Anonymous-8

Hmm.. this is going to be the last anonymous post for this year.. After a long time I'm going to write about someone.. It's coz actually I'm an introvert..It takes me time to reach people and understand them..Anyways without saying anything more about myself, let me introduce the last anonymous for the year 2016. Well, I know he reads my blog posts.. So yeah..it's you..

Organic chemistry-Cheat sheet for stereochemistry

If you are a student studying organic chemistry, then you must know stereo-chemistry. For many people it's very difficult to understand. Usually what they expect you to do is to recognize two given molecules, whether they are the same molecule, enantiomers or diastereomers. There is a short cut..

Bullying in universities aka ragging...

Well this is not something I personally like to speak about, but something made me interested in this topic,which will be in the below image. I was shocked to see that.

Buckpassers..

It's the exam season and people are busy studying including myself,but some situations made me write this post..It's like my head is going to explode with these ideas so I want to spill them out,by the way this is my blog,so I can say anything I want to..right? So if you think I'm wrong feel free to comment below. So lets get started..!!

Wisdom through humanity- UN Volunteers UOC...

Well I joined to CUV FOS..It's a new concept and a sort of an organization ...not per faculty..but a one organization for the whole campus..it's kinda cool isn't it? With 100 cool people from 1st and 2nd years of all the faculties including UCSC,IIM and Sripalee. A one big family who are willing to make others feel happy and be happy through that.United Nations and the student counselors will be guiding of course..Basically knowledge based volunteerism is the main idea behind this, but we will be helping others in anywhere where they need a helping hand.. I'm kind of excited since this is a once in a life time opportunity to join United Nations and work with them..(I always dreamed of something like this. It's like finally I have started feeling like I have grown up and big enough to serve community from what I have learned so far) So stay in touch and I'll keep you posted.... :)

Exams !!!

Well, I couldn't post something new for a long time..I'll be having the 2nd semester exams in next month,so I thought of sharing some of my thoughts and helpful hints about university exams and grades...

If super-speed becomes real..

We have seen many super heros with many abilities... among those, super speed is what I'm interested in. Super speed is the ability to travel (run or fly or whatever) in an unimaginable speed, usually thousands of miles per hour.  What actually will happen if you can travel with this speed?

Colombo international book fair-2016

So this is my 12th time visiting the Colombo international book fair.If you can remember last year also I posted about this..So this won't be a long post..Usually it't not crowded on the first day..but since today is a holiday there were so many people..and you know what...this time it's FREE for university students.. I will add few photos of the ground plan of the book fair,so that if you are planning to visit the book fair it will help you.. :)

365 nights..

So,365 nights has passed since the day I started this blog. Yessss...!! It's the one year anniversary of this blog. Some people like it,some people hate it..that's the human nature. I shared my life with many people through this blog and I'm feeling so happy about it. Sharing is good always ha? And especially when you are in trouble it's good to know that there are people with you no matter what happens. So a big thank to all of you guys for staying with me for an year..And I will keep you updated about so much more things through out this year too. So stay with me.. and be my strength..!! :) Have a nice day..!!

The singing pond..

So after a long break I'm posting something new today.. it's something i wanted to tell you from the beginning of the new semester..but i'm lucky that i had to postpone it coz today i got tons of ideas to add to this post. I just finished watching a movie..that's what gave me something new to think about. So this movie was quite a famous one in sri lanka but i couldn't watch it. It's name is "ho gana pokuna" (the singing pond). So for the people who don't know the story i'll give a brief idea.  A new teacher comes to a school which is situated in an extremely rural area in sri lanka. There are only 18 children in this school (usually schools in sri lanka have thousands per school. For an example there were about 5000 students in my school)Since there village is in the up country they have never seen the sea. So this movie is all about their trip to see the sea. What i realized from this movie is that i'm such a lucky person

The Master I know...

Well I'm sure most of you know him..I'm not going to talk about his dedication towards music industry or anything related to his career. Since you can even find them on Wikipedia I shouldn't repeat it here.. I'm not going to talk about a musician here, I'm going to talk about my beloved"කොළඹ සීයා". That's how I used to call him. Since he lived in Colombo I used to call him කොළඹ සීයා.Until I grow up I didn't know he was a famous person or at least a musician.As a kid I loved visiting him,coz every time I went there he had tons of stories for us.. He was an animal lover. He had a lovely dog named "Ringa"and he loved him alot. One day when I went to see my grandpa Ringa was not to be seen. When I asked him where is he, he answered with teary eyes that he died from a cancer. He did a lot to save him just like I tried to save my Apsara but finally he was gone forever.

Salmon patty recipe..

If you were with me from the beginning then you'd know that I post a recipe at least one per month. Sorry that I couldn't post a one for a long time. Today I'm going to introduce you Salmon patties.. It's very easy to make and also very tasty. You will only need four ingredients. Lets see what they are first.

