Importance in English Language

English is the International Language and is one of the most populist languages and most spoken in the technology world. We need to know the English language in order to study any subject in areas mainly like computer, science, accounting and finance. We need to know English to communicate effectively to many developed countries. English is very much important in our life.


The word English is derived from the word “England”. There are different kinds of English language like British English, Canadian English and American English. English is the world's second largest native language. English can be at least understood almost everywhere among educated people, as it is the world media language. If we know English we never feel a tongue tide in front of others. It's a widely spoken language. People take pride in speaking English. If we don't know English, we will leg behind the other. Today we can't deny the importance of English in our life. 

To anyone who lives in an English speaking country it is important. If you cannot speak the language properly  it will be very difficult to communicate and tackle with the people. And so it is an absolute necessity. We communicate with others every day. English has now achieved the global status. English is quickly becoming the World’s most spoken international language, therefore anyone who wants to progress in the world needs to be able to read and speak English. English is used in over 104 countries as an official or semi-official language.

Communication is a tool for everyday life and Everyone uses it every day. You can develop your knowledge for betterment of your knowledge. As long as you educate yourself, you will come across many new things. Many students in higher education is jobless due to poor in mastering English language. The ability in speak well in English is very important things for new comers need to gain employment. Those with strong English skills will become employable faster than those who have only basic English skills. With global employment currently on the rise, proficiency in a foreign language brings clear advantages in terms of employ-ability.

Rainy weather

Most people love sunny instead of rainy weather. There are occasional flashes of lightning and the loud roar of the thunder. The reason behind this is sunshine often make cheerful and gloomy sky depresses the population. Life need both sun and rain, but any excess of the two can bring trouble or even disasters to the world. 

If there is anyone who complains of the excessive rainfall in this period complaint is understandable. Because in past years in this time rain was not there. Anyway many people can bear to see the world darkened each time because of the rain almost every day. The continual rain is really boring. In my point if the goddess of Rain doesn't feel stopping the cry, the best thing we can do is let invisible sun shine in pockets of the hearts. 

The roads in the countryside become muddy and slippery. The drains are filled up. It is difficult to walk along the road. In some towns there are underground drains. The rain water cannot easily pass into the drains. So the streets are flooded. It is a sight to see. Although it is very inconvenient for people to go out on a rainy bay, still have to do that because no one is doing the work for us.  If I find my clothes or shoes or both wetted in the rain. I am usually in a sad bad mood as its too cold. Getting clothes and shoes wetted on a rainy wintry day can also make people to catch cold.

School children generally welcome a rainy day to  find an excuse to be absent from school. Some go to school. They feel great joy to wade through the water. They thoroughly drench themselves willingly. They go to school in wet dress. Because of continuous rain the occurrence of floods are in a high rank and i have still gone to school in distant roots to study without being lazy.  

People have to wade through the water. In old houses and huts the rainwater leaks through the roof. So people who live there feel great inconvenience. People cannot go to market. Dealers in fish and fresh vegetables suffer loss if they do not get purchasers. Poor day-laborers cannot go out. They lose their day's wages.

Guidelines for Giving Up the Mobile-Phone

1. Enclose a consumable thing

When abandoning a mobile phone you may be able to rotate among different objects as needed in different purposes like business cards, iPod, notepad etc. Normally a human’s remembrance is up to a certain level and possibility of forgetting something in mind is real. But you can have a replaceable object which allows you to prioritize the work applicably.

2. Support yourself

A stressful situation without a cell phone teaches you to have a reflective level of patience and trust while making it humorous. For instance, if you are going to meet someone at a restaurant, and they are late, you have to trust that they’re on their way. It’s a lot more peaceful this way.

