Welcome To My Blog!!

Heyy my name is Khushboo (I know, it is impossible to say it, thats why I decieded to make my screen name Kboo ) and as you might have guessed already, I am a big fan of FACTS!!

I always had a curiosity for knowing things that are not common or usual. I spend hours and hours looknig up interesting facts and sometimes funny pictures too (especially of animals). I try to remember most of them but it just becomes impossible. So i decieded to make a blog and save all the facts that I find to be interesting and share it with you guys as well. My blogs are mostely going to consist of a bunch of facts and a picture or two relating to them, as it makes things more interesting. I would love it if you guys shared some facts with me, that you found to bo pretty cool. It could be about anything, So go ahead and dont be shy to share your ideas and knowledge with me :)

Random Facts

1. "Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning."
 Remember the old saying, 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'? I feel like that saying has been forgotten in todays world. The apple won't only keep you away from the doctor but even from making you go on a diet. With low in calories, people would actually be awake, healthy and in a good shape than if they had coffie. Isn't that just awesome!?

2. "Eating 11 pounds of apples will make you gain one pound of weight"
  So apples not only wake you up in the morning but even keeps you fit by barely having ny calories in it? OMG this fruit is just amazing! I never knew an apple has so many good qualities in it. Maybe thats why my grandma is always forcing me to eat apples. And for some reason I really like that pic of the apple. lol.

3. "In the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the words around The Mirror of Erised: Erised is Desire spelled backward, or how it would appear in a mirror. Also, the inscription reads "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi," which read in a mirror reads, "I show not your face but your hearts desire."
 To be honest, I am a big fan of Harry Potter books and I didn't realize why it was written that way till the time I read this. J.K.Rowling not only has deep meanings behind her sci-fi book but even uses a whole lot of other language's word like, Lord Voldemort's snake is named Nagini which comes from the Sanskrit word Nagin meaning female snake. Her amazing ideas keep me captivated in her books.

4. "Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, never telephoned his wife or mother because they were both deaf."
  How ironic and sad is that. I think the main reason to why he invented telephone was because he really wanted to communicate to the two most important women in his life. He wanted to talk to them and wanted them to listen to his feelings. If you ever noticed, you would see how poeple make new things to make their lives easier like, Thomas Edison invented light bulb because he was scared to darkness, Walt Disney created mickey mouse because he was afraid to mouse. Everything we do, feel, think, scared off, are interrelated.

5. "Strawberries are a member of the rose family."
 Ever wondered why strawberries taste so sweet? Thts because they are related to the sweet, smelling flowers, Roses. Thats one of the reasons why people give strawberries and roses together on valentines day. By ther way that picture was taken by me :)
