do your job well as much as you can

Ahhhhh..Its end of a tough week. I was really busy with work and had to work till late night for couple of days even after go home. But I should say that I was enjoying my work since Im getting some quality results out of all the hard work. I mange to close two big deals. Its not a easy task to close deal in my industry(im into software). It always take a long pre-sales cycle and things are always tough. Clients are always trying to sqeeze the vendor as much as they can. Some times they draging things and wasting hell of a lot time on things which are not very important. They love to talk about which are not relavent to busienss. Most of the companies having some bad experience with some other vendor and we have to pay for some others sins.

Any way we have to manage all these situations and make things happen. I never scard for these thigns since Im confidne tabout the solutions which Im offering to my clients. I always trying to stick to my theory as "You do your job well as much as you can then you will get the results".

morning walk

I was talking to my next door neighbour and he was telling that I should do some exercises. He is attached Sri Lanka Cricket Academy as a coach (he is a former SL cricketer as well) he know lot about the subject.

This is something I also want to do for long time and start but never continue it due to many reasons and finally I was doing nothing and Im kind a slightly over weight. AH, my neighbour views and advices make sense and he asked me to start walking since its the best thing for me.

Today I wake up around 5.30.am and start my morning walk. It was really good for some time then it starts giving problems such as aches in different parts of the body. Specially my left leg. But I manage to walk quite a descent distance for about 45 minutes. I was suppose to walk to hour but I reduce it to 45mins bcos of this leg pain. Ah, It was really good and Im going to continue this for sure.

thanks to nature for not repeating 26 dec 2004

It was just 6pm (yesterday) and I was on my way to home after work. I receive this call from one of my friends telling that Disaster Management Center has issued a Tsunami warning after earthquake in Sumatra. I was shocked. Next minute I was calling to my father, sisiters, mother in law, father in law, friends etc etc who are living in Matara (my home town) but I didn't able to reach any one due to heavy traffic in phone lines. I wanted to inform all the people there since we badly hit by boxing day Tsunami in 2004 and I lost my loving mother too. I didn't want to see something smiler again. It was a really really bad experience. Damn it, all the bloody phone lines were not working and I couldn't send a SMS even. All the TV channel were talking about the earthquake and they were telling that people are removed from the coastal belt. It was the only relief I had. Danger was there till 8.30.pm and It was really hard time for both myself and my wife.

Thanks to nature, it didn't make a Tidal Wave and thing were calm and quite after all. But the time I spent till 8.30.pm was a really hard time. I was really worried about loved once, specially my father who is living in Matara. Five of my family members face to 2004 Tsunami & four of them manage to escape from it after fighting with death. But I lost my mother. It change my life in big way. I saw how people suffer from it. I saw the way people dying and how they fight to save their life. One small kid die on my hands. I can keep on writing about things like these. But I don't want to think about it. It was that hard and Its still really hard to think about those.

Any way things were not that bad this time. I hope & wish not to repeat it for ever. I don't want to see another Tsunami.

im a big big boy

Today is my B'Day. Im going to be 27 :) and getting older. I never feel that Im getting older before but now I feel it in different way. Im not a kid any more (its same for last so many years also). Im getting into the time which I need to be more responsible and do more things for my future than I did in the past.

B'day is a good time to evaluate yourself. This is my turn to do so. Honestly Im happy about the way I spent all this time. I had nice childhood with lots of sweet memories. I can still remember the time I spent with my mother as a kid. The way she sign songs for me. (I really miss her). My school time was wonder full, specially as a teenager with my all great friends (most are still with me). Then I met my love when I was 15. Now Im happily married to her. I started my career when I was 20 and now Im sitting here after 7 years as a Business Development Manager.

Im so happy almost about every thing other than my mothers sudden death. I really really miss her and this is the only thing I need to change, if I can change.

The best thing I achieve for last 27 years is my love, my wife. I met her when I was 15 and I married her 2 years back. The worst thing in my life is my mothers death. I still can't make my mind since It was something we never expect at that time.

I know she is wishing me from the heaven and always looking at me.
