Bandaranaike International Airport

Bandaranaike International Airport or also known as Katunayake International Airport is the one and only International Airport of Sri Lanka (for now actually till the Hambantota one is built and completed and starts operation in Jan 2012). We all see pics of Airports around the world and look at the beauty of this airport.. We wonder why can Sri Lanka, the country that we all love cant match these standards... But then, who cares how those big airports are eh?? We are SRI LANKANS!!! We should be PROUD of what we have... there are countries around the world who dont even have an airport.. but then we have our own... Lets be proud of that shall we??

found some pics of our Airport on the web and thought I'll share it with all of you... copyright for these pics belong to those who own these pictures.. if you know the owner of these pictures, please let me know so that I can give due credit those guys for taking these wonderful pictures.. hats off to the photographers for showing to the world that we too have an airport....

Sri Lankan Photographers : What the hell are they doing?

Image
When was the last time you went to a party/event and had a great time without having to pose with your friends for 10 different photographers?? When was the last time you went to a concert and was able to enjoy the show without your view being blocked by around 25 photographers?? Its obvious that Sri Lanka has gone through a "DSLR" boom and all the rich kids who used to own a decent digital camera now run around with a big ass camera of which they dont event know how to use 90% of the controls. And then there is the photography craze. Any event you go, there's at least 5 photographers from 5 different "online media" taking your pictures and publishing them god knows where. Seriously, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO PRIVACY? Any event you go to now a days, you have photographers. Photographers trying to beat the other photographer in getting that special shot that would get people to come to "their" facebook page and click "like" on it.

2017 Sri Lankan Holidays - Google Calendar ICS File

Its nearly the end of 2016 and as usual I was trying to find the Sri Lankan Holidays calendar for 2017 to add to my work and personal calendars. But unfortunately, I couldnt find one. So, I decided to make one on my own. Thankfully, some good guy out there ( I really cant remember his name) made this calendar for a few years which I've been using so I just copied the old events to a new calendar and changed their dates according to the dates published on the holidays list by the Ministry of Public Administration and Home Affairs ( http://www.pubad.gov.lk/web/index.php?option=com_latestdocument&documenttype=8&lang=en ) So, here you go. Download the ICS file from the link below and just import it into your calendars add the holidays. The calendar is set to Sri Lanka as location and GMT 5:30+ as the time zone. Download the file from  https://goo.gl/7E40Q2   Feel free to share it with others too. All credit to the original guy who made this.

Image
its been long since i wrote so decided to write something to write!! and indeed its a very interesting topic to write about!!! and as the title suggests im writing abt the day that Colombo, the Financial Capital of Sri Lanka was submerged in water after just 10 hrs of rain!!! what a day it was!! it all started on the 10th of November at around 8.00pm i guess when it started with a mild rain and then the thundering started.. along came the lightening also which is obvious (:P)... then the rain started to grow gradually... by around 11.00pm the thundering and lightening stops but not the rain which shows no signs of stopping... colombo goes to sleep... come next day and colombo wakes upto the news that Colombo has come to a half halt as many areas in Colombo have gone underwater due to the rain... roads all blocked.. schools closed after children come to skool in the morning for the term tests (term tests for public skools were to start on this day).. offices closed.. vehicles floating
