See the Sea

2009-02-04T11:18:00.004+05:30

I, should I say, a fan of the sea. Not just the beach but the big blue ocean. The salty hard water does make you burn easily in the sun, yet I just loved the feeling. Only once may be, that I have ever got on a boat, and went towards the deep sea where I could not see the shore(almost). Few of them whom I went with just jumped in to the great big water and swam a bit, near the boat. I being the coward I used to be, did not take that chance but had myself tightly wrapped, being afraid pf falling into the sea.
And now thinking back my tracks I do regret that I didn't really take that risk but looking forward to get my self wet in the ocean.
Paleontologists states that the life has started from the sea. And over the zillion years passed we found land, got boundaries, got named. fought for clan, rebel for race and slaughter each other.
Tsunami, melting ice at Antarctica might stop few of us and remind us that we may actually do something for the human survival. But will we actually have the capacity to change any one? or anything? or should I just forget all this and mind my own small world, face my own trouble and not think about the future at all?
The ocean is big but still the hard land has build boundaries trying to rule the sea. And some of us just dieing here to dip in the sea for our pleasure.

My Cheesy poem for you

2009-02-03T16:35:00.002+05:30

I sound cheesy
I sound sly
but deep inside
I love you so much

Take my hand
you will feel safe and calm
Trust me when I say
That I love you so much

Look into my eyes
see what I am trying to say
Do not worry a bit
I love you so much

Lets run away
build our own castle
Lets Chase that sweet escape
Trust me I love you and like Cheese

Just read a blog post on cheesy songs felt like writing my own.. But I beleive its okay to be cheesy once in a while when you are in love.. this is for all the lovers out there.. and also to those of us, the heartbroken ones too...

Am I too old to Dance?

2009-02-02T19:31:00.003+05:30

Got this clip from a friend of mine. She just proved that age is not a barrier to do ya thing. Not that i can dance like her. Well may be I have few crazy moves :)
But still I am not going to worry about growing old and getting wrinkles because I can always be the bell of the ball once I know those steps :)

Apocalypto and What I think

2009-01-31T17:36:00.006+05:30

Simple!!!

Its a great movie. Hats of to Mel Gibson. I have not read any reviews of this movie and nor i have heard many talk about it. Distance memory reminds me that one of my movie lover friends actually recommended this as a star rated movie. Well thanks to Star movies i had the chance to actually watch the masterpiece. Each second passed i was drowned by the fact that Apacalypto actually talks about the modern society.

How much as human beings living in a tiny planet, so brutally kill one another,

allow slavery among the civilized society

hope for your survival

and the better yet how much love keeps your strength and energy.

This is the type of movie which you would not watch again, because by watching once you will remember the feeling forever..

love it I love it !!!

A world without forms to fill

2009-01-30T22:23:00.002+05:30

I really hate filling up forms, online, offline and specially those stack of papers you get to fill as applications to a university, institute, company and so on.
they all start with your name, address date of birth, marital status,sex(ahem gender) and the best part is, the purpose of applying (may differ as per your requirement). Then again I can not really blame it. There are so many of us living and we need many details to distinguish one another. (So remarkable how the world creator separates us by simple details)
Anyways I got so annoyed recently due to the fact that i have to fill a whole set of new forms because i happen to change into a different branch of a well established bank of SL. I mean I was a customer of theirs for quite a few years and don't they have a record of mine. And why should i start all over again as a new account holder? Well being very optimistic of every peril i get into i finally came to a agreement with myself that I am not a VIP and till I become one to shut up and fill the form.
And again today I happen to fill another, i might add "an extra ordinary" form. In here other than my signature I actually had to keep my thumb print. Well not to worry I didn't kill any one and it was not a police form. An old method that still works to identify the uniqueness of one another. But still I had to fill that form and I just hated it.
I think(s) that there should be a centralized place where all our data is stored. From birth details to medical history and favourite hobby to most watched TV channel. From there with a secured access code (or what ever) necessary parties can get our details to verify our existence. Ah this is hard at the initial stage but if some one care do that I will be free from filling forms :)

Am I stuborn cuz I have a mind of my own?

2009-01-30T16:14:00.003+05:30

I was known to be the most stubborn one in my family and my friends have crowned me as "Miss Stubbornness" many a time. And then again some have build up their trust on me so much that they would even leave their child(or boyfriends,girlfriends. siblings) under my supervision, believing in perhaps my stubbornness which would help me to come in to my sensibility rather quickly in a given situation. Some past incidents have helped them to come in to that conclusion.

Well there are two kinds of people, the world around me (which includes you) and ME, right in the centre "Me". Me who write this blog letting out my feelings and my version of the world around me. Must stress again that I am in the middle, in the middle being trampled, loved cared and hated by all the "yous" out there. And I with a mind of my own interpret certain situations and might embrace or repel from that. So in the process people around me will feel that I am actually very stubborn, I am so stubborn that I might have disregard your dignity and and acted MY OWN. well you nor I can actually help it, I will be stubborn because I have a mind of my own which like to think act and perhaps fall down and to stand up.

Besides I am still learning to live this life. If some one always tells me how to do everything right and one day if none of you around how will I survive? So let me do things my way and let me be responsible for my own actions...

I love responsibility...

Your child

2009-01-27T18:10:00.000+05:30

I am your child, looking up at you
With my heart in sorrow and pain
Cuz I do not know how to make you happy
I am your child can’t you see
I brought the stars for you
Laid on the table and asked you to look
“That’s not what I want”
So I cried and asked you to help me
I am you child can’t you see
Painted the world for you
Using colors of the world
You looked you laughed
Said I am so “childish”
But I am your child can’t you see
Made castle with dream and hope
Painted it with red
To show my love
You stepped on it
And now I am too weak to do anything
I am your child
Who needed to be loved by you…

Small world

2009-01-26T17:27:00.003+05:30

Scenario 1

Today I was surprised, the girl who sat next to me in my transport is a very good friend of mine. Whom I had being sharing lot of gossip, poems and many many more via emails. Well She is a Friend of mine in Fakebook (why I call that, is another story) and I have seen her photos, but me being the person who never remembers some ones face could not recognized until she pointed me out. For a month we have being in the same transport but never got a chance to talk. Well how small the world we live in?

Scenario 2

And day I had to answer the door at my work place and this guy entered asking for my boss. To see he was my long-time-no see friend. Whom I have sat for AL's. Wow that was a surprise

Scenario 3

A Friend of mine who had seen a cousin of her, was about to call on his mobile was stopped by her other Friend who was sitting next to her. Apparently her cousin was the boss of her friend.

Scenario 4

well for now only three scenarios that is coming in to my mind. Had a office out yesterday and my whole body+head is paining.

Cheers!!!

What is the best medicine for a headache?
watching Mamma Mia???? oh yeah !!!!

Mosquitoes that most-kill-toes…

2009-01-24T01:44:00.001+05:30

Well not only the toes but most of your body. Especially the shoulders. Yessss the shoulders. Well each night I wrap myself from head to toe and go to sleep just so I can escape from this mos-attack, but then Sri Lanka being a hot country I have to come out of that protection and face my night-time enemies. Well one might suggest using a mosquito net. But that is a big NO NO to me. Then the mosquito coil or the mat.. ahh they just give me headaches. Once this person suggested applying “Siddalepa” to you body and notice how the mosquitoes run away from you. Well the idea was not that bad, the only problem was that I wanted to runaway from me.

