भारत के बारे में 12 ऐसे तथ्य जो मजाकिया होने के साथ सच भी हैं...

1.
भारत एक ऐसा देश है जो कई स्थानीय भाषाओं द्वारा विभाजित है और एक विदेशी भाषा द्वारा एकजुट है. 2. भारत में लोग ट्रैफिक सिग्नल की रेड लाइट पर भले ही ना रुकें, लेकिन अगर एक काली बिल्ली रास्ता काट जाए तो हजारों लोग लाइन में खड़े हो जाते हैं. अब तो लगता है ट्रैफिक पुलिस में भी काली बिल्लियों की भर्ती करनी पड़ेगी. 3. चीन अपनी सरकार की वजह से तरक्की कर रहा है 

और भारत में तरक्की ना होने का सबसे बड़ा कारण उसकी अपनी सरकारें ही रही हैं. 4. भारत का मतदाता वोट देने से पहले उम्मीदवार की जाति देखता है, न कि उसकी योग्यता. अब इन लोगों को कौन समझाये कि भाई तुम देश के लिए नेता ढूंढ रहे हो, न कि अपने लिए जीजा. 5. भारत एक ऐसा देश है, जहाँ एक्टर्स क्रिकेट खेल रहे हैं, क्रिकेटर्स राजनीति खेल रहे है, राजनेता पोर्न देख रहे हैं, और पोर्न स्टार्स एक्टर बन रहे हैं. 6.

भारत में आप जुगाड़ से करीब-करीब सब कुछ पा सकते हैं. 7. हम एक ऐसे देश में रहते हैं, जहाँ नोबेल शान्ति पुरस्कार मिलने से पहले लगभग कोई भारतीय नहीं जानता था कि कैलाश सत्यार्थी कौन है. लेकिन अगर एक रशियन टेनिस खिलाड़ी हमारे देश के एक क्रिकेटर को नहीं जानती तो ये हमारे लिए अपमान की बात है. 8. भारत गरीब लोगों का एक अमीर देश है, भारत की जनता ने दो फिल्मों, बाहुबली और बजरंगी भाईजान, पर 700 करोड़ खर्च कर दिए. 9. भारत में किसी अनजान से बात करना खतरनाक है, लेकिन किसी अनजान से शादी करना बिलकुल ठीक. 10. हम भारतीय अपनी बेटी की पढ़ाई से ज्यादा खर्च बेटी की शादी पे कर देते हैं. 11. हम एक ऐसे देश में रहते है, जहाँ एक पुलिसवाले को देखकर लोग सुरक्षित महसूस करने के बजाए घबरा जाते हैं. 12. हम भारतीय हेलमेट सुरक्षा के लिहाज से कम, चालान के डर से ज्यादा पहनते है

एक ऐसी कहानी जो बदल देगी आपकी ज़िन्दगी, छोड़ देंगे किस्मत को कोसना

एक ऐसी कहानी जो बदल देगी आपकी ज़िन्दगी, छोड़ देंगे किस्मत को कोसना

आपको एक ऐसी कहानी बताते है जिसको जानकर आप अपनी किस्मत को कोसना बंद कर देंगे. कहानी कुछ ऐसे है की किसी शहर में दो भाई रहते थे। उनमें से एक शहर का सबसे बड़ा बिजनेसमैन था तो दूसरा निठल्ला और शराबी था। वहा के लोगों को उन्हें देखकर अचर्ये होता था कि आखिर इन दोनों में इतना अंतर क्यों है?

जबकि दोनों एक ही माता-पिता की संताने हैं। एक जैसी ही शिक्षा प्राप्त की हैं और दोनों एक जैसे माहौल में ही पले-बढ़े हैं। कुछ लोगों ने इस बात का पता लगाने का निर्ह्य किया और शाम को भाइयों के घर पहुंच गए।

अंदर घुसते ही उन्हें शराब के नशे में धुत एक व्यक्ति दिखा। वे उसके पास गए और पूछा, भाई तुम ऐसे क्यों हो? तुम बेवजह लोगों से लड़ाई-झगड़ा क्यों करते हो? नशे में धुत होकर क्यों अपने बीवी-बच्चों को पीटते हो। आखिर ये सब करने की क्या वजह है?

मेरे पिता- भाई ने उत्तर दिया।

लोगों ने पूछा - वो कैसे?

