First visitor from Google

My squidoo lens about Habarana got its first visitor from Google and the search term was Habarana guest house. This was a bit of a surprise since I has only added it a few days ago. The success of my squidoo lenses are surprizing even myself. Looks like Google index them quickly and place a lot of trust in them as well. One more reason to build up more squidoo lenses :)

First day of the year

Yesterday was a half day for us , actually its not fair to call it a half day because most of the time is spent on having breakfast and exchanging gifts. I gave a shirt as the present and received a tie and cuff links as a present. Since we had the afternoon free we decided to go and watch Madagascar - Escape to Africa. It was not as cool as the first one but it was ok. I like the penguins the most :) . After the movie we went and played Dota , well not the best way to start off the year but at least I had fun.

Finding Hotels in Sri Lanka

One problem faced by big companies in Sri Lanka is organizing trips for the whole staff. Its pretty hard to find hotels in Sri Lanka that can accommodate around 700 people and more often than not they tend to choose two or three different hotels which are situated nearby. That is exactly what we did in our trip to Kandy. We reserved three hotels in Kandy and arranged a shuttle service between the three hotels. The things worked out very well and we had a great time. Since most of my friends were grouped and given same hotels I think everyone enjoyed the trip. Well it want be easy to find another three hotels next time around , so lets hope for the best.

Merry Christmas

This must be the first Christmas that I didn't went for church , and thinking about it now I do feel a bit of guilt but hopefully I can make up for it in the coming years. Instead of going to our aunts place as we usually do this time everyone came to our place for a change. It is always good to see everyone at least once in a year and I can consider myself truly lucky to have such a close knit set of relations. The food was great as usual with everyone bringing something to contribute to the table. It was sad to see everyone leave at the end but I guess all good things must come to an end.

Merry Christmas Everybody

Playing Basket Ball after a while

Well got an invitation to watch a Basket Ball tournament organized by SLIIT. And in the evening had an opportunity to play a game as well. It felt nice to play after a while although it was pretty hard because I was playing after a long time. Somehow we won the match and tomorrow we are playing the semi finals and chances of winning it seems pretty good.
