I shave every day, but my beard stays the same. What am I?

Spelt forwards I’m what you do every day, spelled backwards I’m something you hate. What am I?

I make a loud sound when I’m changing. When I do change, I get bigger but weigh less. What am I?

My thunder comes before lightning.
My lightning comes before my rain.
My rain dries up all the land it touches.

Who am I?

As a whole I am both
safe and secure.

Behead me and I become
a place of meeting.

Behead me again and I am
the partner of ready.

Restore me, and I become
the domain of beasts.

What am I?

I welcome the day with a show of light, I stealthily came here in the night. I bathe the earthy stuff at dawn, But by noon, alas! I'm gone.

No matter how little or how much you use me, you change me every month. What am I?

Chhote se Chintu Miyan,
Lambi si Pooch.
Jahan Jaye Chintu Miyan,
Wahan Jaye Pooch.

छोटे से चींटू मियाँ,
लंबी सी पूंछ।
जहाँ जाये चींटू मियाँ,
वहाँ जाये पूंछ।

Bolo kya?

What is full of holes but still holds water?

A father's child, a mother's child, yet no one's son.

Who am I?
