I have actually been a terrible neighbor. Basically, where we lived we would get a lot of snails when it rained — I mean buckets full of them. It was a ritual of my mother’s to go out and collect them all and “dispose” of them. Being a 6-year-old, I absolutely loved snails and would feel really bad for the little guys and would go out and grab as many as I could in order to “save” them, of course, it made sense for me to simply throw them over the fence into my neighbor’s yard where they could go live happily. It was only much later that I overheard a conversation between my neighbor and my mother in which she was saying all her roses had been almost destroyed by snails, the worse part being that they apparently belonged to her husband (the roses) who had passed away so they held a lot of sentimental value. After that, the snails got “released” to the house behind us which belonged to people my mother didn’t like so no harm done. © Sugarbombs / Reddit
When we first moved into our current house, we gave our neighbors a set of keys just in case of any emergencies, or if there was something we needed while away on vacation. About 2 months later, our family came home from our trip a day and a half early. We pull up to our house and see a bunch of cars in our driveway, hear the pool and jacuzzi pumps running, and see all the lights on. We see a giant mess in the kitchen, every plate, glass, and piece of silverware we owned scattered about the house. The look on the face of the neighbor’s wife in the jacuzzi was priceless; a combination of utter shock and heightening fear as she saw my 6-foot dad turning red in the face with intensifying anger.

Have you ever met celebrities who seemed kind to you or did they do something unforgettable ?
Do you know someone who ’ s had a similar experience ?
Tell us in the comment section , we want to read what you have to say !

Sometimes meeting celebrities or working with them can be a life-changing experience. Fans of celebrities like the well-known Benedict Cumberbatch, Angelina Jolie, and Jim Carrey, among others, shared their personal memories. While keeping up with their busy schedules, some celebrities managed to make time for everyone — from a cancer survivor to a restaurant waiter.
We at Bright Side firmly believe that being nice never goes out of style, so we found several celebrities who’ve proven that little acts of kindness can lead to big changes!
1. Daniel Radcliffe shows his manners everywhere!
I served Daniel Radcliffe his dessert at an event, and tripped and spilled some of it on him, probably due to the fact that I realized that I was serving Daniel Radcliffe, and he stood up and started apologizing profusely to ME. He was very sweet and asking if I was ok. eggsmashumactually / Reddit
2. Robin Williams turned out to be very attentive toward his fans.
My mom spotted Robin Williams once and she went up to him and asked if she could get a quick photo. She didn’t realize he was there in the middle or about to do something with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, so she waited until they were done around 20-30 min later and then a bunch of the kids and people around also wanted photos with him — he made it a point to stick around and told his staff, “I think that woman wanted a photo,” and made sure she got it. Mom was thrilled. He was such a humble nice dude. TheJadedSF / Reddit
3. Harry Styles loves dogs!
I was outside a restaurant in Hollywood trying to pick up my take out order, but couldn’t go in because I was with my puppy. Harry Styles saw my predicament, tapped me on the shoulder, and said he could watch Oscar while I went in. What a guy! rorydcarroll / twitter
4. Kobe Bryant encouraged his fans to play basketball.
I met Kobe Bryant twice. Once when I was 11, I was with my dad at work (at a restaurant in Newport Beach) and he was there with some guys I can’t remember, he gave me his ball cap and signed it. Then again a couple years later at the Staples Center. He gave me his shoes and jersey. I was freaking over the moon. He was so nice and asked me questions about my basketball team and then handed me a game ball. I will never forget that. psilvyy19 / Reddit
5. Henry Cavill shows how friendly he is.
I met Henry Cavil while working at AT&T. Helped him unlock his phone while he was in town shooting Man of Steel. Real nice dude, got a picture with him, and he even let me meet his dog out in the car! SlopiJalopi / Reddit
6. Jim Carrey is funny both in movies and in real life.
I met Jim Carrey when I was like 11 at a party my parents attended. I couldn’t stop staring at him. He was behaving so normally and then, when he noticed me staring, he did a mask facial expression and started staring at me. He’s a genuinely funny guy and probably has the purest heart. someboooooodeh / Reddit
