There are many concepts of life after death too. While what we majorly believe is the fact that if someone has been a kind, generous and good person, he will go to Heaven after his death.

In another theory, it has been revealed that the goods and bad of a person are canceled after his death, and after reaching a neutral ground the person is sent to a commonplace after death. In addition to that, another theory reveals that a creature keeps coming back to earth in different life forms and after ding, as a human, he/she attains supreme salvation.

The Sahara Desert is a vast desert in North Africa that includes portions of Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Sudan, Tunisia, and Western Sahara. It is the world's hottest desert, however, due to a lack of humidity, the temperature reduces throughout the night. The average yearly temperature is approximately 30°C although during the warmest months June- September the temperature can soar over 50°C. Temperatures can dip as low as -5 °C at night. Between October and May, when the weather is pleasant, is the best time to explore Tunisian Sahara. During the warmest months, several tour operators suspend operations.

Swiggy’s co-founders are Sriharsha Majety and Nandan Reddy. Both young men were born and raised in India and were just in their early 20s when they launched the operation. They became friends when working together on photography projects at college. They shared their vision for creating an e-commerce website that could help to streamline shipping and courier services throughout India. This resulted in the founding of Bundl, a company that provides logistics for such activities. When Bundl was halted, the pair rebranded it and geared the services to the food delivery market, and this is how Swiggy was created. It became an enterprise for providing a platform for the food services industry.

Every country has a few outdated laws which didn't quite catch up with the times, but some of the laws in Bangkok will really leave you scratching your head as to the reason they were formulated in the first place. You might inadvertently commit a crime if you:

-Leave the house without wearing underwear 
-Drive a motorized vehicle bare-chested
-Use a durian fruit as a weapon; the fine levied will be determined according to the number of thorns that strike the victim
-Step on the currency, as it contains the image of the King and must not be disrespected 

 

A fascinating fact about the Indian Ocean is its lack of marine animal life, which is related to the ocean's greater water temperature. This water is the hottest on the planet, giving plankton and other animals limited room to flourish.

When we throw away our clothes, we accept that we will never see them again. However, just because our old clothes are no longer in our possession doesn't mean they've vanished.

Scholars continue to debate their existence, however, there is evidence from Byzantine Empire documents that they did exist.

Nong Fa Lake, a magnificent volcanic lake high in the mountains of southeast Laos, is veiled in stories, reverence, and dread. Laotians refuse to swim or bathe in the lake because they think it is home to a monstrous snake pig that will devour anyone who ventures into its depths. Nong Fa, which translates straight to "sky lake," is thought to be roughly 78 meters deep, however, locals aren't sure because attempts to measure the depths using bamboo poles have failed.

The energy in the sound wave spreads from the source in a succession of pulses from air molecule to air molecule. When a series of sound wave pulses crush, this is referred to as compression, and when they spread out, this is referred to as rarefaction. Sound waves travel through the air by compressing and rarefying it.

Except for North Korea and Cuba, Coca-Cola can be found in every country on the planet! However, in those two other nations, it is apparently a "grey import" in North Korea and Cuba. This simply implies that Coca-Cola is imported from another nation without The Coca-Cola Company's express consent.
