😳WHY❓❓❓

Why watch advertisements always shows 10.10

When we see a watch ad, we will mostly likely look at a watch showing 10:10 in their face. Almost many watch ads follow this, no matter what company it belongs to. I have been wondering why is it so. Here are the reasons people say,

1) Symmetrical Look: When the watch is at 10:10 we get a vertical symmetry in the face of the clock. But we get the same with 9:45 or8:20 or some other time. Then why is it 10:10 ?

2) Smiley Look: When we look at a watch at 10:10, we see as if the watch is smiling. It is better to have a smiling face, rather than having a crying face when the time is at 8:20. Well that is one good reason, since it enlightens peoples mind while looking at the ad.

3) Victory: When the clock is at 10:10, the hands are similar to the letter “v” which symbolises victory. May not be the actual reason, but we can say this as one of the reasons.

4) Abraham Lincoln: Many say that it is due to Abraham Lincoln died at that time and so the watches are showing 10:10. But some say that, Lincoln is shot at night at around 10:15, and died in the next day morning at around 7:22. So this ain’t the correct the reason

🤔 HOW IT WORKS ⁉

How Anesthesia works

There are two primary types of anesthesia drugs: those that knockout the whole body (general) and those that only numb things up locally.

Local anesthetics block the nerves that connect a particular body part or region to the brain, preventing the nerves from carrying pain signals to your brain. Examples include novocaine shots, which dentists use to numb the nerves in your mouth during a root canal, and epidurals, which allow for a (relatively) painless childbirth by blocking the nerves that originate at the base of the spinal cord and serve the pelvic region.

For serious surgeries that require a patient to be completely unaware, doctors turn to general anesthesia. This renders patients unconscious with no perception or memory of the surgery (though pain from the surgical procedure will be apparent once you wake up). It also limits the physiological responses to surgical cuts, keeping blood pressure, stress hormone release and heart rate constant during the procedure.

🛕 VEDIK GYAN

(kindly inform, if given info is vary from actual facts🙏🏻)

In India Society people give cash gifts/Donations of 11, 21, 51 ,101,501,inspite of 10, 20 50,101,501…..?

Indian societies, gifting money to someone is a sign of expressing love and care. But the amount should not end with 0 as it signifies the end and hence the end of the relationship. So to make it convenient and socially acceptable the amount given usually ends with digit one, eg. 10+1, 20+1, 50+1, 100+1, 501…… etc.

Another reason for why a rupee extra is given is that this coin is considered to be divine and is called as “Shagun ka paisa”. This conventional belief is still practised but the intensity has been diminished by the newly emerging modern world.

If the rupee is not added the sum total will be separable or it will end in zero which indicates the end, so adding the rupee will make the number odd hence assuring continuity.🙏🏻💐
