Top 10 more life hacks to save money.

In my previous blog, I mentioned about 10 life hacks to save money and you guys loved it a lot. So in this post we will see 10 more life hacks to save money. I hope this post will also help you a lot in your daily life.

vNUMBER 1. Carpool to work with a friend.

This is both money saving and environment friendly. Carpooling saves a lot of money in gas and it is also fun to travel with friends. In fact, you will be amazed to see the results. Carpooling almost saves almost 260 gallons of gas that is about $858 a year. Try this method and enjoy the results.

v NUMBER 2. Ask for upgrades—but don’t book them.

Never book luxury car or premium hotels ahead of time, unless you definitely need it. Instead, reserve a standard car or a room them politely ask for an upgrade, when you arrive. If they have one available, then you can get it for lot cheaper or sometime when the upgrade is not very costly, you can get one free upgrade. I love this trick.

vNUMBER 3. Carry less money.

It is scientifically proved that if you carry less, you will spend less. Don’t believe me, try to do an experiment- Spend three days of a week with $600 to $1000 dollars in pocket and spend other three days having only $100 in pocket. On the seventh day compare the results of these set of days. Carrying less money can save you thousands in a year. This is an easy trick, try it.

vNUMBER 4. Switch to LEDS and close lights when not in use.

The most ancient and effective way to save money is to turn to the energy-efficient equipments. LEDS initially cost you high but this will be regained when you see your month’s electricity bill. Use of LEDS can cut your electricity bill by 30%. The second way to save money is to turn off the lights and other electric equipments when they are not in use. Using both the methods combined one can save up to 50% in their electricity bill.

vNUMBER 5. Learn to say “NO”

I am telling, this one is really effective. Saying yourself no regularly is the best way to save money. While in the market and seeing your favourite chocolate can really lose your wallet weight. To overcome these situations try to say no every time you see something you like. You will be saving hundreds if you use this method.

vNUMBER 6. Put a 1 litre bottle in the flush tank to save 350 gallons.

I am not joking. Just fill a bottle of volume 1 litre and that bottle inside your flush tank. From now you will be using 50% less water in flushing that is about 350 gallons a year. You will see a drastic change in the water bill from next month.

vNUMBER 7. Start saving in a piggy bank.

This sound childish but this really works. Saving your change really add up and give up lots of money. It is seen that if one have change in their pocket they are likely to spend it fast. But if you don’t have change in pocket then you will think before spending. So saving your change in piggy bank is a good deal.

vNUMBER 8. Eat few vegetarian meals in a week and minimise going to restaurants.

Chicken and beef are expensive to buy. Vegetarian meals are also delicious. Try few in a week and save few bucks for buying something else. Also minimise going to those expensive and overpriced restaurants. Try cooking with friend, it is fun and money saving.

vNUMBER 9. Buy designer clothes on eBay.

If you love designer clothes but still want to save money. Try searching your clothes on eBay.com. There are tons of auctions going on the site. You can find best deals on your clothes.

vNUMBER 10. Do it the Indian way.

Indians are the king of “jugaad”, i.e. life hacks. This method is simple just you’re your household things as your equipments and materials and build something that will help you in your daily life. If you think this one is difficult then try it you will find that it is really fun and also helpful.

Top 10 Most Amazing Animals in the World.

Animal world is more interesting than you can imagine. They are not just animals; they are the gift of nature that has gone under so much of evolution which has made them so precise in what they do. Here are the 10 most amazing animals that you can find in the nature. (Note: I am not comparing or underestimating any animal, this post is just for the love of nature).

NUMBER 1. Dung Beetle

Dung beetles are arthropod, of size about 3 cm. They are member of the beetle family that feed partly or exclusively on dung. So they are just beetle that feed on dung; then what make them so amazing. That thing is power. If I say to think about some powerful animal then you may think about elephant, gorillas, lion, etc. but you are absolutely wrong. Dung beetles can pull a load of 1141 times of its weight. So, if it is of our size then it means two double-decker buses full of people! The other thing that makes them special is that they are currently the only known non-human animal to navigate and orient themselves using the Milky Way.

