My Sri Lanka Tour - "Nuwara Eliya Part II - Places associated with Mythological Ramayana"

After staying a pleasant night in the NuwaraEliya we left the city at 8 in the morning. Our first destination is the Rama-Sita-Hanuman temple near the city. In fact, the temple is situated very close to the entrance of Hakgala Botanical Gardens. The botanical garden is very famous for its flowers. At 6000 feet it is perhaps the highest set botanical garden in the world. In the garden we enjoyed the company of 100 years old Californian cypress, Japanese Cedars, Himalayan Pines and the quinquennial English oak.

The temple is managed by Chinmaya Mission, Sri Lanka. The temple is of the traditional Tamil architecture. It has got the idols of Rama, Sita and Laxmana.

An interesting place is the nearby stream. It has got some holes in the rock. It is attributed to the foot mark of the legendary Hanuman.

The Hakgala peak. In local folklore, it is believed that the Palace of Ravana is situated in the high of this peak.

South Africa is participating in largest and most advanced HIV vaccine trial program; makes its own history

image credit A big step for mankind - South Africa is participating in HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) vaccine program. This vaccine could prevent HIV infection. The drug trial began last month. This program is called HVTN 702 . About 5400 adults are participating in this HIV vaccine trial. Scientists say that this HIV vaccine program is the largest and most advanced trial program in South Africa. “If deployed alongside our current armoury of proven HIV prevention tools, a safe and effective vaccine could be the final nail in the coffin for HIV,” said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which falls under the American National Institutes of Health (NIH), a co-funder of the trial. “Even a moderately effective vaccine would significantly decrease the burden of HIV disease over time in countries and populations with high rates of HIV infection, such as South Africa.” image credit Dr Glenda Gray is

Ancient alligators which had long legs and run faster than dinosaurs, also ate them

image credit Imagine an alligator with long four legs and runs faster than dogs. Am I crazy ? Probably not. But, this species is now extinct. They lived in the Jurassic Period. The name this amazing creature is Galloping crocodile. It existed 100 million years ago. And also they preyed on dinosaurs! The most attractive features of Galloping crocodiles are their bone structure. After made research on their bones structure scientists said that they were efficient swimmers but that when they clambered ashore they were also capable of galloping across the plains. But, modern crocodiles crawl on their bellies because their legs sprawl out to the side. The fossils of this primitive crocodiles are now discovered in North Africa by a group of fossil hunters. Most of the fossils was discovered in the year of 2001. Hans Larsson , a paleontologist at the University of Montreal, who took part in the expedition which was sponsored by National Geographic, wrote - "We were surpr