3. Have a system in place

If you are really going to ditch the cell phone first think of a system that allows you to free yourself from the cell phone’s distractions.
Sample system:-
  • At work use office land- phone for office related activities
  • On the road have an emergency phone in car
  • At home if really need use Skype else use house land-phone
Most people use their mobile phones throughout the whole day. Then you have constantly racking up bills. Therefore people now no need for a house phone, or work phone. When you’ve got your cell phone, you can use it anytime, anywhere, for anything.
When you give-up using the cell phone, you make a decision to classify the life. Additionally, you can use Google voice to catch your messages, call friends and get in touch with them freely without generating mobile bill rapidly.  However, ditching your cell phone means you’re not ditching your friends. You’re simply compartmentalizing your life and setting boundaries. You’re setting yourself up for a time where you can pay the attention that friend’s be worthy of focused attention; not attention while multitasking.

4. Offline activities

Replace cell phone activities with mind-expanding activities. If your habit centered on making calls on your travel to work, replace this with a book or with a pirith CD or listen to radio news etc.

The truth of not using a cell phone all the days/ months/ years have afforded me highly and close relates many pleasures and benefits. 

If you could not use your mobile phone for a month, what would it be like? Would there be any advantages?

With the involvement of the technology different methodologies of getting work done and becoming more productive have increased. So that you must learn how to give up mobile phone which distract you on different activities and train your mind to become more focused and more productive.

Most of the people are ditch with their cell phones by watching advertisements or constantly checking messages from phones, emails, IM’s, wall posts, tweets and more. This addiction is not good for a proper health. Mobile is the demon of life.

Whenever you go on a relaxing vacation to a tropical destination, the first couple of days are a struggle because there’s typically no cell phone or internet. It’s weird and almost unbearable. With the abandonment from the digital world, life feels great and feels peaceful. There’s no phone distraction that enables you to stop what you are doing. But someone may blame you why you are away of cell phone. How to contact you? But you know the truth and benefits of staying away from mobile phone.

This is how I spend my life every single day. I enjoy the environment while looking at the nice sceneries and collecting the experiences when on vacation. I do this in order to become a more focused, action-oriented person. I also do this in order to better enjoy life.

My experience of give-up mobile phone makes my life wonderful and simple mind full of peace to achieve challenge.

Pros to a cell phone-free life:
  • Freedom and Liberty
  • More productive
  • Better peace of mind
  • Can focus on what’s really important
  • Take a joyous approach to life
Cons to a cell phone-free life:

  • Prevents quick communication
  • Can be dangerous if you don’t have it with you all the time
  • Can be fruitless if not control right

Should all shops close on a Sunday? What might be the advantages of having one day a week when you cannot 'do retail?'

 At present keeping shops open the entire week and all day and night seems convenient for customers. But in my viewpoint there are some side-effects for most customers, shop staff. From a customer’s perspective longer shop hours at later stage drive higher prices in goods and less staff present in the shop for billing (less service for all consumers). Only a few customers would actually shop after 9PM regularly.

For store staff longer opening hours may lead to longer working hours and working in shifts. Both are known to be neither healthy nor friendly. Later this will make more stressful and to spend advising customers on promoting. For shopkeepers it can be challenging to make the increased costs of longer opening hours back. If the

shop is located in a location where many customers arrive in each minutes to the country then you can increase profits significantly.

In the other hand shops should be closed on Sundays because it is the only day which is available for the workers to relax mind and body happily with the family and to give everyone a day off. Workers and shoppers can stay home and enjoy family time and time off from getting something done. During the early 1980s discount retailers such as Hills and Wal-Mart opened their doors for limited hours on Sundays.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the shops are closed on Sunday; to have a day where people can spend some time leisurely enjoying with their families? Society has become quicken and gets things done life without a traditional time to visit, spend time with family, friends or just lie on the couch and watch TV. With the accumulation of cell phones society has become a busy and never takes a break. Why do we need to have the malls open on Sunday?  We can just order every item we need using the Internet.

People will have to plan to get their shopping done during the week and on Saturdays. As humans we have to make plans and organize our lives to get our shopping done after work and keep Sunday to enjoy with family.