भाई बोला, मेरे पिता शराबी थे। वे अक्सर मेरी मां और हम दोनों भाइयों को रोज पीटा करते थे। ऐसे में तुम लोग मुझसे क्या उम्मीद कर सकते हो? तो मैं भी वैसा ही हूं। फिर वे लोग दूसरे भाई के पास चले गए।

पड़ोस के लोगों ने इससे भी वही प्रश्न किया। आप इतने सम्मानित बिजनेसमैन हैं। सभी आपकी बड़ाई करते हैं। आखिर आपकी इसकी क्या वजह है?

उत्तर आया -मेरे पिता। लोगों ने आश्चर्य से देखते हुए पूछा, भला वो कैसे?

मेरे पिता शराबी थे। नशे में वो हमें रोज मारते-पीटते थे। तभी मैंने एक निर्णय कर लिया कि मैं ऐसा बिल्कुल भी नहीं बनना चाहता। और मैं नहीं बना। और इस भाई ने अपनी बात पूरी की।

आपको यह बात समझ में आई होगी की जीवन में जो कुछ भी घटता रहता है उसके दो पहलू होते हैं, एक अच्छा और दूसरा बुरा। हमे जरूरत इस बात की है कि हम अच्छे पर ध्यान दें और उसी से खुद के और दुसरो के लिए प्रेरणा लेने की कोशिश करें।

   • विकल्प के तौर पर, आप नमक के पानी से स्नान करके भी अपने शरीर को दुर्भाग्य से मुक्त कर सकते है। अपने नहाने के गर्म पानी में बस दो चमच्च नमक मिला लें।
     
   • दूसरा तरीका है हर कमरे के कोनों में और खिड़कियों के नीचे थोड़ा सा सी-साल्ट छिड़क दें। यह आपके घर को दुर्भाग्य से बचाएगा।

   टूटे हुए आईने के टुकड़ों को फेकें नहीं: अगर आपसे एक आइना टूट गया है तो कभी भी उसके टुकड़ों को फेकना नहीं चाहिये। यह आपके सौभाग्य में बाधक बनेगा और आपको सात वर्षों की लम्बी अवधि तक दुर्भाग्य का सामना करना पड़ेगा।

   • आप या तो सारे टुकड़ों को पीस कर उन्हें नष्ट कर सकते है। या आईने का एक बड़ा टुकड़ा (इतना बड़ा की उसमे प्रतिबिम्ब देख सके पर इतना बड़ा या पैना नहीं कि उससे आपको या किसी और को खतरा हो) अपने पास रख के अगले पूरे चाँद उगने तक प्रतीक्षा करें।
   • आपको चाँद के पूरा निकलने तक थोड़ा दुर्भाग्य तो झेलना पड़ेगा पर आप एक बार चाँद का प्रतिबिम्ब इस टुकड़े में लेकर उसे देखेंगे तो आपका दुर्भाग्य समाप्त हो जायेगा। फिर आप उस टुकड़े को कहीं गाड़ सकते है या उसे अपने पास रख सकते है।
   • सुगन्धित धूप जलाएं:नकारात्मक ऊर्जा और दुर्भाग्य से बचने के लिए सुगन्धित धूप जलाना एक प्रभावी उपाय है।
     
   • चन्दन या चमेली जैसी किसी तेज खुश्बू का उपयोग करें, और अगर आप एक से ज्यादा बत्तियां जला रहे है, तो सुनिश्चित करें कि आप सम संख्या की जगह विषम संख्यां में ही बत्तियां जलाये।
   • अगर आप अपने व्यक्तिगत जीवन में दुर्भाग्य का अनुभव कर रहे है, तो घर में सुगन्धित धूप जलाएं। जलती हुई बत्ती लेकर सारे कमरो में घूमे जिससे घर का हर कोना सुगन्धित धुएं से भर जाये।
   • अगर आप कार्यस्थल पर दुर्भाग्य का अनुभव कर रहे हैं, तो ऑफिस में सुगन्धित धूप जलाएं।

   • तिपतिया घास:सेल्टिक पौराणिक कथाओं में ताज़ी तिपतिया घास पहनना या चार पत्तियों वाली दुर्लभ घास पहनना अच्छा भाग्य लाने वाला माना जाता है।इसकी चार पत्तियां चार भाग्य बढ़ाने वाले गुणो धन, यश, प्रेम और स्वास्थ्य का प्रतिनिधित्व करती हैं।^[१]
     
