🇮🇳 *FACTS ABOUT INDIA* 🇮🇳
=======================
The Cellular Jail, also known as Kala Pani ( black waters), was a colonial prison in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. The prison was used by the British especially to exile political prisoners to the remote archipelago. Many notable dissidents such as Batukeshwar Dutt, Yogendra Shukla and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, among others, were imprisoned here during the struggle for India's independence. Today, the complex serves as a national memorial monument.
The jail was called Kaala Paani because all around the jail was sea and hence no prisoner could hope to escape and water looks like black in colour.

*😳WHY❓❓❓*
=======================
*Why don’t our eyeballs get cold when it’s cold out?*
Your eyes are actually very well-protected. Most of the eye is actually inside the skull. On top of that, your eyelids and eyelashes help to protect your eyes.
Blood vessels provide the eyes with a continuous supply of blood, which ensures constant warmth and prevents them from freezing.
Blinking keeps your eyes moist by pushing tears over them. What does salt have to do with eyes getting cold? Think about your roads in winter. What do you and your snow plow use to keep ice from forming? Salt! Salt lowers the freezing point of water, so it has to get colder for it to freeze.

Traditional bulletproof glass is made from alternating layers of glass (typically 3–10mm or ⅛–⅜in) and plastic, where the plastic is simply a thin film of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) (around 1–3mm or 30–90 mils thick).
Bullet resistant glass (commonly known as bulletproof glass) can be composed of several different materials, all offering a different level of protection. These levels of protection range from Level 1, which can sustain three 9mm bullets, all the way to Level 10 which can protect against a 50 BMG bullet.
