Asteroid Day (also known as International Asteroid Day) is an annual global event which is held on the anniversary of the Siberian Tunguska event, which is considered by some to be the most harmful known asteroid-related event on Earth in recent history. The United Nations has proclaimed it be observed globally on June 30 every year in its resolution.
Asteroid Day aims to raise awareness about asteroids and what can be done to protect the Earth, its families, communities, and future generations from a catastrophic event. For example, 2014 HQ124, discovered April 23, 2014, went past 1,250,000 km from Earth the same year, June 8th, only 46 days after discovery, and 2015 TB145, went past at 490,000 km only 21 days after its discovery.
“The morning light has flooded my eyes – this is Your message to my heart. Your face is bent from above, Your eyes look down on my eyes, and my heart has touched Your feet.”
. Rabindranath Tagore
This post has originated a long time ago; a portrait of Gandhi hung on the wall of our living room when I was growing up, and the works of Rabindranath Tagore were on my desk. They came with me when I settled in England, and I often read his exquisitely beautiful prose and poetry, which gave him worldwide acclaim and the Nobel Prize for Literature. His spiritual writing filled me with deep respect and admiration for India and its people.

And those saved from the covetousness of their own…

Sohair Allah says At-tur: Verse 48 وَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا ۖ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ Now await in patience the command of thy Lord: for verily thou art in Our eyes: and celebrate the praises of thy Lord the while thou standest forth
In the midst of all the volumes of alcohol being consumed, many people don’t seem to know that alcohol exerts some direct harmful or toxic effects on vitamins and organs of the human body; coupled with malnutrition, the effects of alcohol abuse can have an even greater negative impact.
To start with, alcohol does not provide any calories, just like pure fat and sugar and pure fat don’t.Therefore, if a person drinks more alcohol, the more unlikely it would be for that same person to get enough energy or have space for the type of food that can provide sufficient quantities of vitamins or nutrients required by their body.
To summarize in a few words: the more alcohol one consumes, the less nutritious their diet and body system would be. The situation may even become a breeding ground for the most known harmful effects of alcohol on vitamins, interrupting and…
