Ok,First the answer to Thursday Gks-Sound mini quiz(Why do we hear ‘sound of the ocean’ in a seashell ? ) Answer- (Local noises around you that are altered by the shell)
What happens is generally we hear different sounds around us and acquainted with it.The sea-shell suppresses certain sound(certain frequencies) around us and passes some sounds of other frequencies. The new mixture of sounds is what you haven’t heard before and hence the brain registers this sound as something different and we label it as ‘Sound of Ocean’.
Winners ,Congratulations 😀
I have decided to alternate Saturday stories and the Gks,one Saturday, story… the next Saturday Gks,anyone having a good title for Saturday GKs,please please tell me. Next Gk, next Saturday.
The Perfect Sign
In a small town, a rich couple recently had a son. One day the couple was sitting on the porch and chatting merrily. Amidst talks, the wife said,”Have you noticed, our son has a big birthmark on his forehead ? My mother says,this is the sign of greatness. He will be a minister in King’s court. “
“Nonsense ! Our family astrologer said,such birthmark defines the child will be a famous Doctor.” said the husband.
While both of them were arguing, a beggar came into the premises and asked for alms. The couple looked up and became silent. The beggar had the same mark on his forehead.

Ah – I was wrong – but with the 50% so I don’t feel too bad about it! 🙂 I’ll have to have a think about other GK’s 🙂
Nice story too 🙂 I like your Chandamama stories. They always have a surprising ending, but it all makes sense, and has a moral too 🙂
