🚩 The Science Behind #MakarSankranti -Today - The Day when Surya Dev moves from Winter solstice towards Summer solstice marking Uttarayana 🚩Vitamin D is made by the body with sunlight.Sesame seeds (Til ) have the highest calcium (975mg per 100g). Milk has 125mg only🚩1/4
🚩2. The body is capable of storing Vitamin D up to a year, and use the reserves.
Lastly, the body is capable of getting its Vitamin D reserves full with 3 full days of sunlight.
The best quality of sunlight is at the end of winter & beginning of summer 🚩
🚩 3. Now join the dots,& See how wise our sages were in ancient India.
They created a festival of flying kites where by children get excited to go in the open, under direct sunlight, throughout the day starting from early morning. And their Mothers feed them homemade TIL ladoos.

🇮🇳 #FarmersWithModi #Thread I grow a lot of my own food & I pay for food that I buy. No one here is doing me any favours. It’s a commercial arrangement.If these so called middlemen pretending to be farmers were genuine philanthropists there would be no starving ppl in India🇮🇳1/2
🇮🇳Ppl are hungry bcos they cannot afford to buy food & so cut the crap abt Annadatha...
People who own 100’s of acres of land are NOT poor by any means..So if they are going on #AntiNational Activities like seen in Delhi-Take this surplus land that they r holding from them 🇮🇳2/3
🇮🇳 & give it on lease to genuine farmers ...
Let’s cut out these over indulged ‘Middlemen pretending to be farmers-they are nothing but Over Appeased Class who have kept the poor labourer class poor for 70+yrs! Enough is enough! 3/3 #BharatBandhNahiHoga #FarmActsGameChanger

🇮🇳 2. However, the night of 26th November in 2008 changed drastically as two terrorists - one of them Ajmal Kasab - had entered the hospital premises. They shot two guards, who lay in a pool of blood at the entrance and injured a nurse 🇮🇳
🇮🇳3. Realising that they were climbing up to the 1st floor, Anjali jumped into action & shut the heavy double doors of the ward, sealing the room from harm. She moved the 20 pregnant women & family members to the pantry at far end of the ward & shifted injured nurse to Casualty🇮🇳

🚩 #Thread 1. Don’t be apologetic about #Deepavali  Be proud of #SanatanDharma @imVkohli
In Bengaluru alone 4lakh animals are killed on Eid which incl 10,000 large animals -cattle & camels generating 300 tons of animal waste which is buried in pits near Kogilu on cityoutskirts🚩
2. For 14 lakh Peacefullls in Bengaluru - 4 lakh animals are killed.
Even if 1 animal weighs 10 kg then can an average person eat 3 kg meat on single day ?
And mind you this includes kids& infants also. So most of the meat goes waste..🚩
3. If you conflate this number to whole of India-then imagine the number of animals killed on that single day ?
For 200 millon it must be at least 20 millon animals
& 200 millon kgs of meat & staggering 8 billon kgs of Green House gases & Carbon dioxide 🚩
