*Joke of the day*

 *पप्पू (मेहमान से)* : ठंडा लोगे या गर्म?

*😳Why❓❓❓*

 *Does "laughing gas" actually make you laugh?* 

Nitrous Oxide or laughing gas. When you inhale the gas, it displaces the air in your lungs and prevents oxygen from getting to your brain and blood. This deprivation is what causes all the giggles. Some people even experience mild hallucinations.

However, nitrous oxide generates a feeling of euphoria which makes a person want to laugh. N2O triggers the release of dopamine molecules in our body, Dopamine is a type of neurotransmitter. Your body makes it, and your nervous system uses it to send messages between nerve cells. That's why it's sometimes called a chemical messenger. Dopamine plays a role in how we feel pleasure. Dopamine is particularly known as being the "happy hormone." It is responsible for our experiencing happiness.

*LEARN Sanskrit*🙏🏻

 *अहम् आनन्दितो अस्मि* ।. Aham Anandito Asmi

I AM HAPPY

 🤔 *How it works* ⁉

 *How Does a QR Code Work?*

🛕 *VEDIK GYAN* 

 *In Ramayana* 

*Bali* , the king of Kishkindha, was the elder brother of Sugreev. He was a son of Indra who had given him a celestial necklace. It was a necklace with special properties for, after wearing it, if Bali battled with anyone, half the strength of his opponent would be transferred to him.

 *Bali wife* name was *Tara* 

 *Bali* was invincible during Treta Yuga. Nali defeated some of the greatest warriors like Ravana. Bali was blessed with the ability to obtain half the strength of his opponent. Hence, Rama killed Bali by hiding behind the trees.

After Bali's death, Sugriva reclaimed the vanara kingdom, took back his wife, *Rumā* and took over Bali's main wife, *Tara* , who became empress and her son by Bali, Angada, who became crown prince.