Teenagers will find a corner to spend time without any purpose without spending the day with their families, grandparents. You can visit grandparents and learn stories and have a good meal. People can spend quality family time together. When you get down to it, what’s wrong with that?

If the world suddenly stopped spinning, what would you actually see and hear during your last seconds, or minutes?

Initially the opinion which comes to the mind when earth stopped spinning gradually is disaster going to occur. Also in the other hand the opinion that rises may be earth’s ecosystem has survived evolution. So how does this new world look like? Similar thoughts before this dawn of 2013 also came into human’s mind.
Some think that the human on the earth don't fly off to space was because gravity. They consider that if the Earth stops rotating human should not fly off and nothing should change. Whether human would stay on earth or not would depend on the speed earth stops rotating. 

For beginners earth would now take nearly a year to do what it performs in a day (cycle from night to day and back). Cities would spend half of the year in dimness and half of the year in sunbeams. Also every region in the world would experience different seasons which might vary with temperature swings from season to season.  Spinning of the earth doesn't affect earth’s gravity; it only produces an outward with a similar experience in going on a merry-go-round. In reality if the rotation of the earth is much faster than now, then we may all on a free space trip together. 

In my point of view, human beings would remain on earth if the change happens slowly. In simple terms if the earth jams to a close you can guess what would happen. In contrast if it stops slowly and humans survive then people will be able to view the observations happening in climate, tides, duration of day-night, changes in wind directions and ocean etc.

An equatorial area would spend very hot months very close to the sun. The matching part would spend dark or freezing for months. That's trouble for the plants and animals and people who live in those areas to adapt to the new surrounding with newer things.

Earth rotates centrifugal force causes the planet to prominence along the equator. Without that prominence extra water held primed along the equator would go quickening back toward the poles.  Equatorial bulge subsided by a band of giant which separates two massive oceans to the north and the south.
Humans are an adaptable species with powerful technology who survive in new environment would by achieving the challenge successfully. People could attempt to bright homes which are in the darkness and heat or cool homes during natural temperature swings. Although human survive can crops survive in this new world? This is a good question to answer at this point. If the plants cannot endure the entire food chain would be in danger obviously.


I don't know whether we could be able to find new crops for the existing fellows to stand in this new environment. Else we would become dependents on constants that come again with warm weather. 

Where do our thoughts come from?

There are many thoughts that pop into our mind. You may wonder where do they come from and what makes them appear at that given moment? It may be difficult to list all of the places our thoughts come from because there are so many ways. Most of the time, you get thoughts from others and you can understand it from the next section with detailed facts. Certainly they come from past own/ family experience, knowledge you have considered and stored in own memory. They are also generated by our emotions and five senses mainly.

Aside from these you also get thought from the old generation or external experience and event. Some may say we have an internal thought generator as well. Our own thoughts come from our own brains. No gods/ people are involved. Why do human beings think what they think? Thoughts which are generated by spirit coming for observation through the filter of created beliefs. Our thoughts come from our genes, environment, education and our brain chemistry. Science has shown that we do not always have the power to control our thoughts.

When I am straightening out with peace, mind is open to new thoughts. I sometimes get thoughts that are flooded and event I can’t possibly write them all down fast before I forget most of them. This is the normal way of human being’s remembrance capacity. That will help me to write poems, stories, essays etc.  As you all know, brains are split down in the middle into two halves. They can work together on a common string and the awareness exists excluding the things we are mindful of. We are responsive of thoughts and feelings and those are not generated on purpose. Human has verbal and graphic thoughts.  But also have a thought generator that throws thoughts into the perception that are independent from the spirit. Feelings, emotions and sensations are as well consists to a human. They generate via the feelings generator.


Most people describe themselves with ordinary pattern of thought and emotional responses to events. The evidence to these remains in mind and relives. Spirit is the generator of thoughts and emotions and sensations and it is the storehouse of knowledge and not sufficiently expert of knowing the knowledge. It also cannot initiate changes in its activities but it is open to change from influences proceeding from the suggestions in environment which are showing at the right time.

