WHY

WHY*=======================
Pearcing the ears has a great importance in Indian ethos. Indian physicians and philosophers believe that piercing the ears helps in the development of intellect, power of thinking and decision making faculties. Talkativeness fritters away life energy. Ear piercing helps in speech-restraint. It helps to reduce impertinent behavior and the ear-channels become free from disorders. This idea appeals to the Western world as well, and so they are getting their ears pierced to wear fancy earrings as a mark of fashion.

*LEARN Sanskrit*
=======================
*How are you?*
कथमस्ति भवान्
(kathamasti bhavān)
कथमस्ति भवती (kathamasti bhavatī)
*Shumbha* means ‘doubting oneself’ and Nishumbha means ‘doubting others’. Combined, this refers to the aspect of doubting everything, at every step.
*HOW IT WORKS* 
=======================Interestingly, earthworms are hermaphrodites, which means they have both male and female sex organs.
Hermaphrodites, most need a mate to reproduce. During mating, two worms line up inverted from each other so sperm can be exchanged. The earthworms each have two male openings and two sperm receptacles, which take in the sperm from another mate.
They lay eggs which hatch after about three weeks. Earthworms don’t have lungs, and instead breathe through their skin!
