If you are a follower of this blog you already know that I'm currently an undergraduate in the Faculty of science of University of Colombo.. So I'll be starting my junior year in the university in next month and I wanted to share things I wish I knew in my freshman and sophomore years. I can only show you the way and it's your decision to make whether you are going to follow it or not. I'm writing this based on my experiences and things I saw and heard during those 2 years and I hope you won't do the mistakes we did and wish you good luck in following your dreams.. :)

Lately the death (actually a murder) of the famous tusker " Dalaputtuwa" was the hot topic on media.On social media there were two major groups of people arguing about the death on 2 different perspectives. First group was the people who comment about the death ( The killers should be hanged to death ..!!!) while tasting kfc chicken. The second group are vegetarians and people who are constantly  talking about animal rights. Let me remind you first about the country and people who are living here.. Last year the credit card machine of a famous supermarket was not working and there was a man who was blaming the president of the country for it... What can he do about that? People are really stupid and they only see what they have in front of their eyes (Some people don't even see that). Nowadays buying a phone with an internet connection is not a big deal,so every simon and john transforms their thoughts into words and type those on social media. With that it mind lets go

Eiffel tower, the creation of Gustav Eiffel is a cultural icon of France. Almost everyone who goes to France do not forget to take a photograph with the Eiffel tower, but did you know that it is illegal to take photos at night ? Most probably you don't and that why you are reading this post now...

Last time I did a whole article on Biochemistry,but now I'm running out of time. Therefore I will just mention good videos and articles I have gone through so far for EM theory. Feel free to comment if you know some other useful links and I will be updating this post whenever I come across a new one. Thank you..!

Most people think that biochemistry is so hard just by looking at those big scientific words. Even I used to think that it's a really big deal to learn biochem. Actually it's not. It's the most fascinating subject I've ever learned. Biochem is biology + chemistry. And it gave me answers to some of the questions I always had and was not satisfied with the answers given by teachers in my freshman year. Why starch gives a blue colour and also a brown colour with iodine? Many people will talk about complexes etc, but the real reason is something else. Learning biochem is so difficult when you look at it like it's the most difficult thing ever. Just relax and start from the 1st page. When there are terms you don't know surf net and you'll see there are so many videos and articles. Guess what, sometimes they contain some cheats too. I'm still studying it so I will post the useful sites I came across so far and I will update this post from time to time whe

When there’s an exam next week and you need more and more time to study we tend to skip meals which is not good for our health and of course our brain. For our brain to function well   ( and memorize all the things we study) we need nutrition. You can have it as a main meal coz eggs will keep you full. Even though you don’t have an exam you should try this for 2 reasons. 0        01.   This helped me to lose weight 0        02.    Its yummy This is a recipe inspired from scrambled eggs and Korean egg roles. So lets get this done.

The latest news to hit the headlines of major newspapers was about a cannibal couple who practiced cannibalism for 19 years. Cannibalism is defined as a specie consuming all the parts of another individual of the same specie. Cannibalism in humans is not something new. There is evidence that it happened even 600,000 years ago. Even though it never occurred to me, the witch in "Hansel and Gretel" is also a cannibal. So is there really anything we can learn from cannibals? FYI I am not a cannibal...

Time : 5.42pm Date : 31st July 2017 Place: Faculty of science, University of Colombo Enjoying solitude, that's what I was doing until I heard a guitar... Yeah, a guitar... In the heart of the Sci Fac a guitar.. I looked around and  spotted a guy playing a guitar... His eyes were closed as if he's admiring his own play... He was making music... though I didn't know the words of his song, it perfectly matched the environment.. a perfect background music, that's how I felt.. Memories  came flooding back, a flashback of my life.. Then I heard the voice, that voice of the North Korean defector I listened to, in the morning.. " In the rest of the world people are so stressed because they go after materialistic things, Even when I was starving in North Korea I was happy."

It occurred to me today that some people don't know the meaning of their names and they don't think it's something that important to know the meaning of your name. Is that really something useless? We will dig some information today before jumping into conclusions :)

The 4th in popular list is about my phone.( If you still didn't read it click HERE ).. So today I'm gonna introduce you,some cool apps I use always. They will entertain you and also educate you in the same time.

