		<description><![CDATA[I was very happy to read in the Sunday Times that there&#8217;s a proposal to bring in LED street lighting to Sri Lanka. The company concerned with the project, Carbon Futures is also planning on using local production facilities in partnership with local company RONA Electricals (Pvt) Ltd. The initial investment that they make is [...]]]></description>

While you can easily find out the story of Grameen at its Wikipedia page, there are some points of interest in the book that don't make it into Wikipedia.]]></description>

UPDATE (2009-09-15): The folks at Derana replied my email and apologised for the unauthorised use. They have taken off the pic from their site. I forgive them, but am keeping the post up, since I still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not so long ago I wrote about the scam involving the use of the AirTel name and the promise of an iPhone to harvest email addresses. It seems that any new entrant to the Sri Lankan market can be almost guaranteed that its name will be used for a scam. Just consider what I found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m pretty sure that the Sri Lankan online community includes more than a few freelancers who primarily operate off the web. Even then, there&#8217;s probably just a handful of freelancers or even small businesses that have given any thought about their invoicing. I&#8217;ve seen plenty of individuals and SMEs sending out invoices which are clearly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The allure of books written by millionaires or billionaires is that there might be something in it that&#8217;ll help the reader along the same path. Of course, reading alone won&#8217;t get you far, but it helps understanding how some people made it to the top. Jon M Huntsman is a billionaire who has written a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During my days at Vesess, making presentations was pretty much 80% of what I did. Design support was from Prabhath, while tweaking the overall focus was done with Lankitha&#8217;s support. My experiences in debating lent themselves to an advantage in presenting in front of an audience, which sometimes led people to think I had an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[January 12th saw the launch of Bharthi Airtel in Sri Lanka. That tune which was so familiar on Dialog TV (ironic, I guess) began to feature on the local TV channels as well, with Sharuk Khan greeting Sri Lankans with a cheerful &#8220;Hello Sri Lanka&#8221;. It was not long after this that another ad did [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came across an article on the Freakonomics blog today about the difference between autorickshaw (3-Wheeler in Sri Lankan parlance) drivers in Delhi and Mumbai. According to law, autorickshaw drivers must only go by the meter reading that is reported after a commuter’s trip is finished. However in Delhi, there are hardly any autorickshaw drivers [...]]]></description>

An email did the rounds, promising its forwarders the opportunity to win an Apple iPhone along with the launch of AirTel. Of course, everyone wants an iPhone, so Thomas, Richard and Harold&#8217;s local counterparts were sending out the email with some obscure [...]]]></description>
