydrochloric acid, causing a burning sensation in the stomach, chest and neck area, called heartburn. The acids along with food get ejected up the oesophagus in gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. Fatty and spicy foods and the bacteria Helicobacter Pylori are the top causes of this condition.
Sodium bicarbonate, commonly called baking soda is used across homes as a remedy for acute acid refluxes. It is alkaline in nature and neutralises the acids when mixed in water, but is a short term remedy. Patients suffering from chronic cases of excess acidity should consult a gastroenterologist. Baking soda is also high in salts and is thus not ideal for those suffering from high blood pressure.
cumin or Jeera when mixed in water can help reduce acidity and bloating. Cumin is alkaline in nature and hence it neutralises the acids, just like baking powder. It also aids in relieving indigestion and is effective in helping manage blood pressure. Studies have found that black cumin extracts can help heal gastric ulcers.
Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil, has healing properties that can help treat gastric ulcers. Tulsi consumption also results in increased secretion of cellular mucus, which protects the linings of the stomach and the oesophagus from ulcerative damage. Tulsi also contains anti-inflammatory properties like ginger.
