Betrayal…

Imagine Cup 2007 - Sri Lanka was held in Galadari Hotel, Colombo on 18th June 2007. And few of my friends along with team from our institute went to this event. And from everything they said in the following morning I gathered that they have witnessed and experienced an event with great new innovative ideas, young enthusiastic people, spirit of the youth, what exactly the
commercial world look for in a product, irony, sarcasm, challenge, final decisions and most of all betrayal from the people we trusted.

First of all I will salute the youth who came up with their OWN great new innovative ideas. No matter who won the competition I think that everyone who was there is a winner as long as they
came up with their OWN new idea and implement that effectively. Only because they have given the society the chance of a solution for a problem in a new way. So well done for everyone who was honest with them selves.

Now comes the betrayal part..
I know that my friends had the shock of their lives that evening, and so did I, when I heard it in the next morning. When we first got know about the Imagine Cup competition, we too had planned form up a team of our own. We worked hard towards it with amazingly new and great idea which one of my friends had. she gave strength to that idea by adding parts to it day after day, night after night. And we all made it stronger with our knowledge. And finally we came up
with a great proposal. But unfortunately for us, it was very hard for us to set our mind and strength to a powerful idea like that, with lack of time, with serving the working community every week day and sometimes even Saturdays and with our studies. Eventually we gave up the opportunity we had because we wanted our idea to have the depth it deserves when it comes alive, not just rushed work.

But alas..
At that evening my friends witnessed that our proposal had being given away to another group
without our knowledge at all. They even got a place in the competition. My friends saw how badly that the other team had tried to implement our proposal. It was a tragedy. But I say the
blame does not go to this other team, but to who ever the person that gave our proposal away.
Apart from the people who worked for this idea, it was know only to people whom we had lot of
trust, people whom we thought we can count on. But our trust is paid off like this. And I say this is Intellectual Property stealing. The thing is, it would have not being mattered this much if, who ever the person who gave this away, inform us before giving it to some other person. We wouldn't have said no. At least it could have save the pain which caused to us. And I think, who ever the person who gave this away at least should do us the courtesy of apologizing from us for what he/she has done.

And I wish, may the strength be with us to face the challenges like this which come across in our path...

Paradise of love...

When you cross the bridge to the paradise of love,
And when you walk through that beautiful gate,
You'll be enchanted by the beauty you see,
You'll be captured with a glow of your passion,
And all your dreams will be bound with love,
And all your feelings would be uncontrollable.

And when you cross the bridge to the paradise of love,
And when you walk through that beautiful gate,
You'll walk through beautiful paths with hand to hand,
You'll feel the warmth rising through your nerves,
And you'll give anything to feel that warmth,
And you'll be haunted by the memories of every moment.

And when you cross the bridge to the paradise of love,
And when you walk through that beautiful gate,
You'll see that there are prickles on the stem of red rose,
You'll face with huge mountains in the beautiful path you took,
And you'll see the beauty of rose without wounding your fingers,
only if you are protected by your love.
And you'll get to the mountain top,
only if you walk with hand to hand, with courage and love.

And when you cross the bridge to the paradise of love,
And when you walk through that beautiful gate...

Thoughts within Me...

Hmmm.... I'm idle after a long time during the working hours. And going on a rat race for past
few months when it comes to work.. it feels odd to have a break. So to get rid of that oddness I thought to write some of the thoughts pops in to me head.

Clear Mind - It's essential to have a clear mind when you are doing something. It adds lots of energy to you and you'll be able to put your self into what you are doing. And I say it's essential to have a clear mind even when you are doing nothing, or your idle time would be a real mess.

Blog posts - I don't know why, but I always find it very difficult to read very long blog posts. Or the posts which states the same point in hundred different ways. My personal feeling is that blog posts should be short, precise, attractive and in day to day language(It should not contain technical terms unless it is necessary or unless the blog is about some specific field.). Even, I may not full fill these points in my posts, but I do can say that I try to.

Sleep - Can't live without it. Everyone need to sleep few hours a day. It gives our body freshness and a break and keep us healthy. But sleeping more than you need.. is not a good a thing either.

Books - I love books. Either it's about a specific subject or a romantic classic, it always teaches you something. I believe reading books is a less cost way of traveling around the world. You'll experience a world within your fingertips.