Posting about your relationship on social media

We all have that friend who keeps updating about his/her relationship on social media. His/her FB wall is filled up with lovey dovey posts, couple selfies, and so many things about his/her relationship. They start it with a "in a relationship with..."post and then from there, you'll see tons of couple pics, and love quotes. Now what do they expect from that? Using one another to prove the world that they are happy and lovable. Did you know that the best sign of a healthy relationship is no sign of it on social media at all?

Tips for trips..

This is August, the month which most peoples are going on trips !!!  I'm also planning on going a trip and will keep you updated about it within next week :). So today I'm going to give you some tips on things you have to keep in mind before going on a trip.

I love you...

"love is like wind, you can't see it but you can feel it." - Nicolas Sparks It feels great when you love someone ane that someone loves you back. I'm sure that all of us have lost someone or something in our lives and it sure is painful. Especially if it's someone it hurts more. Today I'm going to talk about the one I love most..actually it should be the one I loved coz that one is not with me anymore.. She said good bye to me forever on 14th June. It was unexpected. I was coming home from uni and my mom first asked me how was my exam and then she gave me the bad news.

Perfumes

All of us use perfumes, right? My fav is Yardley and yours maybe something else. However everyone uses perfumes to keep a sweet smell around them all the day, but actually what do you know about perfumes? Besides that it contains alcohol and some chemicals which will make it smell nice? There are so many things you should know about perfumes.. So lets figure out what you know and don't know.

Anonymous - 7

So, among all the numbers 7 is somewhat special than the others. Number 7 is the number of perfection, security, safety and rest . The person I'm going to talk about, is also like that. I always felt safe when she was around me. I first met her 4 years ago,actually it was not the first time I met her,but officially that was the first time. She came late to the class and she had to sit next to me and after our first conversation the image I had in my mind about you was something like this..

Mon école

Now I'm sure most of you are wondering what is that. Mon école is my school in French. I'm not going to write an essay about my school saying like my school is this.. it was built in this year by this person etc.. I'm going to tell you how I saw it for the first time as a 11 years old kid and now how I see it as a 21 years old person... So yeah.. I stepped in to that school 10 years ago. Even though I'm studying in university now, I still wish if I could spend some more years at school.... It is a lot more different than you could ever imagine. Well you can say.. what is so special about it? It's also just another school..But trust me, you have to study here to understand what's so special about this school.

End semester exams...

Hmmm.... These days people in my university are so busy coz the end semester exams are in next month.. They are looking for notebooks, papers and so many other stuff.. It seems to me that most people are stressed. There might be some lucky individuals who may get stimulated coz of stress, but most people are worse than how they normally are, when stressed. So what I think is that getting tensed is not what is required at the moment.

Necessity

So this is May, the month most Sri Lankans celebrate vesak which is the most important festival for Buddhists. It marks the birth, enlightenment and passing away to Nirvana of the lord Buddha. Vesak is a cultural and a religious festival which is celebrated in the full moon day in May. So people make vesak lanterns and so many other things to celebrate vesak. There is a concept very special than vesak lanterns. It was introduced thousands of years ago. Even in the time of lord Buddha this was used according to books. It is, giving food and other things for free. In early times people who were very rich and also kings made places where poor people can have food for free. They did that as a social service. So in vesak season people collect money and give things for free, mostly it is food. Rice, bread, noodles etc are given free for anyone. So people wait for hours inques and eat.

Bus conductor's change and father's love...

Now you might wonder what kind of a topic is that ? Today morning I was in a statistics lecture and suddenly the lecturer mentioned this. "Father's love is like a bus conductor's change rupee (Sri Lankan rupee is the currency in my country) ". He said he saw it in a taxi. So he asked about our ideas on this topic. Some people answered the question (like fathers do not show their love) and I thought about it while travelling to home and here is what I think about it.

Why do we fall asleep when studying?

First semester is coming to an end and all are getting ready for the end semester exams. So I thought of something which will be useful for most of us.. Now all are studying and one of the most common problems we have is falling asleep while studying . Actually why do we fall asleep when we study? Sometime we wait in bed for hours till we fall asleep but when going to study, we fall asleep within minutes. So why is this happening? Here is the answer..

Ruvi - Who is Ruvi?

Title of this blog is Ruvi's thoughts . So definitely you know that it's me . In my last few posts I introduced the people around me, people who are very close to me and today I'm going to tell you something about me.. If you are a daily reader of this blog then you may know something about me already.. In my last post I told you about how I spent my life before entering to a university and how the university changed me. My blog doesn't consist of an author profile.. So for the people who are curious to know who is this Ruvi I'm going to introduce myself today..

Change...

