=======================

*😳WHY❓❓❓*

=======================

 *Why Birds Don't Get Electric Shock Despite Sitting on High-Voltage Wire* ?

Indeed, birds do not get electric shocks from the wire even after sitting on them. However, if the birds come into contact with the ground while touching the wire, it will result in a circuit and the birds will get shocks. The same happens with human beings as well. If the human body is in contact with the ground, only then do we get electric shocks. This occurs as a result of circuit completeness.

 *How does Vicks inhaler work?* 

Vicks inhaler contains menthol, camphor and pine needle oil, which have traditionally been used for many years as inhalations for their decongestant effect. They give off vapours that have a cooling and decongestant effect in the lining of the nose when you breathe them in. It opens the air passage of the nose and helps to breath smoothly...😤

 *Who was Babruvahana in Mahabharata? What's his story?* 

 Babruvahana (Sanskrit: बब्रुवाहन) was the son of Arjuna, a Pandava prince, and Chitrangada, the princess of Manipur. Babruvahana was adopted as the heir of Manipur by his maternal grandfather and later reigned at the kingdom.

Babruvahan is the son of Arjuna and Chitrangadha.

Chitrangadha raises Brabruvahana. He is a great warrior.

After Kurukshetra Arjun on his way tries to drink water from river Ganga. Sons of Ganga (Vasus) and brothers of Bheeshma stop Arjun and accuses him for killing of Bheeshma by unfair means. They ask Arjun not to drink water from the river who is the mother of Bheesham. Arjun tries to pacify them and says no one can claim rights on a river and tries to drink water. Vasus take out weapons to fight Arjuna and Arjun uses a single arrow and the hands of Vasus get tied. Arjun then drinks water and leaves.

Ganga founds her sons with their hands tied. When she finds Arjuna is the reason, she gets angry. She feels Arjun calls for no mercy and intends to teach him a lesson. Her anger turns into an arrow and that arrow reaches the quiver of Babruvahan who is meditating upon Devi Maa for becoming powerful.

During ashwameda Babruvahan fights with Arjun. And as a last weapon Babruvahan uses the arrow (given by Ganga) and the arrow cuts off Arjun’s head. Later Sri Krishna uses mani to make Arjuna alive
