Yes, Christmas is coming nearer, but this isn’t about Christmas gifts (sorry to have you disappointed)
. But having seen/heard people actually enjoying or using something you have put your sweat on, the feeling is really pleasant.
For some years now I’ve been using a simple spread sheet to keep track of my personal finances. Over the years it evolved a lot and some time back I gave some copies to couple of my friends. And now it’s being used by a whole lot of people I don’t even know! It is simply – joyous – to see people actually using it.

A series of earthquakes has struck in and around Sumatra yesterday and today. Tsunami alerts had been triggered by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center which I got to know from a friend of mine while I was at work. Brought back those bitter memories of 2004. Wish something like that never happen to anyone anywhere.
But looking at it on a different side, by going through the bulletin issued by the Warning Center, I was surprised to see United Kingdom under alert! First I thought it was some mistake, but scrolling down I saw DIEGO GARCIA which is now occupied by the UK and US military. From what you see at Wikipedia it seems to be a cool place for vacation:)

First of all, hats off for all the brave people who contributed to capturing Thoppigala. It’s a great victory for sure. But at the same time it’s too bad they have to close down certain roads in Colombo.
Being an IT guy I some of the time have to work from Customer sites and one such customer is base near Temple Trees. Couple of days back I had to go out of where I’m working for some matter, and on my way back only to find out that buses towards Colombo are being diverted via Slave Island after 9:30AM!! Darn! It was about to rain, so I took a tuk-tuk for a 5 min. max walk/crawl. And Guess what?! I didn’t know Tuk-tuks in SL run on Rocket Fuel(or at least that’s how they charge you)!!
Back to my point, majority of people in Lanka travel by Bus(like me). So why restrict buses and let all other vehicles pass through?
Makes me wonder, Why don’t they build a parliament in Hambantota;-)

Finaly-after waiting for over eight months, time came for me to step into fatherhood. It was an awsome feeling, no words to describe it. But I don’t want to go into more details about in this post. Instead I would like to shift your attention into another side of blogging. Now I could write about what I felt, how I reacted, what went through my mind whlie waiting out side the labour room and so on. But did it ever occured to you how your father reacted or felt when he went through the same experiance when you was born?
I guess our children would know, now that blogging is here. Just hope that blogging would be still there in another dacade or so. Diaries still are, so I guess blogs will be there as well.
