Journey by Sachie Tennakoon

Many people love the beach for many different reasons. Some love the calmness and the roughness of the edgy waves crashing on in to the shore of the beautiful white sand. Its like a white and black thing, they are such opposites that actually work together. Some love the happiness and the joy that mere salt water can bring just by being "salt water". Some just love being able to stare far ahead and get lost in their own Pensieve. Let me telll you why I love the beach ISSO WADE Umm yea try translating that to English right? I used my balls and gave it a shot- Shrimp Chips (not bad eh?) Forget the name and let me tell you why this is better that your first honeymoon. The moment you bite in to it you will feel that crusty chips breaking in to your mouth, with raw onions and the sour fried shrimp. While that's melting in your mouth there will be an injection of the sweet carrots and the spicy green chilli that will tickle your tongue just enough for some chills to

Comfort is a strange thing. Its a feeling of being able to not think at all, and just stare in to nothingness and still be completely sober. Its not about being with the love of your life, or being on your favorite mattress. Its about that moment in life, where u just stop. just stop to not think, not plan, not talk... u just stop. I recently found out that comforting moments are truly found in the most strangest things. There's a cat key holder on top of my table. And its been there since the dawn of the new age, but I find my self the most calm, when I am staring away in to the dirty notice board pin eyes of the cat. The world stops, the phone stops, the emails stop, callings for dinner stops.. everything just stops. I truly believe that comfort is not something you can find when you feel like having it. It comes when you least expect it, when you least need it. It could be in the soap bubbles you find in the shower before you get to work, it could be on the back of a motorc

So I know its a bit late for the new year post as it is almost the end of February! But hey better late than never. Firstly I want to wish all of you a very happy 2012 and may this year be everything you wish for and more! Every one has been wanting to know so what are my plans for this year. Let see if I can list some here, just the PG-13 ones. 1. Work and work 2. Stay away from trouble- Last year ended with so many shitty issues on a monthly basis,  but lets hope that this year would be better. It will probably be a hard thing to do considering the tendency of my attraction to trouble. 3. More chill with friends: Ok this is really not happening as much as I would like it to. I have been lacking time to spend with my friends here, and in WI. But not to worry the year is only begining :) 4. No gross finger nails: Last year i realized I dont really know how to properly do my nails. Should get this fixed. 5. KEEP THE BLOG RUNNING: I know really bad at that. 6. Visit WI bef

Yes I know I know. My posts are scarce as a hen's teeth but don't worry I will try to write as much as I possibly can. I am still trying to find this work life balance thing that everyone is talking about. But not to worry, it will come with time. Its been more than a month since I have stepped in to the world of suit pants and long hours. I have learnt a few tit bits that I thought could be used by most of us with .. basically a life. 1. Everyone says it but, mate could not say it enough- Make MISTAKES! I made one crucial error first two weeks in to the job (yes worse than poop) but hey now I wont do it again. This is the only way to truly learn. 2. Work with friends not with co-workers- Its tough I know and sometimes you have to draw the line. But its much more easier to ask a favor from a friend than a duty from a co-worker. 3. Ask questions, questions and more questions! - Its ok to be a pain in the royal buttocks! 4. You will be dead weight till your team can le

Recently my friends and I went to watch one of the most thought provoking movies of this year named Zindagi Na Milengi Dobra. It may or may not have been a good movie ( I am kind of on the fence about it) but it definitely made you walk out of the movie theater with a new out look on life (or at least a thought!) So here are some thoughts that came across my mind that made me think twice about, that night in bed. I turn back and look at my life, and sometimes wonder about all the little things that made me sad. All the fights, the arguments, the exams that failed, the times I made the wrong choices, the relationships that failed, the fights I gave up, the times I didn't speak up, the wrong times I did speak up.. all that just rushes in to my mind like my fathers maniac driving during the morning rush hour.  But all those nights that I cried in bed, all those depressing feelings, seemed justifiable at that moment. But now I seem to have started a collection of those bad thoug

I recently went on a family reunion vacation trip to the hill country of Sri Lanka. As my father and I love to travel, we have been to these places millions of times. But this time I saw Sri Lanka like I have never seen before. Maybe or probably because I have been away for sometime. But I saw the most beautiful scenearies to fill my eyes, and the best Ceylon tea to satisfy my taste buds. The rich culture and religion of Nuwara Eliya was very soothing to see. I wish I had taken more pictures of the British influenced architecture but maybe its best I didn't. So that I have an excuse to make another trip to that beautiful paradise. Here are some  breathtaking pictures from my beautiful country. Location - Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka All unedited images.Copyrights reserved.

I know I know... I haven't written anything since MARCH! Guilty as charged! But I have good reasons as to why. I know that you dont really care about my personal life, but I am going to tell you anyway. I graduated, moved half way across the world back to my home country, and now just accepted a new offer at my dream company. Sounds like a fairy tale? Let me tell you it was the poopiest ride I have ever taken in my entire life. But during the ride it gave me an opportunity learn some valuable lessons that I thought I should share here. 1. Making a choice is hard. If it is hard enough to a point where you are up until 3 am in the morning trying to decide, there probably isn't a better choice. Just make decision and make it work. 2. Dreaming big is easy. Making those dreams come true means that you need to step outside of your comfort zone and take a risk. Not the easiest thing to do. 3. Always know that what ever you do there will always be an entourage of friends and fami