But still when, you having the best dream, they just had to stop by near your ear and sing their hearts out. I mean com’on don’t they know that it can be so deadly. They are playing a life and death game there. I mean I am a deadly weapon when I wave my arms around.

So much that they do really bother me at my sleep, I just wanted to find out few things about this insects, rather annoying pain in the neck(shoulder) insects.Mosquitoes are coming from a family called Culicidae. And do you know that the word is that mosquitoes have being around over 30 million years old But all throughout they happen to do the same thing.. bite the hell out of us. Feed on our blood and give us sleepless nights..

(If you recall In Jurassic Park, they created dinosaurs with gens inside a mosquito who happened to be fed on a dinosaur’s blood and blah blah blah)
They travel 1/2Km per hour and go up to 10 km during night time. And at a stretch they fly to 1-4 hours. Wow I can’t even sit in one place for that long. May be they do that so they can have a different dish for a change

And I find this rather amusing and ironic, the real predator (harsh word? No I do not think so) is the female mosquito that sucks the blood so we rank them as the most deadly.
They rest in cool places and wait till the evening to hunt us down. When it comes to cool places they can even lay eggs in watery surfaces, and sometime the eggs survive though the place is dried up for a certain period. Well if we think about this more, we ourselves make the biggest mistake, by allowing the mosquitoes to breed in places like this.
So let us all join hands and keep our environment clean and tidy so I CAN HAVE A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP hahaha

And you too

Cheers!!!

go on and on and we talk

2009-01-22T20:20:00.003+05:30

Have you ever stopped for a while and tried to figure what we were being talking at any given time. Well at least whether. at least we stick to the initial topic.

This type of talking happen when you get together with bunch of friends colleagues and any other combination. Today our initial topic was "politics" ah the very subject that i would avoid but heat up in certain circumstances. Then Mr. Obama dominated the field and came to different beliefs of religions. Then talked about hymns and what their meanings are, which ended up analyzing the lyrics of certain songs that can be heard in radio. Then the gossip.. yeah the Hollywood gossip (guess we know more about Barrymore than she does). Last but not least the favourite TV programs we watch was a hit.

ah I love talking about politics now, cuz it leads to different stories..

hey that was not the end.. but some of the stuff are not for you to know :)

To office or the bull

2009-01-21T17:15:00.002+05:30

I was on my way to office, to notice that there was a bull, seated with both two front legs were bleeding, obviously met with an accident in the morning. The creature was looking sad and hurt and a pail of water was next to him. Which it did not indicate in any way that it would have helped the creature at all. Lot of blood was on its body, and perhaps it was unable to move.
Well as all we being human with emotions running free, my colleagues who were in the office transport was giving their own assumption of the situation.

“some driver must have hit the poor thing…idiot does not even no how to driver..”

“these type of idiots should be punished…”

“Wonder who gave the license (driver’s) to them…”

“Must have happened in the morning… so then he ran away… selfish man…”

“ah did you notice the way a man was standing few feet away from the incident?...I think it’s he who have done it… did you notice the sly smile…IDIOT”

Well me being the observer was really amazed.

· How much we human pity the bull who was hurt?
· How some of us eat the flesh of it if the given incident is different?
· And how we assumed that a motor vehicle did made this creature to get hurt?
· How we tend to curse at people who we have not seen or heard of?
· And how much you get blamed for just standing there at a point of an incident?

And then let talk about me

I was not really in a hurry to work (I am one of the early comers :) ) yet I did not stop by and even tried to help the creature. But now I am blaming someone for criticizing the incident. And secondly lets say that I really got down and tried to help, what am I suppose to do? Who will I try to contact? And given the chance the owner of the bull was there? Will he welcome my help or will he feel hostile? Because he might feel that I am trying to own his bull. (its human nature not to trust another human, when it comes to your belongings)

All I know is there was a problem, I wanted to help but I did not. Just passed it and came back to my world of comforts. Am I human or what?

Falling for you..

2009-01-20T18:52:00.001+05:30

To fall for you,
I tried hard not to
Yet I am weak
Standing next you
Listening to your breath and soul
Showing me the beauty of life
Asking me to smile with you
Can’t you see I am not doing so good?
I am falling for you
Alas, you are my best friend

Certain things are captured only as memories.. for a life time

2009-01-17T18:42:00.005+05:30

As human beings, the greatest things we are capable of having, are memories. Happy sad and even memories of rather ordinary things. A Normal incident might be easy to forget. However the happy moment, even sad moments residues some where in our minds.
Also there are certain times that we see such magnificent structures of the Creator of the world. Yes I am just obsessed about the sky and can not really take my mind and heart in appreciating its wonderful colours and the art. Today i saw one such moment. I took my camera out tried to captured moment. The sun was blazing its glory, white clouds were swirling around. And a dark cloud just came and closed the sun forming the bright glowing silver line. Well when finally my camera switched it self that moment was over. Just occurred to me how i missed that moment yet how i remembered the details of it.
This made me think. The junctions of my life that I do not have photos or any tangible things to tell another person this really happened, yet memories... I have the memories.
Memories which I would like to share. Yet no one will really understand the true emotions that i have linked with them.

well Dumbledore please teach me how to extract my memories and bottle them so I can share them with others!!!

I just love my memories... good and bad

Old school

2009-01-14T13:21:00.007+05:30

Sounds familiar? hmm yeah thought so

Watched "Who's line is it anyway?" hosted by Drew Carey and comedians (really talented) Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Wayne Brady and few more comedy actors playing the game-show. The jokes are so real and classy. Well currently I am really addicted to it.

One day these funny(I mean genuinely hilarious) guys enacted the 90's old school. It was pretty simple and really brought up how much we think certain phrases we used when we were schooling, certain rituals we thought were cool and happening back then are really not that cool any more. Well the scene was three "happening dudes" meet up, and they discuss the cool things they did. Well it was not really discussing cuz no one was saying any activity but say to each other

"man i so did wanna do that "YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN""

ohh yeah yeah I once did so and made it so real "YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN"

well the above quotes may not be exactly the same.but I got to emphasise that all did actually say to each other was "YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN" and non of them knew what they really mean.

When watching this it just reminded me of my school days. well not long ago I actually went to have education, to a school where all types of girls were having the same education. Well some of us did good and some of us get to face the bad side of life. Yet once in a while it reminds us how much freedom happiness and excitement we had those days. I surprisingly was very energetic. I wanted to take part in every single thing. Every sport, drama, societies and many many more.

Wow I really had a busy life. I still remember that we had to do a Shakespearean drama one day. Well I guess I was tall and dark i got to be the Romeo (oh yeah that's what we chose to act hmm old school) and some where in the show I had to do this sword duel. Well my acting is so outstandingly bad my friend who was the villain had to basically hold the sword and stick it herself. All because I kept on missing the target.

And then chores. One of my favorites. I use to sing in two three of them. what a feeling we get. All together singing one tune(off beat) and more than anything I participated them simply because I get to skip classes. Matter of fact the number of classes I actually attended for chemistry was less than 20. (ohh yeah)

Was a chatter box. I mean Girls have a lot to talk. And I was marked for this ability. Well I am proud to say this but I still have that ability popping here and there.

And the most perfect time is right after exams. We get to roam around the school. No classes and no restrictions till the next semester. Happy smiles every where singing dancing and playing games. Wow I really Cherise those memories.

Well I think I love and respect my school still :)

If only

2009-01-13T22:51:00.002+05:30

If only I can just break free from this and say act feel what I really wanted, things would be so different and more complicated..

But... I am human i just have feelings that contradict my own feelings..

