Yesterday I had a meeting with a client. I knew this place and I went there some time back also. All the buildings are very old and this is located bit far away from Colombo city too. I was went with a thinking that this is a old passion company. They were using somputers but building is not air-conditioned, furnitures aslo old fashion etc.
I got the appoinment with a director there. When Im going in she was at a meeting. Then she introduce her IT manager and asked to talk to him. That guy also in the same meeting with the director and he wanted me to wait for a while. He took me to his room and asked wether I'd like to have a cup of tea. I never expected this kind of thing from a this old passion company. Any way I said no thanks and asked for a glass fo water. He asked somebody to give me a glass of water and he went for the meeting. Another surpprise for me, a well dressed waitress came and server me a bottle of minaral water. This is some thign you can't expect from a company with this kind of enviornment. After while the director (lady who gave the appoinement) came to me and say sorry for keeping me and told that she have to go out for urgent thing and asked me to breaf her manager. With this I realise that this company had change lot in last few months time.
Some times no body will see any intersting thing here. But if u know the real Sri Lankan situation (specily a company owned by government some time back) you will see why Im putting this here. Most of the companies not treating there visitors in this good way.

After New Year
Im at work after holidays. I was away from office for on week due to New Year holidays. April is the New Year time here in Sri Lanka. This is the main festival for Sri Lankans. It was a great time to celebrate. We (myseld & my wife) were with my father for new year. This is the first New Year which Im celebrating after i got married and the second New Year after my mother's death. It was so hard to get ready for the tings with out my mother. But my wife did a great jon and she manage to all the tings as mother did.
I was thinkng to do lots of work at that time. But didn't able to do any. Any way, we managed to visit lots of relatives. Things were ok and retuen here only on Monday. There are so many things to think after the holidays. I think I need post those as a differnt thing.
