World's oldest river

   The oldest river in the world predates dinosaurs  !!!

The Finke river in Australia is between 300 million to 400 million old.

Rivers are constantly in flux, with some growing bigger from year to year and others drying up completely.

So, why has Finke river lasted so long ??

In case of Finke, Australia has been the unusually stable landscape for a very long time.

Resting in the middle of the Australian plate, continent has experienced no significant tectonic activity for the several million years  !!!

Thus, Finke river has been able to develop and expand almost uninterrupted......

 Question 

Seema is shopping at D - Mart. Her bill contains the following ----

Goods worth Rs 400   --  There is no GST

Goods worth Rs 5೦0  -- GST of    5%

Goods worth Rs 900  ---   GST of   18%

What is the final D - Mart bill ???

Answer  

1.  Zero GST goods

                The value remains Rs 400 as there is no GST 

2.  5% GST 

               Value       Rs 300

                GST calculation  =  5% of 300

                                                     5/100   * 3೦0

                                                     15

                 Total value      300  +  15  =   315  Rs

3.     18%  GST

              Value     Rs  900

               GST calculation    =   18% of GST 

                                                        18/100       *  900

                                                         162

                Total value       900  +   162   =    1062  Rs

Value                           GST                     Total Bill

400                                0                             400

500                               15                             515

900                               162                           1062

Total bill   =    400  +  515   +  1062      =   1977    Rs          

Why does homemade curd turns slimy during monsoon ???

  During monsoon, homemade curd turns slimy because of WRONG BACTERIA   !!!

Good curd bacteria needs warmth. In monsoon it is cooler so it grows slow.

When its cool and wet in air, slime making bacteria grows faster. It makes a sticky, thread like substance over curd.

To avoid this, always keep the  curd in warm place.
