Why do Indian trains come in different colours ???

 The different colours of train coaches are not chosen at random  !!!

They are the part of well thought system that helps passengers and railway staff to identify the type and function of each coach.

Such different colours are  -----

1.  Blue color 

                 Blue colour is the most common colour seen on Indian railway coaches.  It was replaced by earlier maroon colour as part of modernization.

                 Blue colour is used for sleeper and general coaches.

2.  Maroon colour 

                  Maroon colour was widely in use before replaced by blue  !!!  It is still used in some old trains.

3.  Green colour 

                      Green coaches are typically for garib rath trains  !!!  Garib rath trains offer affordable air conditioned travel.

4.  Red or rust colour 

                       These coaches usually indicate air conditioned classes such as AC chair car or AC sleeper.

5.  Yellow stripes and markings 

                       These feature special purpose coaches such as brake vans, parcel vans or coaches with specific operational roles.      

Why watermelon fruit must not be eaten as soon the lunch is over ??

 Few days back, there was a news report :  4 people died after eating watermelon fruit after having biryani  !!!

I wondered fruits are good for health.  But in this case, fruit itself has become the reason for death  !!!

But only watermelon shouldn't be eaten as soon after having lunch.  

WHY    ???

Having water melon fruit after lunch slows down digestive process.

I will explain how  ??

Watermelon gets digested quickly just after 20 to 30 minutes after consuming it.

But it takes nearly 2 to 3 hours for the lunch to get digest.

These digested and undigested food overlap with each other resulting in producing gas in the stomach.

To digest food we have eaten , stomach produces hydrochloric acid.  But having watermelon which is high in water content slows down digesting process.

Because of this, body is unable to absorb the nutrients from food.  

In simple terms, having watermelon soon after lunch results in production of gas and poisonous stuff.

Its not that we must not have watermelon fruit  !!!

But one hour before food or in empty stomach, watermelon fruit can be eaten.

Drinking water as soon as eating watermelon results in dilution of digestive enzymes.  Better to have the water after 20-30 minutes after consuming water melon. 

Why there is a small pocket above right side pocket in jeans pant ??

 Many of us have observed the small picket above the right side pocket of a jeans pant.

Many of us don't know why it is there   ??!!

I thought it is meant to put coins as they are difficult to hold  !!!

Real reason -----

The jeans themselves were designed by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis in late 19th century.

They were originally made  for miners and working men, so they were really durable.

When the jeans were invented, there were no wrist watches.  People used to carry pocket watch.

When miners are working, there was no safe place to keep them. 

So, this little pocket was designed to keep these pocket watches safely.

Though nowadays we don't use pocket watches,  that tradition is still going on  !!!!

Bheja Fry Question

 This question I found on internet.

Question 

If             1     +       1         =       8

               2       +        2        =        64

Then       3        +      3         =         ????

Answer 

These type of questions follow a certain format.

Now  we know  1   +   1    =  2

But here it is given as  1  +  1  =   8

                             ==>>       1  +  1  =   2^3

Now       2   +  2  =  4

But given    2  +  2   =   64

       ==>>       2  + 2    =   4^3

Now question is  3  +  3  = ??

We know   3  +  3  =  6

Following the same logic,  3 + 3 =  6

                  ==>>    3  +  3  =  6 ^3  =  216    !!!!

Place where the Sun rises twice a day ...

 Everyone knows that Sun rises in the East only once,...

But in this village,  Sun rises twice a day   .....!!!!

Rimetea village in Romania sees the Sun rises twice a day.

It is not a myth but a natural phenomenon.

This happens due to Rimetea's unique terrain and mountain alignment.

This natural phenomenon occurs mainly during Summer specially in the month of July.

The reasons are   ----

1.  Rimetea sits at the foot of a  tall limestone massif.

2.   At dawn, Sun appears above the horizon for a short time.

3.  As the Sun moves, it disapears behind the mountains.

4.  A few minutes later, Sun reappears creating the illusion of second sunrise.

These mountains temporarily block sunlight despite the Sun being above the horizon..
