Just analyzing...

I was going through some archived data and present data of the presidential elections of Sri Lanka thanks to one of the pleasant chats I had with a dearest friend of mine. What I came up with was really interesting, and I had a long thought about it. Found it interesting enough to share it with you.

Let me summarise it for you.

In 2005 there were 9,717,039 valid votes.
Out of which;

1. Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksha got 4,887,152
2. Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe got 4,706,366
   where JVP was with MR and TNA was not in the scene.

In 2010 there were 10,495,451 valid votes
Out of which;

1. Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksha got 6,015,934
2. Gen. (Rtd) Sarath Fonseka got 4,173,185
   where JVP and TNA were with SF.
   
   What does this mean?

Amazed by you

I have seen many with perseverance but none like my cute little wife. J Of course, I may not have known the others, the way I know my wify. Yet, the more I get to know her, more I realise how much of a gutty person she is.

She is an undergrad in Paris since 2007 and that was the year I graduated. She has been working part-time from the day she has started her university career where as I have never worked part-time in my whole life. I was amazed by the fact she was working part-time. But some of my friends and respected adults who have had experience told me that most of the students do part-time jobs while studying. They said it was not much to be amazed.

I never studied late into the night or had full nights but I was lucky enough to get enough marks to get through all the tests that I had to face. Some of my close friends who were geniuses at uni did study late into the night and they used to sleep around 4-5 hours consistently, some of them who cared for me also told me to put more effort so that I would do better. Yet, none of them did part-time jobs and they were well taken care of by their families.

My wife and I used to talk for long hours when we were many miles apart. She would always call/chat/write irrespective of how much of little time she had to do her studies. Though I did tell her to get back and study, I have to admit that I loved talking to her and spending my time with her. I was amazed how she was able to do that.

Then, I came to live with my wife and I still am. J I realised a lot of things as I was experiencing everything first hand. Of course, in countries like this, most of the students work part-time. But it is very few who would work more than 15 hours. The number is even less who would work 15 hours and get through their studies as well. Yet, the love of my life works 25 hours. It makes me wonder in awe, how well she does things, how hard she does things, what perseverance she has. I haven’t even seen anyone as strong as she is. I am still amazed.

Not only she does her part in the best way she can, she makes me do better. Thanks to her, now I know, that I am capable of things that I never thought I was. Her perseverance not only makes her stand out tall among everyone (even though she is short, of course, taller than KD: personal joke, don’t try to get it…) but makes the people around her glow and grow too.

I love you & I am amazed by you!

Prodigy

"Leave no space for theory, leave no space to restrict; you will find the prodigy in you! The harmony of you with your inner soul; will take you there. All you need to do is, to listen."

I was inspired by the movie “August Rush”. Thank you for letting me have it little one. All of us will neither be musicians nor artists. Yet, there lives a prodigy in all of us. Happiness is accepting yourself for the person you are, the prodigy you are!

Mentor!

This is what (Comments for the first blog post) I had to say when he appeared in blogging way back in 2006. Do I feel the same still?
A busy software engineer! Perfectionist of its kind! True lover! The one I know, is a person who would bear the weight of the world without hurting the ones he loves. Is selfless of its own kind!
He would not go home last night, doing his job! The one that gets him bread and butter. He would not go home in the morning today, exactly 26 years back that his parents were gifted with the gift he is! Not cause of the his job, yet cause of the righteousness he carries with himself to pay his debts back to place where he gathered certain parts of his life!

Have a wonderful birthday (the latter part of the day which you were able to save from us…)!

I do!

Innocent love or innocence of love?

Two friends I know, are friends themselves! One is a boy, the other being a girl. They are both very close as friends, perhaps as close as siblings are!

The boy loves another girl and the relationship goes on strong! The girl doesn’t have a better half. She thinks she is not in love, perhaps she is not sure whether she is in love. Or she may also be fighting against the true feelings of love as the person she is in love with has another! Whatever the true feelings of hers are, she doesn’t want the world to know that there’s something funny going on inside her.

Yet it shows… It shows from the way she behaves around him! So protective, so fuzzy, so childish… so much as if she is trying hard not to let out the true feelings she carries… but doing nothing but that, by being how she is being! For an eye of a mother, a caring father the difference is apparent.

I think to myself, should I rather talk to the boy than the girl? Tell him, to stay away if he really considers her as a friend. Tell him, to pick a huge fight and make her so angry and keep away from her so that she would think that she has fallen for the wrong guy or to do something nasty that she would hate him to the limits.
Or…
…should I rather talk to the girl than the boy? Tell her, it’s ok to accept the true feelings yet it’s not ok to be a trouble maker for a relationship so that she has to get away from him. Tell her, to keep on accepting her feelings, being ready to wait for something she may never get or just be the way she is…

Is it innocent love or innocence of love? I don’t know! Yet, I’m in a dilemma, that; I know for sure!
