English is Pretty Confusing

Attended a Toast Master Club meeting today ,this was the third time I participated in the meeting and it was kind of fun. A very nice lady gave a presentation and if you follow it closely you can understand why people find it hard to learn english. I do have a fair understanding of English but the difference meaning given to different words according to the pronounciation was facinating to say the least. All in all I think I like the idea behing the Toast Master Club

Sports Day Around the Corner

Well its the sports day of our office on the coming Sunday.With the company growing to around 700 Employees we are having very few events for the whole company,Annual IFS night and the sports day being the only two occasions where the whole company get together.The sports day is held after 3 years and unfortunately participation isn't that high.There are four teams and surprisingly I'm the leader of one :).
Well its not something that I was hoping for but somehow or the other I became the leader.Luckily I got a great team to co-ordinate with other so the things should go according to plan.With 150 in a group I guess its a bit surprising that it was hard to find 7 gals for netball , I guess sports isn't a girl thing. Other than finding girls everything seems to be going fine so and the draw for events were also a bit favorable for our team.With a bit of luck we could be the champions :).
Tomorrow we are preparing the decorations for the tents and finalizing the details of the Mascot , One of our group members Shifana did a great job of creating the Mascot so we might win the Mascot event as well.

IPL is giving me headaches

I'm sure most of you are watching IPL , but aren't you all a bit confused about who to support ? When its Mumbai Indians vs most other teams I support Mumbai Indians because Sanath is on there side.Same when Murali is playing for Super Kings and when Sanga and Mahela play for Kings XI. Problem comes when Mumbai plays against Punjab or something similar like Chennai super kings against Punjab. Finally I decided I will support Kings XI punjab. They got two Sri Lankan players , has a great batting line up , a more than decent bowling line up , fields very well and best of all they got Preity Zinta :) , Thats one cheer leader you can't find everywhere in the world.

How the times have changed

There was another bomb threat recently and I was amazed at the reaction of some of the people , it happened during the lunch time and people just played carom and etc without any concern about the bomb threat.Only the people who were near the windows bothered to go somewhere else and other were business as usual.This reminded me of the bomb blasts just a few days ago , although our office was not badly damaged there were few broken glasses here and there.Yet almost everybody came to office and the ones who got late and the ones who didn't come were teased.My first recollection of a serious bomb blast was the LTTE attack on Kollonnawa and I think we got a holiday of around three months at that time.Of course we were school children then but I remember how everyone was shocked and sad.Now nobody even bothers much about a bomb.How the times have changed .............
