Indulging myself with Cosby Show

I have always been a great fan of The Cosby Show. I remember watching it over and over but never had the opportunity to really fallow it continuously season after season. Thanks to Netflix I have been watching The Cosby show from the top all over again. There were so many series that I had miss before, but not this time. To add a cherry on the top, on season 8, episode 4 Mrs Huxtable mention Sri Lanka . Sometimes I see myself in the Cosby Show.

Mason Neck hiking

So we decided to explore little beyond Alexandria and the old town. Hike in Mason Neck park. Trails were not long at least the once we took, and Niva was complaining most of the time saying (in exact her words “This ins not a hike, hiking should include hills”) I was happily clicking away my Cannon and capturing the beauty of the women next to me and the beauty of the mother nature.

Semester is done and I am flying to my nest…

It was a fantastic semester, I was super busy with the research work on Wikipedia and Gender gap. We put together a fantastic publication and I have a feeling its going to be a good one. Also, Web 2.0 class was an absolute thrill. Completed four major projects in YUI 3, GWT, Silverlight, and Android. I should write my experience in each technology at some point but for now I am taking a small break before I dive into my next research topic possibly the foundation for the next publication. So as wise-man once told there is women behind every successful man, so I am taking sometime off to spend some time with the women behind my success, which means I am heading to beautiful Alexandria where my beautiful women lives. Have a great summer everyone… (for some reason Minnesota haven’t got the Summer Memo yet)

Our First Sri Lankan New Year

So, I flew to D.C this weekend, it worked out perfectly. Its the weekend of Sri Lankan new year, and it was our first new year together and we made kiribath and sinisambol. It was fantastic, we added brown sugar to part of our kiribath and it was mind blowing. This was the best Sri Lankan new year I have had after moving to U.S.

Perfect day, perfect place

Adare, Potomac River, some presidents circle, under sakura tree…

A special day!!!

There are few days that I will always remember one would be May 12th, and I guess January 18th is the latest addition for that list. I am not going to ruin it buy over elaborating but the feeling that I got when I was walking across the Mississippi from West Bank to East Bank and names that ran in my head is something special.

Department offered me the assistantship

I had a feeling that I am going to get an email from U of M CS department related to my assistantship, I went to work and open up my email and there was the email they offered me the assistantship and even before I thought about anything I picked up the phone and call mage.adare.co.lk to tell the news and we both were thrilled because this is going to help us so much that I don’t even have words to describe how much burden will take off from our shoulders. I believe if you are qualified enough, hard working but most importantly if you have that attitude of never giving up then things can workout even without the luck.

Hope to wake up NMA…

Last night Minneapolis got some crazy amount of snow, then again its not a surprise because its Minneapolis. And I am thrilled that our Mini Cooper S cuts through 6-7 inches of snow like butter. I was suppose to fly out from Minneapolis at 5.50am and with half hour my flights go cancel, and I got pushed to 8am flight, then 1pm flight finally it stopped at 3.30pm. I managed to talk to American Airline and get me into one of their partner carrier flight USAirways which was scheduled to leave at 6.45am. But when I got to the airport that flight was delayed until 9.30am. I went back to American Airlines counter and ask if they can put me in any flight so thanks to the weather they can put in any airline as long as they have enough seats. So they put me 7.25am Delta DIRECT flight to D.C which is a fantastic deal. So, I never thought I would say this, I like to thank the snow storm. Hopefully, I get to wake NMA…

Posting while up in the air

Traveling back to boring MSP after visiting my better half is always a tough task. But today i got to the flight as usual the last one to get to the flight, and I heard in flight announcement which informed the passengers about free online wifi because of the holiday season. So, Delta has teamed up and they are providing free online wifi during this holiday season and right now I am using that free online wifi service to chat with my better half while flying 30,000 feet above the ground. I also used Google voice to contact her but since I cant really turn the speakers on and I didn’t have my ear phones I was not able to really have a conversation. So all you travelers who plan to travel this holiday season take you laptop with you because you will at least be able to be with your love ones even you are flying thousand miles up in the air.
