Indian railways is a vast network that connects major cities, smaller towns and remote villages.
It supports the movement of both people and goods.
UTTAR PRADESH is the Indian state with highest number of railway stations.
According to media reports, Uttar Pradesh has more than 1000 railway stations.
Prayagraj is the key railway station in the state that handles thousands of passengers everyday.
Indian railways is also a major employer.
IT IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION !!!
Each hair follicle operates independently. It can produce only one hair at a time.
There is no biological mechanism that would trigger surrounding follicles to produce grey hair just because we plucked one !!!
Plucking one grey hair won't unleash hell. But it may cause more harm than good.
When we pull the hair, it causes trauma to hair follicle. As a result, hair we are pulling may just never come back.
That's why it is not advisable.
Domestic LPG gas cylinders are painted red for safety and high visibility.
The red colour is internationally recognized as danger colour ensuring it is easily spotted and handled with care.
As red has the longest wavelength in visual light spectrum, it makes it easily noticeable even from distance, in low light also.
Red colour alerts the people to the highly inflammable nature of LPG.
Red colour distinguishes domestic cylinders from other types such as blue which is the colour of commercial gas cylinder.

These are the reasons why we feel exhaust during a road trip when we ourselves drive.
1. Staying alert
When we are behind the wheels, we are responsible for navigating through traffic and being alert all time which causes exhaustion.
2. Physical strain
Driving requires a range of physical movements from gripping the steering wheel to pressing pedals. This causes exhaustion.
3. Limited freedom
On a road trip, we are unable to stretch our legs or take a break. We feel restricted and unable to relax.
4. Mental fatigue
5. Lack of control
We are exposed to unpredictable road conditions and other driver's action when we are driving. This causes stress.

This question may seem really weird.
Because everyone know that silver medal is awarded to person who has scored second place and bronze medal for the one who scored third place. Correct ???
So, we think person who got silver medal must be happier than bronze medallist.
But it is not so....... !!!!!
Let me explain.
How does one scores silver medal ?
He scores a silver medal when he loses the final match !!!!!
Suppose if he wins that match, he would be awarded gold medal.
But he could not.
That's why he got silver medal as he lost the match !!!!!
This fact gives him inferiority feeling.
He would not be happy instead sad.
Now coming to the case of bronze medallist,
He is happy that at least he got this much !!!!
Always bronze medallist happier...,

A beggar who was staying at Himalayan had visited a kingdom nearby.
When the king heard of the beggar he was curious to know how he is managed to live in such extreme cold conditions.
Beggar said he got adjusted to such cold conditions as he had no other options.
Listening to that king felt very bad and he assured the beggar that he will provide him with some warm clothes during night.
Soon after saying that, king got busy with his work and he totally forgot about the beggar.
Beggar stood outside the palace thinking that king is going to help him as he promised
That night was very cold . Beggar spent the night sitting outside the palace.
King was tired doing his work and he also went to bed without thinking of beggar.
When it was next day morning , King observed the beggar who is sitting in front of palace.
Beggar was totally frozen and unconscious because of the cold conditions and he was treated immediately.
King was surprised because beggar who spent his days in Himalayas, was frozen and unconscious for the cold conditions !! !!!
He asked his doubt with beggar who later regained consciousness.
Beggar said,
" I was self confident that I can tolerate the cold conditions till you offered me help of providing warm clothes.
The unwanted help from you lowered my self confidence level.
Moral : Unwanted help is always injurious to self confidence.

