Unknown Cameos Of Actors Who Became Popular Stars Later

Cameos or guest roles in a film surprise the audiences and bring some sort of excitement. Though cameos were initially rare in Tollywood but in the recent times they have become common. The makers of respective films are bringing in recognized actors or actresses for the sake of publicity and we have seen many noted star actors gracing the silver screen for a few minutes in this regard. But, before becoming popular, quite a few actors did guest roles (probably we can call it as their initial stages of struggle) and we as audience hardly recognized them, even at a later point of time. Here is the list of unknown cameos of actors who became popular in their later years.

Deposits above Rs 2.5 lakh to face tax, 200% penalty on income mismatch


NEW DELHI: The government on Wednesday warned that cash deposits above Rs 2.5 lakh threshold under the 50-day window could attract tax plus a 200 per cent penalty in case of income mismatch.
"We would be getting reports of all cash deposited during the period of November 10 to December 30, 2016, above a threshold of Rs 2.5 lakh in every account.
"The (tax) department would do matching of this with income returns filed by the depositors. And suitable action may follow," revenue secretary Hashmukh Adhia said tonight.(nov9,2016)
Any mismatch with income declared by the account holder will be treated as a case of tax evasion.
"This would be treated as a case of tax evasion and the tax amount plus a penalty of 200 per cent of the tax payable would be levied as per the Section 270(A) of the Income Tax Act," he said.

The government has allowed citizens to deposit in their bank accounts old currency of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denominations , which had been declared invalid in the nation's biggest crackdown on blackmoney, corruption and counterfeit notes, between November 10 and December 30.
Adhia said small businessmen, housewives, artisans and workers who had some cash lying as their savings at home should not be worried about any tax department scrutiny.
"Such group of people... need not worry about such small amount of deposits up to Rs 1.5 or 2 lakh since it would be below the taxable income. There will be no harassment by the Income Tax Department for such small deposits made," he said.

On people resorting to buying of jewelery, he said persons buying jewelery has to provide the PAN number.
"We are issuing instructions to the field authorities to check with all the jewellers to ensure this requirement is not compromised.
"Action will be taken against those jewellers who fail to take PAN numbers from such buyers. When the cash deposits of the jewellers would be scrutinised against the sales made, whether they have taken the PAN number of the buyer or not will also be checked," he added.

Why Do Men’s and Women’s Shirts Button on Different Sides?



If You've ever accidentally tried on a shirt intended for the opposite gender, you no doubt figured it out as soon as you tried to button the buttons. Why do clothiers put the buttons for men and women on the opposite side of the shirt?

Why Do Men’s and Women’s Shirts Button on Different Sides?

If you’ve ever had to fold the laundry of men and women (or if you’ve ever accidentally put on a piece of women’s clothing in the dressing room without realizing it), you’ve invariably noticed that while men’s shirts have their buttons on the right side, women’s shirts have their buttons on the left side. Why is this?



Though there’s no historical record or museum with an exhibit devoted to buttons (and/or factual logic as to why a person’s sex would have anything to do with said buttons’ orientation), most sources seem to cite the same simple rationale that dates back over a century.
Mens’ buttons are on the right side because men have always tended to dress themselves and most men (and women, for that matter) are right-handed.



Womens’ buttons are on the left side because years ago (say, during the Victorian Era), the women that could afford fancy clothing with a bunch of buttons would rely on maids to help dress them. So, if a servant (most of whom, naturally, would be right-handed) is going to routinely buttoning up a shirt/dress for someone else, that servant is going to prefer to have the buttons on their right side (which would be the left side of the garment.

CALM YOUR NERVES INSTANTLY

You can soothe your nerves using a simple technique called "The Diving Reflex"

What actually is the diving reflex?

The mammalian diving reflex is a reflex in mammals which optimizes respiration to allow staying underwater for extended periods of time. It is exhibited strongly in aquatic mammals (seals, otters, dolphins, etc.), but exists in weaker versions in other mammals, including humans.

In other words, when your body comes in contact with cold water, it automatically responses with:

  • Decrease in heart rate by 10 to 25 percent (depending on the coldness)
  • Decrease in blood pressure.
  • Decrease in other symptoms of stress.
  • Purpose of this reflex: The diving reflex is the body's physiological response to submersion in cold water and includes selectively shutting down parts of the body in order to conserve energy for survival.


If you submerge your left arm in ice cold water, you'll experience a reboot in your heart. 

