I will tell you a fact that is interesting plus extremely helpful in exams.
Fact: Most of the chemical compounds are white.
I made an analysis of the colour of chemical compounds which are popular and ionic. (I didn’t consider organic compounds because most of them are colourless and their colour isn’t asked in exams too).
And I made this graph:
The analysis was made as follows:
Here’s the graph for the probability of the colour of the chosen soluble compound:
(Note that the colour included in the list of soluble compounds is of their anhydrous form. Some compounds change their colour when hydrated or dissolved in water).
Director: Yash Chopra
Yash Chopra was very anxious about the release of his first independent film, as he felt that if it flopped people would say that he had only ridden on B.R. Chopra's success.
The film was censored on the day of Rajesh Khanna's surprise wedding to Dimple Kapadia, while Raakhee married Gulzar at the beginning of April. Gulshan Rai and the distributors praised the film, but thought it was very risky. Their comment "Although the film is very beautiful, it may not do very well," worried Yash Chopra.
Not only did it go on to be one of the highest-grossing films of the year, Yash Chopra passed his first litmus test as a producer and made a film with a controversial plot on his own terms.
The first film Yash Chopra directed and produced under his own Yash Raj films banner.
1. Yash Chopra won Filmfare award for the best director.
2. Raakhee fetched her first Filmfare award for best-supporting actress.
3. Kader Khan's debut film.
4. Sahir Ludhianvi did not take any money until the film and its songs were a hit.
5. It was initially supposed to release in nine theatres in Mumbai, but was bumped up to 18 on account of the advance booking rush.

Here are 10 interesting facts about Bollywood actor Raaj Kumar:
👮 Before entering the film industry, he worked as a police officer—a fascinating chapter of his life. In other words, his career prior to acting was in a completely different field.
He played the character of Shamu in *Mother India* (1957). This was one of the most significant films of his early career.
His role as 'Raja' and his dialogues in *Waqt* (1965) became immensely popular. The film played a pivotal role in establishing him as a major star.
He possessed such a commanding personality that his characters on screen often appeared calm yet incredibly impactful. He was known for creating an impact through his delivery rather than by shouting.
His filmography includes *Tirangaa* (1993), in which he portrayed the memorable character of Brigadier Suryadev Singh.
He met his wife, Gayatri, on a flight. This is one of those real-life stories that feels fascinating and completely distinct from his cinematic persona.
He had a signature style—pausing between words and modulating his voice while delivering dialogues. This is what set him apart from other actors of his era.
“Some actors are remembered for their films, but Raaj Kumar was one of those rare actors whom people recognized by their voice even before their name.”
1. Males can weigh up to 12 times more than a human.
An adult male polar bear weighs between
351 and 544 kg , or the weight of about five to seven men. The largest polar bear ever recorded was a male weighing 1,000 kg , according to Polar Bear International. On the other hand, adult females weigh only half as much as males, or 50 to 295 kg.
But bears are small when they are born, weighing only 0.5 kg. Males reach adult size between the ages of 8 and 14, while females reach their maximum size between the ages of 5 and 6.
2. They can go days without eating.
If a polar bear doesn't eat for 7 to 10 days , it can slow down its metabolism until it finds its next meal. They survive on the fat reserves from their diet, which consists mainly of seals.
3. Polar bears have transparent fur.
Although polar bears appear white, their fur is actually transparent . It only appears white because it reflects visible light. Beneath the fur, the polar bear's skin is actually black .
To humans and other animals that can only see in visible light, polar bears appear to blend into the snow-covered environment. But reindeer, which polar bears sometimes prey on, can see in ultraviolet light, making polar bears stand out from the snowy surroundings.
4. They have an extremely keen sense of smell.
Polar bears have a keen sense of smell, which they use to find prey. A polar bear can smell a seal on the ice from 32 kilometers away and detect the scent of a seal's breath on the ice from over 800 meters away.
5. Two-thirds of polar bears could disappear by 2050.
Polar bears depend on sea ice to hunt, and studies predict that global warming could melt enough sea ice to lead to the disappearance of two-thirds of polar bears by 2050. The decline in sea ice forces the bears to swim greater distances , consuming energy they cannot afford to use.
The United States listed polar bears as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act in May 2008, and Canada and Russia listed them as a species of particular concern. Unless climate change slows, eventually there will be no bears left to celebrate Polar Bear Day.

The approach to Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport was dubbed the "Kai Tak Heart Attack." Planes banked so low over Kowloon’s apartments that passengers could see locals watching TV.