NUMBER 2. Striped Polecat

Its other name is ‘zorilla’. It belongs to the weasels’ family but resembles a lot to skunk. From the resemblance you can surely get a hint about what amazing ability it has. Yes, it has the smell power. Although this animal looks cute, but believe me you don’t want to take this fellow to your home. It holds the Guinness Book of Records title for the smelliest animal in the world.

NUMBER 3. Immortal Jellyfish

Turritopsis dohrnii aka immortal jellyfish is a species of jellyfish, which is biologically immortal. They are found in the Mediterranean Sea and in the waters of Japan. This is true that they are immortal but only biologically (they can’t kill themselves, in a way). Most of the jellyfish have fixed lifespan but this jellyfish is special. When these jellyfish achieve their maturity, they are able to go back to their polyp state (in simple, to their birth stage). This process has no end so to their life. Whenever they mature, they transform to polyp. This makes them biologically immortal. But they can be killed by external forces.

NUMBER 4. Dwarf lantern shark

Imagine a shark that is just the size of your palm. That’s dwarf lantern shark. It is the smallest known species of shark. It can reach a maximum length of only 21.2 cm. It is closely related to dogfish shark. So what amazing in this creature, it is just a miniature shark but it has a special ability. It glows in the dark. Yes, this creature lives in the depth of sea where a little sunlight comes. To overcome this problem this shark developed an amazing ability to glow. What else you want in a shark a small size and glowing ability!!

NUMBER 5. Box Jellyfish

What if I say you to think about most poisonous creature on the Earth? You would probably think of any snake or amphibian. To an extent, you are right but not completely right. Box jellyfish is considered to be the most poisonous creature living on the Earth. Its poison is so dangerous that it can kill 60 adult human or two Australian elephants. So next time when you see a spongy, cute and playful jellyfish in the sea first confirm it may be the box jellyfish.

NUMBER 6. Sloth

Of course, you have heard of sloth. Those lazy creatures of the jungle who only come down from trees to shit (I mean excrete). But they are much more. Their life style have helped them quite a lot, they are on Earth for over 60 million years. They are lazy but not defenceless. They have large nails or claws that they use when attacked. They are also a master of disguise in their way. They have a natural camouflage that help them to resemble like they are a part of the tree (just like those camouflage used by army men). They are slow but have effective tools and ideas.

In this picture you can see the camouflage, that is actually green algae.

NUMBER 7. Blob Fish

When talking about amazing animals how anybody can’t mention the blob fish. The fleshy blob fish lives in the depths of about 1200 meters in the oceans. They mainly found in the regions near Australia and Tasmania. Blob fish has an alien look. When it is considered to be one of the ugliest animals on the planet, it got its real fame. But they look that ugly inside the water (see the picture). They lack muscles because of which they have a density slightly less than water. So they float just above the sea bed. They have incredible capability to sustain pressure.

NUMBER 8. Frilled Shark

I would say that this creature have attracted people to believe that prehistoric creatures still exist. Discovered in 2007, frilled shark is among the prehistoric creatures that still exist. When one sees this fellow, he will think of some evolutionary stage of shark. They are also correct because frilled shark has the primitive features of a shark. They can be found as deep as 5,150 ft below the sea level. Sadly, this creature is near threatened. We should help wildlife experts and environmentalists to protect these creatures. They are gems of our mother nature.

NUMBER 9. Ghost Shrimp and Sea Salp

I was unable to select only one of these for this. Think about an organism through which you can see everything. These organisms are those organisms. They have nothing to hide, seriously nothing to hide. Let’s talk about them separately.

Ghost shrimp is a popular pet. They are translucent crustacean. They are scavengers. Ghost shrimp are good as a pet because amaze the people who see them as they are seeing at just internal organs (that’s over exaggerating, you can see a jelly like thing)

Sea salp is a jelly like transparent fish. They move by pumping water. Its jet propulsion is most efficient in the animal kingdom. They feed on phytoplankton.

NUMBER 10. Peregrine Falcon

How can a list of amazing animals can end without mentioning the fastest animal in the world. Peregrine Falcon can reach a speed 322 km/h (200 mph). The highest measured speed of peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph). They are found everywhere except the extreme polar regions. They are the most widely found bird species. For animals, peregrine falcon is a devil coming from sky.

