Looking foward to spread my wings again with a new hobby. This is one of my first photos taken from Canon 400D camera with 20-200mm lens. I always wanted to take a photo of a bird flying. I really love flora and fauna but here, where I live now I hardly see such beauty. I'm so happy with my first photo.
Last few days I was reading about positive thinking and I really thought positively. Even before reading this I like positive thinking. But now I'm fed up with writing in this blog. Because I can't write good English as some people says. I'm never gonna write again. Thanks for those who appreciated my writing.
Cheers
The call of “Koha” and bloom of Erabadu flowers indicate that the Sinhala Hindu New Year (known as Avurudu) is approaching. Everyone is happy during this period and they are getting ready to make sweetmeats. Children are happy to play during their school vacation and they receive gifts from parents and relatives.
Although we are far apart from Sri Lanka and missed some activities we also celebrated Avurudu in some way. Last Friday we participated in a New Year festival organized by “Pawura Kala Kawaya”. One of our friends’ (Nilanga) is the secretary of Pawura Kala Kawaya” and he invited us to come to Safa Park Avurudu festival. Early in the morning we went there with the milk rice we prepared to be distributed among guests. Although we expected few people to be present, about 6000 people were present.
There were numerous activities for both children and adults like blow and blast balloons, Break the pot, Eating buns, draw the eye of the elephant, Eating curd, passing eggs, running events, tug of war, last but not the least Selecting Avurudu kumara and kumariya. I also participated in 50m running, but I couldn’t win. I’m not sad for not being able to win, but I am happy for the time we spent there. One of our friends’ (Asker) won male 50m running and we all wished him. We could have won tug and war also but unfortunately we lost one before the last game.
We returned home discussing how best to celebrate the New Year day. In my next post I’ll write how we celebrated it.

Last Thursday (20th March) we had a cricket match with another Sri Lankan team called “Pawura”. Ours is called G 15+, in which the name originates from the team comprising of 15 members and plus indicating their wives. It was held in a ground near Safa park and I have nothing to complain about their organizations for the match. There was a tent for us to sit in, food and drinks were also provided.
Despite burning from the sun I managed to take few shots of our team playing cricket.
We have won one match against QS cricket team and having that pride in mind we played this match as well. But unfortunately we lost this match owing to many reasons. But however we learnt our lessons that day and thought to practice well for the next match and never to underestimate the opposite team.
This Friday we have been invited to cheer QS cricket team playing in Ajman. Transpotation and food will be provided by them. We are eager to cheer them and visit this part of UAE as we have not gone that far.
“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else;
And for everything you gain you lose something else.
It is about your out look towards life; you can either regret or rejoice.”

While working on my previous company I came across this concept called Search engine optimization (SEO). This was a new concept to me at that time and I did a lot of researching and gathered information on that.
Search engines are a very important source of quality traffic for web based companies. But if your site is not ranked high enough on the search engines (e.g. after the third page of the search result), none of that traffic will come to you. Another great way to attract targeted traffic is through Pay-Per-Click Search Engines.
Search Engine Optimization is the process of preparing your website so that search engines can better understand its content and/or purpose. To get listed correctly in the search engines each page of your site needs to be optimized. Your site must be focused on the content, products, or services you provide. Keywords used in the content are very important to have a high rank in search engines.

Here are some traditional places to keep keywords,
Use specific keyword phrases,
Google is one such search engine in which most users do keywords searching. But there is something you need to keep in mind. Google is constantly changing their ranking criteria because of search engine spam. If you put the same keyword phrase in many of those spots, you might very well trigger a spam filter which is not good for the long run of your site. Therefore the best advice I can give you is to do your SEO without any particular formula in mind.
Google’s PageRank algorithm tests to see how often a web page is updated and the length of time between changes in content. Access the below URL to read more on page rankings.

In order to make your site crawler friendly you need to make sure that you always have some form of HTML links in the main navigation on every page which link to the top-level pages of your site.
Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site. Sitemap does not guarantee that web pages are included in search engines, but provides hints for web crawlers to do a better job of crawling your site.
Use specific keyword phrases,
- in the domain name
- in the file name
- in the Title tag
- in the Meta description tag
- in the Meta keyword tag or in the image alt attributes
- in an H1 (or any H) tag
- as the first words on the page
- in bold and/or italics or a different color
- multiple times in the first paragraph or twice on the page
- in the copy in every single spot on the page where it might possibly make sense to use it, and
- in all the hyperlinks pointing to a page.
