Look Back

Almost 2 years with PPD has gone. But what we gathered with those sessions was invaluable. We had fun always and it was great support to our personal improvement. I can still remember how we had started our PPD session when we came to University. We had an introductory session where we got to know each other and something interesting about our batch mates. All the sessions was really good and they were arranged well as we never feel any boring. We had some sessions in the ground too. Blind squad, Blind Submarine those games are really unforgettable. I'm getting this opportunity to thank Ms. Sarasi to being with us till the end of this PPD journey. And also Upamali Madam and other mentors who joined for our PPD session. If they were not with us those sessions will not be successful.

When time comes to dedicate our valuable things in our life it is nothing more than we could ever do. Even I missed that experience there is something to be happy. For my beginning I'd like to say that unfortunately I have missed a valuable experience which was given to our batch and junior batch because of my private issue. But what I have heard from them where really interesting. What they did there and what kind of experience they could gather. So let write to about outbound training and it's over role value.

Basic Dinning Etiquette

Image
Dining etiquette and general manners are like rules in a game. Think about a game you play; what would happen if there were no rules? The rules of a game are valuable because they help everyone to have fun and keep people from feeling that they are being treated unfairly. Manners rules serve the same function: they help people get along. Formal Table Setting  General Dinning and Social Etiquette Serving food: Food is served from the left. Dishes are removed from the right.  Always say please when asking for something. At a restaurant, be sure to say thank you to your server and bus boy after they have removed any used items.  Butter, spreads, or dips should be transferred from the serving dish to your plate before spreading or eating.  Passing dishes or food: Pass food from the left to the right.

Art of Living

Life is a characteristic distinguishing physical entities having biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate. Luckily we got human life rather than being a animal. As the science, human beings are the most intelligent creature in this planet. But when we some acts of humans we can't really believe that humans are intelligent that much as science says. The problem is not the really behind that. People don't understand the purpose of life and why they came here and what happen to them last. There are three main purposes of life. Happiness Happiness is a state of well-being that encompasses living a good life—that is, with a sense of meaning and deep satisfaction. Success Success can mean: feeling that tingle of excitement about what you do, sticking with what matters through hard times, living a...

Beauty of UoK

University of Kelaniya is one of best and oldest university in Sri Lanka with proud history. The university is consisting many facilities with good quality. But I believe there is a beauty beyond all the facilities and university standards. That beauty comes from every where in the country with different talents and skills. The beauty belongs to the students who come to the university. History of the University The University of Kelaniya has its origin in the historic Vidyalankara Pirivena, founded in 1875 by Ratmalane Sri Dharmaloka Thera as a centre of learning for Buddhist monks. With the establishment of modern universities in Sri Lanka in the 1940s and 1950s, the Vidyalankara Pirivena became the Vidyalankara University in 1959, later the Vidyalankara Campus of the University of Ceylon in 1972, and, ultimately, the University of Kelaniya in 1978. The University of Kelaniya has pioneered a number of new developments in higher education. It was one of the...

Pen and Thread Game

Image
Activity          After finishing the expert game we were divided into 3 groups again for pen and thread game. Then we have given 4 pieces of threads, paper, tapes and scissor. We were asked to write the word "Symbol" without touching the pen and the paper. Threads were given to handle the pen and all members should hold one thread. We came up with very easy strategy to cover whole the pen with threads like a mummy. Then without touching the pen we could easily write the word. According to instructions that was not allowed and we have to write using threads.         Then we use two threads to control the top and bottom of the pen. Then pen could be controlled easily. It touched the paper and moved very well. But couldn't write any thing. Then we thought there was a wrong with the ink refill and changed it. But it didn't work. We understood that since pen was a ballpoint pen, it needed some pressure to the ballpoint. Then we used an...