7. David Adkins proves how much we need to get off of our phones.
My husband and I watched as Sinbad walked through a crowded airport gate unnoticed because everyone was on their phones and laptops. He was super nice and was like, “C’mon get this picture!!!” Once people noticed him, he disappeared. bRHOwn_eyedgirl / Twitter
8. Angelina Jolie shows her fervor for kids.
I was a teenager with cancer and super pissed off at the world. Angelina Jolie invited a group of us to her movie set and hung out with us for a little bit. My angsty self was a huge fan, and someone told her, so she sat me down for a talk, answered all my questions, and signed all my stuff. She was really kind and caring and a little shy. Not many sick kids were able to get to the set, so she showed up at the hospital the next day with a bag of toys and sat on the floor to play with everyone. I had already gone home, but I heard she asked about me. Spending time with those kids seemed really important to her and she really went out of her way to do so. runninlikeabandit / Reddit
9. Buzz Aldrin’s passion about space has no limits.
I was around Buzz Aldrin a bit for a couple of days at a conference. He was totally out of it (he’s battled depression and bad drinking issues, and has dementia and Alzheimer’s) and was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I told him I had written an essay about him and he was so excited to hear that. Just overwhelmingly positive and happy, especially if you ask him about space. There was an instance where he was asked about NASA and proceeded to throw his leg on a table and pull up his pants leg to show off his NASA socks. MalismMaggie / Reddit
10. Tom Waits shows how supportive he is of beginners.
I was a teenager and playing music/busking with my friends outside a Whole Foods. Tom Waits, when walking in, stops and listens for a while. When he came back out after shopping, he gave each of us a $100 bill. He was super nice and wanted to support us for playing odd music, because we had an accordion and a washboard. scrabapple / Reddit
11. Ronnie DeVoe keeps being nice to his fans!
I picked up Ronnie DeVoe in my car as a Lyft driver and happened to be playing New Edition from my ITunes play list. I looked in the rearview mirror and noticed it was him, and he was smiling. Omg he was so nice! islandgirl222 / Twitter
12. Ciara made her fan’s birthday special!
Ran into Ciara at Morrow’s in New Orleans on my 25th birthday. Super random! But she was really nice. princess_neeks / Twitter
13. Despite being busy, Future would never break his fan’s heart!
Met Future years ago at the PHL airport when I worked there (before he was really famous). Pointed him out and told him that I listen to his mixtapes, one of his entourage dismissed me. Before they left I asked him could I get a pic and he MADE the entourage guy who dismissed me take the picture of us! Leetrele / Twitter
14. James Arthur’s humbleness questioned his identity.
I was walking in Covent Garden on a trip with school. James Arthur casually walks by us eating a chicken salad sandwich. We obviously weren’t sure if it was him, so to check I shouted, “James Arthur!” He came over and got pics with us all and chatted and was so so nice and humble. _mickeyt / Twitter
15. Once Sherlock — always Sherlock.
Met the extremely lovely Benedict Cumberbatch when he was filming Sherlock at my office. Later got told off by a member of the production crew for peeping at him topless (hahaha). Amy__Turtle / Twitter

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has a special place in the film industry because it brought a golden age of superhero movies with it, with more than 20 big productions released between 2008 and 2019. Most of the characters were played by the same actor or actress in all of these movies and fans have witnessed how they have changed together with their characters who have become popular over the years.
So now, at Bright Side, we’ve looked at the most popular characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to compare the looks of its characters from beginning to end. Find out below how your favorite superhero has changed from his or her first movie to his or her last one.
1. Iron Man
Robert Downey Jr. is the man behind the iron armor and one of the main characters that gave rise to phase one in the construction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in 2008. Not only did he play the lead character in the Iron Man trilogy and The Avengers saga, but he also appeared in The Incredible Hulk, Captain America: Civil War, and Spider-Man: Homecoming.
2. Captain America
Actor Chris Evans was in charge of bringing Steve Rogers and his alter ego, Captain America to life between 2011 and 2019 not only in the Captain America trilogy, but also in The Avengers saga. He soon became one of the most beloved Marvel characters and except for Avengers: Infinity War, his look almost didn’t change.
