My note- I have included this simple QAfor the reason just as coincidence,item 1 and 3 I could watch in two teleserials in Malayalam yesterday. Q2 What are some mysterious Indiantemples? A2 JAIMAA VAISHNO DEVI,Updated Jan 13 10. Panakala Narasimha Swamy temple,Andhra Pradesh. The Narasimha here is offeredPanakala (Jaggery water) which is poured directly into the mouth of the deityby a conch. One can hear agargling sound as the jaggery water is offered which becomes highpitched, then lowers. The most mysterious thing is that nota single ant comes there and half the jaggery water spills out which is offeredas prasad to the devotees. 9.Jagannath temple, Odisha. The main idol of this temple isbelieved to host the real heart of Krishna.And this temple is filled withmysterious phenomena. The temple hosts the biggest megakitchen in the world. The most mysterious fact about the temple is that thefood in this temple is always cooked by stacking pots one over the other and the topmost pot always gets cooked first. 8.Chottanikarai Bhagavathi temple, Kerala. Though the main Goddess of thistemple is Lakshmi, this temple is famous for exorcism and mental treatment. This temple hosts a mysterious tree andthe temple's Guruthi puja starts 08:45 at evening. It is believed that GoddessLakshmi in the form of Bhadrakali destroys all evil forces and washesher axe in the temple pond which turns the entire pond blood red in the lightof the temple. My note- There are two templesin Chottanikkara, in the same premises, and this temple is called Keezhe kkavu. 7.Mahakaleshwar temple, Madhya Pradesh The Jyotirlinga of this temple isconsidered the only true Jyotirlinga. Here Mahakaleshwar is addressed asMahakaleshwar Maharaj and is considered as the only KING OF UJJAIN. When any officer or king or government administrator stays in Ujjainfor a night he/she loses her power and administrative status which is amystery. 6.Rameshwar temple, Tamilnadu People come here to get liberated andpay homage to their departed ancestors. But the mysterious fact is that the Agni Thirtham beach wheredevotees do the last rituals of the departed souls has no waves. Thereis a popular legend that Lord Ram ordered the Lord of the Bay of Bengal to bequiet and not disturb any devotees who come here. My note- Not being very clean or for some other reasons most sasthrikalshave a selected room near it where Mahasamkalpam is done nowadays. After thatbath is in the bathing Ghat, but having small waves. 5.Shani Shingnapur temple, Maharasthra. This temple is the most populartemple of Shani Dev in India. The black stone of the temple is worshipped asShani Dev. There are no doors and windows in anyhome in Shani Shingnapur village and no theft occurs. Even there is no door inthe local bank and the toilets do not have any door but only a curtain. It is apopular belief that whoever tries to steal or do a crime will be punishedseverely by Shani. My note- I had been to Shingnapur, a few years back. Bankentrance is not locked. Security rooms are locked. Some houses have doors alsonear the temple as I could watch. So the statement is not 100% correct. 4.Venkateshwar temple, Andhra Pradesh.

A3 HafizSuboor,22h 25% of the cholesterol in your body resides in your brain and 60% of thebrain is fat Size doesn't matter. Einstein's brainwas 1.2 kg: 10% smaller than average The brain contains 2% of body weightyet it still consumes 20% of the body's energy production Ittakes five positive things to outweigh a single negative thing.Our brains have something called a "Negative Bias"that makes us remember bad news more than the good ones. Babieshave big heads to hold rapidly growing brains. A 2-year-old's brain is 80% ofthe adult size The left side of your brain (lefthemisphere) controls the right side of your body: and, the right side of yourbrain (right hemisphere) controls the left side of your body Our brains are getting smaller. They are the size of a tennisball - smaller than they were 10,000-20,000 years ago Every time your heart beats, yourarteries carry 20-25% of your blood to your brain. The harder you think, themore oxygen your brain will use. Your brain consumes about 20 watts ofpower: enough to illuminate a very dim light bulb Theneocortex (language and consciousness) accounts for 76% of the brain's mass 95% of your decisions take part in the subconscious mind Your brain contains 100 billionneurons: about 16 times the number of people on earth Men's brains are generally 10% bigger than women's brains Women have more grey matter and alarger hippocampus (involved in emotional processing) than men Your brain keeps developing until your late 40's Second brain: Your gut contains100,000 neurons (the enteric nervous system). Gut bacteria maker over 30neurotransmitters, including serotonin. Experts agree thatthere is more we don't know about the brain than we currently know. Every time you recall a memory orhave a new thought, you create a connection in the brain. There are no pain receptors in thebrain, so the brain can feel no pain. Reading aloud and talking often to ayoung child promotes brain development There are about 100,000 miles ofblood vessels in the brain. Q4 How were Ramanujan's equations used toexplain black holes? A4 “SilkRoad”, AI Expert19h Ramanujan was a brilliant mathematicianwho came up with some amazing formulas that are still relevant today. One of his last discoveries was a connection betweentwo types of mathematical functions: modular forms and mock modular forms. Modular forms are like waves thathave a lot of symmetry and patterns, while mock modular forms are morecomplicated and chaotic. But Ramanujan noticed that they hadsomething in common: when you plug in the square root of -1 (alsoknown as i) into both of them, you get very similar results. This is importantbecause it turns out that mock modular forms can help us understand one of themost mysterious objects in the universe: black holes. Black holes have a lot of entropy, whichmeans they are very disordered and unpredictable. But using Ramanujan's mock modularforms, physicists can calculate the entropy of black holes more accurately andeasily. Ramanujan claimedthat he got his inspiration from a Hindu goddess named Namagiri, who wouldreveal mathematical secrets to him in his dreams. He didn't have a formal proof for hisclaim, but he was confident that it was true. He wrote a letter to hismentor, G.H. Hardy, explaining his discovery shortly before he died in 1920. It took almost a century for othermathematicians to verify his intuition and find a rigorous proof. Ramanujan'sequations are an example of how pure mathematics can have unexpectedapplications in physics and cosmology. They also show how a creative mindcan transcend the boundaries of conventional logic and discover new truths. Q5 How can 20-year-olds enhance theirintelligence? A5 ShivamRajbhar,1 years working experience science Oct 3 While writing Principia Mathematica, Isaac Newton used to forget to eat,sleep and bathe. While painting, Michelangelo forgotto sleep for days. Were these two intelligent? — Theywere geniuses. But there are many people withhigh-intelligence who are losers. Why? Because they don’t tapinto their potential. Intellegence is a natural ability toacquire and apply knowledge. Despite your IQ score, learn to apply yourpotential which these geniuses did.

Letgo of the idea of discipline, struggle, effort for flow. The more you strivefor flow, the further you move away from it. Letgo of your expectations regarding your performance. Allow yourself to makemistakes. Onceyou remove these, you will dissolve your ego and anxiety. You will tap intoyour potential. The performance will over-flowinstead of you squeezing for it.Instead of aiming to increase your intelligence, tap into your existingpotential.
