Sunita Williams

India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that the record-breaking Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams was a "role model" for Indian children and a "Source of Inspiration" for the country's woman. Speaking to the astronaut over the phone, Singh told Williams that, "India feels proud of her unique achievement, even though she was a US citizen, and her contribution to the human quest for a better understanding of the Universe." 

The 42-year-old Williams, born to an Indian immigrant and an American mother, broke the world record for the longest stay by a woman in space, carrying out research at the International Space Station for 195 days.

మైక్రోవేవ్‌ ఒవెన్‌ వంటి ఎలక్ట్రానిక్‌ వస్తువులను శుభ్రం చేసేటప్పుడు కాస్త అవగాహన ఉంటే పని తేలికవుతుంది. * చెడు వాసనలు రాకపోయినా మైక్రోవేవ్‌ ఒవెన్‌ని అప్పుడప్పుడు శుభ్రం చేస్తూండాలి. తడి స్పాంజితో నలుమూలలా తుడవాలి. * వండిన పదార్థాల తాలుకు ఘాటైన వాసనలు వస్తుంటే మాత్రం పాత్రలు కడిగే ద్రావణం ఉపయెగించి స్పాంజ్‌తో లోపలి భాగాలు శుభ్రం చేయాలి. వెనిగర్‌తో ఎలాంటి వాసననైనా తొలగించవచ్చు. * నిమ్మరసం సహజమైన క్లెన్సర్‌గా పనిచేస్తుంది. దుర్వాసనలు తొలగించి సువాసనలు అందిస్తుంది. ఒక గిన్నెలో చెంచా బేకింగ్‌ పౌడర్‌ వేసి రెండు రోజులపాటు ఒవెన్‌లో ఉంచితే ఎటువంటి వాసనలు రావు.
