2. Vignaraja told me that he was offered a donkey to ride near the steep slippery slopes, but he preferred to walk.

3. Wedisinghe our batch-mate's other name is Manasara. He told me that his father named him after the sacred Lake.

TO BE , OR NOT TO BE !

----------Think of the economy- become fat-

Sanjay Thakrar, CEO at Euro Exim Bank Ltd. got economists thinking when he said:

“A cyclist is a disaster for a country's economy. He does not buy a car and does not take a car loan. Does not buy car insurance. Does not buy fuel. Does not send his car for servicing and repairs. Does not use paid parking. Does not pay Road Tax. Does not become obese.

Yes,.....and well, damn it!! Healthy people are not needed for an economy. They do not buy drugs. They do not go to hospitals and doctors. They add nothing to a country's GDP.

On the contrary, every new McDonalds outlet creates at least 30 jobs: 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 weight-loss experts apart from people working in McDonalds outlets.

Choose wisely: A cycle or a McDonalds? Worth thinking."

Walking is even worse. Those people do not even buy a bicycle.
