Cricket World Cup 2011 - CWC 2011

It’s again the summer of cricket in the region. The Cricket World Cup 2011 is held in three south Asian countries, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. This is the third time it has come to the subcontinent after 1987 and 1996. The opening ceremony, yesterday in Bangabandhu Stadium, was a spectacle there wasn't an empty seat in the stadium. From Sri Lanka, three singers were performed, Bathiya, Santhush and Iraj followed by a dance show “Sound of Waves”. Well!! Hope SRI LANKA can WIN this year too!!

Let the games begin from 19^th of February 2011.

Jaya wewa SRI LANKA!! 

Sri Lanka visit 2011

Finally, after 2 years of counting, we have visited our home, our parents, relatives, friends…. Etc. in Sri Lanka. We were there from 29th Jan to 13th Feb 2011. Since we have visited many relatives, the trip was bit tiring though. However, at the end it was a great relief after months of working in the lab without any break. We visited Sri Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic - http://www.daladamaligawa.org/) and the Sacred Jaya Siri Maha Bodhi in Anuradhapura (http://srimahabodhi.org/). Especially, that was the first time I flew over the country in a day time. It was very nice to explore the country over the clouds and had a nice view of east coastal line from the flight. I will update the snaps into my photo blog soon and do tune into http://tasteofcosmos.blogspot.com/.