Damn so hard being human

Even harder being honest to yourself

Random thoughts on my way home..

2009-01-13T19:38:00.003+05:30

Actually it’s not so random... Matter of fact it’s the only thought that I have each day. Yes how beautiful it is. So much colours and glamour spread all over, sharing the beauty and peacefulness to us, who are (may be job-less) to watch with the eyes wide open and mouths unclosed.

By looking at it I feel as if I am in heaven. By saying that I am not being poetic but it’s simply the feeling I get. Eye soothing colours. Blue, indigo, purple, yellow, pink white orange and many many colours. The view is simply breath taking.

When I see it I feel so lucky that I was born as a human and am able to appreciate its true beauty. Even though my route from office to home is, screeching cars, smoking lorries, three wheelers motor cycles, tired human beings, I just avoid resting my eyes on them. I just look up and notice the heavenly bravura SKY!!!

Well I am just thankful to the creator of this world for giving such a extra ordinarily beautiful site to mu eyes.

Well my camera didn't do the justice here... But still its so beautiful!!!

I sleep..

2009-01-12T17:26:00.001+05:30

When stars are shining moon is smiling I sleep

When its dark and another world is bright I sleep

At rain, at mist summer winter hot and drought I sleep

When they laugh with happiness

When they scream of pain

I sleep

When you found your soul, or gave it to the devil

I sleep

Do not wake me

Egoism and coward-ness to face you

Are my sleeping tablets

So I sleep

Means of transport – Motor Cycle

2009-01-08T17:34:00.006+05:30

I always wanted to own a CBR or Harley Davidson. Not that I know how to ride it but I thought it was kinda looks cool. Yet the funny part is apart from the fact that I do not know how to ride a motor cycle, all throughout my life I have never even gone in a motor cycle. I mean no one was kind enough to take me. Still it’s strange why I have this special thing about CBR and Harley Davidson.

However few days back, I was waiting for my transport at about 6 o’clock. There was major traffic. No vehicle that has four wheels could move. But just like the way water would go through a jar full of rocks, MOTORCYCLES found their own controvertible way to creep in and out of the traffic. And now I will get to the funny part. I was standing on the pavement. (I mean I can stand there right? Yes I can be a “stationery pedestrian” if a noun like that do exist) I was waiting for my vehicle to come. But what I saw was10 to 12 motorcycles charging their way towards where I was standing. Hmm I had to push my panic button. Why? Because I had no way to go and make way to the battalion of motorcycles. Although I was standing at the right place I had to take refugee inside a telephone booth. Well they passed and then I gave a sigh of relief and turned my head, to see more and more motorcycles have made their own way in the pavements (or is it motor-cycle-way?)

How close the motor cycle was to me....

However the traffic got viler. And I had to camp in the telephone booth. Suddenly something “much funnier” caught my eye. A three-wheeler (or the most annoying word I have ever heard “the tuk-tuk”) was nicely parked in the pavement (let’s not bitch about that now) and there was about five feet space and a motor cycle (chaly) was waiting for the colour light to turn green. Then another motorcycle tried to creep in between the tuk-tuk and the chaly, and this was not actually going in the correct direction but the opposite direction. Mind you this was a highway. And I have no clue how he was able to come from a different direction. Now that is a question

A motor cycle making his way through a three wheeler and a Chaly

However my motive was not to say what I don’t like about bike riders. I just felt that motorcycle is a convenient and fast mean of transport that most citizens take use of.

Say cheez....

2009-01-03T00:25:00.003+05:30

Recently when my uncle who is an expert in cameras (all sorts) came for a visit he happens to bring a Nikon N70 with a 2x multiplier. Understand this is not that high tech and has up to 70mm zooming lens but for certain someone this was like a dream come true. So who took it in to her hand? Yesss me the “cat-curious me”. Well it was not the first time I discovered my love for photography and at the same time proved myself that there is so much to learn even to take a simple photograph. So far I have tried my hand in the 3.2 megapixel camera that comes with my mobile phone and have given some reasonable shots here and there. So when I let my hand touch “The N70” I was in love once again with whole world. So what was my target…aha the sky. And then flower buds. The bugs on the flower, Grass petals, ants on the wire. My own shadow. And even did some paparazzi shots on my brother and cousins. Well I was not really concentrating on the shutter speed; focusing, lighting conditions so on and so forth. However must say that it was quite a learning experience. Which I am hoping to be an expert at(well what do you know this is my year 2009 resolution)

As time passed by my uncle had to leave which means that I had to bid farewell to “my new love”. And went back to the reality of my Nokia 5610 camera... hey it’s not bad at all it does indeed a good job almost all the time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

its true what they say, spend at least one day with a 7 year old and 70 year old.. wow life is so simple..

2008-12-27T16:47:00.002+05:30

Well all started when she kept on staring at me… had to talk so. She had being watching my every move. However now I do not regret, because she taught me how nice and simple the life can be when you take each minute as it is and how you can make someone feel better by showing the things you like to do. Such energy and enthusiasm she showed to meet people greet people and talk with people. Recently am built in such a way that I like to get to know fellow human but after inquiring about that person I just loose interest in them. Just that I am too lazy to know how everyone is doing. Might have tried a feeble act on keeping the rapport with few of my friends but most of the time I like to shut up and listen to what other people say. Sad life? Or anthropologistic life? Or a life that does not actually have anything to say to anyone?

Well I am not fighting to understand why I turned to be someone like this. Guess it’s a phase that I am going through discovering” who I am”?

Back to the 7 year old. All we did was, playing some kids games. Reminded me of my childhood where I was the privilege one to ride on somebody’s back. And now she is the privileged one. Damn I was tired after all the running, skipping circling and hide and seek we did. But still I was HAPPY and young. Yes felt like a young girl who knew the beauty of life. Thank you little one…

Life cycle of a relationship

2008-12-26T23:09:00.001+05:30

After mulling over my past relationships I have come into a conclusion that there is a case of life cycle in all of them. Growth, maturity, boom and then sudden fall. And this falling is which makes you unable to recover and if you do not have that need you will be a bankrupt forever.

Sounds like one who got heartbroken? Yeah I am. Some of us are not so lucky to be steady and ready with the first person you meet. What made me write this is not because I am still crying over spilled milk but as we are at the yearend I myself did a personal review on the year 2008. Learnt a good lesson guess I am thank full to them for that though the hurt might have forced me to hate them. Besides this is life, not everything comes in a silver tray. Now I know that for sure.

There is hope of a better year ahead. That’s the recommendation I received.
well 2009 you know what to do.... :)

Upside down christmas tree

2008-12-23T18:52:00.003+05:30

I was just browsing through the net. Then this particular Christmas tree caught my eye. Yup it was upside down. Wanted to check the motive behind it. And apparently this is a symbol of Christianity in central Europe. When there is such thing as growing a Christmas tree in the conventional way, we just had to think differently and here comes an upside down Christmas tree…

Or is it other way round? may be this is the corrcet way to grow a CHRISTMAS TREE

Who knows we are just following a set of rules given by others

and ways this is the history as taken from www.thegreenhead.com

The History of the Upside-Down Fir Tree: According to the Christmas Archives, "In the 7th century a monk from Crediton, Devonshire, went to Germany to teach the Word of God. He did many good works there, and spent much time in Thuringia, an area which was to become the cradle of the Christmas Decoration Industry. Legend has it that he used the triangular shape of the Fir Tree to describe the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The converted people began to revere the Fir tree as God's Tree, as they had previously revered the Oak. By the 12th century it was being hung, upside-down, from ceilings at Christmastime in Central Europe, as a symbol of Christianity."

what happened..and to happen

2008-12-22T13:00:00.001+05:30

Listening over and over
Ranting on the same thought
Heart beat stopped
Looked outside
Saw another light
Went close
Burnt again
Did learn the lesson?
Yeah may be
But hope exists

Empirical proof of love – A Beautiful Mind

2008-12-20T19:17:00.002+05:30

I watched A Beautiful Mind where the life story of John Nash, the Nobel Prize winner in Economics (1994) unfolds. Not going to give my view of the movie, yet want to share my fevorite scene

The following conversation if between John and Alicia Larde, when he wanted her to explain the love and commitment she had for him. Mind you he is a mathematician. The scene is acted by Russell Crowe (John Nash) and Jennifer Connelly (Alicia Larde)

Alicia: A proof? Verifiable data? Hmm mmm

Okay…

Well... How big is the universe?