    " To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often"                                                                                                                                                      -Winston Churchill- Recently my mom is complaining a lot that I have changed.. So I thought for a while.. and I have to admit that she is correct. So behind this change there is a reason.. My university . I have changed in a better way as I feel.. I was a little girl who was fascinated by the beauty of the stars and the secrets hidden in the universe. I was into astronomy and history when I was a kid. Being an aero scientist was my dream and for that I worked hard. Each and every night I dreamed of my future as a scientist.. my house will be like this, my car will be like that.. I will buy clothes like this.... I finished reading each and every book in the library in our area when I was in grade 2. I couldn't see anything other than gathering

Sorry for making you wait for nearly a week.It was a very busy week for me that's why I was unable to post anything..So now most of you know who are previous anonymous people and all of them were boys.So today I'm going to write about a girl.And again and again I'm mentioning that all these people gave me permission to write anything about them.

Truth...

I'm sure each and everyone of us have lied at least once in our lifetime...Maybe its coz we didn't have any other choice than lying or maybe coz it's a habit to lie. I have lied when I was a kid. But not anymore.. Now I'm an honest person and what I think is, it is better to die rather than lying.. and I consider lying as a huge crime a person can do... And I get so angry when someone is lying...

Happy birthday..!!

My birthday was on last Sunday.. As I don't have any more people to write about yet , I decided to tell you how some of my university friends made my birthday a special one.. First of all lets see what exactly a birthday is.. According to the oxford dictionary a birthday is ''the anniversary of the day on which a person was born, typically treated as an occasion for celebration and the giving of gifts". But the thing is I've never had a birthday party and usually I forget my own birthday.. Every year it's like someone send me a happy birthday text and I wonder oh it's my birthday today.. I don't worry about my birthday so the others also do the same. Actually a birthday means I'm getting old by an year.. So in my opinion there is nothing to celebrate in that..

Hehe,this is the 4th post in this series.. Most of you are waiting for a new post,aren't you?So this is the 4th anonymous person..Lets see how many of you will identify this one. I met you during the language classes in the university.. First we thought you must be a senior coz of your appearance.And you always came late,when you were entering to the class we were like "ohh stop talking here he comes..he'll tell what we are talking to our seniors" (LOL).. After a week you came to our class wearing THE OFFICE KIT (But again a mistake..you were wearing a short sleeved shirt bro..)..Most of us burst out laughing..  We were afraid of you for no reason..After all you were just a batchmate who was brave enough to violate rules and regulations.. lol.

After a successful 2nd post, here I am writing about another person. So lets see who is this 3rd anonymous person. I met this person for the first time in a bus.He/She was travelling with another student in our university who is looking exactly like him/her.After that I met him/her in blue side.. But it was just a hi and a bye until that twin friend of yours became a friend of mine.. Can you remember the first message I sent you was "Hey..you are that twin of _______ "So now I think you know it's you I'm going to talk to.. So now let me say something to you..

Hey, sorry about what happened to the previous post in this series. Unfortunately the anonymous person was revealed so I had to remove the post. And thanks for your positive and negative ideas. I have to say something first.. I never meant to insult anyone and that is why I write in a manner that nobody can identify the anonymous person. I was going to stop this series after what happened last night,but this particular person encouraged me to write more..and asked me to write about him. That is the reason behind this post... So now lets start this..

Anonymous - 1

So as I mentioned in my previous post this will be the new series of posts about people I got to know within this few months.Without waiting any more lets see who is going to be the 1st (un) lucky person...

A new chapter in my life..

As I mentioned in my previous posts I'm a university student now.. The experience was like entering in to a new world..an entirely different world than the one I used to live... A one huge family.. Everyone are like brothers and sisters.. most are better than my own.. It took me some time to get used to it. But after some time it started feeling like home. The smiles of familiar faces every morning, the warmth of their protection made me feel comfortable day by day...So now I'm enjoying my university life instead of suffering. Within this year I made new friends, lost some of my friends and so many things happened to me.. So I am planning to write a series of posts about different characters I met in this year and about the people I lost.. This is a short notice to let you know what is in my mind these days..SO stay tuned... for a new beginning and a new experience..(If someone from my university reading this, there is a possibility that I WILL WRITE ABOUT YOU TOO)   :)

Improve your english..

So this is the season of university freshman .Most are worrying about the their English knowledge coz each and every lecture will be in English.First of all I have to say that I'm not from an English speaking country..So I'm going to give some tips based on my experiences.I started learning English a long time ago,but started learning it properly since 2006.

Think before you speak...

First I should apologize from you because I couldn't post anything new for past few days..Today I'm going to talk about something happened to everyone including me.I'm sure you have gone through bitter situations maybe coz of what you said or  what another one said.So I'm going to tell you about such a situation I went through about 2 years ago.

Brain fatigue..

