*Pathankot* 

The history of Pathankot can be traced back to the ancient period of the Mahabharata. It is believed that the city, which was named ‘Prathisthan’ during that time, was under the kingdom of Audambra. The city has been a significant place in the past, as suggested by antique coins found in the region. During the 17th century, it was under *Pathania Rajputs,* who ruled from Nurpur in Himachal Pradesh. Till 1781, it was also ruled by Sayed Khan, a Muslim descendent of the kings of Nurpur. It was known as ‘Paithan’ during that time. Another theory states that the city derives its name from the Pathans, who settled during medieval times. After independence, it became a part of the state of Punjab and many immigrants from Pakistan settled here after partition.

*😳Why❓❓❓*

 *what causes skin to wrinkle with age* ⁉️

Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. As people get older, their skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic, which means it is less able to protect itself from damage. This leads to wrinkles, creases, and lines on the skin. As we get older, our skin naturally becomes less elastic and more fragile. Decreased production of natural oils dries our skin and makes it appear more wrinkled. Fat in the deeper layers of our skin diminishes. This causes loose, saggy skin and more-pronounced lines and crevices.

*LEARN Sanskrit*🙏🏻

upavishati *(उपविशति)* means ' *sitting* '.

 🤔 *How it works* ⁉

 *RADAR* stands for Radio Detection and Ranging System. It is basically an electromagnetic system used to detect the location and distance of an object from the point where the RADAR is placed.The electronic principle on which radar operates is very similar to the principle of sound-wave reflection. The radio-frequency (rf) energy is transmitted to and reflected from the reflecting object. ... A small portion of the reflected energy returns to the radar set.

 It works by radiating energy into space and monitoring the echo or reflected signal from the objects. For air traffic control radars, the beam is shaped like a fan, narrow in the horizontal direction, and wide in the vertical direction, to accommodate high-flying planes. This beam scans around in a circle once every two or three seconds and echoes are displayed on a circular display called a plan-position indicator.

Electromagnetic waves "bounce" off objects that conduct electricity, so old-fashioned aircraft made from wood and canvas didn't produce big radar echoes, The same applies to modern planes made from carbon fibre composites. Aluminium skinned planes make the best targets.

Trinity gods then went to Anasuya as guest and asked to give food by being naked. She agreed and then with her powers convert trinity's to babies and did feed them. After much time, goddess got worried and came searching for there husbands and found them as babies with Anasuya. They all felt guilty and requested Anasuya to bring them back to normal. She agreed and trinity gave her boon to born as her child and Dattatraya was born.
