*Why a special design is made between the blades which we use in our daily life*

The Gillette company first started making blades and since then this design has come on the blades.

In 1901, the design given by the Gillette Company to the blade is still intact. Until some time ago such razors used to come in such a way that they had to fit between the blades. This is why the blade was given such a design.

*How Do Ballpoint Pens Work?*
Rather than a nib, a ballpoint pen has a small ball bearing for the ink. This ball bearing is typically made from brass, steel, or tungsten carbine. As the ball moves across paper, it turns and draws ink from the cartridge, creating a consistent ink line with a quick dry time.

(Data is collected from the Internet, in case if actual facts are differentiate plz kindly inform…..🙏🏻) =======================
*Why India is called Jambudvipa*

Jambudvipa in Sanskrit means the place where Jambu trees grow.

The word ‘Jambudvipa’ is used to refer India by Indians during ancient times

According to Puranic cosmography
the entire Cosmos is divided into seven concentric island continents (sapta-dvipa vasumati) separated by the seven encircling oceans, each double the size of the preceding one (going out from within). The seven continents of the Puranas are stated as Jambudvipa, Plaksadvipa, Salmalidvipa, Kusadvipa, Krouncadvipa, Sakadvipa, and Pushkaradvipa.

Its name is said to derive from a Jambu tree (another name for the Indian Blackberry). The fruits of the Jambu tree are said, in the Viṣṇupurāṇa (ch.2) to be as large as elephants and when they become rotten and fall upon the crest of the mountains, a river of juice is formed from their expressed juice. The river so formed is called Jambunadi (Jambu river) and flows through Jambudvipa, whose inhabitants drink its waters. Insular continent Jambudvipa is said to comprise nine varshas (zones) and eight significant parvatas (mountains).