John: Infinite

Alicia: How do you know?

John: I know because all the data indicate it

Alicia: But it hasn’t been proven yet?

John: No

Alicia: You haven’t seen it. How do you know for sure?

John: I don’t. I just believe it

Alicia: Mmm..

It’s the same with Love. I guess

Now, the part that you don’t know

Is it if I want to marry you?

................................................

was touched by the scene

One day a friend of mine asked me what was it like to be in love? and i am still searching for the answer...

Today??? friday??? huh???

2008-12-19T18:16:00.002+05:30

“Time flies...”Being hearing that on and off and the funny thing is we still spend it less of the real meaning of it... all of 2008 has being a year of killing time for me and apparently I have done so many things and none of them were my resolutions…
But I am not sad or unhappy about the year passed, cuz now I am much closer with my parents and kinda in peace with myself.
And the best part is I have become quite a mind reader so its kinda difficult for me to deal with people.. hahaha I know all are afraid of me, talk to me even and I sometimes purposely ignore the muscling gender…
Wellllll today is Friday… Was to meet up a friend and to go Christmas shopping… Though we have scanned all shops of Colombo still not satisfied for the fact that we have so much of time to kill… plan was cancelled and me still in office pretending to work when my boss insists on, me flying back to my nest.. “Come on man I love my job, I am soooo devoid of my life… please let me stay near my Oh-so-perzonal-computer and pretend to work my oh-so-brilliant-head-off.
Today is a Friday. My shopping spree was cancelled and sitting in front of Orlando Blooms and doing my thing (Okayyyyy its just the screen saver but still I can read him, yeah he like moi J ).
Ahhhh almost forgot.. It was Christmas deco timeeeee…. When I stepped into office (after a looong vacation sorta thing) found there were none…. So who stepped in… yeah me the oh-so-time-to-kill-doing-nothing me… the theme was “not spending your money due to Economics crises and still have the spirit” so we voluntarily got the day off and started cutting “recycled Envelopes” and made Christmas trees and hung them… (ahhh I am going to miss you guys, surprisingly but yeah I am)

Now all have gone home I am still at office finishing off my work and browsing through the net and felt like saying something…
Wanted to say how much I want to go out and go crazy at a day like this… but guess I am not that kinda person.. or may be I do not have friends and nobody likes me… oh may be I am so ugly that no guy likes me… or may be the economy is so s&^*5 that all the amusement arenas are closed since the cost cutting is taking over our lives that no credit cards are allowed and expenditure is more than the income… or may be its raining outside that and I can’t see oh hear it….or may be I am blind, deaf and dumb at the same time that I might as well not have a life..
But…..
ohhhhh who cares??? I kinda like my subtle moving life… and I am happy and happy… and I just let it go..
man I love Eric Clapton.. “Layla you got me off my feet…”

Sadness

2008-12-18T20:07:00.002+05:30

I am sad
Not because you left me
Nor you are not there to make me feel all right
I am sad
For the love I had fir you
For the love that you never had for me
You never needed me like the way I did
All you did was, played your part in a theater
Yes, this is a selfish poem for you
For you left me oh so selfish

Watching you ease me

2008-12-17T17:57:00.006+05:30

It’s not a human that I was referring, even though I am fascinated by watching people around me. And what I noticed about then and what I did is another story.

What made me write toady is the love that I have for sky and clouds. I am unable to give an exact reason why I always end up looking up, but may be because I am too curious about what’s the limit of the world that we see unlimited or just that I feel so free.
Every time when I look up its something different. Something new and exciting. It’s as if I am getting to know someone new. I look up day night evening dawn anytime I feel that I need to. When I travel just walking in the garden, swimming (which happens rarelyL).
The night’s sky of cause was my favorite. Use to count starts, but never was able to finish as each minute pass a new one pops out. I am not good in reading start signs and the only one I can identify is the Orion, also known as “the hunter”. And that is also because it has very significant raw of three stars that represents his belt.
Then the day sky. Recent discovery of a new love. When the clouds fill the blue space, it gives such happiness to me. And that mood causes me to capture the moments. And I have photos taken each day. As much it has inspired me I thought of searching more info about clouds. Also a “thank you” should go to my friend who gave the initial idea.
There are types of clouds in different levels of the sky. They have different formations that act for different purposes. But I will touch only on their looks.

Within the range of 6,000 feet and below

Stratocumulus – Kind of puffy and spreads
Stratus – spreads and covers a vast area
Cumulus – looks like small puffs

From the range of 20,000 feet to 6,000 feet
Altocumulus - Small puffy clouds that stay together
Altostratus – bit thicker than stratus and can cover the sun

Above 18,000 feet
Cirrocumulus – looks like small dots and spread in a vast area
Cirrus – looks like a bird art

And then there is
Cumulonimbus – rain clouds that spread from ground level up to 50,000 feet

If the naming of the clouds are bit trick the below grid will help you out

Source of teh grid - http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/cld/cldtyp/home.rxml

And if you want to read more

http://eo.ucar.edu/webweather/cloud3.html
www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud

Well I just browsed through few sites and found the info. Might not be 100% true but I am willing to listen to any comment that you may want to make and the topic is open to discuss.

But I will be searching more about CLOUDS and come up with a much better research. And may be about stars also

Till then……

Ahhhhhhhhhhh I just love watching the sky!!!

Crossing the road

2008-12-16T22:59:00.002+05:30

Came and stopped
Waiting, waiting and waiting
That man was not patient enough
Drew right past me.
She, with a child
Crossed without looking, both sides
They talking crossed,
And waved at the car
With smiles on their faces.
I am quite sure
The driver didn’t see that
Cuz he was too busy frowning
Cross, stop horn and cross
And I, still waiting waiting and waiting
Trying to figure out
What to f=do?
My mind just tripped off
Am I the driver?
Or waiting to cross the road?