So How can you use the Diving Response?
If you are going to perform e.g. at a competition or at a business event, activating the diving reflex can help you relax. The diving reflex is activated by breath holds and by facial contact with cold water. If you cover your face, especially the forehead and the area around the nose (area of the trigeminal nerve) with a cold wet towel, the diving reflex will be activated. Because the diving reflex innervates the vagus nerve your pulse will drop and your body will relax. In this way you can quickly calm your nerves before a performance.
The maximum response (the braycardia effect) that is, highest reduction in heart rate and blood pressure, can be observed by holding your breath while submerging your face under cold water.

This also a well known ancient Indian technique to reduce stress and tensions

Why do staircases always have an odd number of steps?

Staircase have odd number of steps to prevent people from stumbling. Most people are right handed, so they naturally step with right foot first. And if the top stair will be an even stair then the person will be in it's left foot. But the brain is used to of right foot first, so the odd step will put them back on right foot, and there is less of a chance that a person might stumble.

Hence the Staircase have odd number of steps.

How do they get the graphite leads into a pencil?

Contrary to popular belief, it is not as if a hole was drilled into the pencil and the lead was inserted into it. It is simply two halves being glued together.

Below is the pictorial representation of how a single block of wood is made into pencils:


Here is the top/bottom view of how it would look like:

Mind-blowing facts about food

It is amazing how Nature has given us hints about food that is beneficial for us in terms of its resemblance to our organs. Following are some examples:
  1. Walnut- brain
Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are similar to those of the neo-cortex. Known as the ultimate “brain food”, Walnuts contain vitamin E, folate, melatonin, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants that work to improve brain function.
2Carrot – Eye
It is clear that a sliced carrot resembles an eye, it even has patterns of radiating lines that look just like the pupil and iris! Beta-carotene (what gives carrots their vibrant orange colour) helps to maintain healthy eyesight, protects against macular degeneration, and the development of cataracts.
3. Celery-bone
Celery, Rhubarb, Bok-choy and more look just like bones structure. These foods specifically target bone strength. Celery contains silicon, which is part of what gives bones their strength. Here’s an astonishing fact: bones are 23% sodium, and celery is also 23% sodium.
4. Tomato- heart
A Tomato has four chambers and is red in color, so also the heart is red and has four chambers. Research has confirmed that tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and it is indeed pure heart and blood food.
5. Avocado – Uterus
Avocados are shaped like the uterus and cervix, and avocados have been shown to balance hormones and prevent cervical cancer! And guess what? Just as it takes exactly 9 months for a baby to fully develop in the womb, it takes an avocado exactly 9 months to grow from a blossom into a ripened fruit!
6. Sweet potato- Pancreas
sweet potato has a striking resemblance to the pancreas, and has been shown to help the pancreas do its job by helping to stabilize blood sugar levels and can actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics. Sweet potatoes are also naturally high in Vitamin B6, which studies have shown inhibits the growth of pancreatic cancer!
7. Ginger – Stomach
Ginger looks like the stomach and aids in digestion! Ginger has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for stomach health. Gingerol, the ingredient that gives ginger it’s strong scent and taste, is listed in the USDA database of phytochemicals as having the ability to prevent nausea and vomiting.
8. Grapes – Lungs
Grapes, especially heirloom concord grapes, resemble the alveoli of the lungs. The alveoli of the lungs allow oxygen to pass from the lungs to the bloodstream. A diet high in fresh grapes has shown to reduce the risk of lung cancer! Grape seeds also contain a chemical called proanthocyanidin, which can reduce the severity of allergy-triggered asthma.
9. Kidney beans- Kidneys
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and are shaped exactly like the human kidneys (hence their name). Kidney beans provide a variety of minerals and vitamins, and so are generally beneficial for your health. If your kidneys are healthy, kidney beans can -- when consumed as part of a balanced diet -- contribute to your kidney health. If your kidneys are diseased, you might need to moderate your intake of kidney beans.

One night stand

On a long walk🚶 in the woods, Ramesh found himself out late and decided to look for a place to rest the night. He finally found a hut in the middle of the woods and knocked on the door. An old man answered, and he agreed to give RAMESH a bed for the night on one condition: the man's teenaged daughter would be in the other bed, and Ramesh was not to touch her or disturb her sleep in any way. Ramesh agreed, but changed his mind when he saw how beautiful the sleeping girl was and, while she didn't respond to his caresses, she didn't push him away either.
The next morning, Ramesh awoke alone, but he figured the girl had gone to do her chores and he eagerly awaited her return. Instead the old man walked in, wiping the tears from his eyes. “What's wrong?” asked Ramesh .
“Oh, I've just come back from the cemetery -- we had my little girl's funeral this morning.
But thank you so much for sitting up with her body last night.”. 😜 😂 😂
