all get-togethers. However, you are sensitive, which

play with words while dealing with you, it is enough
to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!

loving person. You best try to avoid a situation

tactfully derive work from people. You love being

Volcano waiting to erupt. You’re a fashion bird.

You are near to perfect and nice at heart. The
examples of your kindness are always circulated in
groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn’t
like to retaliate even to a person who is in the
wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to
talk behind one’s back. People love the way you always
treat them. You can give, give and give love, and the
best part is that you do not expect it back in return.
You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical
light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful,

friends and good at consoling people in their times of
need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away

in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever

love….

pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere
without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and
love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and
proper. You like all situations and things to be in
the way you desire, which sometimes is not possible.
As a result, you may lose out in some relationships.

difficult and tight spots when they really need you.

yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be
dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you
then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your
precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee
anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you
from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you
people are!

HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR?

Filed under: General Knowledge — docrkedia @ 12:15 am

When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc.,
How many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror
hanging
on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror i.e., they can
see you, but you can’t see them. There have been many cases of people
installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or
bedrooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by
just
looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty
what
type of mirror we are looking at?

CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST:
Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if
there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then
it is a GENUINE mirror.

However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail,
then BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! (There is someone seeing you from
the
other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the
“fingernail test.” It doesn’t cost you anything. It is simple to do.

The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is on
the back of the mirror UNDER the glass.

Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in
mind! Make sure and check every time you enter in hotel rooms. May be
someone is making a film on you.
