It seems the book "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" , written by French economist Thomas Piketty, is now selling well in the USA. The central idea of this book is that capitalism broadens the economic disparity and so we must tax the rich more in order to share it with many people.

The reason why this book is now selling well in the USA is because its content is about economic disparity. I read the news, in which the people in the USA are now concerned with economic disparity. They are angry

I attended a funeral a couple of days back in Colombo that is the commercial city of Sri Lanka. So, after many year, I got a chance to go and have a look at one of the oldest cemeteries established by British rulers about 100 years back. This cemetery is something like a museum because there are many things available with it to make a kind of research about people who lived and died on this soil. Some of the tombs belong to white people who came to Sri Lanka when Sri Lanka was under the crown o

Avoid the Fillers ...

Unfortunately, in spoken English, people use too many "fillers". This is probably true of other languages too.When people use too many fillers, it detracts from the conversation and also becomes annoying.One of the most common fillers is "um" as in this conversation:Question: "What sports do you like to play?"Answer: "Um, I like soccer and um, sometimes I um play tennis. Occasionally, um, I play squash."Another filler comes in the form of "you know". In this case the above answer would be someth

A Lazy Friend


A few months ago, one of my friends who is very lazy invited me for lunch; but it was such a bad party that I said to myself, I would never accept any invitation from her.


Actually, I am a hospitable person and I used to invite this friend a lot and receive her very well, but when I was her guest, the lunch was served at 4:00 PM. 


I thought to myself, how nice it was if I would teach her a good lesson, it was a good idea if I would invite her to dinner then I would give her a simp

writing challenge:what is life?

“What is life?”In my opinion, life has different aspects so it should have various definitions, such as: religious, scientific and personal.In religion, life is a bridge which we should pass to arrive at the other world. In this aspect we should gain things which are demanded for having a comfortable life after leaving this world.In another aspect, science, life is a period in which a creature is alive and can eat, breath and reproduce. The creature has particular requires and has different reac

What is the meaning of life? This question had haunted me for long time and I cannot remember how many times I had searched for the answer on the internet and books. Well, I found thousands of answers but still I am not satisfied with them. And every time I failed to achieve my goals, this question come to me again, making my head whirled.

There was only a haunted void.

One day, I went to a book store and saw a book name

Tiny hearts

Some years ago, I bought a new motorbike. I normally parked it in the yard when going back home from work.

One evening, when I was cooking dinner in the kitchen,  I heard my kids shouting excitedly: "Mom, come over here, you will see a very special thing we've done for you". I was so curious then I came to them.

Then I stunningly stared at my motobike. My brand new motobike was scratched  vertically and horizontally with some thing edgy , a stone or a nail maybe. "Oh my God, what were you doing?"

Who you prefer working with? Female or Male boss? Why

I had worked under both but I was more comfortable with Female boss as she was pretty good at delegating work under the team. She had never interfered until & unless there was a major problem. Moreover she was good at giving rating.

Positives & Negatives –Patience, Supportive & Multitasking but poor at Experience & Knowledge Sharing

Working under male boss was like sitting on a volcano. You can never predict when it is going to erupt? Work never

I am not a good cook, so to concoct a dinner event is something of a daunting task. So, I think instead of a normal dinner, I would turn this into a barbecue dinner. But first, who would I invite to this barbecue dinner? 

Well, I would like to invite a few of EC members who I always chat in the main room or just being friends. They are of different characters, different cultures, different countries and most importantly different views on nearly everything. They are; a very polished Pole - Rysper

What do you need the very most at this moment?

A good education?

A good Job?

A carrier ?

Money?

Every individual goals are important to you, some are short terms and other's long. Yet not one of these is as important as breathing.

If you have been unable to breath for 39 seconds, you would have given up all your own in order to breath again. In other minute or so, you'd have lost consciousness . Brain death will follow in other 2 or 3 minutes. And your life will be an end.........................
