It is best to avoid drinking it !!!!
Main reason is presence of plastic.
Drinking water from a plastic bottle exposed to heat for long periods can lead to release of harmful chemicals. These chemicals may interfere with hormonal balance and pose serious health hazards.
When we take a sip from the bottled water, our saliva introduces bacteria.
A warm environment accelerates bacterial growth, turning the bottle into breeding ground for gems.
Consuming such water regularly can cause stomach discomfort and digestive issues.
To avoid all these ---
1. Its better to carry an insulated bottle.
2. Eat water rich foods.

Itanagar is the capital of Arunachal Pradesh.

Till then, Shillong was the common capital to both Assam and Meghalaya.
Shillong is the correct answer,

Nuts go rancid because they contain healthy fats that are prone to oxidation.
When nuts are left out in the open, they are exposed to light, air and heat. This causes the fats to break down.
This oxidation makes the nuts to taste off and they lose their nutrient value.
This process speeds up in warmer climate.
We can store nuts in freezer.
The cold and dark environment found in freezer slows down the oxidation process.
Make sure to store them away from strong smelling foods.

Question
Which piece used in chess, move straight but attacks sideways ??
1. King
2. Rook
3. Bishop
4. Pawn
Answer
To answer this question, we need the understanding of chess movements.
Since my nephew Aniruddha has made me familiar with chess movements ,
I can answer this without any problem !!!
Now we will look at how the king moves.
We don't play with King in the beginning of the game !!!
King starts to move when he got attacked means check mated.
King moves to save his life !!!
King is allowed to move one space in all the 4 directions.
King rarely attacks !!!
So option King is ruled out .....
Now coming to the movement of rook
Rook moves horizontally and vertically but don't attack sideways.
Rook is ruled out.....
Now coming to the movement of bishop
Bishop moves sideways cant move straight
Bishop is ruled out ......
Now remaining is pawn
Let's look at movements of pawn
Pawns move 2 spaces front in the first move and later only one space straight front.
Pawns attack other pieces diagonally or sideways.
Answer PAWNS !!!!

On Earth, magnetic field of our planet, points a compass north.
But what about space ???
A compass would technically work in space.
It would point to the North pole of whatever magnetic field is the strongest.
It depends on where in space the compass is located.
A compass on Earth always responds to magnetic field of the planet.
Compass itself is a magnet and its north pole naturally aligns with South Pole of Earth's own magnetic field.
The region around the planet dominated by planet's own magnetic field is known as magnetosphere.
Of all the planets in solar system, a compass is most likely to point towards planet Jupiter.
Jupiter's magnetosphere is massive.
Suppose if we are not within a planet's magnetosphere ???
Most of space is seemingly empty.
But within our solar system, one magnetosphere dwarfs all others.
THAT IS OF SUN'S !!!!!
This is because Sun's solar wind carries its own faint magnetic field as it blasts out into the solar system.

Father gets scared of punishment from the king and kills himself.
Beere decides to continue the work of his father.
He works in Karkala to sculpt the statue of Gommata.
King was happy with the work of Beere and decides to falicitate him personally.
But the king cut off one leg and one hand of Beere so that he will not be able to work anywhere else.
Meanwhile, Kalamma was getting anxious.
Years passed but her brother didn't return.
So Kalamma went in search of her brother and finds him suffering without a hand and leg.
She gets emotional after meeting her brother.

Audience gave majority of votes to Vietnam !!!
I thought why Vietnam has come into picture ??
It could be China...... But not Vietnam !!!!
But correct answer is Vietnam !!!
I did some surfing of internet and noted down these facts .
Vietnam abolished its decades old policy in June 2025 to combat declining birthrates and address the challenge of ageing population.

Smartphones have tiny hole next to charging port. It contains one more microphone.
Modern smartphones come with more than one microphone.
Apart from the main mic that records our voice , there are extra mics that capture background sounds.
These unwanted background noises are removed allowing user to have a clear conversion.
Microphone will be near the charging port. It will capture voice clearly as it is nearer to mouth.
Having multiple microphones boosts overall performance helping with noise cancellation.
