Southern Lanka Express Highway (E 01) - ආශ්චර්යයේ පිවිසුම හෙවත් දක්ෂිණ ලංකා අධිවේගී මාර්ගය

ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ පළමු අධිවේගී මාර්ගය, එනම් කොට්ටාව සිට පින්නදූව දක්වා දිවෙන දක්ෂිණ ලංකා අධිවේගී මාර්ගය අද දින (නොවැ.27 ඉරිදා) සුභ මොහොතින් ජනතා අයිතියට පත් කරන ලදී. එමගින් ගාල්ල සිට කොට්ටාව දක්වා පැයක පමණ කාලයකදී ගමන් කළ හැක. එය කාලය ඉතිරි කරගැනීමට, රථ වාහන තදබදය නැවැත්වීමට, ඉන්ධන වැයවීම අවම කරගැනීමට, සංචාරක කර්මාන්තයේ දියුණුවට මෙන්ම යුධ ගැටුම් වලින් පසු ලංකාවේ ක්‍රියාත්මක වන දැවැන්ත සංවර්ධන ව්‍යාපෘති උදෙසාද අතිශයින් වැදගත් ආයෝජනයක් වන බව ආර්ථික විශේෂඥයින්ගේ අදහසයි.

Hope

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."

HOPE

Hovering over the darkest of nights...
Obstructing the woeful, sober plights...
Passing through the valleys of time...
Eternal hope rings a charming chime...

Overcoming Challenges

There is no Challenge more challenging than the challenge to improve yourself... 
 ~Michael F. Staley~ 
 The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience but how he stands at times of controversy and challenges.
  ~Martin Luther King Jr~        

Challenges are unavoidable when you live in a society. They come in various forms; everyday...every second. Mainly, the challenges fall under two categories; as the ones you should accept, and the ones you shouldn't ! Most important thing is identifying them and understanding the way you should face them.

Upside down text and ASCII art for facebook, twitter and e-mails.

Simply copy (Ctrl+c) and paste (Ctrl+v) these funny upside down messages and text art into your facebook account, twitter or e-mails! I created the upside down msgs using a software which exchange the typed characters to their upside down flipped character. It's fun! Google "upside down text" and you'll get many interesting links. And also I've used some of the amazing pieces of Text Art available on http://fsymbols.com/text-art/ here. You can use http://fsymbols.com/generators/carty/ to crate your own text art!

Sir Arthur C. Clarke - a British citizen with a Lankan soul...

My father has this age old plus worn-out poster put up on a wall, and it is about a prediction of Sir Arthur, quoted from his book; The Deep Range. After noticing this for several days - and having read that wonderful novel several times - I decided that I'm still not late to express my gratitude to this greatest futurist of our times... And I must mention that I'm mesmerized by his art of writing and his excellent, incomparable  inventions.

Why I hate Chemistry, though it's an interesting field of Science


[this is just another personal opinion :)]
When it comes to ALs, chances of obtaining an A or a B pass for Chemistry entirely depends on how well one can by-heart all the books and notes. I'm not telling this only because I'm so sure that I'm going to get a 'F' for Chemistry this time :P, but because I really sense that there's something terribly wrong with the Chemistry paper... at least for those who follow Maths subjects ;)