3. Hulk
First played by Edward Norton in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, the role of the furiously strong Bruce Banner was given to Mark Ruffalo. After the release of The Avengers in 2012, Ruffalo and Hulk became one. And because the character gained complexity and the public reacted well to his backstory, it was further developed as did his look. The lack of a standalone Hulk film allowed the character to play a more prominent role in other films of the saga such as Avengers: Endgame.
4. Thor
Thor is one of the most popular characters of the Marvel Universe. He has appeared not only in his trilogy, but also in 4 of The Avengers movies. Actor Chris Hemsworth brought the superhero son of Odin to life since 2011 and he’s clearly one of the characters that has changed looks many times along the saga. He’s cut his hair short, then let it grow back, dyed his hair, and he even gained muscle.
5. Black Widow
This character made her debut in the Marvel Universe with Iron Man 2, only to become one of the main characters of the Avengers’ group. Scarlett Johansson brought Natasha Romanoff to the big screen and her performance became so renowned that Marvel is already working on her standalone sequel to be released in 2020. Look how she has changed in the last 10 years.
6. Hawkeye
Jeremy Renner played Clint Barton, better known as Hawkeye, an expert in archery that first served on Nick Fury’s espionage team S.H.I.E.L.D. (Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division) and then rejoined the Avengers. Just like Natasha Romanoff, this character has kept a similar look in all of his movies since The Avengers in 2012 to Avengers: Endgame in 2019.
7. Nick Fury
Renowned actor Samuel L. Jackson was chosen to bring the espionage expert and director for the S.H.I.E.L.D. agency, Nick Fury, to the big screen. He then became a recurring character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after his brief appearance in Iron Man 2 (2010) and in Spider-Man: Far from Home (2009). Although his clothing and general appearance have not evolved, you can clearly see a more mature Nick Fury in the newest releases.
8. Ant-Man
Never in his wildest dreams did Scott Lang think that he’d become Ant-Man and actor Paul Rudd is in charge of playing this character in the standalone movie Ant-Man and its sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp. Ant-Man also appeared in Captain America: Civil War and in Avengers: Endgame. In order to better compare how this character evolved, we used a picture from the first and the last movie. As you can see, Paul Rudd has barely changed over the course of 4 years.
9. Scarlet Witch
Wanda Maximoff, better known as the Scarlet Witch, was played by Elizabeth Olsen. She made her first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but it was in The Avengers: Age of Ultron where her character really gained more relevance in the story. Although, so far, she last appeared in Avengers: Endgame, the Scarlet Witch is most likely set to come back to the big screen in other spin-offs. She will also have a leading role in the series WandaVision.
10. Star-Lord
Peter Quill, also known as the Star-Lord, is one of the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy squad together with Rocket Raccoon and others. Actor Chris Pratt was chosen to bring Star-Lord to the big screen in both of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. He also made special appearances in different movies of the Avengers saga. This is one of the characters that has barely changed in the last 5 years.
11. Spider-Man
Spider-Man was mostly known for the first trilogy starring Tobey McGuire first and then Andrew Garfield, but it was Tom Holland who succeeded in playing the role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as part of the Avengers team. Although Holland hasn’t changed much physically, Spider-Man’s suit did get a few adaptions. Check out the differences between his first appearance in Captain America: Civil War, where he wears the traditional red costume and Spider-Man: Far From Home, where his suit is slightly more techie and synthetic-looking.
12. Black Panther
T’Challa, the king of Wakanda who fights for justice under the alias of Black Panther made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Captain America: Civil War. Its popularity led to a standalone movie and also to his appearance in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Actor Chadwick Boseman played Black Panther in all of the movies and you can easily see how he has changed over the years.
13. Stephen Strange
British actor Benedict Cumberbatch was chosen to bring Dr. Stephen Strange to the big screen, who made his debut in theaters with Doctor Strange. He also made a special appearance in Thor: Ragnarok and became one of the Avengers for Infinity War and Endgame. As you can see, the character has appeared multiples times with different looks in these Marvel movies. We’re expecting a new release of Doctor Strange’s adventures while we wonder what he will look like in the future...
14. Captain Marvel
Even though Brie Larson, the actress that brought Captain Marvel to the screens, has barely appeared in 2 Marvel movies, her look has very noticeably changed. Check out how she went from Captain Marvel with long blond hair to Avengers: Endgame with a ’60s tomboy haircut in the same year. While producers are working on a new episode of the standalone story, we also wonder what Larson’s look will be and if she will keep any of the previous ones.
