YOU LIVE WITHIN US FOREVER


Remember the days you told me to find a kind partner in life............
Remember the days you simply watched us growing.............
Remember the day how you felt happy when I was selected to the university, no expensive gifts, no parties because you were not a rich person but the pat on my back and the loving smile was sufficient enough for me to realise how you loved us.................
Remember the day you donated your grativity for me to buy a computer without even thinking how difficult it was for you to earn that amount of money from your simple salary...............

Forgive me for not returning back everything you gave me. Though I earn millions today, I will never be able to acheive the happiness and the satisfaction you gained in life.

I have a simple wish, since you were the best father a person could have. We were lucky to have you in this life. We know we cannot have you forvever because you will attain Nibbana soon. Only one wish.......................
Be my father again so that I want to pay back the things I gained from you. I want to show you HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

He is Three

I can still recall the day he was born. He never laughed till he became 10 months old. Only thing he did was just stared at me. He cried a lot even though he was hungry or not, Even though he felt uncomfortable or not. When he saw me for the first time after 9 months in the Airport he couldn’t recognize me. Two days later he used to inspect me and slowly became friendly with me. I never forget the way he used to run with me and he liked me to carry him even though he could walk. On 7th August 2008 he will be three years old. I am dying to see my grown up son soon.

Floating in the Sea

Last Weekend we went to Qantab Beach. I spent about half an hour floating and smiling at the bright sun. I still recall the days I spent hours to learn how to float and one fine day I realised it was just a matter of keeping your body straight. Of course a slight upward movement of your head will give you the perfect balance. I've tried floating about an hour but the bright sunshine did not allow me to carry on. I still struggle with perfect action of backstroke and if I succeed I am sure I will spend hours and hour in the sea.

Sri Lankans


There are many things I have to write about the Sri Lankans. The first thing is we consider collection of all the ethnic groups as a single nation and will not allow any stupid mediators to divide our country. All the Sri Lankans are with that idea. If anybody is against that I doubt he is a true Sri Lankan. So Sri Lankans have one vision and one mission in common.

SUPERB


Our cricketers have made it again, beating India by innings and 239 runs. It is a remarkable achievement. even though I missed the opportunity to watch the match live, my thoughts were with them. The feeling we get by watching a cricket match will never be experienced from another event in life. I remember the days I have calculated the required run rates in one day matches and anticipated our batsmen to score fours and sixes in every ball.
Good luck Lions. Keep it up.

Keep it up Sri Lankans

I am always stunned by the performance of our Cricketers. I Will write in length when they win the match against India.

A Simple Habit May Change Your Whole Life

I've started doing 10 push ups a day. I won't take even 5 minutes. But the consequences are great. I feel really energetic (though the arms started paining). I will improve this habit in future to at least 50 push ups. Then I feel my body machine will work properly.

Just 5 minutes a day and the whole life will be benefited. I like that idea.

Thirty Second Mile Post (4th July 2008)

Well. It is not so easy to live Thirty Two years in a world where you have to struggle for everything you want. Frankly I haven't struggled much to pass the exams with flying colours, to earn money to be like Warren Buffet, to secure a high position in the society. But I struggled to be a good person to the society. I do not know whether I have succeeded.
At the age of Thirty One I felt really happy with my growing son despite the fact he urinated on my Laptop ( The World's most expensive Toilet for a child to use), I was extremely happy with the identification of some true friends and concerned relatives and of course my youngest sister who simply stated " Wherever you are, Practise Dhamma".
The two things I still couldn't conquer in my life are "feeling sleepy at 9:00 pm" and hearing from someone " you are kind". These two things are so special to me because my father used to sleep at 9:00 pm and everybody told he was a kind person. I do not regret sleeping at 9:00 pm but I wish to wake up at 5:00 am as my father did. Let us see what I will achieve in this year

THATHTHA

One of my friends asked why are you always talking about your father. My answer was simple. I gained every respect from this society because of the good qualities inherited from you. You were so unique to me but I never expressed that to you. I thought I'd have told that to you in order to make you happy. I still remember the days you used to tell us stories. At the end of each story you told something which I could grasp as a lesson to my life. Do you know I eavesdropped most of your English lessons which helped me to gain gift of the gab? Do you know how much I cried in bed due to the fact that I lost many opportunities to make you happy? How can I repair this mistake?

Mars Landing

They Landed on Mars. It came to my mind when I heard about the BBC presentation on "Did We Land on Moon?" It was quite interesting. The questions were :

How will the US flag wave when there is no Atmosphere in the Moon?
No Stars were visible from Appollo's Photographs. Why?
Shadows should be parallel unless there is a close light source

But one thing I can guarantee. TinTin, Professor Calculus, Captain Haddok and Snowy have definitely landed on Moon.

Annual Party 2008





It’s been my second Annual Party at Hanscomb. I’ve got a rare opportunity to deal with Omanis, English, South Africans, Canadians, Indians and people from Hong Kong & Zimbabwe, since we are in an International Arena in Hanscomb. In an attempt to learn their native languages I still have failed to learn any. I have given priority to learn Arabic and now I’m progressing on the same.

The one you see in the picture is the person who is successfully managing this multi national organization in Oman. We enjoyed a lot in the party which is called a “Belated Christmas Party” (Surprised!!!!!!!!!, That is Hanscomb’s way), and people wished “Merry Christmas” to each other.

Fallen In Love Again

I have fallen in love again. Not with a cute little lady. But with the place I work. This is called Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa. This Hotel is situated in a fascinating location in Sultanate of Oman. I started working as a Cost Consultant in the place from 28th January 2008.

Why have I fallen in love with a place? As a mother loves her children, as a farmer loves his plants and crop, as a fisherman loves the sea, we the construction people love the structures. When you see a structure which is managed by you, it will recall the memories of how the excavation, structure and the finishes of the same have been achieved stage by stage as a mother see her children grow stage by stage. When you perceive that the intended purpose of the structure have been achieved you will get the same feeling a farmer gets when he get the harvest out of his efforts. When you see the beauty and glamour of the structures you involve, you will fall in love with them as a fisherman loves the sea.

I'm Back

It's nearly 10 months since I last wrote.
Well I'm back