   • घोड़े की नाल: घोड़े की नाल को भी भाग्य में वृद्धि का कारण माना जाता है, क्योंकि वो "बुरी नजर से" आपको बचाती हैं। सुरक्षा के लिए घर में एक घोड़े की नाल टाँगे या घोड़े की नाल के चिन्ह को चेन में पहन लें - सिर्फ यह सुनिश्चित करें की इसके सिरे ऊपर की तरफ रहें, अन्यथा सौभाग्य आपसे "दूर" जा सकता है।
     
   • खरगोश का पैर: कई संस्कृतियों में एक खरगोश के पैर को सौभाग्य लाने वाला माना जाता है। इसमें ध्यान रखने की बात ये है कि यह पिछला बांया पैर होना चाहिए। इसके अतिरिक्त सौभाग्य को सक्रिय करने के लिए इसे सहलाया और थपका जाना चाहिए।^[२]
     

List of Human Hormones and Their Importance

Hormones; we blame them for an awful lot. When a teenager acts out, "You know how those hormones are!" When a pregnant woman starts crying at a hot dog commercial, we claim, "Don’t mind her, it’s all those hormones." But how many people actually know what the hormones are that they are referring to? Blaming hormones for all of life’s problems has just become a habit instead of something that is really well known.

Some hormones you may have heard of and same may sound like gibberish. The functions of some are relatively easy to understand, while others require a science major. We’ve assembled a list of some of the more commonly known hormones that are responsible for some of the most major functions of the body. It’s about time we got to know the hormones that we place the blame on, and know which one is to blame for what, so that next time your moody teenager talks back, you’ll know the serotonin is to blame.

Melatonin – Think of melatonin as your biological clock. This hormone is responsible for the way you feel throughout the day as far as alertness is concerned. All those drowsy feelings? Blame the melatonin.

Serotonin – This is the one you can blame for PMS and your moody teenager. Serotonin controls your mood, appetite, and your sleep cycles.

Thyroxin – A form of thyroid hormone, thyroxin increases the rate of your metabolism and also affects protein synthesis, which is the process that cells go through to build protein.

Epinephrine – This is one that you have most likely heard of; it’s also called adrenaline. Among a whole list of other things, epinephrine is responsible for what is known as the, "fight or flight" response. This is the hormone that tells you when to fight and when it’s best to run. Some of the bodily responses demonstrated when this hormone kicks in are dilated pupils, increased heart rate, and tensing of the muscles.

Norepinephrine – Also called noradrenaline, this hormone controls the heart and blood pressure. Norepinephrine also contributes to the control of sleep, arousal, and emotions. Obvious effects take place when there is too much or too little of this hormone. Too much gives you an anxious feeling while too little can leave you feeling depressed or sedated.

Dopamine – This controls the heart rate and also assists in perception; deciphering what is real and what is not.

Antimullerian Hormone – An inhibitor for the release of prolactin, the protein responsible mainly for lactation.

Adiponectin – This is a protein hormone, it regulates metabolic processes such as the regulation of glucose.

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone – This assists in synthesizing corticosteroids, which are responsible for stress response, blood electrolyte levels, and other physiologic systems.

Angiotensinogen – Responsible for the narrowing of blood vessels; a process known as vasoconstriction.

Antidiuretic Hormone – This hormone is also known by other names, but it is mainly responsible for retaining water within the kidneys.

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide – A peptide hormone secreted by the cells of the heart and other muscles, it’s mostly involved with the control of water, sodium, potassium, and fat within the body.

Calcitonin – Aids in constructing bone and reducing blood calcium.

Cholecystokinin – Aids in the release of digestive enzymes for the pancreas and acts as an appetite suppressant.

Corticotrophin-Releasing Hormone – Releases cortisol in response to stress.

Erythropoietin – Stimulates the production of erythrocytes, which are blood cells responsible for delivering oxygen.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone – Stimulates the follicles within the sex organs of both males and females.

Gastrin – Secretes gastric acid.

Ghrelin – Hunger stimulant as well as aiding in the secretion of the growth hormone.

Glucagon – Helps to increase the blood glucose level.

Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone – As its name clearly implies, this hormone releases the growth hormone.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin – Keeps the immune system from attacking a forming embryo during pregnancy.

Growth Hormone – Helps to stimulate growth and the reproduction of cells.

Insulin – Responsible for several anabolic effects, primarily glucose intake.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor – Has the same effects as insulin while also regulating the growth and development of cells.

Leptin – Slows down the appetite while simultaneously speeding up metabolism.

Luteinizing Hormone – Aids ovulation in women and testosterone production in men.

Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone – Produce melanocytes, which are responsible for the pigment in skin and hair.

Orexin – Increases the appetite while also increasing your alertness and energy levels.

Oxytocin – A hormone that plays a major role in reproduction, it aids in orgasm and is also responsible for the release of breast milk.

Parathyroid Hormone – Among other functions, this hormone is mainly responsible for the activation of Vitamin D.

Prolactin – A major contributor in sexual satisfaction and the production of breast milk.
Secretin – Inhibits gastric acid production.

Aldosterone – Mainly responsible for absorbing sodium in the kidneys to increase the volume of blood within the body.

Testosterone – The major male hormone, testosterone is responsible for sex drive, development of the sex organs, and the changes that take place during puberty.

Androstenedione – Essentially estrogen.

Estradiol – In males, this hormone is responsible for preventing what is basically known as cell death of the germ cells. In females, this hormone is in overdrive. Among other things, estradiol accelerates height and metabolism, maintains the blood vessels and skin, aids in water retention, and even aids in hormone-sensitive cancers.

Progesterone – A major contributor to the body’s support of pregnancy.

Lipotropin – Stimulates the production of pigment by aiding in melanin production.

Brain natriuretic peptide – Aids in reducing blood pressure.

Histamine – A hormone based in the stomach, histamine aids in the secreting of gastric acid.

Endothelin – Controls muscle contractions within the stomach.

Enkephalin – Simply a pain regulator.

These are only examples of some of the hormones within the body; there are more complex hormones whose functions are not easily understood. Our bodies (when in proper working order) function like well-oiled machines, and the hormones are a major part of nearly every process. Clearly, hormones are responsible for much more than angry teens, squeaky voices, and weepy pregnant women.

What chemicals released in the brain cause certain moods?

What chemicals released in the brain cause certain moods?

There are many neurotransmitters that induce a combination of bodily, nerve, and mental sensations that we roughly classify as emotions. However, it is not as simple as "produce x to induce y." Everything is a balance. For example, lack of serotonin, or the rapid metabolism of it, can lead to lethargy or depression, but too much of it induces serotonin syndrome which causes tremors, agitation, sweating, and other unpleasant side effects. Acetylcholine modulates learning, memory and general somatic and cognitive arousal; again, too much or too little both lead to a response we would consider negative or unpleasant.

Here's some of the most important neurotransmitters:

Acetylcholine
Dopamine
Serotonin
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
GABA
Vasopressin
Prolactin and Oxytocin
Various other amines
An individual's brain pathways and structures help determine how these chemicals affect him in a unique way as compared to others. Some of these tendencies are present at birth, but they are shaped over time (particularly in the first two years of life and later in adolescence) by experience. So, no one chemical is responsible for one's mood; it is the interaction of the different levels of neurotransmitters, the action of the receptors they bind to, and a person's past experience of interpreting and reacting to stimuli.

Can you tell the difference between 'than' and 'then'?

Can you tell the difference between 'than' and 'then'? I've noticed SEVERAL people on here who can't!?

Than is used for comparison between two items whereas then is always related to time in one way or another, like then and now.

It's very simple.
You use 'than' for any kind of comparison, and 'then' for everything else.

Than is used in comparisons. Then is a word that indicates time. Examples: I like spaghetti better than lasagna. Diane's house is bigger than the farmhouse. I am going to the museum, then the store.

5 Easy Ways To Get Happier ASAP

It’s in our best interest, both mentally and physically, to make the effort to be happier. Research indicates that happy people are more successful, have more resilience and better coping skills, catch fewer colds, and have a reduced risk of heart disease.
Though I wish it were as simple as slurping up a green juice, making a quinoa salad, and calling it a happy day, it goes much deeper than that. Fortunately, happiness is like a muscle — the more you work it, the stronger it becomes. Here are five ways we can create more happiness in our lives:

1. Decide to be happy.

Happiness doesn’t strike us by luck or happenstance. People who seem to always be happy make a conscious decision to be happy regardless of circumstance. We can choose to grumble over traffic or the weather, or we can take a more positive approach. You might be thinking, “Oh, you’re oversimplifying. It’s not that easy.” It’s not always easy, but it is simple. And the more you practice, the better you’ll get at it.

2. Turn it into a practice.

Take 10 minutes a day to be consciously happy. Think about the blessings in your life. Schedule it into your calendar if you need to! Focus on all the things you have to be grateful for: a roof over your head, a warm bed to sleep in, food in the fridge, loving relationships, sunshine. And spend time every day doing something that brings you happiness — even if it’s something as simple as sitting in solitude with a cup of tea. Let the positive feelings wash over you and bask in them.

