It's been four years !!!

Guess what..It has been 4 years since I started this blog.. I started this blog on Spetember 16th 2015 just because I was bored and I wanted to release my thoughts to somewhere.. It was so satisfying when people read stuff I wrote and responded to those. Thanks to this blog I have met and exchanged ideas with people I would not have met otherwise. Whenever I feel down I publish something. This is my method of stress relieving which is exactly what I'm doing right now. 

Govt vs Private hospitals - My experience...

If you are following this blog then you already know that I am a senior year student specializing in Nuclear Medicine. For those who do not know what Nuclear medicine is, I will give a brief introduction. Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine where we use radioactive materials to diagnose and treat certain diseases. I have been to both government and private hospitals and today I am going to share my experiences and I am not biased at all.

Anonymous - 11

I'm sure you all thought the anonymous series is over. Guess what, today I'm writing an anonymous after a long break. The series will never end as more and more cool people will keep coming into my life and yes of course I will make them a part of the anonymous. So far there have been 10 anonymous people and only a handfull of them are with me now, but they all represented a one chapter in my life. So I'm thankful to all of them.

Hello everyone, Last semester of my undergraduate life is starting on this Monday. So my life will be busy again with studies, clinical practice and my research. May be I will not be able to post often, but I will do my best. The purpose of this post is to thank everyone.😇

Time management for A/L students...

Hello everyone!! So in one of my previous A/L posts  one of my readers asked how I used to manage time for all the work that was piling up when I was doing A/Ls. So today I'm gonna share my experience and what I got wrong. (And thank you for asking that question btw. 😊) It will not be a fancy article with nice scientific words, but I will share you the wisdom I got during past few years and how I managed to survive A/Ls.

How I did A/Ls - Part 2

Last time I told you about how I prepared for the A.L examination.( How I did A/Ls- Part 1 ) So today I am telling you how I managed stress during the exam.

How I did A/Ls..

Well as per one of my readers request I decided to tell you how I did A/Ls. So before telling you that I think telling you the background story will be important for you to understand why I did certain things. So lets get started.. (It's gonna be a very long post)

I interviewed a LINO 19 alumni...

Vindula Kumaranayake, an undergraduate student who is specializing in pure mathematics from  the University of Colombo participated to Lindau Nobel Laureate meetings this year. I also mentioned about it in a previous post. (Click HERE to read it.) I thought it will be important for future young scientists to have some knowledge and insight about LINOs and decided to interview him. Well I'm aware of conflict of interest and I will do my best not to be biased.

As you all know I'm a vegetarian and I enjoy cooking. So today I'm gonna share my Oyster mushroom recipe. It's yummy and also healthy. Especially I hope this will help vegetarians who are trying to loose some weight. 

Doppler Calculations made easy...

Since A/L examination is starting in few days I thought of writing a quick post about something related to A/Ls. I will be explaining Doppler Effect and how to do calculations using formulas easily. This was taught to me by my Physics teacher in school who also happened to be my class teacher. Literally she is the best Physics teacher I had in my life and I didn't even need tuition classes for Physics. (She insisted me on practicing more problems so I went to a Physics class where the teacher focused more on questions than theory.) But I learned all the theories and how to apply them from her. So today I'm gonna share with you one of her lessons. It will get you full marks on your Doppler effect question in paper. 

The Alfred House

As a person who lived in Colombo 03 and a student of the University of Colombo, I often came across Alfred House Gardens, Alfred House Road, Alfred House Avenue, Alfred Place signboards and wondered what is this Alfred House. And I always forgot to search until I started reading "Colombo" by Mohan Raj Madawala. As you all know I'm a bookworm and once I get my hands on a book I stop everything and start reading it. So while I was reading suddenly Alfred House popped up. I was like.. wait. Is this the same Alfred House we are talking about? So I immediately googled Alfred House... and boy there it is. So I was reading a book about Alfred House while I was in a land once belonged to Alfred House? (I read it while in the place I used to stay at Colombo 03) It felt so crazy to think about it at that moment. About 150 years ago it was the Alfred House garden. I started imagining flowers, fountains, gardeners working in the garden etc.. And all of a sudden I wanted to know ...

Hash Brown Recipe

My person - Meine Liebe

" He walked into my heart like he always belonged there, took down my walls and lit my soul on fire..." Well the people who knows me knows my person too.(He was my anonymous 08 back in 2016.) I'm not wrong if I tell you he is the living Sheldon Cooper. The arrogant theoretical physicist who hates mediocre lifestyles and stupidity. Me and my friends literally almost died laughing seeing the similarities between the them once we started watching the show. It's surprisingly and hilariously similar. Actually he's not the nerd people think he is. He plays guitar, can dance some dances which he made by himself (well my attempt to teach him waltz failed once he started stepping on my shoes.. maybe I'm a bad teacher.. who knows..) and he's fun to hang around with. So the reason I'm writing here today about him, is actually coz I miss him so badly. 🙈

April Bookworm..

" She reads books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live. " - Annie Dillard That's something you would say if you know me. Yeah I read. Alot. I don't honestly remember when I started reading.. But I can clearly remember Radiant way English book that I used to read in Nursery. I literally read everything which has letters printed/written in and my mom thought it's a good idea to get me the membership of local library. By the second grade I finished reading all the books in the library and wanted more. So mom bought me books.. It was a habit of us to visit the local bookstore at least once a month. Soon books started piling up but was that enough for me? NO... I wanted more.. and more books. As a result of collecting books for about 18 years I have a huge library in my house and also proud to say that I won the 4th place of an all island library competition when I was in seventh grade.

Tears of the Pearl...

I'm sure you all heard of the tragedy occurred in my country, Sri Lanka. On 21st of April I was on my way to hill country with mom to attend a series of lectures. Suddenly at about 9 am the woman behind me asked me if its true that there has been bomb blasts in Colombo.. Thinking if the woman is insane I turned my phone on and messages started flooding in about 2 bomb blasts in Churches. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Who killed innocent people on Easter? Why would somebody do that? Will there be more? How many people died? Is there anyone I know among casualties? How many people got injured? Where are my loved ones at the moment?
