Published 17 hours ago

These days it seems like news reports include details of one natural disaster or another. The Los Angeles fires, the Icelandic volcanoes and other reports of when Mother Nature decided to show her might in force have ravaged many people’s homes and lives, leaving them to pick up the pieces.

But despite the adversities people have been dealing with, the resilience of humankind is noteworthy in the face of these circumstances. People have courageously stepped up to deal with the ferocity of these disasters and have been seemingly unfazed by the toll of it.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.

Got wisdom to pour?
