Tiananmen Square-Where History Marches Forward – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Transcript Hello Viewers, Today we are delving into a subject that is not directly related to health, but rather the unity of major nations in pursuit of dominance. “In the heart of Beijing lies a plaza vast enough to hold a nation’s memory, and bold enough to shape its future.

Sri Lanka’s Maritime Beacons – The Story of Galle, Dondra & Trincomalee Lighthouses – By Malsha – eLanka Sri Lanka, an island nation long celebrated as the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean,” has been at the heart of global maritime routes for centuries. Traders, explorers, and conquerors—from Arabs and Persians to the Portuguese, Dutch, and British—have relied on its strategic location along the busy sea lanes of the Indian Ocean. With such prominence, maritime navigation around its coasts required guidance and safety mechanisms, and lighthouses became silent guardians that have stood the test of time. Among the most iconic are the lighthouses of Galle, Dondra, and Trincomalee—each with its own unique history and significance, yet united in their role as enduring beacons of safety. Galle Lighthouse – The Jewel of the Southern Coast The Galle Lighthouse, also known as Point de Galle Lighthouse, is not only Sri Lanka’s oldest but ...

The Sri Lanka Elephant Crisis-by Kalani-eLanka Sri Lanka, often called the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean”, is home to the largest population of wild Asian elephants outside India. Elephants hold a special place in Sri Lankan culture, religion, and history, symbolizing wisdom, strength, and prosperity. However, in recent decades, the nation has faced a growing elephant crisis that threatens both the survival of these majestic animals and the safety of rural communities. Declining Habitats The primary cause of the crisis is habitat loss. Expanding human settlements, agriculture, highways, and development projects have drastically reduced the elephants’ natural forests and grasslands. As their habitats shrink, elephants are forced to move closer to villages and farms in search of food and water. Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC) One of the most serious consequences of habitat loss is the human-elephant conflict. Elephants often raid paddy fields, banana plantations, and other crops, causing significant losses to ...

It is not simply about reaching a destination, but about ensuring that everyone returns home safely. On our roads today, challenges are many. There are sharp bends, crowded streets, long distances, and unexpected obstacles. Drivers often face fatigue, pressure to keep schedules, or the temptation to speed. Yet, it is in these moments that true responsibility shines through. A good driver is not measured only by skill but also by patience, discipline, and compassion. Slowing down on a dangerous ...