This bheja fry question is the easiest.
Question
Complete the series
12 , 17 , 23 , 30, 38 , ???
Answer
I named brain teasers as bheja fry questions !!!
Brain teasers always follow certain type of series.
If we come to know what is the format of series , it is very easy to solve the problem.
Like in above problem,

3. Arunachal Pradesh
4. Nagaland
Answer
To answer this question, we must have a good knowledge of Indian map.
If we look at the option, we can see it is naming the countries with which the questioned Indian state sharing border with.
It was given countries are China Bhutan Myanmar.
China and Bhutan are at the northern side of India.
Obviously, the Indian state which is sharing border with these countries has to be in the northern side of India !!!
By looking at options, out of given 4 states, only Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh are at the northern side.
Sikkim shares border with China and Bhutan but not with Myanmar !!!!
So remaining option is Arunachal Pradesh .......
It shares border with China, Bhutan and longest border with Myanmar.
Answer ARUNACHAL PRADESH !!!!
We usually connect swimming with animals that live in water.
But nature does not stick to labels.
Some animals who spend most of their time on land, can also swim when the situation calls for it !!!!
Such animals are -----
1. Bats
2. Camels
3. Cats
4. Elephants
When it come as the question of life and death, everyone suddenly transform into good swimmers !!!!
While we lost body hair to improve cooling through sweat,we retained hair on scalp.
It is primarily to protect the brain from overheating and to conserve water.
When our ancestors began walking upright, the top of the head became the part of the body most consistently exposed to intense midday sun.
Scalp hair acts as follicular helmet reflecting solar radiation away from the head.
Though sweating is the effective cooling method, it comes at a high cost which is loss of water !!!
By shielding the scalp from direct sunlight, hair reduces the amount of sweat needed to keep the head cool.
In many of these regions, land is a community resource tied to survival.
The limitations in external ownership help prevent demographic shifts and protects indigenous population.
Such restricted states are ----
1. Arunachal Pradesh
2. Nagaland
3. Mizoram
4. Sikkim
5. Manipur
6. Himachal Pradesh
7. Uttaraknand
The answer begins high above the earth, in the invisible belt of air that circles the globe.
Much of the middle east sits between 20 to 30 degrees North of the equator.
Here part of global air circulation system comes into play.
Warm air raises near the equator. Travels northward high in atmosphere, sinks back down over subtropics.
When air sinks rather than rising, it gets compressed, warms and dries out.
Warm air holds moisture instead of releasing it. This makes cloud formation difficult.
Without clouds, there is no rain !!!
This phenomena happened for thousands of years.
This turned Arabian peninsula into one of world's greatest deserts.
The same dry belt is responsible for Sahara in Africa and northern desert parts of Australia.
But near Iran and Turkey, geography changes !!!
The mountains found here acts like walls. When moist air from near by seas move inland, these mountains force it to go upwards.
As the air climbs, it gets cooler. Cooler air releases moisture as rain and snow.
Suddenly valley turns green and rivers start to flow !!!
Deserts dominate large part of Arabian peninsula because of global wind patterns, whereas Iran and Turkey look different because mountain catches the rain and softens the climate.
Baby elephants called " calves " have many cute habits.
They take a very long time to born and they are bigger than any other new born animals !!!
Baby elephants often use their trunk for comfort. Just like human babies suck their thumb, baby elephants suck their trunk !!!
Baby elephants weigh 90 - 130 kilos at birth making them heaviest newborns on land !!!
Mother elephant is pregnant for nearly 2 years !!! This long time helps the baby to grow fully and be strong enough to survive.
Baby elephants don't know how to use their trunk properly !!! In the beginning they swing it clumsily and sometimes even trip over it !!!
Baby elephants spend a loi of time playing with each other.

