Welcome !

I feel blessed that you're here ! This post is an effort to share inspiring stories that I really admire, with all hoping you will get to learn something new everyday. (These are only my personal views)




FOSSILES 

I find this concept to be absolutely intriguing. How cool is the fact that some species that existed millions of years ago, still have been able to leave behind some traces of their existence. This allows us to window through time and know more of the wonders of nature.


OK THEN WHAT IS "LIVING FOSSIL" ?

The term “living fossil” is coined by an English naturalist Charles Darwin. In one of his famous books, “The Origin of Species," he has described extensively about those living creatures that have remained largely unchanged for billions of years.

(living fossil example: Komodo dragon)


PERSEVERENCE 

What gets me excited thinking about fossils is the sheer propensity of life to persist. These says a story of life in this planet earth before our time. I wish to visit there and understand the dynamics of survival.
