*Teacher Ne Class Mein Baccho Se Ek Question Puchha.*..⁉️ 

 *Question* : “How To Identify Murga & Murgi?”

Fadu Answer By Chintu The Great: “Patthar Maro Aur Dekho Agar,🤔🤫

=======================

*😳WHY❓❓❓*

=======================

*Why do we generally get so angry when hungry?* 

When your blood sugar gets too low, it triggers a cascade of hormones, including cortisol (a stress hormone) and adrenaline (the fight-or-flight hormone). These hormones are released into your bloodstream to raise and rebalance your blood sugar. The release of cortisol can cause aggression in some people.