Cost of LPG in our area is nearing Rs 1,000 per cylinder of domestic use !!!!
Price of LPG ( Liquified Petroleum Gas ) is not the same all around the world
LPG is an important fuel used for cooking and heating in many Indian houses.
Its price play a big role in families who depend on that for everyday work.
Countries who have strong oil and gas production, provide LPG in cheaper rates to their citizens as they do not depend much on imports.
Such countries are ---
1. Algeria
2. Angola
3. Saudi Arabia
4. Russia
5. Azerbaijan
Recently American troops had destroyed Kharg island which is the main crude oil site of Iran.
Kharg island in Persian Gulf is also known as " orphan of the Pearl ".
It got its name because of these reasons -----
1. Solitary isolation
This island is separated and detached from Iranian mainland like a Pearl that had lost its oyster !!!!
2. Island's natural beauty is overlooked for modern oil trade.
Kharg island handles 90-95% of Iranian crude oil exports.
Joint cracking is usually harmless and linked to everyday body mechanics.
In most cases , noise comes from the gas bubbles in joint fluid or the movement of tendons and ligaments over bones.
Release of gas bubbles trapped within joint fluid is the main reason for noise. There will be the formation of gas filled cavities within the joint fluid.
This fluid naturally contains gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. When the joint is stretched, bend or twisted, the pressure inside joint capsule changes.
This causes the gas bubbles to burst. This sudden change in pressure produces pop sound.
A ligament or tendon occasionally slip out of its normal position and then snap back to place creating a pop sound.
This is usually harmless.
World's longest mountain range is completely underwater and called MID OCEAN RIDGE.
It stretches for more than 65,000 kms !!!
It covers around 23% of Earth's surface.
Iceland is the only place where ridge has come above sea level.
It has caused one of strongest underwater earthquakes.
I had read the report that ship carrying LPG has crossed Hormuz strait few days ago.
Today it has reached India !!!
We are in a gas emergency condition and why the ships carrying LPG are coming so slowly ??!!
Ships move slowly because of the extreme physical resistance of water and the massive cost of trying to overcome it.
Moving through water is extremely difficult compared to moving through air.
Water is 800 times more denser than air !!! This creates immense hydrodynamic drag that pushes against ship's hull.,
The power required to move a ship increases at cubic rate relatively to its speed. This means if we want to double the speed of the ship, we need 8 times more engine power !!!!
As ship moves, it must physically push water out of it's way. To go faster, ship requires colossal amount of energy.
That's why for most commercial shipping, speed is sacrificed for carrying capacity and fuel efficiency.
Because of their vast size, stopping and turning takes long time and higher speeds make this much more dangerous,.......
The Carcross desert located near Carcross in Yukon, Canada is the world's smallest desert.
It is technically a series of sand dunes, spanning about 1 square Mile.
Technically, some scientists say it is not a " true " desert because the rainfall is very high.
Its a sub Arctic environment receiving significant precipitation making it much wetter than typical hot deserts.
It is actually a sandy bottom of a drained glacier lake from last ice age !!!
We know that 100 paise for 1 rupee.
But I am talking about in the year 1954 , how many paise for 1 rupee ??
1. 50 paise
2. 32 paise
3. 64 paise
4. 48 paise
When this question was asked on koun banega karodpati program, I was just clueless !!!!
Nowadays, inflation is much more higher that we have demonetised the paisa from year 2011.
In 1957, India adopted decimal system for its currency. Before to that, one rupee was divided into 16 annas.
==>> 16 annas = 64 paise
==>> 1 anna = 4 paise
Before to 1957 , 1 rupee == 64 paise
Answer 64 paise !!!!
This Bheja Fry question I found on Internet.
It may look small and easy, but trust me it is not !!!
Question
If 5 + 3 = 28
9 + 1 = 810
8 + 6 = 214
Then 7 + 4 = ???
Answer
We know 5 + 3 = 8. But here it is given that it is 28 !!!!
Before going to next line, we must come to know on what basis, 5 + 3 s 28
Since it is a brain teaser, we can apply all the mathematical function in whatever the way we want to get the answer !!!!
We know 5 - 3 = 2
And 5 + 3 = 8
Putting these two results side by side, we get
5 + 3 = 28 !!!!
Now similarly, 7 + 4 = 311.
When we think of a planet with rings, we always think of planet Saturn.
But Saturn is not the only planet that have rings.
I can say Saturn is not the only celestial body with rings in our solar system !!!
All the 4 gas giants, Jupier Saturn Uranus and Neptune have rings surrounding them.
Rings are mostly made of ice, dust and small rocks.
Saturn's rings are made of ice.
Jupiter's rings are made of dust.
Uranus and Neptune's rings are made of both.
Dust rings appear much fainter than ice rings. Thus making harder for us to see.
These many planets have rings around them and these rings are not permanent eventually they get vanish.
Not only these planets, some dwarf planets and asteroids too have ring system !!!
Dwarf planets -----
1. Haumea
It is a dwarf planet in Kuiper belt has rings.
2. Quaoar
Another dwarf planet in Kuiper belt having rings.
Asteroids with rings or moon
1. Chariklo
It is a centaur asteroid having two rings.
2. Some asteroids have moon or binary companion.
These are the most hated countries -----
1. China ( obviously )
2. United States of America
3. Russia
4. North Korea
5. Pakistan
6. Iran
7. Iraq
8. Syria
9. Israel
What we need
1. Cotton bud
2. Lamp
3. Plain white paper
4. Bowl having lemon juice
Experiment
1. Take the bowl having lemon juice.
2. Dip the cotton bud in the mixture and use it to write something on the white paper.
3. Allow the paper to dry.
4. Now no one can read what we have written on the paper !!!!
What happened
1. Secret message can be revealed when we hold the paper, close to light bulb.
2. Lemon juice contains carbon compounds which are colourless at room temperature.
3. The heat from the light bulb breaks down these compounds and releases the carbon.
4. Carbon oxidises when it comes into contact with the air and turns brown.
5. Thus our invisible message becomes visible to every one !!!!!
We all know about Strait of Hormuz which is now blocked by Iran thereby making the oil and gas supply to the world difficult.
But here I am not talking about strait of Hormuz !!!
I am talking about Hormuz island which has one of the most unique beaches in the world which is known as " blood beach ".
The sand on Hormuz beach takes on a deep red shade due to high iron oxide content.
This mineral rich soil gives the coast line its blood red appearance !!!!
Locals refer to this sand as " gelak ".
Its pigmentation is so intense that it can stain the skin for days !!!
Some sand grains even react to magnets.
This sand is a critical ingredient of Iranian cuisine.
No..... No........
Residents don't eat this sand in its powdary form !!!
Rather they use it as a spice.........
This sand is also used in dyeing fabrics and colouring pottery.

