Edx the best MOOC

I was wondering what to do after A/Ls ,As we all know we have to wait a long time till we get selected to a university.Some people do English or IT courses.So what am i going to do?Then i found a good solution,MOOCs.  MOOCs or massive open online courses,are new to our country.Many people even don't know such a thing exists.What happens in MOOCs is world's prestigious universities offer online versions of their classes.Learning at Harvard university or MIT is like a dream,isn't it?Only few students are able to study at those universities.It's a dream for most of us,maybe it's coz we are not that rich,or we are not that smart.But what if they are offering you their materials and lectures for FREE? There were many websites offering online courses and my choice was Edx.It's online,so i can study whenever i want to and wherever i want. MIT and Harvard university created Edx in 2012.More than 70 schools and nonprofit organizations and corporations offer courses...

Ravana,the great king of helanka-Part 2

This is the second part of the series of posts about the legendary  sri lankan emperor  "Ravana" .According to sri lankan folk stories Sita was Ravanas own daughter.Can you believe that?Well,lets see what is that story first. When Ravans queen,Mandodari was pregnant,one of the ministers got to know a future prediction,which says If the child born before a specific time(nakatha) he or she will bring prosperity to the kingdom and kind,otherwise he or she will bring bad luck to the king.They were panicked and annoyed because of this future prediction,and a baby boy born before that specific time.King was so happy and while he went to do some religious rituals,queen gave birth to a second child,that was a baby girl and that is after that specific time.So the ministers decided to hide this from king and throw the baby girl away.So they put her in a boat and throw it into sea.That is how she went to India. And let me tell you something about the Agni pareeksha too.In southern ...

Ravana,the king of helanka...

Everybody in Sri Lanka and India know about Ravana through ramayan,right?But is the story in Ramayana true?Does it hide anything from us?Well Ramayana is the story from Indian side,How many of you know about that story from Sri lankan side? The information in this series of posts are gathered from several books,tv programs and magazines,and some are Sri Lankan folklores.and i visited  most of the places mentioned in these posts.So are you ready to start a journey to few thousands of years back...Here you go....

Good books for students studying for GCE A/L examination...

As we all know A/Ls is a very tough exam and you will not be able to finish it successfully by just studying.It needs practice,timing and all.So the best way to do it is do exercises and improve knowledge,i did A/Ls in physical science stream and in sinhala medium,so based on my experience i will recommend anyone to use following books.There may be books better than following list,but books below were used by me. Chemistry almost every book by hemachandra basnayaka Akabanika rasayanaya by Aruna Bandara (there are two books for inorganic chemistry,these books will help you in for the doubts you will have in doing mcqs) Akabanika rasayana pilibanda gunathmaka ha pramanathmaka wishleshanaya by Ranga gunarathna(this also will help you in mcqs) Organic chemistry by jayathilaka(this book is very good and it will help you to understand concepts in organic chemistry better) Physics Prof D.D.N balo dayas' books yanthra vidyawa by lakshaman dissanayaka(questionsin this book  are ...

A great site for people with problems and people who like to help others...

Few years ago there was a day that I was confused.On that day i didn't had anyone to talk to,I didn't had anyone to share my feelings with.. So I decided to search on net for a  help...there were many sites which had this online counseling feature,but most of them were not for free,then I found this site called 7 cups of tea  and what I had do was to chat 30 minutes with a counselor and if I'm satisfied with their service then to make an account for free and continue talking,actually I felt extremely good after talking with a counselor that day.Also there were self help guides and my counselor guided me to read those too. Last year when I had free time after finishing schooling, I  was wondering what to do,and I suddenly knew what I had to do.So I became a listener at the 7 cups of tea,we can volunteer as listeners there too,to help people with little problems...like I got help when I needed,now I'm helping others.It feels great after helping someone to solve their...