In the act 2 scene 2 of Hamlet, the world famous play from the greatest English writer William Shakespeare has a dialogue like this. Polonius : Do you know me my lord? Hamlet   : Excellent well. You are a fishmonger . Before meeting Hamlet, Polonius met king Claudius and Queen Gertrude to talk about about Hamlet and he was planning on spying on Hamlet using Ophelia,his daughter. Of course Polonius was not a fishmonger , but why did Hamlet used this word? It has two more hidden meanings. In the Elizabethan era fishmonger had the connotation of a one who used women for profit . And fishmongers were from the lower class,they were loud and talkative . It's meaning is that he trades in cheap ways using frivolous words. So who are Facebook fishmongers?

Chocolate industry is an industry worth approximately 110 $ billion per year. Children and grown ups all over the world enjoy the taste of chocolates.I am also one of them. Today I learned that the story behind chocolates is not so sweet. So today's topic is how the taste of chocolates shaped the history..

"Chernobyl diaries" was the movie which made me interested in this specific accident which took place on 26th of April 1986 in USSR. It was a nuclear accident which caused so many deaths and contaminated the environment. Influence of the accident can still be seen in the affected areas.

Seeds are in Fibonacci spirals I came across this sequence twice and both were in novels,the famous novel "Da vinci code". and "The Last Theorem" by Sir Arthur C. Clark. They used this sequence to unlock a safe in Da vindi code. As a person of science I wanted to know more and the discovery amazed me. From rabbit breeding to sunflower seeds,to hurricane and galaxies... all are about Fibonacci sequence. So let's get to know what is this magical sequence..

T om or Jerry? Sylvester or Tweety? Clarke or Lex? Well, my answers are Tom, Sylvester and of course L ex. Many people will agree with my answers.. Originally these cartoons were introduced to teach children that when you do bad, something bad will happen to you..and you should be good. They expected the good guy to win the hearts of kids,but the exact opposite happened,but why? Why people always fall in love with villains? Today I'm gonna tell you why..

If I ask you what is greenhouse effect and what causes it, you will say "Sun emits heat radiation and some gases in the atmosphere traps heat. So the cause for the greenhouse effect is those gases which are carbon dioxide and water vapor. Have you ever wondered exactly how these gases are trapping the heat? or why carbon dioxide,not oxygen or nitrogen? Today I'm going to give you answers..

In almost every exam we get multiple answer questions,but how many of us get 10 out of 10? Even though we know the content by heart, there are times that we might not be able to answer the question. In the grade 12 first term examination I didn't have enough time to answer for 9 mcqs. With the little time I had,if i was going to solve them, then I will only be solving only 2 or 3. So I just looked at the answers and then I got it.. It's not about the questions..the answers themselves guided me to the correct answer. In this method you don't even have to look at the question to get the correct answer. I have done this so many times and 90% times it worked. So lets see what is this magic ..

When I first heard this,the first thing came to my mind is the order of the phoenix in Harry Potter. Illuminati is also a secret society like that,but according to many conspiracy theories it is a very huge organization with lots of members from almost every country. These members include celebrities, politicians, managers and they represent almost every occupation in the world. Some sources states that all the current events are controlled by the illuminati including climate changes and wars..

On this vacation I decided to explore Hambanthota. Yeah I know most of you people are aware of this city, but did you know that it has some amazing places which you'll see only in foreign countries.. A selfie with an Ostrich maybe? Among all the places I visited I decided to write about a couple of places which stole my heart. First one in my list is the birds research center in Hambanthota. It is the largest bird research center in Asia, and it exhibits over 200 exotic and endemic bird species. It's so huge like about 50 acres and it takes a couple of hours just to walk through the center..

I uploaded some chemistry notes in my previous post ( Click HERE ). So today I'm uploading a set of another lecture notes.. Hope this will help you..!! :) Good luck.. AM1003 - Matrices  Organic Chemistry - I think I should say something about this course.. This is a 3 credit course and it will be very difficult if you are lazy.. Always go to lectures and refer books. I used to refer Solomon's book. And also there is a set of lectures done by UC Irvine California and those lectures helped me alot. So make sure to visit their site and have some extra knowledge.. C ircuit Theory

Well it's vacation but people are busy looking for notes and getting ready for the new semester, and I thought of helping the needy as much as I can.

In chinese culture number NINE is considered as a good number because it sounds the same as  "long lasting". So today I'm going to talk about a long lasting friendship.. A friendship of 8 years.. I saw her in grade 8. She was not in my class, but her best friend was..