I came across this Bheja Fry question on internet.
Question
If 1 + 3 = 4
2 + 4 = 10
3 + 5 = 18
Then 4 + 6 = ???
Answer
1 + 3 = 4 ( given )
2 + 4 = 6 but 10 ( given )
3 + 5 = 8 but 18 ( given )
If we see the differences between the actual and given answers, we can say that each time the difference is getting increased by 6 , 8........
If we follow the same pattern, the next difference should be 10.
==>> 4 + 6 = 28 actually it is 10
So 1 + 3 = 4
2 + 4 = 10
3 + 5 = 18
4 + 6 = 28

Mandodari is wife of Ravana.
There is a story behind her birth.
In the forest, there lived a group of sages.
Early in the morning, they were getting up. They were looking after some cows.
Morning they were milching the cows. They were collecting the milk in big cans.
Before going to nearby river, they were keeping the milk to boil.
The milk would be ready for use as soon as they return from the river.
A frog which was living in the nearby tree, was watching all these.
It was the daily routine.
But one day, sages have kept the milk to boil and went to river.
That time, an eagle carried a poisonous snake in its beak and sat on the tree branch which was above the boiling milk.
As the eagle was killing the snake, the drops of poison from it's body dropped down and got mixed up with boiling milk.
Frog was watching all these and it got scared that sages are going to drink this poisonous milk when they return.
Frog noticed that sages are coming and in order to keep them away from drinking poisonous milk, frog jumped on the bowl of milk.
Seeing the dead frog in the milk bowl, sages just spilled the poisonous milk to ground.
But they soon figured out what had happened and felt sympathy for the dead frog.
They made the frog to live again and blessed the frog to become a beautiful girl.
That girl is Mandodari.
