ಈಗ ಮಾವಿನ ಹಣ್ಣಿನ ಸೀಸನ್.
ಈಗ ನಾನು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿರವ ವಿಧಾನ ಹುಳಿ ಮಾವಿನ ಹಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ್ದು.
ನಮ್ಮ ಕಡೆ ಕಾಟು ಮಾವಿನ ಹಣ್ಣು ಅಂತ ಸಿಗ್ತದೆ. ತುಂಬಾ ಹುಳಿ. ಹಾಗೆ ಸಿಪ್ಪೆ ತೆಗೆದು ತಿನ್ನಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವೇ ಇಲ್ಲ.
ಅಂಥ ಮಾವಿನ ಹಣ್ಣು ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದಾಗ, ಒಟ್ಟು ಮೂರು ನಾಲ್ಕು ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದಾಗ ಈಥರ ಖಾರ ಖಾರ ಜ್ಯೂಸು ಮಾಡಬಹುದು.
ಬೇಕಾಗುವ ಸಾಮಗ್ರಿಗಳು
ಕಾಟು ಮಾವಿನ ಹಣ್ಣು 3 ರಿಂದ 4
ಉಪ್ಪು ರುಚಿಗೆ
ಬೆಲ್ಲ ರುಚಿಗೆ
ಹಸಿಮೆಣಸಿನಕಾಯಿ ಖಾರಕ್ಕೆ ತಕ್ಕಂತೆ
ಮಾಡುವ ವಿಧಾನ
ಮೊದಲೇ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ ಈ ಜ್ಯೂಸು ಹುಳಿ ಮಾವಿನ ಹಣ್ಣಿನ ಸಲುವಾಗಿ ಮಾಡುದು.
ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಬೆಲ್ಲ ಬೇಕೇ ಬೇಕು.
ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಹುಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಿನ್ನುವುದು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ.
ಚೂರು ಬೆಲ್ಲ ಹಾಕಲೇಬೇಕು.
ಮೊದಲಿಗೆ ಮಾವಿನಹಣ್ಣಿನ ತಿರುಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದು ಇಟ್ಟುಕೊಳ್ಳ ಬೇಕು.
ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಉಪ್ಪು, ಬೆಲ್ಲ ರುಚಿಗೆ ತಕ್ಕಷ್ಟು ಸೇರಿಸಬೇಕು
ನಂತರ ಖಾರಕ್ಕೆ ತಕ್ಕಂತೆ ಹಸಿ ಮೆಣಸಿನಕಾಯಿ ಜ್ಯೂಸ್ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ನುರ್ಪಬೇಕು.
ನೀರು ಸೇರಿಸುವ ಅಗತ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ.
ಹೊರಗೆ ಮಳೆ ಬರುತ್ತಿವಾಗ ಈ ಖಾರ ಜ್ಯೂಸು ನಮ್ಮ ನಾಲಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ಚುರುಗುಟ್ಟಿ ಸುವುದು ಗ್ಯಾರೆಂಟಿ !!!

Gravitational force is caused because of the interaction between two masses.
When an object with mass is placed within the Earth's gravitational field, the two masses interact.
The Earth's gravitational field pulls the object towards its center while the object's gravitational field pulls the Earth towards its center !!!!
Since object mass is negligible compared to the mass of Earth, object's gravitational pull is also negligible.
More massive size is the object, stronger gravitational force it experiences.
Closer the object to the center of Earth, more gravitational pull it experiences.
On Earth, gravitational force is what keeps us wnd objects on ground. It makes things fall and it holds atmosphere in its place.

Flamingos are a type of wading birds found throughout America and Eurosia.
Flamingos are not pink at birth.
They develop the pink colour after a diet of brine shrimp and blue - green algae.
They consume algae which can be dangerous to many animals.
Flamingos are able to process these harmful chemicals in their liver breaking them into pigments.
These pigments eventually stain their feathers, skin, mucus membrane, egg yolk and fat.

Terrorists can not do all these things without the help of local Kashmiri people.

That time, his sister called him and pleaded near him to surrender to Indian army.
But terrorist refused and said let the Indian army come, he is not scared of them.
As soon as he finished the line, he was shot dead !!!
Bravo Indian armed forces.....
I had read in newspapers that, Israeli and US armed forces do like this to trace down most wanted terrorists.
But our armed forces are becoming masters !!!
Whole video reminded me of a Hollywood thriller movie .....

What is a moon ??
Moon is an object that is in an orbit around a larger, non stellar object.
There are quasi moons, mini moons and also moonlets which are all natural but they are temporary and do not truly orbit planets.
The international astronomical union officially recognises,
416 planetary moons orbiting the solar system's 8 planets.
There are further 507 small body satellites. These are the moons of asteroids and dwarf planets.
This will bring the total of natural satellites of solar system to 923 .

Recently I came across this question
SOFT = 6153
FOOT = 4112
ZONE = ???
Answer
When I read this question, I figured out that o is 1.
But T changed it value from 3 to 2.
Rest alphabets I could not think of any logic.
I didn't wasted time searching for answer.
I had a look at the given answer.
It is like this......
We will write the value of number in words and assign the first letter of the word from 0 onwards......
First letter of word zero = z = 0
First letter of word one = o = 1
First letter of words two and three = t = 2 and 3
First letter of word four and five = f = 4 and 5
First letter of word six and seven = s = 6 and 7
First letter of word eight = e = 8
First letter of word nine = n = 9
According to the above chart,
ZONE = 0198 !!!
Yesterday only, I came to know that name of the air defense system of India is Sudarshana Chakra..
Sudarshana Chakra has successfully downed the missiles and drones launched by Pakistan.
It acted as the protections shield.
I wondered Why did they named it as Sudarshana Chakra ??

That time, for the safety of his citizens he has ordered Sudarshana Chakra to safeguard the city.
History repeats itself !!!
Sudarshana Chakra is still safeguarding Indians from missile attacks and drones of enemies.
This question was asked on Koun Banega Karodpati program.
Question
Which of these is lesser than centimeter ??
1. Decimeter
2. Millimeter
3. Kilometer
4. Meter
Answer
This question really needs mathematical knowledge !!!!
We know cm is 10 to the power of -2 meters.
Now we have to find out which one is lesser than cm.
We will take meter as standard reference.
Option 3 is kilometer.
==>> kilometer = 10 to the power of +3 meters.
==>> +3 is higher than -2.
Kilometer is ruled out.
Option 1 is decimeter
==>> decimeter = 10 to the power of -1 meters.
==>> -1 is higher than -2.
==>> We dont use the word decimeter for 1/10 .
Decimeter is ruled out.
We don't use decimeter much nowadays.
Option 2 is millimeter.
==>> millimeter = 10 to the power of -3.
==>> -3 is lower than -2.
==>> millimeter is lesser than centimeter.
Hence answer is millimetre.

It was Sudarshana Chakra who was responsible for the end of wicked people.
In the same way, India has announced operation Sindhoor against terrorists and their hide out.
