Why this becomes contentious (short explanation):

• States sometimes disagree on “surplus” versus “required” flow, and politics or emergency drinking-water needs can escalate disputes. BBMB’s releases therefore often get disputed in state forums and sometimes in courts, especially when reservoir levels are low or when one state seeks extra release for drinking water. Expect statements from BBMB, state irrigation departments and national coverage when such rows happen. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

Another factor that might contribute to chronic coldness is a Vitamin B12 Deficiency. B12 is crucial for nerve function and the production of red blood cells. A deficiency can lead to anemia (as mentioned before), but it can also cause nerve damage that makes you feel cold or experience tingling, particularly in your extremities. If you're vegetarian or vegan, or if you have digestive issues that limit nutrient absorption, this is a distinct possibility. You can often address it with supplements, but again, a proper diagnosis via blood work is a must. Don't self-medicate; see a doc!

If you’re in Kozhikode (Calicut), some standout web development institutes that focus on real-world projects and placement support are:
- Luminar Technolab (Kozhikode branch) – offers full-stack development with React, Node.js, and Python backend; strong placement network.
- Inmakes Infotech – known for blended learning and internship projects.
- Avodha Edutech – affordable full-stack and MEAN/MERN stack training.

What makes them stand out is hands-on learning — students build live projects and deploy them on GitHub/Netlify, giving you an actual portfolio to show recruiters.

When evaluating, ask for: (1) placement tie-ups, (2) trainer qualifications, and (3) post-course mentorship. Also verify if the curriculum covers Git, APIs, and responsive design, which employers expect now.

For a more local and arguably more authentic experience that leans into the regional North Indian flavors, you might want to hunt down a good Pal Dhaba or Punjabi Dhaba—there are a few scattered around the region. These places, like the one on Bhagsu Nag Road or the one near Kotwali Bazaar, often serve robust, slow-cooked non-veg curries like Mutton Rogan Josh or amazing Butter Chicken with fresh tandoori rotis. The atmosphere is simple, but the flavors are usually huge and deeply satisfying. This is the comfort food of the region, and it's what I always recommend for a "delicious" non-veg meal after a long day of sightseeing. Just remember, these spots can be very casual!

Scientific explanation: Respiration is called an exothermic reaction because it releases energy in the form of heat and ATP when glucose reacts with oxygen. The chemical equation is:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy (ATP + heat)

The energy released helps organisms perform activities like muscle contraction, cell repair, and temperature regulation. Unlike combustion, this happens gradually inside cells through a controlled enzymatic process, preventing damage while still releasing energy.

Simplified: “Exo” means outside — energy goes out. So respiration gives energy to the organism, making it exothermic.

Example: after exercise, you feel warm because your cells release heat during rapid respiration.

Respiration is considered an exothermic reaction because it releases energy in the form of heat. An exothermic reaction is simply any chemical reaction where the total energy released by forming new bonds is greater than the total energy required to break the old bonds.

In the context of biology, specifically cellular respiration, the overall chemical equation is the oxidation of glucose:

$$C_6H_{12}O_6(aq) + 6O_2(g) \rightarrow 6CO_2(g) + 6H_2O(l) + \text{Energy (ATP + Heat)}$$

Glucose is a high-energy molecule. When it reacts with oxygen, it breaks down into lower-energy, more stable molecules (carbon dioxide and water). The difference in energy between the reactants (glucose and oxygen) and the products (carbon dioxide and water) is released. A large portion of this released energy is trapped in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for the body's use, but a significant part is released as heat, which is why mammals maintain a warm body temperature! The net release of heat makes the reaction exothermic.

Context matters: If you're asking "what is the primary reason for your score?" in a test/assignment or product review, the honest answer is usually a combination of preparation, understanding of the evaluation criteria, and execution (time management, accuracy). But the single most influential factor in most scoring situations tends to be how well you aligned your preparation with the scoring rubric.

For exams or assignments, students who score highest are those who understand what markers are looking for — they structure answers to match marks allocation, use keywords, and demonstrate depth where needed. For products or services, scores from users often hinge mainly on user expectations vs experience: if expectations are met or exceeded, the score will be high; if not, it will be low.

Practically speaking: reflect on the elements you can control — study approach, time allocation, and following the rubric for tests; expectation-setting and understanding features/service limitations for reviews. Then identify the one gap (e.g., lack of practice, misread instructions, or unmet expectations) and focus on that as the primary reason to improve future scores.
