  So,let's start with you.Do you believe in God ? Think a bit. Ok,so what's your decision ? Is it yes or no, Why ? Before coming to any conclusion,I will ask you, On what basis you concluded whether you believe in GOD or not ? what's your source of knowledge ? 1)Your senses 2) Bonafide book or a Bonafide person  3) by inference (three source of knowledge)  1)Most of the people take decisions on the basis of their senses. You can say we can't see God or hear anything from nature that justifies God's existence. Wait a minute,I will ask you,do you think our senses are perfect ? Can you see microorganisms ? Can you hear infrasound or ultrasound ? Here is the fact, The human eye cannot see anything smaller than 40 microns in size.  And human ears can hear sounds between 20 Hz to 20000 Hz.

During the next couple of weeks we'll have a chance of seeing a new comet as it sweeps past the sun.  The comet's name is SWAN, an acronym for the Solar Wind Anisotropies camera on NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).

Water ice from the comet's nucleus evaporates as the comet approaches the sun. Solar ultraviolet radiation splits up water molecules, and the liberated hydrogen atoms glow in ultraviolet light. The comet was 135 million miles (217 million kilometers) from the sun when Mattiazzo first saw it, but it will ultimately come to within 40.2 million miles (64.6 million km) of

Our plans about ourselves rarely go as we plan it. So you planned something about yourself or more specifically,you assumed a person as your ideal and you thought of becoming like him and with time,things didn't work out (like you wanted to approach your crush confidently jusk like your ideal did but you were unable to do that). And you keep on complaining about it to yourself. Now calm down because you know you can't go back in time to fix all such things which didn't worked out but guess what you can become your ideal (for sure) in future and I have figured out some practical ways (mentioned below).If you follow it on a regular basis,you are gonna celebrate in coming time. • Try to work on your soft skills like on communication skills , social skills because whenever you meet a new person,you only have few seconds to impress them . You can grab that opportunity or see someone else grabbing it. • Spend less time on social media like Facebook, Instagram, TIK TO