My favourite animal is crocodile, what’s your? Tell me about that in the comment section. Thanks for viewing.

Top 10 Interesting Facts about Human Body.

We all know what human body is, isn’t it? Absolutely NO. There are not only hands, legs and face in our body. There is much more and most of it, we ignore. There are so much things going inside and outside of our body. Many of these actions just amaze us a lot. Here are 10 best and interesting facts about human body.

NUMBER 1. The average lifespan of a human hair is 3 to 7 years.

This is true. If you thought that they are bunch of dead cell that always remain on your head on your head, then you are wrong. A human hair goes through three stages – anagen phase, catagen phase, telogen phase. Just like the stages in human life.

NUMBER 2. Stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve razor blades.

Yes, we carry some dangerous acid in our body. Pretty cool, isn’t it? The main components of the stomach acid or gastric acid are hydrochloric acid (HCl), potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl). These acids are so powerful that if you try to drink these then it will destroy your cells all the way. But thanks to evolution, they stay in our stomach without damaging us. The only reason the acid in your stomach doesn't eat right through your body is because the stomach cells are renewed faster than they are destroyed.

NUMBER 3. Your blood vessels can stretch around the world nearly two and a half times.

Blood vessels are longer than you imagined, huh? If you laid all of your blood vessels end to end then they would stretch 60,000 miles, or around the world nearly two and a half times.

Still can’t believe, okay let’s check this with maths-

Earth’s circumference near equator is about 24,901 miles. Now multiply it with 2.5, we get 62,252.5 miles. That is nearly the length of blood vessels.

NUMBER 4. We all have tiny mites living in our eyelashes.

Ever listen about bed bugs or bed mites. How horribly creepy and irresistible they are. Think of its miniature version but time they are not on your bed or mat, but on your eyelashes. Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, both frequently referred to as eyelash mites. Every human have mites, although newborns are born mite free but as they grow up mites start to settle on them. Mostly these mites are don’t spread diseases but sometimes they do make infect you with dangerous diseases.

Number 5. We are fungus and bacteria in reality.

It sound rubbish but this is the fact. Around 90% of cells that make humans aren’t human in origin. We are mostly fungus and bacteria. So if a man has 10 cells then 9 of them will be fungus and bacteria and only 1 cell will be the actual human cell. So before criticizing bacteria and fungus from now, remember you are also one of them.

NUMBER 6. Your heartbeat changes and mimics the music you listen to.

Ya, yours heart is also a kind of music lover. At first, music doesn’t exactly synchronize with the beats and tempo of the music you listen to. But it is found that as the tempo increases heart rate also increases and as tempo decreases heart rate also decreases. In some people it is found that heart rates are influenced by the beats of the music. This is also good because in a study it is found that listening to songs can increase your lifespan.

NUMBER 7. Eyebrows are an essential part o human body.

I can challenge that most of you guys have never given a shit about your eyebrows. But they are very important. Eyebrows help to keep sweat, rain and moisture away from the eyeballs so your vision stays clear. Secondly, they are very essential for nonverbal communication. Scientists who study facial expressions say eyebrows are a key to expressing happiness, surprise, and anger. You can relate this one from your daily life or from any movie.

NUMBER 8. If your saliva cannot dissolve or mix with food, you will not able to taste that food.

If you thought that saliva is very disgusting, rubbish, dirty and embarrassing, then try to taste food after drying off your tongue. The food will feel like rubber. Why you need saliva to taste foods. In order for food to have taste, chemicals from the food must first dissolve in saliva. Once dissolved, the chemicals can be detected by receptors on taste buds. Use a clean paper towel to dry off your tongue.

NUMBER 9. Newborn babies can only see black and white.

Each and every newborn baby is color blind, there is no exception. The color vision in the newborn babies begins to develop within a week after their birth and by 6 months your baby can see every color you can.

NUMBER 10. The only part in of your body that has no blood supply is the cornea in the eye.

Cornea is the only known part of the human body that doesn’t have a blood supply for oxygen and nutrition transportation. Because transparency is of prime importance the cornea does not have blood vessels; it receives nutrients via diffusion with the help of tear fluid. It gets its oxygen supply directly from the atmosphere.
