^Russian soldier shot in the head by an AK-47 smiles for the camera as his comrade pulls it out using just PLIERS

He was probably lucky - bullet does not seem to have penetrated much in his skull.

Infact it looks like it got stuck between skin and skull and caused the bump.

Plus there is hardly any blood

^haha I thought abt posting this today morning when I first saw it. Crazy thing is, even the last page is also totally dedicated to snapdeal ad.

How a purple liquid is chasing dogs away and baffling vets in Kolkata

i need to check this theory. i am sick of dogs sitting around the gate of my house.

Did it work?

mom said the press wala or someone else would steal it the day i hang the bottle. she has given me an unused pack of neel. i am still considering putting it in a plastic bottle and make a thick concentrate and hang it at the gate outside.

people around here do not even leave a plastic bowl (the one restaurant people give for gravy etc). i have tried keeping it outside with water for birds. it disappears in 2-3 days.

People hang ad boards to gates with a small metal wire. You can try that to secure the plastic bottle to your gate. I think kabadiwala most probably takes those plastic containers thinking its trash

i have installed it outside partially hidden inside plants. i did not notice any smell in the liquid. but then dogs are superheroes when it comes to sense of smell. let's see how long the bottle lasts. as for whether it works, i don't even know how i would find out. there is one particular gentleman who loves to stop his dog at the side of our house for letting him do his/her business. but it's not a daily thing.

if the dogs stay away because of color (!), i do not think it's going to work lol. i wanted to leak the bottle so that liquid kept on pouring down. mom did not approve as neel is going to discolor the entire tiled area outside

Sky Lantern experiment failed big time today. It actually failed to lift off and because of the wind ended up falling down on the ground floor from the roof of the house. :emoji_thinking:

Second unit purchased from Pepperfry also failed to fly.

at least there were no balls involved in the process.

Yesterday saw news that Mumbai Police have banned such flying lanterns as they cause fires.
