Happy Independence day ......What was the little thing you noticed today?

Today being India’s Independence day, you’d all have watched the parade and the flag hoisting at Delhi. Something that you see twice every year. Once on Republic day and once on Independence day.
If I asked you about the difference between the two, what would your answer have been? The dates when they’re celebrated and the reason why they are celebrated right? But there’s one other small detail you would have definitely not paid attention to. The flag hoisting.
On Independence day, if you notice, the flag enclosed with flower petals is at the bottom of the pole. The Chief guest(in this case, Prime minister), pulls the string till the flag reaches the top of the pole and then the flag unfurls. Immediately, the National anthem is played.
On Republic day, the flag is already at the top of the pole, stuffed with flower petals. The Chief Guest (The President), just pulls the string, the flag unfurls and the national anthem is played.
Had you noticed this while flag hoisting?
Well, I’ll give you the reason why this is followed.
August 15th 1947 is when India got Independence from the British rule. So the British flag was brought down and the Indian flag went up. From the bottom to the top.
But, 26th January 1950, was when the constitution of India had come into effect. The flag was already on top this day because India had already gained Independence earlier.
This is the reason the Indian flag is hoisted differently (almost same though) on both the days.
Happy Independence day.

How much water should a normal, healthy adult drink on a daily basis to avoid dehydration?

How much water should you drink each day? It's a simple question with no easy answers. Studies have produced varying recommendations over the years, but in truth, your water needs depend on many factors, including your health, how active you are and where you live. Although no single formula fits everyone, knowing more about your body's need for fluids will help you estimate how much water to drink each day. How much water do you need? Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water. So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need?  The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly about 13 cups (3 liters) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is about 9 cups (2.2 liters) of total beverages a day. You may need to modify your total...
