Tales of Continents Origin




More than 4.6 billion years ago, the world was a burning gas ball, spinning through space. The earth cooled, the superheated gases held by gravity to form the atmosphere.

Water vapour collected in air, the cloud began to form. Then it began to pour with rain, causing early ocean.




About 250 million years ago, long after the earth had created, all the continents had joined together to form a supercontinent called Pangaea (sometimes spelt Pangea). This supercontinent notion proposed by Alfred Wegener (the scientist).


This supercontinent broke up about 200-million years ago to form two enormous continents, Gondwana and Laurasia.


Now Gondwana (Southern Hemisphere) comprised into Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctica and India. The Indian sub-continent lay off the east coast of Africa before it broke off and went north swiftly.

It collided with Asia, creating one of the largest range mountain- The Himalaya's.


Now Laurasia (Northern Hemisphere) would drift north and gradually split into Europe, Asia and North America.


💡 Fun fact 

According to geologist the cycle is likely still going. The continents are still on the move, drifting apart at the rate of about an inch each year.

Hakuna Matata

Greeting Readers Hakuna Matata It means no worries for the rest of the days Let's ride back to our childhood, where we imagined living in a house made of chocolates or can fly like a superman or can live life inside a computer (this one is my favourite) or can be a player in a video game and so on. Then we grew up and or we have to think about to have a job that pays well and score 99.9% to get admission in your favourite university. We've become a racer to this unknown race of life . Even we have no idea when this race will end and where its path is going. But close your eyes and ask your self are you happy with this. If your answer is "No" then say "Hakuna Matata".  And take your self out! oops sorry, I forget the Government of India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi ordered a nationwide lockdown for 21 days, limiting movement as a preventive measure against the COVID-19 pandemic in India. But no worries if you can't go out you can go in!  Give time

Revealing the Timeless Beauty: Crafting a Greek Woman's Portrait

Dear Esteemed Readers, I am absolutely delighted to unveil the captivating journey behind the creation of this exquisite women's portrait. Our source of inspiration hails from the timeless elegance of a Greek woman. In the annals of Ancient Greece, the epitome of beauty lay in three quintessential elements: symmetry, proportion, and harmony. Their visages were adorned with delicate contours and cascading waves of hair, epitomizing the very essence of grace. The heritage of the Greeks unfolds as a tapestry of shared physical traits—olive-hued skin, rich brown eyes, and gracefully straight noses. Complementing these features, one often finds luxuriant tresses of dark hair, elegantly carved cheekbones, and visages bearing the hallmark of a rectangular grace. Allow me to share the very palette that brought this vision to life: A pristine canvas The vibrant embrace of oil paints, delicately thinned with linseed oil A carefully curated array of paintbrushes The final touch of metallic pa
