We Are With You

Dear Sri Lankan Cricketers,
You did your best to be the best and ultimately ended up as the second best. We Sri Lankans are very proud of you for your performance and ready to accept either the glory of victory or the agony oh defeat. We will never curse you for what you have not achieved, never destroy your properties, never burn your pictures. That is the great quality of Sri Lankans. You all are great.

Good Luck Sri Lankan Cricketers.

Proud to be a Sri Lankan

All I wish is that we should be able to become the world champions again. I am proud of Sri Lankan cricketers since they grow amidst lot of difficulties unlike other players in rich countries. I remember how Sanath Jayasuriya played as a school boy cricketer at Uyanwatta grounds, Matara my hometown. They didn't have playgrounds upto the inernational standards. But it is fascinating to see how he plays the ball with confidence at any international ground only from the experience he gained as an international cricketer in other countries. Sangakkara has a style which is in par with any star batsman in international arena. Mahela and the guys all the best and hope you will bring the world cup back to Sri Lanka

I Beat Laziness Today

Have you ever wondered why your body won't listen to your mind when you think of doing something. How many time have I tried to get out of my favourite couch to quit watching movies during holidays and read some thing. But I failed. Today I was able to get rid of that lazy feeling and felt really happy. One thing I observed is that our minds can do miracles when it is allowed to think a little. Just giving time to think of what we intend to do will lead to great disclosures.

Loku Thaththa

My mother has only one sister. She is the eldest of the family. She was married to a very silent person. They did not have children. So they loved us a lot. We called him Loku Thathttha. He recently passed away. I remember one thing about him.

There is a small stream flowing in front of Loku Thahtha's place. That was one of our favourite trips those days. My youngest sister lost one of her earrings when she had a bath there. Loku Thaththa searched it for hours and found it. It was kind of a miracle to find such a tiny thing in a stream full of water. Loku Thaththa, this Tribute is for your determination

You Still Live With Us

Three months elapsed, but none of the words you said or none of the acts of you have faded away from my heart. You were always early, that's why you said " Early to bed & early to rise, makes the man healthy wealthy & wise". I never had an alarm clock in my room because you woke up early to read news papers. That good habit still remains the same in me.You were wise to give ayya & me a "construction set' and a 'Mechano set'. I learnt A,B,C of the stability of the structures from them. Today I have become an engineer because of that strong foundation you laid. You spoke English very fluently. I followed your lessons thoroughly to gain the "Gift of the Gab". You were a wealthy man, not in monetary terms, but of course with the rich feelings and attitudes you had to be a good person.

Thaththa, I want my son to be a person like you, the genes must exist on him, to love the society, to be kind and of course to be genuine like you were. Five of your own flesh and blood performs well just because they had a good father by all means. Thaththa, you live in us and it will be reflected by every single act of us as a tribute to you.

My New Blog Buddy

I got a new Blog Buddy. She has cute children. I imagine the actions of my son through her photos. Soon they will be with me. I am really curious.

Trip to Rustaq

We recently had a trip to Rustaq. On our way we came across a sprinkler system.

Being Alone

Yesterday I experienced being totally alone. Normally I used to have partners in my life to share with. I could recall how I spent my university days with three other guys in the same room. We shared the same rice packet, gathered and discussed our difficulties and almost everything in life.

All of a sudden the loneliness has given a meaning to my life. It will make you more strong and more confident in a way. I thought of a life of an ascetic. He might have to be very strong not to give up his effort since there is nobody to encourage him. On the other hand he might have been really happy to be alone without a single person to discourage him.

However, loneliness pave a new way for you to think, to steer your own path. That I have experienced for the first time in my life.

An Year with Determination

I would like to call this year as the year of determination. I have determined to do lot of special things. First one I achieved as a new year gift. That is I had been called " kind hearted" by a special person in my life. That I totally inherited from my father. I cannot explain the joy I gain whenever somebody tells that " You are like your father".

The series of determined tasks will be revealed whenever I achieve them. I am proud to announce that they will neither be harmful to the society nor exceptionally ambitious that will affect the others.
