*Why Mango becomes yellow when it is riped.* ⁉️🥭
The change in skin colour from green to yellow is a process that typically occurs during ripening of mangoes. The other ripening processes are softening, conversion of starch to sugars, loss of acidity, and the development of flavours and aromas.
The deep yellow colour of mango fruits is due to the presence of beta carotene a common phytochemical within a group of 600 known carotenoids. Similarly the red colour development in apples and purple colour development in grapes are due to the formation of anthocyanin pigments in their skin.

🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉ =========================
*How a lighter works* 🔥
A spark is created by striking metal against a flint, or by pressing a button that compresses a piezoelectric crystal (piezo ignition), generating an electric arc. In naphtha lighters, the liquid is sufficiently volatile, and flammable vapour is present as soon as the top of the lighter is opened.
Lighter fluid or lighter fuel may refer to: Butane, a highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gas used in gas-type lighters and butane torches. Naphtha, a volatile flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture used in wick-type lighters and burners.

(kindly inform, if given info is vary from actual facts🙏🏻) ==========================
*Legend associated with Markandeya* :-Mrikandu was a great rishi married to Marudvati. The couple were leading a happy married life. The only thing that was missing was a child. The sage was a devotee of Lord Shiva. One day pleased with his devotion and love. Lord Shiva appeared before Mrikandu. Shiva asked Mrikandu “You want 100 sons who will live long but will be foolish or do you want a very wise son who shall live till the age of 16 years”. Listening to Lord Shiva, Mrikandu chose the latter wish. Soon Mrikandu and his wife were blessed with a son. The son was named Markandeya. He was handsome and intelligent. Mrikandu ensured that his son learned all the Vedas and Shastras.
Markandeya instead of being afraid clasped the Shiva lingam. Yama got annoyed and threw his noose on Markandeya pulling the Shiva lingam also along with him. As soon as Yama pulled them, the Shiva lingam burst open and Lord Shiva appeared. He kicked Yama on his chest ordering him to go away. Lord Shiva ordered Yama to leave Markandeya, as he was his beloved devotee. Yama had to follow the orders of the Lord.From that day onward, Markandeya prayed to Lord Shiva ardently. Markandeya came home to his parents. Seeing him alive, they rejoiced and thanked Lord Shiva. Markandeya became a great sage and lived a long life.Even a prayer is made on this folklore, which states, “What can death do to me?” This story thus spreads the message that true love and devotion never goes waste.
