THE CRACK

Within the first few minutes of Mervin’s thuggery in Rupavahini corporation it became the hot topic in media. Anyway for two days they reported the news only in one point of view. Same story over and over again. But after Mervin’s some statements this has gained a new direction now.

In a statement to Divaina Sunday newspaper he says that he didn’t go to meet TMG. When he was discussing the matter with Rupavahini chairman, TMG came there and said “we only report what we need”. Then after once again Mervin urges to show his speech, some people with the news editor started the violence. He further says “this is a conspiracy against the government”.

Swarnavahini also today reported one of his statement which says “I only went there to discuss the matter peacefully”. He says that he accompanied only one person when he went there. “Attacking to one person with hundreds of others is not heroic” he says.

Anyway for sure this time Mervin is going to have a very difficult time since all the forces are against him.

At last my seven months vacation is going to be end. I wrote about my vacation in one of my previous posts but I didn’t think this is going to be this much of long. The reason for the extension is another long story, may be I’ll about it later. Anyway my third year in the university is to begin from next Monday.

Probably the best thing I used to do in this vacation was blogging. My blogging history is only about three months which started on early May. In this three months I’ve posted only 15 posts but I am really satisfied with the work I did. A big thanks goes to all the readers and specially those who commented here.

So after the academic work begins surely I won’t have much time to spend with my blog. But I’ll try to write as much as I can. I’m sure in the future I’ll write more about things going on with my university life. So keep in touch.

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.