Guess thats what I want

2008-12-16T16:57:00.002+05:30

I miss it awfully. Yes being in love. Not the kind of love that involves kissing hugging and then breaking up, but the true one that will assure you that everything going to be alright. Far apart but still together. Where you say “swept by the feet" kind of feeling. It’s such a shame that I have never felt like that my teenage life; because I was busy doing things that was not of my choice. Not blaming anyone but I was too responsible of so many other things that I missed that life. The care free life. Came into a corporate world got screwed up with its busy-(mess). Got involved and then breakup. Perhaps because I knew it was not what I was looking for. Or the other party knew it was a mistake.
Once a friend asked me, what type of a person I was looking for. I went speechless. Downright speechless, I never thought how it was going to be. But all I know is when I meet that someone all going to be fine.

ahhhhhhhhh being toooo sentimental, but I a human

At a time like this

2008-12-15T16:53:00.000+05:30

Today we had a forum, where my mentor spoke of how to face at a time like this. Where recession is hitting businesses, and revenue wise cooperates are facing issue and they have to take up drastic measures in order to satisfy their customers. And we are being ripped off by some benefits that we had during Christmas time last year. (Matter of fact some of my friends are not feeling Christmassy at all) But with an open mind I was able to listen to her. It’s understood that I have very less number of problems compared to some of my other colleagues who are married and wage earners. Okay I might not have a problem at all... yes I am one of those lucky brats I suppose. However what she told us today is ringing in my mind and hope to mark it in my blog so who ever would like to read this will have a better way of facing the future

Have Confidence in you
If there is a person that you can rely on, most of the problems will fade away. And if you have the reliance on yourself no one can pull you back. Not even yourself.

Think like a champion
Every champion has their own ups and downs. But a true champion will never let one drawback hinder the path way to success. Constantly try the best and through failures you will find the light for the future.

Always be in alert
Things change and we have to be in alert to identify them and make plans to overcome the obstacles that may occur.

Be extra ordinary
We can succeed at a given task and all you will be is excellent. But how to be extra ordinary? Do not be afraid for change. Life is not always giving you a path that is smooth. But it’s always fun to ride on rough roads. So adopt o change and live it and love it.

To conclude this emphasizing on the fact that it’s a choice you make about life. Can be optimistic or pessimistic but YOU will have to live it

My guinea pig for experimental food

2008-12-12T20:34:00.001+05:30

As a kid I played house
It was a house where I was the cook (oh no)
Most of the food was raw,
Days old and mom just throw.
But my income was low
Hand to use then so.

But being the good host
I always boast
How good my food was
Yet needed a guinea pig of cause.

Had one person looking at me
Saw the innocent eyes that gleam
“There you go. My own guinea pig”
I just fed him my master chef wonder dish.
With awe of wonder with trusting heart
He just ate it and wanted some more.

Mom just came by, saw my experiment
Gave a loud cry and rush him to the hospital
“A rotten tomato is not that bad
And I am quite sure that he should be glad”
To get a sister like me
Who consider him as a guinea pig
And what the heck
You owe that to me
Since you and my brother who was just three

A real life scenario. I am sorry malli. For what I have made you eat. And thank you for baring all my mischief. He actually was three and I was four J

Traffic in Colombo

2008-12-11T18:30:00.001+05:30

Whenever I see the board COLOMBO one thing that comes in to the mind is that how we fall behind a line of vehicles every few meters we hope to travel. And I am quite sure that you do have few good stories to share.

Before I begin this I must emphasis on the fact that I am not a person who knows how to drive a car and matter of fact not good in riding at least a bicycle. I always wanted to learn but it’s something like learning the violin for me. Though I love it so much I just can’t seems to concentrate on the minor facts such as shifting the gear hanging on to the wheel the breaks the lights the horn the car seat that is not right. So I gave up without actually trying it out. But 2009 resolution is to learn how to drive car safely and and so fast that you will be aghast :)

Traffic, as I mentioned before is something I meet on my way to work. Though I live off road to Colombo the place is known as a devils point when it comes to traffic. The driver (whom I admire for his patience and swearing that follows, yes early morning) go zig zag and comes in to a halt behind a queue of vehicles ready to charge forward.

Now this is the beauty of morning traffic. It gives me time to watch the citizen of Colombo in action. The van next to me is filled with school kids. They actual have so much to talk. Showing off their latest collection of Pokémon stickers and argue about the favorite super hero strengths.Pulling their hair screaming laughing. Reminded me of my childhood. Then there is a cute little girl looking at me with her big eyes. She is privilege to go in a CRV and was turning her head away from the food that her mom is trying to push into her mouth. I smiled at her and so she did. That was a moment we shared and we both knew that we will never meet again but that smile we shared made our lives different. Then the green lights came so we parted. I was heading to Colombo and was stopped by a check point. After all the necessary identification we were let to go. I actually said thank you, not because I am against or for the war but merely for the service they rendered and I always admire people who are honest at their job.

Came to the heart of Colombo, where you can identify with amount of carbon smoke ejecting from the vehicles and by the clouds thay form. We were moving quite fast today. 10 miles per hour. I do always say that this is fast if you are a Colombo rider. We were at a halt. Near a well known school. A place where our future compiling itself with tools and necessities. You see so many vehicles parked by the road. From our dream car to the motor cycle is carrying a parent or a gradient and the child. They were all going to the same school. Getting the same education. But different methods of transport. So we stared the ride and came into a place where most of the cooperates are gathering. They greet each other some looks so fresh in the morning some looks as if they didn’t sleep at all some seems to be in love with their work and some have lost their minds. I notice all this so carefully as we ride 5 miles per hour now. With all that observation I finally came to office.

Now the only night riding life I have. I do not go out in the night much. Ahhh okay not at all. However when I work till late, I get the rare moment of checking out Colombo, at night. I simply love it. With lights and colours and people hurrying to their nests make me sort of feel that I have a little moment in the Colombo night life. Then suddenly the vehicle stopped. Near the Colombo campus. Guess some one ”important” was passing by. The driver uncle (as we call him) started saying his extract of the day so I got plugged in to my mobile mp3 player. I just love my music. So we waited and waited and now it started raining. Can life be any more fascinating? As the rain started to progress they allowed the vehicles to go. But to go where? Due to the fact that rain drops have damaged our brain cells and also it flooded in most of the roads we started moving 4 miles per hour. I actually couldn’t see that much of people inside vehicles since it was dark. But I felt kind of comfy and safe inside the air conditioned vehicle. Loved the rain and how it drops slowly in the glass and how they shine like beautiful diamonds when the light reflects. I was actually having a good time. And I wish the vehicle to move really slowly. (Though there was no need to pray for it since we were moving reaaaaly slow). I was how pedestrian peril from the Hugh mud puddles and felt for them. Yet I loved the rain and this traffic (May be I am mean, but I was enjoying the moment). Then another van which was moving ahead of us broke. Right on the middle of the road. But I was amazed to see how people out of nowhere came into the rescue. Soon the road was cleared and we were free to go (4 miles per hour is the standard at that time). I reached home at 9.30PM with a nice feeling about the traffic in Colombo...

Change....

2008-12-11T09:33:00.005+05:30

I need a change
As I felt like I am trapped in a cage
I need a change
From all what I was engaged
I changed my room
Painted in pink and blue
Changed my cloth line
It was colourful and light
Changed my hair, changed my whole appearance
Changed my favourite TV channel
Changed what I read
Hoping to have a new vision

Yet, I felt down and sad
I felt so trapped inside
Sad sad I felt so bad
What changes to be done?
To all that I have

Waita’minute
What am I doing?
I have being changing the whole world
Isn’t it that I am to change my looking glass?
Now the world is better as I changed my inner self
And the world is much happier

Planting tress

2008-12-10T15:45:00.003+05:30

Today I planted a plant in a pot. The main reason for this is because I love greenery and it helps me to calm and remind how lucky I am as we still live in this era.

We livein the 21st century, which they said to be a barren land and a land covered with concrete structures. Partly yes, we see buildings coming up in every corner but our ancestors who had the brains and guts to think about the future (at that time - us, the 21st kids) had planted trees so that we are having some green popping here and there. However I am not blaming or pointing the figure at any one because I believe and work for a company which enhances the human lives via new technology. Our lives are made easy and we become more efficient, productive and so on. For example concrete buildings which are not pleasing to the eye actually provide us with a better and comfortable lodging and a segment of concrete building which are called apartments give shelter to a broader number of families. However this is not my topic for today

Planting trees and what use they give us.