Determination can decide which thoughts, feelings and actions will be acceptable, but cannot generate thoughts and lack the power to carry out the acts it indicates to take place. On the other hand, the spirit has the power to generate thoughts, feelings. Power is not an attribute of the strength of character.

Coffee to Be a Successful Weight Loss Tool

In my opinion coffee has a unique consequence on the human body. Coffee has been found to motivate weight loss to a certain amount. Also it makes people growing weight instead of losing it. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. There is no substitute for exercising and a healthy diet when trying to lose weight but coffee could be a marvelous assistance. Drinking too much coffee can become addictive.

When you are drinking a cup of coffee your body responds to it. Caffeine is powerful chemical refreshment that provides increased attentiveness. Coffee has been found to reduce hunger.  It is necessary not to skip daily meals because of the coffee. This will slow down your metabolic rate, leading to weight gain.


When you are dieting, coffee might help you to lose some weight. But be careful while consuming in some aspects. First of all, do not drink your coffee with sugar, chocolate or full-fat milk. In my view point, it is better to go with low-fat milk, because it contains less fat and more nutrients and calcium. 


According to the researchers conducted heavy coffee drinkers will quickly add up, leading to weight gain by calories rather than weight loss. Coffee is positively the accurate selection to lose weight because it increases metabolism and translates into an enhanced weight loss process. Drinking a cup of coffee every single day can help you lose weight. If you combine that with regular exercises, 9 hours of sleep each night and a healthy diet even you can lose more weight. 


If you prefer to drink coffee, try to arrange own drink of coffee at home in order to avoid any other high caloric additions or flavored syrups added to it when preparing coffee. Coffee has many of the vitamins and minerals while providing important benefits.


     ·         Reduces Cancer Risks
Drinking coffee is a positive sight of decreasing in the chances of developing cancer. Moreover it means you have lower chance of getting numerous types of cancers like liver cancer. The odds of getting colon, breast, and rectal cancers decline as well. Caffeine in coffee offers many benefits to enhance chances of staying cancer-free.
    ·         Prevents Diabetes
Heavy coffee drinks have a smaller chance of developing type 2 diabetes compared to light or non-drinkers. Getting type 2 diabetes can be decreased by drinking more than 2 cups of coffee a day. The minerals in coffee help us to use up the body’s insulin, the substance that controls blood sugar. People with diabetes lose their ability to utilize their insulin.
    ·         Counters Heart Disease and Stroke Risks
Coffee drinkers are less likely than non-drinkers to develop heart disease. Type 2 diabetes leads to heart disease and with less of a chance of getting diabetes comes a reduced risk of heart disease. Also lowers the risks of heart disease and stroke as well as the occurrence of heart rhythm disturbances.
    ·         Burning Calories
Finally, coffee can be a major tool in fat-burning effort. Coffee can have huge impacts on the look of the body. The reason is dual purpose. Those who drink a lot of coffee have been shown to drink far fewer calories than non-drinkers. Fewer calories taken in can obviously lead to weight loss.

The secret behind the coffee is that it is the presence of antioxidants which eliminate free radicals in the body while preventing the creation of a number of diseases.

Value of Black Tea

Tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world. According to the researchers conducted, tea is ranked in to the second most consumed drink. Tea has three famous kinds like green, oolong and black.

Tea provide consumers with a lot of health benefits such as memory preservation, aid in diarrhea, diabetes, and better health condition in general. Some other benefits of black tea are enhancing blood transmission and absorption.
Black tea is a great source of caffeine and L-theanine. ztherefore, you get the exciting murmur of coffee and encouraging properties of tea. It also contains essential oils and polyphenols that fight free radicals and very rich in black tea. Polyphenols intend to motivate gastric juices while improving the digestive regions task to break down food. Also Tannins have a relaxing effect for the digestive system.

