What are some mind-blowing facts that sound unreal but are actually true?

Kaindy Lake is a 400 meter long lake in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains located 129 km from the city of Almaty.

He broke the record on 9th Dec 2015. Feeling confident before the attempt Stutzman said “I have a lot of dreams. One of my dreams is to break the world record, and that dream will come true today.

So friends, don’t let a disability stop you from achieving your dreams!

Happy Reading!

Be kind to one another!
