THE CRACK

About 15 years back when I was a kid this was a very popular song among us. I’m sure you have also watched this nice song at least once. When I watched it on YouTube today it bought my sweet past memories back.

Enjoy it once again! Thanks MyLanka for adding this song on YouTube.

The new 07 wonders announced on 07/07/07 is everywhere on the web now. They call it new seven wonders of the world but it is actually not because of the following reasons.

1. They selected them based on the votes they received. Anyone can vote freely once via online. But what about the people who don’t have access to the web?
2. If someone want to vote more than once they can do it through SMS and telephone. For every call and SMS, an additional amount of money is charged. This restricts the votes to more rich people.
3. The voting process was available in only 12 languages and the people who don’t speak these languages have been neglected.
4. This is just a popularity contest and the scientific and educational work has been neglected.
5. People voted for their country not for the wonder if something from their country was on the list. For example their was a campaign in Brazil called Vote no Cristo (Vote for the Christ) to vote the Christ the Redeemer Statue and now it’s a wonder.

So now you can see how unreasonable and illogical selection is this. There may be more things that you know regarding this matter and you may have your own opinion. Please share it with others.

We have done so many challenging and competitive teamwork as university students and has earned reputation all over the university as a batch. But this time it’s different than the other achievements we gained.

Today, we launched our batch web site to the internet on www.e04pera.com. As the current students this is not a much necessity, but after graduation we’ll all go here and there may be outside the country so online is the only way to keep connections with each other. This is for that.

The web site was developed and currently maintained by one of our batch mates, Dhanushka and my brother helped us by hosting it. Every other batch mates helped us in different ways and a big thanks goes to all of them.
