Learning is an essential part of being successful in life. You can ask anyone who has attain any level of success or is actively working towards it. They will tell you that learning is a never ending process that will never end. Having an open mind and willing to learn can open up many opportunities that might have been unforeseen without the willingness to continue learning.

Once Upon a Time ,Wild Deer , Elephants and Tigers would have roamed these Hills now overtaken by domesticated Cattle and numerous “Crying Trees “.

The Para Rubber Tree ( English), Hevea brasinlliensis( Scientific name) was first planted in India by the British from the Americas ( Brazil in South America) in the early 20th Century .They felled the Naturally Occurring Rainforests and replaced them with Rubber Plantations to harvest Natural Latex.
