 This question was asked on Koun Banega Karodpati program.


Question 


Which language don't use header line on its alphabet ???


1.  Devanagari 


2.  Gujarati 


3.  Gurmukhi


4.  Bengali 



Answer 


Header line on alphabet means the way we write Hindi alphabets, finally we complete it by drawing a line on top of the alphabet.


We write Hindi in Devanagari script.  There we use header line.

Devanagari is ruled out !!!


Bengali have resemblance to Devanagari.

Bengali is ruled out !!!


I didn't know about  script  Gurmukhi

Later I found out it is  the script of Punjabi  !!!

Punjabi alphabets have header line.

Punjabi ruled out   !!!


Remaining is Gujarati.

Though Gujarati resembles Devanagari,  Gujaratis don't use header lines for their alphabets  !!!


This makes it different from Devanagari script.


Hence answer      GUJARATI       !!!!

Sun candles

 Today morning I had written about sundogs.


Now I am writing about sun candles.


How does a sun candle look like  ??


A bright, flame like vertical beam of light appears directly below the Sun.

It resembles a candle flame piercing through clouds  !!!



Sun candle forms when sunlight reflects off tiny, flat  plate like hexagonal ice crystals drifting horizontally in the atmosphere.


But they are typically invisible from ground level.



Pilots frequently encounters them.



Sundogs are formed as the refraction of sunlight and appears on either side of Sun.


Sun candles are the reflection of sun light and appears in an elongated form below the Sun.

Why do pilots see 3 Suns when flying over Himalayas ??

 Pilots flying over Himalayas often see 3 Suns at once  !!!


This is not an optical illusion.


It is an atmospheric phenomenon known as    SUN DOG.



At altitude above 6,000 meters, clouds appear as thin, transparent veil, frequently creating a halo around Sun or Moon.



These ice crystals act as prisms and bend sunlight, producing bright spots on either side of the Sun.



When the crystals are large and perfectly oriented , formes bright areas appear like 2  Sun  along with real Sun  !!!
