Stone Age or Digital Era ?
This matrimonial advertisement appeared in one of the weekend newspapers today. Quote: Father seeks a graduate daughter,employed in the public sector or having permanent employment, pretty, slim, born in Kandy or Colombo districts areas,only for his government employee (in the public sector), graduate son, born in 1984. Female university lecturers preferred, should not be from Galle or Matara districts. Reply with all details. Unquote. I could not believe my eyes seeing it and thinking that such people do exist in this century still. One may argue that it is his or their choice. Yes, I agree that it was his or their choice but choices, as this made with prejudices, are going to harm society more, if allows to propagate openly and or discreetly. Such people belong to the Stone age and not to the Digital era. I feel sorry for the unlucky woman going into that household if they are really lucky to find one.
Language the Stumbling Block !
I have been watching Sirasa Lakshapathi seasons, off and on for some years now. Something I have noticed was that majority of the participants was well prepared when it comes to knowledge within our shores. Be its local history, literature, traditions etc, they were well versed. But throw something beyond our shores at them and the majority of them were very shaky. Sometimes, some have managed to come up with the correct answer but they were not based on solid knowledge but merely guessing it. Last week, a very young schoolgirl appeared on the show and she has taken the attention of the country by her mastery of many subjects and charm but as I said, it was sad to see how she fumbled at the question involving Adolf Hitler’s life. She was trying to arrive at the correct answer by intelligently deducting unlikely possibilities out but in real life matters sometimes this method does not work right. I see one possible reason as to why many fail at this stumbling bl...

Being Frugal Means
I thought an update is in order after my post Join the FIRE Movement appeared on LinkedIn a few weeks back. A few who are in my network and not total strangers contacted me after reading that, some seeking help and others to share their Feel Not So Good experiences with me. All of them are either already retired or soon reaching that milestone. There is very little help that can be extended to them other than lend an ear to them as they all have passed that threshold of starting the saving ritual a long time ago. One advice I gave them all was to encourage their children to be savvier when it comes to saving for rainy days. The moment the word Frugal being used, many think that it in some way imply being tightfisted and or stingy. Frugal means spending wisely on things that you need and not on things you want. With the present lower interest rates on borrowing, the opportunities are aplenty and your opportunities are only as limited as your imaginations. Subscribe t...
Use it Wisely & Reap Benefits
Approaching retirement age was something I was looking forward to for many years ahead. As I felt, it came faster than I expected because I really had a good time performing my tasks day in and day out. However, after being in the so-called Rat Race for four decades or so, getting adjusted to the new lifestyle will be somewhat hard thing initially for most, unless if you have not prepared yourself both mentally as well as physically to face the new challenges. Retirement means No more schedules to meet neither the current weather is no longer an issue after that and because of that one is left with so much freedom and more time for indulgence. I had no issues getting into the new Retired lifestyle and I did it like a duck into the water. I had a few good habits cultivated in me long before this Retirement saga begins. Reading is one of them and the rest too fit well into the extra available pace without any qualm. Initially, most of my spare time was funnelled to ini...