15. Loki
If you thought villains had no place on our list, well, you were wrong. We couldn’t help but add Thor’s charismatic brother Loki to the list, played by actor Tom Hiddleston. Loki has a long history in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starting with Thor in 2011 through Avengers: Infinity War in 2018 or Avengers: Endgame in 2019. He will be back shortly in the soon to be released series. Do you notice any changes in his appearance?
16. Bucky Barnes
The winter soldier, played by Sebastian Stan, was also one of the villains that lived long enough to appear in various movies of the Cinematic Universe. His role was especially important in the Captain America trilogy, not to mention Avengers: Endgame. A clear evolution can be seen in his character. Already in Endgame his hair is longer and he let his beard grow. But the story of this character is far from over. He is expected to co-star in a new Marvel movie in 2020, together with the next member of the Avengers squad on the list.
17. Falcon
That’s right, Sam Wilson will go on new adventures with Bucky in a Marvel series that will be released very soon this year. Falcon, who is brought to the big screen by Anthony Mackie, made his debut in the franchise with Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He appeared in Captain America: Civil War and in 3 Avengers movies as well. He also had a special appearance in Ant-Man. His looks have hardly changed except for the short beard he grew for Avengers: Endgame.
18. Gamora
Zoë Saldana played the character of Gamora, one of the leading roles in Guardians of the Galaxy, as part of the squad that gave name to the film. Her looks have barely changed between her debut film in 2014 and Avengers: Infinity War or Avengers: Endgame. It seems like time hasn’t taken its toll on her. If anything, the only slight change we’ve noticed is that she has become a bit more of a redhead than in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
19. Phil Coulson
Despite not being one of the most popular characters from the comics, thanks to the magic of the film industry, Phil Coulson became a beloved character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Above you can see how Clark Gregg, the actor that plays S.H.I.E.L.D.’s top-level official, changed from 2008’s Iron Man to 2019’s Captain Marvel where he joins Nick Fury on his adventures. Can you spot any differences?
20. Pepper Potts
Tony Stark could have hardly become a better person without the unbreakable patience of his personal assistant, Virginia “Pepper” Potts, who later became his wife. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow brought Pepper Potts to the big screen and thanks to her excellent performance and quality as an actress, her character has reappeared in more than 5 movies, among them, the Iron Man trilogy and Avengers: Endgame.
Bonus: Stan Lee
Of course, we cannot forget the brains behind the whole operation, the genius that conceived most of these beloved characters, Stan Lee. He has actually made some special appearances and cameos in every movie where his characters were brought to the big screen. Every time a new movie was announced, fans couldn’t wait to see him again, even before the creation of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe as we know it today. His last appearance was in Avengers: Endgame, but it was a posthumous cameo.

Dads bake cakes for their daughters and sons from scratch and on their own .

Fathers make cakes for their kids, turn their rooms into a wonderland, invent bags that transform into diaper-changing stations, and even dye their beards in radiant colors to surprise their kids. They do everything and anything to make their offspring feel loved and protected and often treat the pitfalls of fatherhood with humor and fun.
We at Bright Side couldn’t help but smile while looking at pics of dads who nailed parenting like pros and we’d like to share them with you.

5. “A dad is a canvas when a daughter wants to practice.”
6. “Built my first PC at age 13 with my dad!”
7. “I’m embracing single-parenthood by getting the family pictures I always wanted.”
8. What happens when you leave a dad alone with the baby:
9. “I recently turned 21 and was going to move out. Here’s the present from my dad on my twenty-first birthday. Thank you, Dad!”
10. “I built a tree in my daughter’s bedroom.”
11. “My daughter wanted to be Dwight from The Office, so that made my costume decision easy.”
12. “My daughter has been sleeping on the floor because her crippled cat couldn’t reach the bed. I made her bed handi-cat accessible.”
13. “A homemade Horizon Zero Dawn Aloy costume I made for my daughter. I also did her hair.”
14. “I work at the movies and this dad-daughter duo made my night.”

16. “Single dad curlers, 100 for $.50 — I’ll let you know if they work.”