3. Give happiness away.

Easy Ways To Get Happier

It’s important to give happiness away, too. In every interaction — with coworkers, grocery store clerks, strangers on the subway — focus on being more kind. Smile, make eye contact, be mindful of your tone of voice and body language. You just might find that when you increase the happiness you offer to others, you’ll receive more of it in return.

4. Be more creative.

Are you unhappy because you feel trapped in mundanity? Stretch yourself out. Try being more creative. If it’s not possible to boost your creativity at work, then practice it in your spare time. Do the creative things that bring you joy, and do them regularly. The world needs the creativity you have to offer.

5. Share a meal with others.

Sharing a meal with friends and family strengthens relationships, improves mental health (especially in teenagers), reduces stress, can reduce children’s risk of substance abuse, and may even get ‘em to eat more veggies. Eating meals with others also boosts happiness! So call your friends and invite them over.
I’m sure you can think of a half dozen things you could do today to improve your physical health, like drink more water or eat spinach. But have you considered what you could be doing to cultivate happiness? I encourage you to ponder this and approach happiness every day with intention.

Dunkirk Movie Review

 CRITIC'S RATING:  4.5/

AVG READERS' RATING: 4.7/5

Dunkirk movie review: Christopher Nolan’s nerve-racking war drama is definitely the best blockbuster of 2017

Dunkirk may or may not be the best war movie ever made, but it is definitely the best blockbuster of the year.

Cast: Fionn Whitehead, Harry Styles, Tom Glynn-Carney, Jack Lowden, Aneurin Barnard, James D’Arcy, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy

Direction: Christopher Nolan

Genre: History

Duration: 1 hour 46 minutes

Dunkirk Story: ‘Dunkirk’ is a World War II film by Christopher Nolan which depicts the story of a French beach and harbour where allied soldiers were caught in a fierce battle, with nowhere to escape.

Dunkirk Review: Christopher Nolan is a director who puts a lot of thought into writing and directing his films. He's a visual storyteller who cares dearly about the narrative structure he painstakingly arranges on the screen while treating his audience with substantial intelligence. For years, he’s broken new ground in cinema by tackling complex concepts with multiple layers that unravel with repeat viewings. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that ‘Dunkirk’ is another Nolan film that will reveal new aspects a second or even third time around.

At the outset, this story is relatively straightforward – almost 4 lakh allied soldiers are stranded on a beach, surrounded by land and being picked off slowly by air bombers. They need to be evacuated by sea, but there aren’t many ships to ferry them off. It’s an absolutely harrowing predicament to be in, and Nolan captures the fear, anxiety, strength and bravery of those involved in equal measure. He does not politicise or glorify the notion of war, instead choosing to portray it for what it is – a complex game of survival, with little room for heroics. What’s astounding is his ability to do so with minimal dialogue. Arguably, any of the actors could be easily replaced and the movie wouldn’t be hampered. Each soldier, officer, pilot, general and captain has his own significant role to play but in the absence of emotional pandering, the entire event itself turns into the lead character.

His decision to completely abstain from CGI, and opting for practical effects instead, makes every gunshot, explosion and dogfight feel extremely real and potent. This is further accentuated by an unnerving musical score by Hans Zimmer that only adds to the nonstop tension. These elements combine to make ‘Dunkirk’ a purely visceral experience, especially in IMAX. While it is not for the average moviegoer – if you’re looking for a fun and mindless action flick there are other options around – it is the first real contender for ‘Best Picture', and a number of other technical awards. If nothing else, it is yet another landmark achievement by one of the most important and skilled storytellers in the present generation of filmmaking.

झुके हुए कंधों से सिपाही समूह में ट्रेन की तरफ बढ़ रहे हैं, रास्ते में एक बूढ़ा सबको ब्रेड बांटता और शुक्रिया कहता है. एक सिपाही ठिठक कर पूछता है ‘लेकिन हम तो लड़े ही नहीं, हम केवल बच कर आए हैं’, बूढ़ा कहता है ‘बच के आना भी जीत है’, वह बूढ़ा जो अंधा भी है अपने हाथों से उसका चेहरा छूता है. क्रिस्टोफर नोलन की हालिया फिल्म ‘डनकर्क’ में यह दृश्य सिनेमा के अंत में आता है.
