Assam is always inextricably linked with the Kaziranga National Park, and for good reason. Kaziranga is a bonafide World Heritage Site, and it is also home to two-thirds of the world’s great one-horned rhinoceroses. It is estimated that the population of Rhinos in the park is 2,401 as of 2015. Apart from the rhinos, Kaziranga is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna. It was also declared a Tiger Reserve in 2006.

Sleep rejuvenates the body, and dreams revitalise the mind. This is because dreams are similar to creativity, according to the American Psychological Association. The way the brain solves problems in dreams is similar to how it thinks creatively in the waking world. As a result, many artists are more likely to be inspired by their dreams and to think creatively while awake.

You're probably wondering how to pronounce "ashwagandha" when you first encounter it. However, it is not as complicated as you may believe. Although it may appear strange, it has a meaning. It means "horse odour" in Sanskrit. This is because the roots of ashwagandha have an odd, disagreeable odour similar to that of a horse. Furthermore, this plant is related with horses because it is recognised for giving individuals energy and power similar to horses.

To put it into perspective, the ancient rocks in the Black Sea existed for about 300 years before dinosaurs were on the scene.

When perfumers try to derive the scent of a flower, many of its aspects are lost once it’s dried and pressed into oils. So perfumers try to add those characteristics back by adding notes which make it smell more realistic. One weird way that’s done in the case of white florals, is by using Indole. Derived from coal tar, this smells like camphor and mothballs when pure, and gives a fecal scent to enhance the intensity and depth of jasmine perfumes to make these fragrances smell more like the real flower.

A wellness hotel is currently part of this complex. During the Women in Travel Summit, my friend Olivia Christine of O.Christine Blog stayed at this hotel and blogged about her experience.

Many of us prefer to eat ice cream in dishes and many of us want to eat with a crunch of a cone. But the invention of the cone was actually an accident. It was in the year 1904 World's Fair, an ice cream maker was struggling to keep up the demands and eventually ran out of the bowls to serve ice cream. And luckily his stall was just beside the waffle maker and seeing his condition the waffle maker jumped in to help him out and he began to roll his waffles into the shape of horns to serve the ice cream and this is how we got cones.

Around 1770, Franz Mesmer is credited with bringing hypnosis to the public's attention. The Austrian physician was probably aware of earlier societies' use of hypnosis, and he spent much of his career researching hypnosis, hypnotic techniques, and its effects on the human mind. Interestingly, Mesmer referred to hypnosis as "animal magnetism" or "mesmerism," and the latter term is still used occasionally today. (We're guessing you're completely enthralled by this fact.)

Toby Gard, the creator of Lara Croft, joked that it became clear that Tomb Raider needed a female protagonist when he realised that third-person games require a lot of staring at the main character's butt, so he should probably make that butt a lady's butt to keep him sane during the long hours. In reality, Core was probably afraid of being sued by Lucasfilm for their obvious Indiana Jones rip-off, so they needed a new character who couldn't be confused with Harrison Ford. The simplest way to accomplish this was to switch genders.

Doctor Strange's body was lacking an eye for a few years in the late 1980s. Stephen unwillingly took up the profession of dark magic during a great battle against demons. Because it wasn't a natural tool for him, he lost his left eye in combat. He wore an eyepatch over the socket until Agamotto transplanted Silver Dagger's eye into it. Doctor Strange had destroyed Dormammu in a prior confrontation - completely annihilated, unlike the other encounters! The dread one's life energy eventually slipped beneath the eye patch and grew powerful enough to take over Stephen's body.