17. “My 4-yr-old daughter on a high humidity day after moderate activity — her mom thinks I make the curls one by one.”

19. “My husband had this costume planned for several years, long before we had a child. The inspiration was a computer game he played in high school.”

Bright Side prepared a list of foolproof, yet effective tips that can help you to win people over, even if you are an introvert to the core. Make sure you save them!
1. Make them like you from the very beginning.
Put effort into establishing a warm and positive connection to let people form a special impression of you. The win-win option here is always going to be a sincere smile. However, just one emotion is not enough. A personalized touch like a handshake, a quick tap on the shoulder, or even a short hug, plays a significant role. The most important thing here is to try to feel the energy of the other person and follow their body language with your own gestures.
2. Engage them in talking about themselves.
Most people love talking about themselves, so you can make use of this. Ask them about their hobbies, the places they’ve been or might want to visit, plans for the weekend, and much more. Don’t get too private, as this can make a person feel uncomfortable and they might even try to push you away. Also, it’s good to avoid closed questions where the answer is just a simple “yes” or “no.” Instead, make use of the question, “Why?” or “How?” — it gives the other person an awesome opportunity to talk more about a chosen topic.
3. Put an emphasis on the similar traits you both share.
We tend to be attracted to people who are somewhat similar to us, and this has a name: the “similarity-attraction effect.” Try to find something that might be similar in you and the person you’re talking to. It can be your taste in music, a certain food you both like to eat, or a sport you both enjoy watching. After you’ve found it out, you need to make use of it by discussing it with this person or inviting them to visit the place where you can both enjoy this activity. These simple things might not seem like they are very important, but they do a great job of making people feel personally connected to you, and help them enjoy being around you.
4. Compliment the things that people struggle with the most.
Some compliments can awaken a completely different range of feelings in us. Just complimenting someone’s smile or eye color is not going to make much difference for a person, they will probably see it as a very neutral thing. Naturally, they didn’t earn these things, they are just a part of who they are. The key here is to notice the thing that a person struggled with the most and praise them for it.
For example, let’s say that you know that this person worked day and night on a project, and it turned out to be a huge success. Admiring their hard work and effort will awaken a deep feeling of satisfaction, making them genuinely happy and even proud of themselves.
5. Don’t forget to always be mindful of your body language.
Even if we don’t notice it, crossed arms and legs tell others that we can’t be trusted and that we’re hiding something. But no matter how hard it might be for you, try to open your stance. The best thing you can do is to keep your spine and legs straight and your hands open with your palms turned toward other people. Putting a relaxed and inviting look on your face will make other people feel more comfortable being around you, and naturally, like you more.
6. Share the truth about your flaws.
Some people can get extremely irritated when others try to act like they are perfect. Sharing your weaknesses and failures can make you appear genuine and allow the people around you to feel closer and more engaged with you. Though, make sure you don’t overdo it and talk about all your failures and bad moments, otherwise the effect will be just the opposite.
7. Know how to ask for help.
Making people think that you need them is always better than asking them to simply do something for you. It makes people feel good about themselves and like you on a deeper level. © Doctor_Philly/Reddit
8. Be the first one to make a joke.
Instead of waiting for someone to loosen up the tension in the room, be the one who takes action — make a funny yet harmless comment about the situation you are in, the things you’re working on, etc. If you’ve known the person long enough, you can sometimes tease them in a friendly way, but remember that you should never attack their identity or laugh at something that they can’t change about themselves. Whoever you are teasing needs to be laughing along with you. And don’t forget to laugh at yourself from time to time as well.
9. Laugh at someone else’s jokes too.
Support others’ attempts at making the atmosphere more friendly. By laughing along, you will support the other person and help them see that you are listening to them. Even if someone makes a bad joke, you can turn it into a funny one by having a good laugh. This way, you will make other people go along with it and make everyone feel good. Always remember: laugh with them, not at them!
10. To be interesting, act interested.
Most of the time, people like to talk rather than listen, and they only appreciate those who pay attention to them. One of the ways to appear as a careful and attentive listener is by repeating the phrases that the person you’re talking to just said. For example, use question tags like, “I know, right?!”. In addition, don’t forget to play with encouraging words like, “Exactly!” or “That’s right!” and so on. This technique is also called an “emotionally reflective response.”
