  1. PM Narendra Modi to visit Bangladesh on March 26 & 27
  2. This visit is in connection with the commemoration of three epochal events – Mujib Borsho, the birth centenary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman; 50 years of the establishment of diplomatic ties between India and Bangladesh and 50 years of Bangladesh’s war of liberation. Prime Minister had last visited Bangladesh in 2015.
  3. China’s new rule on visa facilitation of no help for Indians : The Chinese Embassy in New Delhi said on Tuesday, it will start issuing visas to foreigners who need to travel to China but only if they have taken a Chinese-made Covid-19 vaccine. The rule, however, will not make it any easier for Indians to get visas since New Delhi has not approved use of China-made vaccines in the country.
  4. China said the new rule is a meaningful attempt to facilitate cross border travel after massive inoculation, but this raised more practical questions and its utility rather than facilitation, because people in many countries cannot access Chinese jabs due to regulatory issues. It is also not clear whether the new rule applies to students – the largest chunk of Indians – more than 20,000 students who are waiting for China’s nod for more than a year to return to their universities.
  5. The PM of UK, Boris Johnson, is set to visit India in the month of April, 2021

😳Why❓❓❓

Why we will not get blood after giving injection.

There are fewer blood vessels in the fatty layer of connective tissue just beneath the skin than the muscle tissue. Having fewer blood vessels means that medication injected subcutaneously is absorbed more slowly.

How it works ⁉

How Brass is made.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, in proportions which can be varied to achieve varying mechanical and electrical properties.

Brass is similar to bronze, another alloy containing copper that uses tin in place of zinc; both bronze and brass may include small proportions of a range of other elements including arsenic, lead, phosphorus, aluminum, manganese, and silicon. The distinction between the two alloys is largely historical and modern practice in museums and archaeology increasingly avoids both terms for historical objects in favor of the more general “copper alloy”.

Brass has long been a popular material for decoration for its bright gold-like appearance.

🛕 VEDIK GNAN

Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and fortune, is usually depicted with a lotus flower. Bcoz
Thus, Lotus is a symbol of purity and enlightenment amid ignorance. Lakshmi was the first ratna, and the only goddess to emerge from that ocean during the Samudra manthan, sitting resplendent on a pink lotus.

She emerges in the Mahalaxmi or four-armed form, two of her arms carry lotuses, that symbolize Dharma (or righteousness) and Kama (or longing). Her other two arms are symbolic of Artha and Moksha

Ultimately she chooses Lord Vishnu as her eternal consort and eventually migrates to Vaikuntha, the abode of Lord Vishnu. This is the primary reason as to why lotuses are associated with the goddess.