It’s easy to plant trees. You dig a hole and keep the plant and cover with soil and then water. However there is a after service that it yearn in order to grow big and strong. It needs fertilizing, watering and contact care and love. Basically they need your attention for some time and after it is familiar with the ground it will grow itself all by himself in to a strong beautiful tree. (Isn’t it a living happily ever after sort of story??)

Now the uses. How does a tree help a human being? This is a question asked from us when we were in the primary for environment studies. And after think a lot and figuring out how much I have forgotten about my childhood knowledge, I managed to jot down the below

Trees give us food (to satisfy our hunger to live)

Trees give us flowers (beauty)

Trees/plants are planted as to decorate the gardens (beauty)

Trees helps us in the water cycle (one major contributor)

Trees reduces the air pollution and help to purify the air

Tree branches and the trunk are used to build houses and furniture

Trees are used as medicine/ingredients for medicine

Trees are used as cosmetics/cosmetics ingredient

Trees helps in preventing soil decay

Tress helps to play. E.g. The swings

And last but not least and my favourite

“Trees Calms you down”

I know that for a fact, because each morning on my way to work I go under a natural arch made by big trees that stands besides the Cumarathunga Munidasa Mawatha (or is it the Thurston road???). During that few seconds all my worries are faded and Ï fly like an eagle, and yeah believe me :)

Making your Point “true”

2008-12-09T16:08:00.001+05:30

Lately I am progressing into a new hobby (yes I am aware of the fact that I am going through a total life style transfer)
The new hobby is”Arguing” or somehow “making your pint true”. Its fun and you learn views of the other opponent/s you may not really feel that person in incorrect but its rather fun to see how a person counterattack for the words you throw at him/her. I must emphasis on the fact that most of the points I try to convey are my own thoughts and judgments of the given subject.
My colleagues, friends are the victims. The topics are rather casual and we discuss (Argue is more appropriate) on many areas. As a true fighting spirited representative from the feminine gender I never give up on where I stand. We hatchet each other’s views and end up (most of the time) without a proper conclusion of whatever we talked about. However when the heat is over and we are back to this world of peace and harmony I actually sit and think about the facts that we came up with and take note of the situation with a wider view. And hence I must point out that is one good thing about arguing.
And what have I learnt so far? Simple it’s that what I believe in a certain issue is not the same as the view of another person. Mainly because we see the world in different levels. Yet I have the right to put forward my view on the table and make (the puppet) dance with strings controlled by me. And so does my opponent. Yet both the puppets we try to dance are with strings attached. When not handled carefully we there is a chance that the strings will get entangled, which will not be a entertaining show to the audience, but merely a laughing stick scenario which nobody will take a notice of.
So how to handle the puppet show (the argument) properly? Be comprehensive with the argument.
I read books, newspapers, tabloids (yup they too), blogs and so the list grows. And sometimes perceive how certain individuals argue on variety of topics. Intellectual to CRAP. They bring out facts and figures and make into a comment and suggestion. When you are bringing up facts, the validity of the facts are a golden rule. As you can not alter facts and figures. (Oxford dictionary 7th edition; Facts and figures- Precise details) Even though this is the case certain people do deviate from this and try to prove their point through own comments and assumption which sometimes make a fool out in the field. They should understand that just because they see 9 out of 10 heads d=heads nodding in agreement does not mean the point is correct. Our eyes are made in such a way that we can see less that 180° and we actually have to make an effort and turn our head to see the full 360° view and even more effect to see the whole globe around us.(Still we might have not covered more dimensions)
Getting back to my new hobby; I never was like this. I used to nod in agreement for anything came on my way. NOT because I was “blond” but due to the fact that I was not thorough with the subject of argument and thought the other person will try to guess me as indecent person. But then ä little birdie taught me that my view of the subject can make a different too. Hence here I am singing “
“Getup stand up – stand up for your right” Bob Marley 1973
And to those who come to argue with me let me remind you one phrase “when you fight with a pig in the mud, the pig actually enjoys it “and yeah I love mud baths, it’s good for the skin.

How a Flower came in to Life

26th November 2008

Got/stole a flower bud from the reception lobby. Let it grow and watched the process each day. Then could not come to work for few days and saw the death of the flower. Life cycle of a flower. Not meaning to point anything about it. Just a mere incident in life. I guess the flower just had a good death. We all look for a good life to have a good death.(inspired by the book written by Ralston Saul - On Equilibrium, The Six qualities of the new humanism. Still half way through reading it)

Communicating via the MOBILE PHONE

2008-11-18T18:47:00.003+05:30

I was working the whole day, and was really stressed out. My heart has stopped beating was annoyed with my own face that appeared on the monitor. That was it…. I needed a break. It was 5.45PM but still most of my colleagues were working. Guess it’s due to the fact that we say “Yes We Can” for every bucketful of “sunshine” comes in our way and then end us working till late
Urghhhhhh I forgot why I started writing this (and I keep on forgetting why I was born and who care when I forget what I was going to say), as I was saying earlier I was feeling really bored, stressed and annoyed, sad, contempt down and drowning in sea of unhappy thoughts a flash light just brighten my brain. I thought of paying a visit to my dear dear friends. And I must emphasis the fact that I can start chatting and there can never be an end. And if I am in correct mood you will barely get to talk at all.. (Ah dear friends please bare that with me… what to do I am being meJ). So I got up, started walking looking for a innocent victim to with my chatting ability. So I peeped into the nearest cubical. She was on a call (official!!!). So I went to the next, he was about to make a call, so I just passed him and came out from my division. Looked around and noticed how much we are capable of doing a “job done” only by talking over that phone (Yes the next department was busily speaking over that phone)
So came to different section on the floor, where my friend was busily texting someone at a rate. Didn’t want to disturb her. Then A loud noise shock me and was happy as this means I can finally join this group to have a chat. But when I by that place the site was not so heart pleasing at all, All of them was busily chatting away on the phone and guess what, they are using “call conferencing” to chat with a friend who was not there. OH GOD!!!
So what’s wrong with this world? Why are we hooked on to this small piece of equipment, can’t we see much this small gadget has dominated our lives.
Yes I was lonely again in a room filled with people. But at least I got something to think about and put down my “Me Thinks” like this. At the first stage of human evolution we used to communicate by signaling and sound. Like waving the hand, grunting, growling and so on. So gradually this turned in to sounds with some meanings forming letters to words and thereafter a whole sentence that was consisted with correct spelling Grammar and meanings for us to understand each other correctly. Also writing ability came in to the picture hence we wrote down what we feel and/or things we should remind ourselves. As the human nature was to reach more than what we have, we stared to reach out of our reach. So snail mail was introduced (Now its snail mail but it was the fastest and assured way of travelling news) Print media also was a hit. And somewhere down the line a wonderful phenomena, transmitting by waves was discovered. The radio was found. But all who loves that voice wanted to see them for real. So the television was introduced to us. Also during the same period with radio signaling Mr. Graham bell (the accuracy of that in not guaranteed by me as I have seeing it is rather doubtful) found the telephone. So all of these discoveries, invention one of us wanted to communicate “wireless”, hence the mobile phone was born. From a device that managed to kill-someone-with, now we have mobile phones that can be mistaken to a match box. The wonderful divine gift to the human sometimes makes us forget that we are human. This is not done directly but with the entire C%^* like globalization syndrome that many of us are facing the mobile phone plays a big part of it. First we stared chatting over the 2G technology and the text messaging(Short Message Service) was introduced making us and addictive generation (I was, but thank GOD I do not find it interesting anymore). General Packet Radio Service introduced, and the mobile communication synchronized with the internet. Now we are in the period of video calling where in simple terms 3G and/or3.5G. This is specifically used at corporate premises to hold meeting and so on.
Likewise data is transmitted and communicating through technology is occurred every corner at a rate. But have we all forgotten how it was before all this. We actually have forgotten to say HI to some of our friends. Sometimes simply because we are busy or since so many methods to communicate are available that we take it for granted. The simple keeping in touch is taking a new level of minding-your-own-business or leave-me-alone phase. Lovers do not write letters filled with their love and feelings. Those Romantic letters was exchanged only between our grandparents??? Parents are not advising their children on how to face life. Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru wrote letter of Life to his daughter Indira Ghandhi on how the man evolve and how he overcome obstacles. These letters are still inspiring those who want to have a new insight to life.
My questions are
What will happen to us?
What are we going to give the generation that comes henceforth?
Will they blame us or become more inhuman than we are?

