Good Bye 2009 - The year I Loved in Every Aspect

It's 1.08 a.m., 01st JAN 2010. Beginning of another Happy New Year. Well it's bit special this time because, hereafter the tens position will remain  positive for another 90 years :)

Anyway 2009 was a very special and joyful year for me. It was my busiest year too. I had my registration, wedding, graduation in a line. I got my first promotion in my career too. The most important thing is, I could feel the unity of my country under one throne for the first time of my life.

Afterall.....What a wonderful year !!!

Good bye 2009. May this new year bring everyone joy, peace and prosperity.

This is the place I ever want to be....Some call it small miracle.... Some say "Serendib". Proud to be a Sri Lankan.

Convocation - B. Sc. Engineering, University of Moratuwa

We (2004 batch) had our convocation on 25th June 2009. Yes it's a day to remember but I feel it as the last get together of our batch. Anyway it was a nice and bit tough experience :). Bad thing we couldn't get all our people at least for a one last pic because they were here and there busy taking their graduation pics.

Finally....we are graduates. The essence of 17 yrs education. I am really thankful to my dear parents who brought me up here, from the very first day of my school life. I'm sure they were so happy to witness that moment. Also, to Saliya who encouraged me through out my university life.

Isuru (our field top) got the gold medal which was awarded for the highest GPA.  Well....he is bit worried coz he has to keep aside a piece of gold :) - just kidding.Congratulations friend. Well done.

United Sri Lanka, Under one Flag

The day we have been waiting for.......After about 30 years, we have come to an end of  stupid terrorism of  Tamil tigers. The death of  tiger leader Velupille Prabhakaran, is not yet officially announced but seems everyone got the news anyhow.

A rebellion who's responsible for thousands of innocent civilian's deaths,  must have a destiny like this. Hope there will be no more Tamil Eelam dreams in anyone's mind hereafter. There's no doubt.....we got president Mahinda Rajapaksha for the sake of our nation. Wonder why any other leader couldn't do the right  for our motherland.

Sri Lanka Army Commander Lt. General Sarath Fonseka and Brigadier Shavendra Silva (In my personal favor, as the most performed commander) should be honored by every citizen in SL.

A united SL, never got a chance to feel it in my lifetime. So what can I say.....shouldn't this be the most valuable day of my life?

There is no home like one you got.....coz that home belongs to you.....

P.S. 19.05.2009

President Mahinda Rajapakshe addressed the nation today. A new era begins. Feel so lucky to witness this historical day. This is how Nugegoda people celebrated the victory.

Sun Rise at Sripada

My younger brother badly needed to climb Sripada as he had not gone there ever. Finally he was able to( of course with my help :)) convince our parents to organize a small trip. My main intention was to see the Sun rise ("Ira sevaya" in Sinhala) at sripada as I couldn't see it last time due to heavy rain and the cloudy sky. This time we were lucky to see the beauty of sun rise though the sky was cloudy. The sun rise at SriPada is not like a normal sun rise. It comes up and goes down several times while rising.

Sripada is just like a heaven where we can walk through the clouds and feel the origin of rain.

CSE Batch 04 - Going down

According to the tradition of Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering, UOM we organized a treat for the staff after graduating. I'd prefer to call it as our Goingdown since it was the last time we(our batch) got together officially. So it was much like a goingdown. Almost everyone from our batch, couple of juniors and CSE staff were there to share the moment and it was a great pleasure to see all our mates after couple of months.

They were not changed a bit :)



One of the videos we played there, showing the footprints, goes here. Cheers 04, The batch of love and unity.
