😳 *WHY?* ❓❓
Why does a steel spoon in hot tea get hot quickly, but a wooden spoon does not?
Heat travels through a solid by conduction. Metals such as steel have many ‘free’ electrons that move easily and carry heat energy quickly from the hot tea to the handle, so metals are good conductors of heat. Wood has almost no free electrons and contains tiny air pockets, and air is a very poor conductor, so heat moves through it very slowly. That is why wood and plastic are called insulators, and why cooking pans often have wooden or plastic handles — the pan heats the food, while the handle stays safe to hold.

15 November — Important Days
Janjatiya Gaurav Divas: Observed every year on 15 November, the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda (born 1875 at Ulihatu, now in Jharkhand’s Khunti district), who led the Ulgulan (great tumult) against British rule and exploitation of tribal land. Revered as ‘Dharti Aaba’ (Father of the Earth), he died in Ranchi jail in 1900 at the age of 24. The Union Cabinet declared the day in 2021 to honour the contribution of tribal freedom fighters; this year marks his 151st birth anniversary.
* World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims
Observed on the third Sunday of November — this year on 15 November — to remember the millions killed and injured on roads, support their families, and thank emergency workers. Started by the UK charity RoadPeace in 1993, it was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2005. It reminds everyone to follow speed limits, wear helmets and seat belts, and never drink and drive.

🧬 *HEALTH CARE: HEALTHY HABITS* 🩺
Eating right in winter
🍊 Eat seasonal fruits such as amla, oranges and guavas, which are rich in vitamin C and help the body fight infections.
🥣 Choose whole grains and millets like bajra, ragi and jowar, along with pulses, green leafy vegetables and a handful of nuts.
💧 Keep drinking enough water and warm fluids such as soups, even if you feel less thirsty in the cold.
🍟 Limit deep-fried snacks, sweets and heavy late-night meals, which can add weight when we move less in winter.
☀️ Spend 15–20 minutes in morning sunlight when possible, as it helps the body make vitamin D for strong bones.