11. Be a magnet for people around you and engage them.
Don’t blend in with the atmosphere and the people that are present in the room. Instead, try to be an enthusiastic person. Attract others into having short, but meaningful chats or even longer conversations. Try to be one level higher and don’t be scared of appearing silly. Your positive energy won’t go unnoticed — people will eagerly join in and tag along.
12. Surprise people when they don’t expect it.
When people receive something pleasant from others that they didn’t ask for, it gives them an extraordinarily good feeling. Don’t be afraid of surprising others with something they might like, without asking their permission to do so. For example, if you are at work and want to go grab yourself a sandwich, you could also grab one more for your colleague. This surprising action will stick in their mind for a long time, and you will be seen as a friendly and nice person.
13. Make friends with other people’s friends.
Having people in common, like mutual friends who have “similarities,” really matters for us. Establishing a friendship with the acquaintances of others can play a big role in building trust with all of them. Also, it makes people feel closer to each other when they have a couple of similar friends. And it’s a good way to expand the group of people you are in right now.
14. Proper eye contact can help you.
Notice the other person’s eye color. It’s needed for establishing good eye contact. The time it takes to notice other people’s eye color is the most comfortable length of eye-to-eye contact: not too long and uncomfortable for your interlocutor, yet just long enough for them to feel at ease with you.

It is almost impossible to get a compliment in this day and time. Despite that, there are some people who have received “compliments” that made their jaws drop, but not necessarily out of happiness. Instead, the good intentions of the person giving the compliment kind of backfired, and it’s no wonder: if you tell someone that they have anime eyes, that their perfume reminds you of burnt marshmallows, or that you are falling in love with their grandmother glasses, they might have a good reason to run. But these are just a few of the examples that Bright Side readers have shared with us when we asked them: What is the weirdest compliment you’ve ever received?

Let’s take a look at Kailasa temple, the oldest single rock carving in the world. Being one of the most visited places by both locals and foreign tourists, it is also the focus of archaeologists, since they still cannot find the answer to how they could build this masterpiece by using ancient traditional methods.
Today, at Bright Side, we’d like to show you a mysterious temple located in one of the cradles of civilization. So, grab a cup of coffee and let’s go to explore one of the best kept secrets of India!
World’s oldest and largest rock-carving
The Kailasa temple is one of the most visited places in the world. The charming fact is that almost nothing is known about its origins, sculptors, or builders. Experts and archaeologists are still having trouble even giving it an exact age. Although there is definitive epigraphical evidence to show that Kailasa was executed under the patronage of Rashtrakuta monarch Krishna I (756-774 CE).
At first, it was suggested that the temple was built in a mere 19 years. However, based on the multitude of distinct architectural and sculptural styles that are present in the temple, combined with its enormous size, some scholars believe that it was built over several centuries.
The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Let’s go inside! Within the courtyard, there is a central shrine dedicated to Shiva. This shrine was carved with niches, windows, columns, inner and outer rooms, gathering halls, images of deities, and a stone lingam (an abstract representation of Shiva) at the center.
It’s carved from top to bottom.
Workers cut the rock temple into a U shape. Towards the top, you see carvings of elephants that point your way down. On the bottom of the main building it appears as if an army of huge stone elephants are holding up the entire temple. The elephants surround a 100-foot-tall pillar that appears to serve as the main edifice in the temple complex. Located in India, it’s part of the Ellora Caves and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
More than 7,000 laborers worked on it.
After thoroughly analyzing the number of man-hours and amount of effort involved, experts summarized that the scale at which the work was undertaken was enormous.
It is believed to have taken more than 7,000 laborers to complete the project. They worked for about 18 hours per day. Since there was no electricity in those days, they used mirrors to reflect the light inside the cave. In modern terms, it would take around 200 days, working 24 hours per day, to excavate the entire site using contemporary technology. That doesn’t even take into account the elaborate carvings all over the monolithic structure.
Undecipherable scripts are part of its secrets.
But this is not all. The temple itself is one big secret and holds incalculable puzzles inside. Archaeologists estimate there are more than 30 million Sanskrit carvings that have yet to be translated.
