Finally watched Machan

After hearing from almost everybody I finally went and watched Machan directed by Uberto Pasolini and I realised why everyone is highly recommending it. First of all the stroy line is different and the fact that its based on a true story makes it more interesting. It wasn't a star studded crew but the actors did more than justice to the film. After doing some Googling I found out that the director actually spoke to some of the people involved and try to make the film as close as to the true story as possible. The jokes were all very natural and they were in flow with the story. You also get a glimpse into the poor communities of Sri Lanka and how hard it is to survive for them.One of the best Sinhala movies I watched in recent times and I highly recommend that you go and watch it.

Reunion Night was Great

We had the first official reunion of the 2002A/L batch of St.Peter's College and it was an fantastic event. We initially planned for around 60 people and more than 80 were present and because of the success of this event I think there will be more next time we plan a meet up. It was nice to see most of the guys after a long while. And instead of the normal fried rice and curries this time we had Kottu for dinner and it went very well with the drinks. There was liqour drinking competition and a dancing competition and Dilanks who was the captain of the Sri Lanka National team was given a special award. Then it was all dancing and drinking till it ended around 1.30 PM. Waiting until the next get together :)

What is the best bank to open an account in Sri Lanka

Opening a bank account is easy , but finding the best bank to open a bank account in Sri Lanka is pretty hard. Each and everyone of them have there advantages as well as disadvantages. There are many things to consider as well , the interest rates , limit of loans , internet banking , mobile banking and ofcoures all the bonuses that they provide. In the end I decided to go for Sampath Professional , the cool thing about that account is you can specify an amount that goes to another account and as soon as that account reach Rs.25000 they create a fixed deposit. Now that is a good way to save some money because the bank does all the work in creating a fixe deposit. Another factor was Sampath bank was the one closest to our office as well :) .

Why its not a good idea to quit drinking suddenly

Admitting you have a problem is the first step of solving a problem. Although I wouldn't call myself a drunk I do have a tendency to get carried away a bit in parties :) . Friends recommended I took professionla help , but with the internet around I was sure I would be able to find some nice articles to get over my drinking problems. After all there are plenty of alcoholics out there. Word of caution though , if you are a heavy drinker who drinks regularly stopping suddenly can have some unwanted effects and you should be on the lookout for common alcohol withdrawal symptoms. If you are light drinker who tends to get carried away in parties there are plenty of articles out there to help you get through it. And the best method of them all is to avoid going to drinking parties :)

Indians have a definite advantage over other countries because of the high number of IT work force and the high number of Indians living abroad.