Don’t worry be happy is what we can do for the time being. Well I must conclude now as I am getting a call to my mobile. Finally somebody REMEMBERS me !!!

Violin Lesson

2008-11-10T10:47:00.002+05:30

I Love to play the violin
Near a lake with moon light dandling
For that I bought a brand new violin
Went for a lesson with a sovereign

I sat near the alter
Where I could see my master
He explained “Violin” character
Alas I saw all the torture

Hold the violin align with your chin
Stand up straight with no limb bling
Keep the fingers, each wire in
Draw the bow with all strength within.

My fingers bleeding
My knees trembling
And my poor poor chin
I felt I doing a sin (to the violin)
It’s a lapse I am doing to the violin,
Seems like a blunder to all who master the violin
It’s no good me trying to learn the violin
So I bid farewell to my Violin

Good bye my dear dear violin,
May be some other day I will do some dancing
Near a lake when moon light dandling
So now I must dance after learning

SunRay

2008-11-10T10:07:00.002+05:30

She was walking down the street
With flowers in her hand
They were pretty and fresh and nice
She had them picked when it was sunshine

The SUN had its own plan, hot and warm
Sent his rays so fast and sharp
Her lovely flowers bent with his harmful flicker
They faded and didn’t look pretty, and she was unhappy

“What good these flowers are for me All faded an dead?”
She just threw it away and walked away from them
Flowers were pretty. Flowers were fresh
But now they lay a miserable death.

Sometimes in life we throw away the most beautiful just because someone else harmed it. and We could have just protected it from happening

Why I forgive you?

2008-11-10T09:58:00.002+05:30

Who am I to judge you?
If I am at fault myself.
I say you should do this
Yet you do what makes you feel right
Should I blame you?
And ridicule your idea and feelings
Let me wear your shoe
And lend me your colored glasses
Well, the picture is entirely different
Hence I forgive you.

Types of Reading

2008-10-10T21:36:00.002+05:30

Recently I developed a crave for reading. I mean I was into reading but few reasons were stopping me from fully getting into it. Well all that is GONE WITH THE WIND.
Anyhow getting back to my “NEW AND IMPROVED” (oaky that’s doesn’t sound right, New and improved??? Anyways is local advertisements can use it why can’t I? That is for you to worry about and me to write J ) HOBBY, I have noticed that there are many types of reading. I will introduce them but must warn you that they are being named as READING TYPE “NUMER”, because if I start giving names for them all of you will want me to name your child J yeah!!!

Reading Type Number I
This is the type of reading where you just skim through the materiel. Nothing goes to your head. Too lazy or unimportant, for you to understand the content.
E.g. Local News papers

Reading Type Number II
More serious reading. You concentrate hard and try to get everything to your head, or you are dead (wow that rhymes, maybe I should write poetry). This type of reading is done during exam season and when you read project proposals. You may not be highly enthusiastic about them but gives prominence, if not you are DOOMED.

Reading Type Number III
Very important and you enjoy reading them. Very enthusiastic and high chance of reading them once again
E.g. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Harry Potter by J.K.Rowling
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurie

Reading Type Number VI
YOU are not reading at all. You are bluffing. The reasons could be
i. To impress someone. E.g. your parents
ii. To avoid someone
iii. To pretend that you are busy
With this type of reading what you just do is just count the number of vowels in the paper and divide them by the total number of letters and the come up with the rate of vowels per each letter. This is quite hard and this portrait you are concentrating REALLY hard on your reading

Reading Type Number V
Improvise reading. You read out aloud with little bit of expression. You use your eyes and facial muscles to improvise the content, so the CORRECT message goes to the reader.

Reading Type Number VI
Little Sister of the Reading Type Number V. Reading stories to kids. You get to read only half way through because you will have to answer the 21 questions from those little “kids”. Then you finally agree on the modern term “I was BORN intelligent and education ruined me”

Reading Type Number VII
Everyone thinks that you are reading “The Constitution of Blah blah blah. But actually you are reading the “Archie comics”. And the people around you wonder “hmmm how come that serious stuff she is reading sounds so funny….”
“Wik-keeeeed”

Reading Type Number VIII
Reading news or a product portfolio in radio. No feelings, just loud.

Reading Type Number IX
Reading billboards on your way to office. You see how the colour fades away each day

Reading Type Number X
Reading number plates. You can add divide subtract or multiply the numbers plates on vehicles. And notice similarity of some of the number plates with phone numbers that you know.

Reading Type Number XI
Reading the fellow MAN kind. It’s not hard to read another human being. But very amusing, the way they say or do something totally different from what THEY REALLY FEEL INSIDE.

Reading Type Number XII
Reading your own self. NO COMMENTS!!!

All’s well that ends well. Currently I am reading 4 books and the all fall in to “Reading Type Number III” and “Reading Type Number II” as I am doing few assignments and my exams are near.(I am not much of a studious person anyways). Reading Type Number IX and X are my favourites.
Let’s see what all this reading will lead me into. Two options either I will have at least the brain or I will end up becoming JANE.

Think out of the box

2008-10-03T23:41:00.002+05:30

The original was,
Think out of the box
But all I want to do was
To think the shape of the box
So why not for a change…
Think out of a “ball”?
And go round and round
Think out of a “cone”?
And go round and up
Or think out of “something”?
And have no limits and boundaries
Just think free
Not the shape of the box.

How to say No

2008-10-03T22:23:00.000+05:30

No means NO
Do you want more?
And I said NO
Why don’t you want more?
Because I don’t KNOW
Now there is another NO
Do you really think it’s NO
No this is not that NO
It is this KNOW
Well I don’t know about that know
And I know more No
No more know NO
I am just learning how to say NO
And you KNOW

Procrastination – Work life

2008-09-28T16:55:00.001+05:30

I sat and I thought
I will finish today
Cuz I was not there
To finish em anyway

I thought and I thought
Argued with myself
“What is important?”
“What should be prioritized?”

Coloured them in red
Those of importance and already late
Coloured them in green
What are good to GO!!!
Yellow, blue and pink
Sure gave the ART a kick
Black purple and maroon
Some colours I used

Today is the day
Yes end to my “pro-cras-tic” work style
Today I will finished them all
And feel high five

It looks so lovely with all colours and shades
I was proud of myself
So I stared and stared
Till my heart content

But alas then I checked the time
Its’ 5 o’clock, yup 5 o’clock
Its time to go, or I will miss the bus

Procrastination! Procrastination!! O Procrastination!!!
What about ending procrastination?