People with weight problems are also advised to have their daily intake of black tea. This helps their digestion and for easier burning of oily acids from food. There are a million and one ways to drink the black tea. Some of them are add honey, cinnamon or milk. If you have a digestive quandary, you may possibly wish for drinking it plain to maximize its benefits. As stated by doctors, keep black tea consumption to a maximum of 4 to 5 cups per day to avoid digestive issues. 



Consuming in overload of this may result in unlikable symptoms and lead to discomfort due to upset stomach. Too much drinking of black tea may reverse its effect that can even affect a person’s bowel movements.

Black tea aids in heart problems, asthma, cholesterol, breast cancer and long life. Black tea also clears blood vessels that help prevent cardiovascular diseases. Researches show that people who drink 3 to 4 cups of tea have lesser chances of having heart problems compared to people who do not drink tea at all. Tea also helps in raising the level of globulin hormones during the menstrual cycle.

Importance of Brown Rice

Most of us got used to eat white rice. However, brown rice is a much better choice because it is packed with nutrients that help to improve our health. 

Brown rice is a good source of selenium, manganese, and anti-oxidants. Also it is rich in fiber and helps you to lose weight and helps to lower the risk of diabetes. Therefore you should always favor brown rice over white rice. General opinion among researchers is that brown rice has greater health benefits compared to white rice.


Rice is considered as food of the half the people around the world. In Sri Lanka, China, India etc rice is the most consumed daily meal of the day. However, what most people around the world eat is white rice. 





In white rice, majority of essential nutrients are lost because of the milling and polishing involved in separating the grain from the core. It has been scientifically proven that the process to obtain a grain of white rice from the kernel destroys a major portion of essential nutrients like Vitamin B3, B1, iron etc. 




Brown rice is obtained by removing the outer layer of the kernel or lesser polishing and milling. This outer layer is known as husk. Therefore it is able to preserve most of its nutrients. This is why most of the dietitians and nutritionists around the world advise people to eat more of brown rice in their daily meals.



Health benefits of eating brown rice:

·         Rich in Manganese
The food we eat is used to produce energy. Manganese is one component of antioxidant enzyme which is really necessary in the process of producing energy. It helps the digestive system in breaking down proteins and carbohydrates. Manganese keeps these free radicals in check, thereby preventing any damage to the body. Manganese is also essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system.

·         Helps in Prevention of Colon Cancer

Selenium is a mineral which is significant in reducing colon cancer. It has been found that our daily diets are low in selenium. Selenium is beneficial in the prevention of heart diseases, asthma and arthritis.

High amount of calcium can be harmful for the body. Respond to the poor effects of calcium our diet should have sufficient amounts of magnesium in it. Brown rice is rich in magnesium.

Fiber is very essential for the overall health to prevent diabetes and heart diseases.

Can internet friends be real friends?

I have noticed that with technological development our friends have drastically increased.  You might call these friends as internet friends because most of them you I haven’t met before. They are the real friends that we talk online or in person.  Those friends may be found in conversations with other friends in Twitter, Google+ etc or in-jokes or in sharing advice or a listening ear when we need too.
The problem with internet friendships comes when I have to explain them to real friends and family. But how can they be your friend if you've never met them? This is a good question rising today’s society. Actually what do you really have to talk about them?  The answers may be endless and you know what the answer for you.  
When I get into use of computer with internet facility I became available most of the time over internet.  I was in chat-rooms aged 15 making good friends. Earlier both parties traveled for miles so that we could meet each other to share experience.  
Times have changed and technology has become a daily part of our lives.  Without internet there is no friend with the current busy life. With the computer we can go online and make friends through the conversation and effort. We meet so many people through Twitter, Google +, Skype and also we lead to meeting them in real life as well.  
I never met some of my friends but don’t mean I don’t carry them around with me in conversations. Internet friends became more important in some occasions possibly because of our shared love of travel, education etc.  

A lot of us share the same dream of being able to live the life.  That doesn’t meant that my ‘real’ friends were any less important to me as a whole but we all become more and less useful to each other at certain points in friendships.
