Invention Of Paper

Paper, Paper! This small thing is so abundant that now it seems like a natural product...But did you know when and how it arrived in our world? So today I will tell the old story of...paper!

In ancient times, before paper was invented, writing was usually done on bones, bamboo tablets or animal skin! People were asked to carry all these in a big bag and it was hard for them! But there was a Chinese man in the Han dynasty in 105 AD! This man's name was Cai Lun and once, he saw a wasp knitting its nest, which gave him an idea!

He took bamboo fibers, mixed it with water and pounded them with any wooden tool!

Later when it was thoroughly mixed,  he poured out the mixture and let it dry in sunlight. After some hours, the world's first paper was there!

He showed it to the emperor and he praised him for the amazing work he had done!

Now the paper was easy to make, writers were happy and of course, it was light weighted

 Did you know that even if the Chinese kept it a secret, it spread after the defeat of the Chinese T'ang army in 751 AD!

So liked this invention? See you next time with more fun blogs!

The Triplet Brothers Part 4

It was none other than his father (His old family's). "Son, it's finally time for you to know the truth.." said his OLD dad. "Well, you are one of us! I really liked you, but my family forced me to be this bad with you! I just disliked it so much but if not then they would abandon me which I never wanted to happen, I am really sorry son :(" continued his dad. "So that means, you like me?" asked Joe. "Yes, of course!" murmured his dad in his ear. The truth was finally out, now it was time to teach them a lesson! Just a piece of paper doesn't decided your future! Same here with Joe!

The One And Only...TAJ MAHAL!

Taj Mahal is a white marbled, stunning monument in Agra! It is a really well-made one and with secrets!  This monument was made by Shah Jahan in the memories of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal! This place is located on the southern bank of river Yamuna! This built was completed by 1643 and this project was at a cost of 32 million rupees! Which right now, could be 70 billion rupees! Expensive..! It is regarded by many as the best example of Mughal Architecture and a symbol of India's rich history. The Taj Mahal attracts 7–8 million visitors a year! Lot of people for me to have a hand on! Ooo! in 2007, it was declared a winner of the New 7 Wonders Of The World! The Taj Mahal has a 300 meter, square  Mughal Garden! Flowers!!!!! My favorite! UNESCO documented more than 2 million visitors in 2001, which had increased to about 7–8 million in 2014. A lot of people! Now comes my opinion...hmmm! What to say? Aha! My opinion is that it is a well built monument in Agra! It mak...
