😀Thought of the day

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

Jokes of the day

1)Aajkal ke bachche kya samajhenge
hamane kin mushkil paristhitiyon mein padhai ki hai,
kabhi kabhi to mastar ji hamen
Mood Fresh karne ke liye hi koot diya karte the!! 🤪🤣

2) A man walks into a a bar, drinks a couple of beers, and prepares to leave. The bartender tells him that he owes $10.

“But I already paid you. Don’t you remember?” says the customer.

“OK,” says the bartender, “if you say you paid, then I suppose you did.”

The man goes outside and tells the first person he sees that the bartender can’t keep track of whether his customers have paid or not.

The second man rushes in, orders a couple beers, and later pulls the same stunt.

The barkeep again replies, “OK, if you say you paid, then I suppose you did.”

The customer then heads outside and tells a friend how he too can get free drinks.

The third man hurries in and begins to drink highballs.

The bartender leans over and says, “You know, a funny thing happened tonight. Two men were drinking beer, neither paid, and both claimed they had. The next guy who tries that stunt is going to get punched in the balls…”

The man interrupts, “Don’t bother me with your troubles. Just give me my change and I’ll be on my way.”

That bartender was ED of a Bank and the Drunkards were Nirav , Mehul and Vijay.

3) Three friends, one Indian, one British, one Saudi Arabian were talking over dinner…

British: Why India is called Incredible India??

Indian: I can explain…. What you would do if a newly constructed bridge breaks down crushing 20 people under it….

British: Well, the irresponsible engineer and official would be jailed for the rest of their lives, for sure.

Saudi Arabian: Irresponsible engineer and official would be shot or hanged in public for sure.

Indian: we have a very different method here in India… We will take the injured to the Hospital and we beat up the doctor if anyone dies…

British: Oh, incredible!!!

4) Alia goes to watch kids play in the stadium.

She notices a boy at the end of the field standing alone, while all the other kids are running around having fun, kicking a football.

She takes pity on him and decides to speak to him.

“Are you ok?” she asks.

“Yes,” he replies.

“You can go and play with the other kids, you know,” she says.

“It’s best I stay here,” he says.

“Why’s that, sweetie?” Don’t be nervous, I am here to watch and cheer you go and play asks Alia

The boy looks at her incredulously and says, “Because I’m the goal keeper.

5)Patient: I have fever, headache, cough and cold. I’ve taken some basic medicines for the same.

Doctor: Which ones?

Patient: Paracetamol,
Amoxicillin,
Levocetrizine,
Theophylline,
Montelukast,
Bromhexine,
Ibuprofen.
Doctor: Someone please give me an Alprazolam!

Patient: Relax doctor. Alprazolam is an anxiolytic. It may not help you right now. You’re suffering from an Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED). A selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor like Escitalopram will work better.

Doctor: Someone give me passive euthanasia!

Patient: Passive Euthanasia requires you to sign a ‘living will’ in advance. Besides, you’re not even terminally ill. Now can we please talk about my fever?

Doctor (calls his father): Papa, I’m joining our family’s snacks business from tomorrow!

Thanks to Doctor Google most of the patients are Digital Patients these days.

😳Tell Me Why❓❓❓

Why Cylinder is painted in Red?

Red colour light has the highest wavelength in the visible spectrum. So, it is visible even from a long distance. Red colour is used for anything which is dangerous or urgent. As we know that LPG is highly inflammable, it is painted red for the safety of the consumer.

🤔 How it works ⁉

All-purpose flour, Maida also known as refined flour or simply flour, is made from wheat grains after removing the brown covering. It is then milled, refined and bleached. It is white and powdery unlike whole wheat flour which is creamish and grainy.

Maida is made from the endosperm and it is developed from the starchy white part of the grain. The bran is separated from the germ and endosperm which is then refined by passing through a sieve of 80 mesh per inch (31 mesh per centimeter).