Hmm..So after a long time I'm going to publish a new post,and I'm sorry for the delay..I wish to write a post in future about what happened to me during these 2 months...So today I'm going to write about brain fatigue which I'm suffering from right now and I thought writing about it'll be important coz many people don't know what it is exactly. So if you are feeling like drained,exhausted or burned out it is a sign of brain fatigue and maybe you are suffering from it.Not being able to keep things in memory and not being able to concentrate on things is also a sign of brain fatigue.

Happily ever after...

Every fairy tale ends with this line "and then they lived happily ever after"... But Are you living happily ever after?I'm not..I think this is the worst month I've ever had and that is also the same reason behind this I'm not being able to post everyday.My life is so miserable these days and it's like I'm going to crack soon...Once the pressure is too high,for an extent I won't be able to bear,I will crack,end up as a lunatic or maybe even die.Those are the possibilities I can see.And there's one more thing.Living the moment..That's what I have been doing so far.There will be a day I won't be able to continue this and that will be the end. There is a famous saying in Zen Buddhism “Have good trust in yourself … not in the One that you think you should be, but in the One that you are.”  That is a good advice for someone in a same situation like me.Have faith that everything will be all right soon and live on that belief..

A quotable quote..

This will be a really short post..This is a quote I found while I was going through a pile of magazines.What Tom Clancy says is exactly correct.If we write most of the things happen to us in our day to day lives as a novel or something it won't make sense at all.Sometimes our luck is so hard to believe..Sometimes we meet people with weird behaviours which are hard to believe.Our whole lives are dramas sometimes..So IF I write a book about my life oneday,someone will read it and think that I'm insane...! However I wrote some of my experiences in this blog and Yes! some of them are so hard to believe..If my life is an ocean then here are some drops of it... Naked,with black socks By the skin of my teeth Close call !!  

Ki Cho ll Bu...

Now you maybe wondering what the hell is that...It is one of the basic patterns in taekwondo,the world famous Korean martial art.So,yeah..I'm learning it these days,online..If you are a daily reader of this blog then you may know that I do a lot of online learning and this is the newest step,learning martial arts via internet..So far it's going good and I will let you know what happened,in future..

A good recipe to prevent diabetes- Bitter gourd sambol

Bitter gourd has a special property that can reduce the blood sugar levels.So my granny always eats bitter gourd before her blood sugar test and satisfies herself when the results are good.(LOL)..Many people do not like to eat bitter gourd coz of its bitterness.But this is a very tasty one and I can assure you that..

By the skin of my teeth..

A time I narrowly avoided a disaster..This is also one of my golden era experiences (to read more of those posts click HERE ) In grade 12 we were supposed to do a group project and ours was to help a sick girl in the class next to us.She had a problem in her both kidneys.So our plan was to sell stickers,collect money and give it to her parents to use for her hospital fees.

Whoa!

 I went to Kandy yesterday,the last kingdom in Sri Lanka and also the place where tooth relic is kept.(I'll tell you more about temple of tooth in a future post).And I met the person I respect and love most , while I was in the temple of tooth.I just couldn't believe my luck!! I saw him only from TVs and other electrical media only.He is not an actor or a singer.Then who is he??

Stay connected!!

"Another year over,a new one has begun"  I'm sure you are familiar with this line.It's from Happy Christmas by Celine Dion.So I'm going to write a flashback today..Not about the year 2015.About my blog... I started this blog in 2015 September.It was only coz I wanted a to communicate with the world,to share my ideas..Not to earn money like many other bloggers.So this is my space in internet,where I share my knowledge and ideas.Most of you liked it and it kept me happy for days.Every single pageview,a share on facebook,g plus,comment encouraged me to write more and more and I'm very thankful to you,my readers..Most of you visited my blog daily to see what's new.I'm sorry for disappointing you in December.But it won't happen again. I'll tell you some facts that you don't know about my blog.These are the countries with highest pageviews. 1 -USA 2 -Sri Lanka 3 -India 4 -UK 5 -Indonesia 6 -South Korea 7 -Serbia 8 -Croatia 9 -Fran

New year!!!

So today is the 1st day of 2016.I'm really sorry for not posting anything for few days.I will do my best to post a new thing everyday from today.This will be a short post to share some of my thoughts about new year.Many people spend 100s of bucks to celebrate new year.People buy new clothes,paint their houses,buy new home appliances etc.Countries and cities spend money on decorating...For me today is just another day in my life,not a special day.Hundreds of people are suffering from poverty,hunger,thirst and many other problems.So why spend millions of money to celebrate just another day?When I see these things it makes me laugh and sad in the same moment.It makes me laugh coz people are acting weird coz of a natural incident...When it's 12 o'clock they celebrate it,on the other hand in the same moment others die of hunger and poverty..So just spend a minute to think about it... Similar posts.. Think global act local..
