Sri Lanka to Import Electricity from India
Energy crisis has reached its peak in Sri Lanka. Day by day need for energy in Sri Lanka is escalating, but the supply is insufficient. Nowadays Sri Lankans are enjoying electricity bills (??). In whole Asia, Sri Lankans are paying highest bills than any other nations. Sri Lankan government is seeking for several alternatives and come up with several ways to solve this problem out.
- Coal Plant
- Import Electricity
Government has taken initiations to build Coal power plant in Trincomalee and Nuraicholai. It is a long term project so we can’t be expecting it to start and work from tomorrow. Also it’s strongly opposed by environmentalist that it’ll cause harm to the environment, but do we have an alternative other than accepting this project?
Latest hot news in energy sector of Sri Lanka is Electricity import from India. Indian government has agreed to offer power from Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Cables under the sea will be built and reception center are expected to build in Anuradhapura and Mannar. Government says it’ll bring down the cost for the electricity production. Feasible studies are undergoing and constructions are expected to start by next month.
I’m pretty sure; India will love this initiation as they can boost their influence in Sri Lanka.

Tibet Should be FREE
Japan, China, Singapore, these are the three nations that I admire in Asia along with India. These are the nations that showed the world, what Asians can do? We can do better than you! Singapore is a tiny nation which is rejected by Malaysia, but now today it is one of the most powerful economies in the world. It’s showing the courage and willingness and commitment of Singaporeans. In the other hand Japan, as we all know, developed into a developed nation after the devastating World War II.
India is another nation which is a role model for accepting and enjoying the diversity. I know there are some ethnical issues in India, but compare to countries like Sri Lanka they are far far better.
China is one of the super powers in our region and has the potential to challenge any nation in the world. Especially Chinese authorities have a good relationship with Sri Lankan government. Even during Indo-china war Sri Lankan government supported Chinese. I always admired this nation, and its Iron ruling policy. I talked with many Chinese people. They all say “I have no issues living it China. I have everything and I’m fine out there. I like Chinese government”.
So it seems that Chinese people like the government but not the western authorities.
These days burning issue in CNN and BBC is the riots in Tibet. What is actually happening in Tibet? I was reading several materials and I found that china invaded this small nation. The leader Dalai Lama has flown to India. New Delhi welcomed him with two hands.
Now Chinese government blaming that Dalai Lama is directing the riots in Tibet using his cliques. Also Chinese government saying that for the unity of China, Taiwan and Tibet is important for them. Still china has no influence in Taiwan. Taiwan which is enjoying the company of USA is so far safe from super power China.
Here my point is, if set of people or an ethnic group doesn’t want to live with the mother nation then what is the point of keeping them using control? It will lead to the development of up going riots.
TIBET SHOULD BE A FREE INDEPENDENT NATION

Adobe Air: use your online apps offline
Adobe has launched software designed to make it easier for computer users to use online applications offline. Adobe Air allows developers to build tools that still have some functionality even when a computer is no longer connected to the net. A free download will allow users of Macs, PCs and, later this year, Linux machines to run any Air applications. The first programs that use the technology, developed by web sites such as eBay, have already been released. “Air is going to allow applications that run on the web today - that run in the browser - to be brought down to the desktop,” Andrew Shorten, platform evangelist at Adobe told BBC News. “It’s about taking existing web applications and adding extra functionality whether you want to work offline or whether you want to access data on your disk.”
Mr Shorten said that the technology is not about replacing the web browser. “It’s about delivering the best experience depending on where you are and what you need to get from the application, ” he said. “If I’m on the road with my laptop maybe I want to use the desktop version of my application. If I pop into an internet cafe I can still access it through the browser.” The software is part of a growing number of technologies that aim to make the transition between the on and offline worlds seamless. In 2006, Microsoft unveiled its Silverlight technology. And last year Google launched Gears. The tool does not allow the creation of new content but does allow web applications to be used offline.
