		<description><![CDATA[We recently did some landscaping work, where my Mother-in-Law&#8217;s motto &#8220;every Baas will break something in the process of making something&#8221; was confirmed. Her call for constant supervision of the &#8220;experts&#8221; &#8211; something my own father constantly demands- was also vindicated when the water bills came in. Turns out the guy who &#8220;jazzed up&#8221; the water [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not too long after my post on LED lighting, it seems that Sri Lanka has commissioned its first solar power plant in the week ending 13 August 2011. The state media has publicized the commissioning of the 500kw plant, as has LankaBusinessOnline. While the economics may still be debatable, it&#8217;s good to see that Sri [...]]]></description>

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[The Daily Mirror (yes, that website that stole my crappy photo and continued to use it without any attribution some time ago) has gone ahead and published an article about the resignation of the Sri Lankan cricket team&#8217;s Bus Driver. Many thanks to Mr. Senanayake for his continued highlighting of such moments of hilarity. Type [...]]]></description>

And then people who wanted to sell stuff decided that the best way to sell it was to let everyone know. So there began bulk mailing and literally junk mail. With communications moving on to the internet, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While reading for my postgraduate qualification I came across Yahoo&#8217;s value statement as part of the coursework. Interestingly, they also include a separate page for what they don&#8217;t value. One of the terms I came across in all of this, is the &#8220;Monday Morning Quarterback&#8221;. As always, Google helps us find out what that means: [...]]]></description>

Then it turned out that there&#8217;s a whole subset of pictures which you can get tagged in on Facebook.

Sadly, I am now among a handful of people who&#8217;ve sold their cars for the same price they bought them (despite a couple of years&#8217; use) and are now pondering what to buy. With all due [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So today a friend and I were waiting for a friend to pick us up, when we were approached by two young ladies from a foreign country. They wanted to know how to get some place in a bus, possibly because the three wheeler guys charge too much. Reminded me of reading somewhere that during [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been a big fan of choral music. Not being able to carry a tune in a bucket, I always admired how people could create such powerful art with their voices. Then again, being somewhat a philistine, perhaps I&#8217;m just miscategorising some of my favourite music. Mainly, my favourites have been the likes of [...]]]></description>
