Cluster mate getting married
Well my cluster mate is getting married , and its about time as well , being the considerate friends we are we decided to have a bachelor party. All the naughty thought came to my mind but the problem was he was kind of a shy person so we wouldn't want to spoil party with him creeping out. So we decided the trusted method of getting drunk is the best way to go about it. Most of the others wanted to involve some chicks but knowing my friend I thought it wasn't such a good idea , after all it is his bachelor party. Being a party it is not that good to go empty handed especially here in Sri Lanka where everything is analyzed and scrutinized. Well I found plenty of Bachelor party gifts that can be given. Since Sri Lankand are not that much into golf I guess the second option is not so good but cigar related items definitely seems a good idea. The party went as expected with everyone getting drunk to the point where not one of us were in a condition to drive back , other than that it was a great success.

Importance of Grammar
Yesterday's toastmaster session was a bit special because most of the roles were done by our own club members and they did a fantastic job of it as well. There was a project speech and the evaluation was done by the guest speaker and there were few good points to be taken from that evaluation.
The guest speech was done by Mr.Yukthi Gunesekera and it was about "Achieving your goals through language" , it was a great speech and really pointed out how we neglect pronunciation when we are speaking. He also pointed out how improper use of grammar can ruin your credibility. The thought that immediately came to my mind was those blogs with poor grammar and spelling mistakes. It doesn't matter how good your content is if the reader can't read it in a proper manner you are going to loose the reader. With spell checks and lots of other tools to help you out there can really be no excuse to have spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes in your blog posts.

Starting a niche website
Niche website is a very valuable online property. The trick is to find a market that is not crowded but have enough audience to earn some money. Only way you can succeed this way is by doing research research and more research. I'm testing out a new blog which is about Yeast infection in dogs. There seems to be a decent amount of search for those words so maybe I'll do pretty well in that one. Results will be shown in another blog post.

Squidoo is a nice place to add your expertise on different subjects and also a nice place to get some traffic to your blog. It is especially useful if your blog is covering one niche and you are dying to write about some other thing that you know of.
