Who will win the Sri Lankan Presidential Election 2010?

It could be current president Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa or General Sarath Fonseka. I feel both sides have strong public support.

What we first need to understand is how a politicians mind work and how idiotic the common people are to swallow each lie they tell us.
I like to give you some famous quotes about politicians.

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
--Nikita Khrushchev
In order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant.
--Charles de Gaulle
A professional politician is a professionally dishonorable man. In order to get anywhere near high office he has to make so many compromises and submit to so many humiliations that he becomes indistinguishable from a streetwalker. -- H.L. Mencken
Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.
My personal favorite:
Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. -- Douglas Adams

90% of the politicians efforts goes to their own personal gains, So why the hell we need to give our vote to make a politician rich? When the whole country sacrificed (Some everything) all political leaders try to make it as their own victory to build a public image.

Eventhough this is the reality of Sri Lankan politics we must also embrace our voting right for the sake of democracy in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka Vesak 2009


Vesak is the most important day of the Buddhist calender. This day is special because of the birth, enlightenment and passing away (Parinirvana) of Buddha.

In younger days we used to create Vesak koodu (Lantern) using bamboo sticks but these days things are very different.

Swine flu - Is Sri Lanka ready?

World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a Phase 5 outbreak which is pretty close to a pandemic. According to WHO Swine flu (Pig flu) is rapidly evolving its way into more countries. 11 countries has been reported confirmed cases of A(H1N1) infections.
This new virus is a mix of pig, bird and human genes, People has little or limited natural immunity to fight the virus alone. That's why we need a vaccine very fast which WHO is working hard to produce.

I saw a Sri Lankan Health department spokesman has told that they are aware of the threat and are taking all measures to stop the virus entering the island.

Some people say that media is overreacting to Swin flu

Kaspersky Anti Virus - Internet Security 2009 - For Sri Lanka


Just got my hands on Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 just for Rs. 1790 for 1 year license. This special offer is valid only in Sri Lanka and Maldives. I think its a very reasonable price for such a powerful Anti Virus software which is only about Rs. 150 per month to protect your PC.
We should support this offer not only because its a very reasonable price, we should also promote these kind of marketing offers so other software vendors will also offer these kind of prices for countries like us. These kinds of promotions will benefit both the vendor and user.
User get the software for a reasonable price and vendor will benefit because users will less likely to steal the software so vendor will have something other than nothing.

Sri Lanka Vesak 2008

Vesak is on 19th this year, the Vesak mood is not there because of the war. There were few bomb explosions in these couple of months, so people are afraid to go out and enjoy the Vesak Joy (Thoran, Vesak Lantens, Vesak Kudu). Hope this war end quickly.

If you don't know anything about Vesak please visit this wikipedia page here

You can find Vesak Greeting Cards(E-Cards) here

Need a change - Stop and think

We celebrate every kind of festivals, new year, Christmas and other stuff.
How can we say Happy this and that when there are lot of people out there who don't even have a power to buy one meal. We don't even stop to think about them and how they suffer.

I don't know how to change this world, but I do what I can, I'm going to open a new account just for charity and deposit a share of my salary to that. that's the best I can do at the moment.
