Weekend in Sri Lanka !

Having visited Sri Lanka five years ago.I was familiar with the city.

And the excitement of working on Project for a Destination that I would be visting again after a five years was on another level.

I did not know what to expect in the five years that had gone by .And after travelling extensively to all Major countries in the World. I really had no Idea what to expect from the country,Once I visit it again.

A Couple of weeks later,We were considering going for a Recce to Sri Lanka to finalise the venues & Hotel with the client.

We Landed in Sri lanka and the complete Journey was a revelation of how much the country had developed in terms of it’s infrastrcture expressways throughout Galle,Colombo to cities around sri lanka last time there were no such Roads like these.

Galle Fort was very much the same with quite a few restaurants newly opened and stores like Barefoot still being one of the stores to visit in Galle.

The Cricket Stadium being in the city and connecting the fort is something that most unusal about the City.

Visited some New places around Galle.

Mirissa – which is popular for the whale watching experience & Weligama where so many hotels chains have opened and are opening for the breathtaking view of the blue waters from the rooftop terraces.

Colombo felt like the city that has developed so much with real estate investments from around the world & within the country.So Many Hotels chains to have opened while some had gone through the reovations to still be considred as one of the hotel options to stay & experience their hospitality while others want the tourist & locals to experience thiers.

Ministry of Crab – The only Resturant in Sri lanka to be part of the Asia’s 50 Best Resturant 2017 And to have Sri Lanka on the World Map for it’s Food.. And the Man behind is the celebratory Chef Dharshan Mundaisa- Is behind the fame Resturant (Nihonbashi)

Ministry of Crab is in with Partnership with Sri lankan cricketers Mahela Jawardene & Kumar Sangakkara.

I also had the opporunity to meet Mahela Jawardene at the Ministry of crab when we visited the restaurant during our visit.

Dharshan Mundaisa has also partnered with Jacquline ferandez for Keamesutra another restaurant that specialises in Japanese Food at the Shangri-la Colombo.

Dutch Hospital Street is the most lively street to be on weekend with live music performances,Bars and a resturants to choose from.

Sri lanka has more to offer than just Cinamon & Tea.

It’s the Goa of Sri Lanka .

Time Please !!

Time-Why should one use it effectively? And why should we keep a watch on the time?

And what is time exactly?

Time is just a way of keeping a tab! On how long you should take to complete the task! And how long you took to finally complete it

Time let’s you realise what’s your priority and how you must start your day .

If,Time isnt there.We wouldn’t be able to do one thing right and won’t be interested in giving  100 % to do things.

Time is the only non-renewal source.It doesn’t come back!

The same time can appear twice in a day! But,The time wouldn’t still remain the same.

We all are passing our time and believe,We are being productive,Using our  time well and making a difference in our life as well as others.

But,Isn’t time only part of the “Time Pass Theory”? 

Think about it ?

Why do we do anything at all and not do nothing at all ?

We are all tied down to the “ life cycle “

We are given Birth – to be part of the world.

We then go to school- study what we like our to study something’s that we are forced to like.

We go to college –Here 75% study the opposite of what they want to study.

Life begins- And sometimes we aren’t all that good to handle it.The other interest,That keeps us going with our life is questioned about ever now & then.

And then we are only living a life to pass our time.Until we realise we could thos time too.

But,The question remains- why is it important to do anything  all ? To keep our self busy? To be occupied? To be satisfied.

Is it all about being seen?

Filmmaking

 Imagine if actors did all the job from cinematography , their make up  and handling the camera .

If they did all the work ,they would surely not last for more than 5 years ,and could surely not maintain themselves .
so now I come to the main point ,the technical department who do the camera works,sound should be encouraged to take this profession ,by rewarding them with good salary and daily wages its because they aren’t payed well they aren’t able to make their kids educated , also since the technical aspect is also a tiring job and not everybody can do it ,these people should be appreciated once a while and make them feel as much important as actors,director,musicians 
also I am sharing my views on this after I read an article today in the newspaper where the generous king khan ,met a wife of a camera man and when she spoke ,and told him that there is no finance for her daughter’s education and hence she had to dropout from school …. Are we exploiting are workforce ,by taking advantage of them because of their education qualification ,if so why ,they are people who are working as hard as actor  and what do they get ,they don’t get noticed,appreciated and get low income enough for a meal a day .
does that mean if you aren’t an actor here you aren’t anything .