The tale of Kailasa temple
There is an interesting tale about the temple. Mughal King Aurangzeb, who destroyed thousands of Hindu temples, also tried to destroy the Kailasa temple. It is said that 1,000 people were sent to destroy the temple in the year 1682. They worked for 3 years, but they were only able to break and disfigure a few statues. He finally gave up on this task, realizing that it was impossible to completely destroy the temple. The rock was simply too hard to demolish, even though the original artisans only used hammers, chisels, and picks to construct it.

From time to time, you might find yourself looking for cool things you can do with kids that don’t involve screens. Sometimes, coming up with fun new ideas can be challenging, but in reality, there are still lots of new activities you can do. For example, you can give a little twist to ordinary drawing by making a life-size and colored version of yourself or create your own 3D city.
Try any of these 15 games and crafts put together by Bright Side.
1. Make a life size drawing.
After a few regular coloring pictures, your kid might get a little bored with it. They will for sure fall in love with coloring again when you suggest coloring life-size drawings of themselves.
2. Blow up a baby pool and put your kid in it with their toys.
Have your kids play safe and sound with their favorite toys in an inflatable pool.
3. Let them make puzzles to send to their friends.
Most kids like to play with their friends as much as possible. Unfortunately, this is not always an option. To solve this issue, you can suggest that your kids make a nice drawing for their friends. Once it is finished, glue it onto cardboard and cut it into puzzle pieces. Send it to friends and who knows, maybe your kids will get a puzzle in return!
4. Write letters to family.
Sometimes our loved ones live far away and it’s hard to visit them as much as we’d like. A good way to make kids feel closer to those family members is to create letters for them. Plus, it’s an excellent writing exercise.
5. Make your own 3D city.
Kids can make their dream city come to life with this fun activity. Have them plan the location of the streets on a simple piece of paper and then craft the buildings in 3D. For the buildings they can use toilet paper rolls or empty drinking cartons like shown in the picture.
6. Play inverted hide and seek.
To mix up the regular ’hide-and-seek’ game, you can try playing it inverted. How does this work? One person hides and all the others start looking. If you find the person, you join him/her in the hiding spot until everyone is together in that spot! The one who is the last to find the spot will be the first one to hide in the new round.
7. Decorate T-shirts or linen bags.
With some colored markers or paint you can let them get creative on shirts or linen bags. Tip: print out some pictures so that they can trace those lines or re-create the image.
8. Turn kids into little creative chefs.
It’s always fun to have your kids help you with the regular cooking or baking cookies. To make this experience even more pleasant, you can first ask the kids to create their own recipes (based on their favorite foods) and then cook what they invented.
9. Make tissue box monsters.
Any used tissue box will do. Later you can use them to put candy or toys inside or as a candy wrapper trash receptacle.
10. Create bookmarkers.
Not only will your kids love making bookmarks like this, after they are finished they will want to find their favorite book to insert the marks in as soon as possible!
11. Let your kids prepare a small show for you.
Kids will be busy preparing the show all day and later you will have fun with the whole family when you’re watching the show. You can even make it more official by buying a ticket from them for a few cents.
12. Start an indoor garden.
By using old eggs shells and putting in some seeds and soil, you can create a mini-garden for your kids. They can check the progress of the plants every day and will learn about responsibility in a playful way.
13. Let the kids go on a mission or a treasure hunt in the house.
Create some fun riddles and puzzles that you hide throughout the house. When each puzzle is solved, it will give the clue for where the next puzzle can be found. By making the puzzles easy or a bit harder you can adjust them to your child’s age. Of course there should be a prize at the end of the hunt!
14. Redecorate or rearrange their room.
To break the cycle of doing the same thing every day, you can have the kids rearrange their room. Put all their furniture in a slightly different place and redecorate. Their room will feel like a whole new place to play in.
15. Create toy parachutes.
You can use napkins, foil, some cloth, or anything else you can find around the house! Connect a little Lego man or any other toy to your parachutes and find out which material floats the best. You can do the same experiment with paper airplanes. Create different types and see which one flies further!
16. Do small science projects.
With some simple materials, you can have your kids do small science projects. For instance, let them do the rainbow milk experiment. Drop some food coloring in a shallow dish with whole milk, then cover a Q-tip in liquid soap and see what happens when you use it to gently touch the colored parts in the milk.