Well at least I thought
To end it today
And I am satisfied
Cuz I will end it ANOTHER DAY!!!

Journey

2008-09-20T21:47:00.007+05:30

We pass
The cows the goats the meadows the house the road the sea
We pass so much that nothing is thee
When will the journey end
When are we free
I want to sleep now
So I can be me

Left - Mumbai somewhere

Right - Somewhere on the way to Colombo from Kandy

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

2008-09-20T21:47:00.003+05:30

Women talk, Men listen
Men talk, omen talk
Problems sorted
Or problems created

Men gives advice, women listen
Women gives advice, men are offended
A situation was created
To understand what we really want

A man loves woman to shut
A woman loves man to open
But when together
They do the opposite, and still are in Love.

Are men really from Mars?
And women from Venus?
Why is its o impossible to understand?
Why am I torched for being who I am?

Who cares where we are from?
As all we do is love each other
I like you and love who you are
And we will live on EARTH forever and more.

Love is…

2008-09-20T21:46:00.001+05:30

Love is happiness
Love is sunshine in the morning
Love is moonlight that bounce in the placid lake
Love is joy
Love is mystery
Love is breath of life
Love is pain
Love is heartache when you are away
Love is the breeze that whisper softly in the ear
Love is music
Love is hard
Love is my hero
Love is my weakness
Love is darkness
Love is a long road
Love is good
Love is being bad with you
Love is selfish and blind
Love is giving all you have
Love is sleep
Love is waking in the night and thinking about you
Love is breakfast with a red rose
Love is time
Love is money
Love is a dream that comes true
Love is real
Love is strong
Love is so fragile
Love opens your eye
Love is love
Love is you and me
Forever and most
Love is you and me
You and me is what love is all about

What happens to our dreams? - A note

2008-09-20T21:45:00.002+05:30

As children we dream
The impossible things that we dream
They come true in our imagination
We make it happen in our imagination
But when as it about to happen
We grow up and gain an education.
And what does this education tells us?
Stop dreaming start looking at the reality
And this education is something told by someone
But What if we didn’t listen
What was said to us?
We would still be dreaming
And make those dreams come true
Hence we will be happy for ever.

You and you

2008-09-20T21:44:00.001+05:30

When you wrap your arms around me
I feel your heart
Your breath that’s warm
You smile I hear
But do you know
What I feel inside?
I feel so happy
So happy that it’s like I am in heaven
My heart beats so fast
Please don’t ask me any more
Cuz I really can’t answer
I am feeling the love
Please let me just feel it.

Dream

2008-09-15T22:04:00.001+05:30

Build a nest
Build a dream
Till it break Into three
Build the nest again
Build the dream again
Never give up
As life is filled with more dreams
There are no limits
No boundaries
All we have is to
Dream an endless dream

Life in the rain

2008-09-15T22:00:00.000+05:30

Why is it always nice
To dance in the rain
when its sunrise

Why does it rain,
when you are in the pain
And make you feel alright

Life is sad
Yet so wonderful
Gives surprises
and takes what'with you

It's how you feel
It's how you act
Life is yours
Just take control

Falling (when you left me)

2008-09-15T21:58:00.001+05:30

How can I hate you
When I am falling in love with you
You wanted what was mine and all I wanted was you
I dreamt about you I thought about you
And now you are not here with me.
It hurt so much because, Now....
I am falling in love with you

Raindrop

2008-09-15T21:41:00.002+05:30

I am a raindrop falling down from sky

I felt so high and my thoughts fly by

I felt so cool calm and nice

Falling so high I feel so right

But wait. Why was I born?

Is it only to fall rest of my life?

Aren’t I of any use?

Am I just a raindrop?

So small and insignificant.

So fragile and meaningless

NO time to think now I was already falling

So I closed my eyes, and felt myself hit on the ground.

And open my eyes, saw the world smiling with life

Hence I knew my life purpose

I am a little raindrop giving life and happiness

Forgiven not forgotten

2008-09-15T21:40:00.000+05:30

The title say it all but if you need more explaining well that’s what am about to do. We do mistakes sometimes and you may find that they are acceptable at that point yet letter when you think more, you will find that it is not so. However if you meant what you did back, and meant with the whole heart of you just wait for the com-back... It’s as clear as crystal you will get it back... I am telling you through personal experience, being a LEARNING-2-Live human I have done mistakes and mischievs and I have learned through them... Hence my mission of life is to live it carefree and with minimal heartaches to my surroundings :)

And also this note is especially to all those wonderful people once I knew and still I know please do forgive me for what I have done.

As a closing statement I would like to stress on the fact that mistakes can be forgiven but never forgotten…

Stars

2008-09-15T21:36:00.000+05:30

Each night when I look up in the sky
I see stars shining, in the moonlight
Then I made one wish
That you would be here to give me a kiss
And something just struck to me.
The sky is not the same
Something different and...
it’s not the same everyday
Then I looked into my heart and thought.
Was it the same one from the start, was it you that I really want?
I was looking for a shining star, but actually its not what I want.
I was looking for that special one, That special one who made all the magic
Who made it worth living every night
With or without starts

Aint no sunshine when she/he is gone..

2008-09-15T21:28:00.001+05:30

Is that the same for everyone of us...I mean for me it should be "Aint no sunshine when he is gone.." (Definitely phew)Yeah I think it was...So for first few months it was "aint no sunshine" but then like all other human we see the beauty of darkness...I mean there is the moonlight and the shinning starts... a torch light… lamps... Car lights... Disco lights.. And so I can go on and on and on… All which tells us that another sort of a life and hope is out there...And the next is a whole new day with a brighter sun (Okay it can be HOTTER too)...So nothing to worry just wait and see…
This is dedicated for a very sweet friend of mine.. And to a sunshine that went away few months ago.. Keep the Sunny smiling people.
This note will not make any sense for most of you...that’s just me thinks things crazy :) but someone will get my thoughts soon :)

I would do anything for love

2008-09-15T16:47:00.000+05:30

I would do anything for love
That’s what you said to me..
And that’s what I believed you would do.

I would do anything for love
Is what I believed in so much
That made me not to think otherwise.

You came and you went
Now I am all alone
Sitting a hoping that one day
You will come and ease my mind again
Just like the way you did back then
Make me go higher to the heaven above.

And I turn back and see
I did make a mistake…
I did a mistake which I can not undo…
Past is past please forgive me
I need you so badly, that it kills me

I Do anything for love
This time
I DO ANYTHING FOR YOUR LOVE

Do I miss you?

2008-09-15T16:41:00.001+05:30

I still believe we can make this right
I want to make it right
I remember and I cry
Will you care if you see how much I die inside
Will you miss then the love we had
Or is it just another illusion I have in my mind
I cry I die I survive I smile
I try to make it alright
Will you still care if you know that
I know that you never cared then.

When you are not around..

2008-09-15T15:03:00.001+05:30

Do you know that I talk so much when you are not around
I tell everything to you,
My happiness
My sadness
My heartfelt and heart not felt feeling,
How my day has being and how it should have being
I tell them to you and I see how you smile at me
How you advice me and make me feel all right.

But when I am with you,
I am not what I am in my mind
My whole day is not important any more
All I want to do is stay like this forever
Forever with you and feel your warmth
I do not want to share my day with you
But my overwhelming love with you.
