कश्‍यप राजा की देन श्रीलंका का स्न्हिागिरी

 

सीगिरिया या सिन्‍हागिरी श्रीलंका के डाम्‍बुला टाउन के माटाले डिर्स्टिक्‍ट में स्थित चट्टान के ऊपर निर्मित किला है। किले का सबसे प्रमुख आकर्षण इसका चट्टान से बना हुआ स्‍तम्‍भ है जो लगभग 200 मीटर ऊँचाई लिए हुए है। श्रीलंका ऐतिहासिक रिकॉर्ड ‘कुलावामासा’ के अनुसार 477-495 ईस्‍वी में कश्‍यम नामक राजा ने इस स्‍थान को अपनी नई राजधानी के रूप में चुना था, साथ ही इसकी दीवारों पर भित्तिचित्र तैयार करवाए थे।

सीगिरिया पैलैस का मुख्‍य द्वार एक विशालकाय शेर की आकृति में बना हुआ है। इस राजधानी पैलेस को कश्‍यप की मृत्‍यु के बाद उनके वंशजों ने छो़ड़ दिया था। 14वीं सदी से इस किले का उपयोग एक बौद्ध मोनेर्स्‍टी के रूप में किया जाने लगा। यह पैलैस पुरातन काल के आधुनिक निर्माण के उत्‍कृष्‍ट नमूनों में से एक है। 1831 में ब्रिटिश आर्मी के जोनाथन फोर्ब्‍स यहां आए थे 1890 में यहां पुरात्‍तव संरक्ष का कार्य लघु स्‍तर पर शुरू हुआ। यह यूनेस्‍को की विश्‍व विरासत स्‍थल सूची में सूचीबद्ध किया गया है।

The clerks make me nervous; the little windows at the counters make me nervous the sight of the money makes me nervous; everything makes me nervous. The moment I go through the door of a bank and attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I knew this before I went in, but my salary had been raised to fifty six dollars a month and I felt that the bank was the only place. For it. So I walked in with dragging feet and looked shyly round at the clerks. I had an idea that a person about to open an account was obliged to consult the manager. I went up to a counter marked ‘Accountant’. The Accountant was a tall, cool fellow. The very sight of him made me nervous. My voice was deep and hollow . can I see the manager? I said, and added solemnly alone. I don’t know why I said ‘alone’. certainly, siad the accountant, and fetch...

The Power of Determination by Burt Dubin

  The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned, pot-bellied coal stove. A eight-year-old boy named Glenn Cunningham had the job of coming to school early each day so that he could use kerosene to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived. One cold morning someone mistakenly filled the kerosene container he used with gasoline, and disaster struck. The class and teacher arrived to find the schoolhouse engulfed in flames. Terrified on realizing that Glenn was inside, they rushed in and managed to drag the unconscious little boy out of the flaming building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital. From his bed, the dreadfully burned, semi-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would surely die – which was for the best, really – for the terrible fire had devastated the lower half of his b...