Because the airport was surrounded by rugged mountains and dense urban blocks, pilots landing on Runway 13 could not make a standard straight-in approach. Instead, they flew straight toward a giant red-and-white checkerboard painted on the side of a nearby hill. At the last possible moment—less than two nautical miles from the threshold—pilots executed a sharp 47-degree right turn to line up with the runway.
During this maneuver, the aircraft roared just a few hundred feet above the rooftops of Kowloon City, rattling windows across the entire neighborhood.
Despite its global fame as an aviation hub, the name "Kai Tak" had nothing to do with flying. In 1912, two businessmen, Sir Ho Kai and Au Tak, formed a company to reclaim land in Kowloon Bay. Their goal was to build a high-end residential estate. The venture failed financially, and the colonial government eventually took back the land, converting it into a small grass airstrip for the Royal Air Force before it evolved into an international airport.
The airport’s growth came at the expense of local history. During the occupation of Hong Kong in World War II, the Japanese military decided to expand Kai Tak to accommodate larger aircraft. Facing a shortage of building materials, they demolished parts of the historic Kowloon Walled City, tearing down its ancient stone walls to use as aggregate for the runway. They also leveled Sung Wong Toi, a sacred hill dedicated to the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, to clear the approach path.
When Kai Tak finally closed in 1998 and relocated to the much larger island of Chek Lap Kok, it fundamentally changed the geography of Kowloon. For decades, strict building height restrictions had been enforced to prevent planes from clipping skyscrapers. The moment the airport closed, those limits were lifted, triggering a massive construction boom that transformed the Kowloon skyline. Today, the massive man-made promontory that once served as Kai Tak's runway has been repurposed into the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, complete with an aviation-themed public park at its tip.
The fiery heroine Draupadi was not without kindness an affection. She was insulted, taunted and driven to the forest by the sons of Dhritarashtra and Gandhari. When, Dusshasana pulled at her saree, Dhritarashtra and Gandhari would not help her. But after the war of Mahabharata, Draupadi looked after Gandhari with respect and affection; she treated her in the same way as she treated Kunti. She had a resolve that would not cool off after thirteen long years of suffering, and also sympathy for Gandhari after all was over.
When Aswathama (son of Dronacharya) who killed the sons of Draupadi, inspite of her great grief at the loss of her children, came to Pandavas, she moved forward and touched his feet and paid him his due respect. Bhima was unable to bear such sorrow and because of this, he was in great emotions which drove him to the point of exhibiting his physical prowess to the world. In fact he was looking at this quality of forbearance of Draupadi as a laughing matter. Bhima was greatly surprised at the peaceful attitude of Draupadi. He thought that the suffering of having lost all her children had driven her to insanity, for, otherwise he was not able to understand how a true mother could show such forbearance when the person who had killed all her children was standing before her. Draupadi was a great woman with exemplary character. When the strong Bhima was preparing to kill Aswathama with his bare hands, would it be possible for a weakling like Draupadi to go and stop Bhima? It was only the purity of her thought that was her strength. Draupadi was such a great woman that in order to protect right conduct, she would even oppose her husbands. But even now, it was Bheema who tried to avenge the death of her sons by uprooting the Shiromani (divine diamond) off the forehead of Ashwathama and thus ending his powers of invincibility.
Draupadi maintained the reputation of her husbands, her parents and parents-in-law. She wanted her parents to be proud of her, she wanted her children to feel that they are the children of a great mother, she wanted her husbands to feel that they were married to a great woman and she wanted her parents-in-law to be proud of her and she wanted to please them. Draupadi herself was always behaving in a manner in which she maintained the reputation of her family and her kingdom.
[ Ultimately, the fact that Draupadi stands quite apart from her five husbands is brought tellingly home when not even Sahadeva of whom she took care with maternal solicitude, nor her favourite Arjuna - tarries by her side when she falls and lies dying husbanded yet unprotected, on the Himalayan slopes ] during their journey to heaven - the Mahaprasthana. It is said, however, in some analyses of the Mahabharata, that only Bheema, at such a juncture tried to save her from her fall from the cliffs by extending an unsuccessful hand to catch her. He failed and Draupadi fell to the ground below and was dying a painful death when Bheema came to her side, consoled her and remained by her side till she eventually died. During these last moments, it is said, Draupadi realized the futility of her undying love for Arjuna and felt the selfless and unconditional love and support that Bheema had provided her at each moment in her life and repented the fact that she could never reciprocate the love of Bheema in equal terms.
