*WHY*
=======================
*What causes snoring?*
Snoring can be caused by enlarged tonsils, the nose structure or excess weight around the neck. During sleep, our neck muscles can relax so much that in some cases the throat partly closes and becomes narrow, causing the vibration sound known as snoring.
Snoring is noisy breathing during sleep due to vibrating airway tissue

*HOW IT WORKS* =======================
*How is a touchscreen works ?*
When an object, such as a fingertip or stylus tip, presses down onto the outer surface, the two layers touch to become connected at that point. The panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers, one axis at a time. By rapidly switching between each layer, the position of pressure on the screen can be detected.
A touchscreen is a bit like an invisible keyboard glued to screen. Essentially, every key on a keyboard is an electrical switch. When you push a key down, you complete an electric circuit and a current flows. The current varies according to the key you press and that’s how your computer figures out what you’re touching.

Vaman occur 1& 2step to Akash & Prithvi and for 3rd option, Bali asks Shri Vishnu to keep on his head…Shri Vishnu does it and Bali got mukti. That’s why we celebrated that day also as Bali pratipada. The Lord recognizing his attitude of surrender blessed him and sent him to Pathala with a promise of making him Indra in the next Manvanthara and that He Himself would guard the gates of Pathala.
Acceding to the request of Maha Bali’s people, Vishnu granted Maha Bali permission to return to his kingdom from Pathala, once every year, to be in the midst of his people. This day is celebrated as the Onam festival.
Onam or Thiruonam, usually held in August and September for 10 days, originated in Kerala as a celebration to remember the golden rule of King Mahabali, a mythical king who ruled over Kerala.
