Happy Independence day to mother Sri Lanka

We're celebrating the 74th year of independence as a nation today but have we really got independence?

I understand that can have better lives in other countries but there is a set of individuals who can have a better life here in Lanka in terms of work hours to how much they could earn. This article is dedicated to them

What is independence as a nation? The ability to live as an independent country and not having to depend on any other nation to thrive. Basically as at for today the country is running in debt which means that we're dependent on other monetary sources for survival. I see many in cues at foreign embassies, long cues in the passport office and many other looking out for foreign opportunities while they're already born in a beautiful island; Sri Lanka. It's a bitter truth that those Lankans who only have a genuine source of income, from deep within their hearts have got frustrated of their own country where they were born and bred. What will be the fate of this beautiful island if every soul starts cursing?

Crisis creates opportunities

Can we all step out of our comfort zone to rebuild our nation?

Mother Lanka is, so far minimally untouched, the bio diversity is unspoilt, people as a whole is less spoilt compared to any other country that we urge to migrate in to. Attitude is everything

1. Start up your own business. One that helps you and I grow

2. Stop labelling others and yourself. Stop racism, religious indifferences

3. Give everything to nature. Grow naturally

4. Look for opportunities. Do not complain

5. Grow. Grow. Grow. Personally, socially and professionally

What more can you add to the list?

Enjoy the break on this independence

Have a great day folks!

What took me to the UN

I was invited to the United Nations' International Labour Organization for a consultative meeting with the stakeholders of the entrepreneurial system to conduct a start-up ecosystem mapping for the first time in Sri Lanka on the 17th of January 2025 This is my first time to even go to the United Nations and I'm grateful that I was invited. In my invitation it mentioned that I was invited for the potential that I showcased as a young entrepreneur There were only four young entrepreneurs who were invited while the rest was about 50 other massive stakeholders and entrepreneurs themselves But, what exactly made me to the UN? I was pondering about the "potential" and yes, I think I figured out 1. social impact : aligns with 10 SDGs of UN From healing pets to creating industries, employment and promoting innovation, my work expands in the most sustainable ways 2. health impact : promotes longevity and sustainability of pets directly and human beings indirectl...

Leptospirosis as a zoonosis

Leptospirosis awareness A timely topic as there's a Leptospirosis outbreak in the Northern province of Sri Lanka. I see a gap in the level of awareness on prevention and transmission regarding this topic although there are plenty of sources to explain the symptoms of the disease. It's vital to raise awareness on prevention of spread of the disease among the non-infected at a same level as of the attempts to cure the already infected individuas! Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease - a disease that is transmitted to humans via animals Leptospirosis, also known as "මී උණ" in Sinhala is a highly contagious disease caused by the bacteria Leptospira The carrier of the disease is rodents such as rats, mice and even squirrels The carriers can transmit Leptospira bacteria to most of the mammals such as humans, dogs, cats, cattle, horses, wild animals and marine mammals How does the bacteria enter into an individual? There are several ways by which the bacter...
