Sunrise is the most beautiful thing to see
When I went to Ghatsila in Jharkhand, India…….I was amazed to see the beauty of nature where The Sun kisses the earth…there is a golden hue in the sky……..
and in a few poetic words………….
Sunrise makes me happy…….
Sunrise makes me wonder
There must be God
Though some do not believe in it.
Though some say Evolution is the truth
Behind the beauty of nature
There is a mystery
An eternal mystery that needs to be unravelled
A beauty which cannot be described in words
Only it can be photographed……..
A moment gone away will never return back
Explore the world
Go as far as you can to observe nature’s beauty

A sophisticated examination with the help of geo-radar have discovered a remarkable temple. It is temple of Thracuian God Dionysius. It is located in the Shipka town in Bulgaria. Kosio Zarev is the director of the local history museum. The temple is located over the Sevt III tomb, which was discovered 3 years ago.
Just imagine that you are discovering something that the world will be surprised. People will remember you over the ages. Thousands of Tourists will visit the site. In my life, I have studied the geology of Mulgawan Village. I went to this spot for my study of the Kolam tribe. It is located in the state Maharashtra, India. I was wandering in the valleys when I discovered some small tools lying in the valley. To an ordinary man's eye, it is nothing but to the experienced eye of an anthropology student who studied stone tools and drawn them. I collected the tools like small cleavers and microliths. The cleavers are from the Paleolithic Period and the microliths are from Mesolithic period. It is wonderful to see the stone artifacts of man being left thousands of years ago.

A gene has been discovered which is related with bipedalism. This discovery will revel clues on the walking on 2 legs. This gene is named VLDLR. It plays a great role in the development of cerebellum. A researcher named Tayfun Ozelick opined that this gene helped in the development of nervous system. It helps in the balancing of the body. This discovery is significant as we all know we started to walk on both legs from Homo erectus.
Without this bipedalism, just try to imagine ..
1. We would not have developed the stone tools.
2. Without stone tools, no culture would have developed.
3. Man started with knuckle walking as early as Australopithecus.
4. Human evolution from the Australopithecus to Homo has been a long way stretching millions of years. We have seen them from the fossil evidences of Africa, Asia and Europe.
