Personal work of daas. Daas has some interest in Astronomy. These are real pictures taken via telescope .

The big Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 Million Light Years.

The smaller galaxy is 20 million light years.

The limits of Akal Purakh cannot be known.

Beauty of Punjab in pictures:

 

 

 

 

Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar

 

The historically significant Jallianwala bagh is a public garden located in Amritsar, Punjab. The memorial has been built to honour the innocent people killed here during the infamous Jallianwala bagh massacre that happened during the British rule.

 

The Rock Garden, Chandigarh

 

One of the most popular attraction in Chandigarh, the Rock garden is the epitome of creativity.  Started by government official Nek Chand as a way to kill time back in 1957. And today, this sculpture garden is spread over 40 acres of land. The major attraction of this garden is the fact that everything here is made of waste material of all kinds-bangles, wires, industry waste material, broken crockery and kitchenware, etc.

 

 

Harike wetland and bird sanctuary

 

The Harike wetland is the largest wetland in northern India in the Tarn Taran Sahib district of Punjab. The wetland is home to several species of flora and fauna, and is a major biodiversity reserve. It is the best place to visit if you’re a nature lover or a wildlife photographer.

 

 

Sukhna Lake, Chandigarh

 

The Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh is a major tourist attraction.

On a regular day, one can go boating, or just enjoy the beautiful scene of the sun setting over the city.

 

 

 

Virasat-e-Khalsa

 

Located in Anandpur Sahib, Virasat-e-Khalsa is a museum that gives insight into all the events that took place more than 500 years ago; events that gave birth to Sikhism.

The museum aims to illuminate the vision of the Gurus, their message of peace and brotherhood and the culture and heritage of Punjab.

This museum took about 13 years to make, and was opened to the public in November 2011.

Also, don’t forget to sway with the lovely people, the wonderful food, and the energy that the air this state breathes.

When in Punjab, do as Punjabis do. 

 

 

 

The Kila Raipur Sports Festival, Ludhiana

 

One of the highlights of Punjab, the Kila Raipur Sports festival takes place annually in a small village, Kila Raipur, about 20 km away from Ludhiana.

Every year,this event happens between ending January and the beginning of February.

A large number of people gather to witness an array of sporting events, and people participating in them are enthusiastic beyond compare.

 

 

The Zakir Hussain Rose Garden, Chandigarh

 

Named after India’s former president Zakir Hussain, the rose garden is a botanical garden spread over 30 acres of land, with 50,000 rose bushes of 1600 different species.

Apart from other events that are hosted, the rose garden hosts the annual rose festival called Festival of Gardens, a major cultural event in Chandigarh, during February or March.

Its attractions include food, drinks, and different contests held for enthusiasts of all kinds.

Amazing fact 

 

 

The Sun is not made of fire, its energy comes from the nuclear fusion that occurs in its core, where the temperature exceeds 15 million degrees and the pressure is immense.

It fuses hydrogen atoms into helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat in the process.

Every second it converts 600 million tons of hydrogen into 596 million tons of helium, and the remaining 4 million tons of matter is converted into energy, a process that will continue for the next 5 billion years.

If there is a family of swimmers who have been swimming for consecutive generations, is it possible that over time future generations could evolve to have adaptive characteristics to swim like aquatic animals?

Meet the Bajau people in South East Asia.

 

Also known as the “Sea Nomads” these people have been living semi-aquatic lives for thousands of years. Almost their entire lives revolve around the ocean.

These people are constantly diving and thus holding their breath. This has lead to several evolutionary novelties in these people which are adaptation for diving in the ocean.

An increased spleen size due to genetic mutations in PDE10A in these people acts as an oxygen reservoir so they can hold their breath longer.

Mutations in the gene BDKRB2 also increases peripheral vasoconstriction helping the body preferentially oxygenate important parts of the body like the brain while diving.

Mutations in the gene FAM178B (which might have evolved via adaptive introgression from Denisovan interbreeding) help maintain regular pH in the bloodstream to prevent carbon accumulation during diving, variants of PDE10A help regulation of smooth muscle contraction including ones near the spleen, and variants of CACNA1A are involved in the regulation of the release of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and the response to hypoxic conditions.

Essentially this group of people has evolved to become extremely resistant to hypoxia because of selection pressures from regularly diving.

So yes, it is very possible for a lineage of human exposed to aquatic environments to develop adaptations for swimming.

Not just possible because as you can see here it is happening before our very eyes. Because humans still evolve, we never stopped.

Though not likely a single family of diving people led to it, because inbreeding tends to lead to extinction.

Loving and Amazing World

By Richard Strachan.

 

“Drink water from the spring where horses drink. The horse will never drink bad water.

Lay your bed where the cat sleeps. Eat the fruit that has been touched by a worm.

Boldly pick the mushroom on which the insects sit. Plant the tree where the mole digs.

Build your house where the snake sits to warm itself.

Dig your fountain where the birds hide from the heat. Go to sleep and wake up at the same time with the birds – you will reap all of the days' golden grains.

Eat more green – you will have strong legs and a resistant heart, like the beings of the forest.

Swim often and you will feel on earth like the fish in the water.

Look at the sky as often as possible and your thoughts will become light and clear.

Be quiet a lot, speak little – and silence will come in your heart, and your spirit will be calm and full of peace.”

Saint Seraphim of Sarov

Nature is talking to you, are you listening?
