Golden moments of Sri Lankan cricket

Sri Lanka's 1st ever Test Cricket Match 1982 Day 1

I found this rare video on youtube. This is the first day highlights of Sri Lanka's first ever test with England. I was 7 years old at that time and still remember the event. We did not have a TV at that time; most people didn't and people followed cricket on radio. Have a look you will see a skinny Ranathunga, likes of Wettimuny, Mendis and Madugalle battling against Willis and Botham.

Buddhism and science

I thought of putting more into this blog and post daily (at least try to do so) .

Here's a great mp3 by Ajahn Bramawamso that I would recommend anyone interested in looking at Buddhism from a scientific point of view. He derives insight from his past as a theoretical physist at Cambridge before becoming a monk.

Weather in California

California is known as a sunny state. That was my impression of California before arriving here. Here in Bay Area it has been far from sunny during the past few days. The temperature is dropping as we approach the winter and sky is cloudy and it's dark and gloomy.

Right now at 9:55p.m the temperature outside 7 degrees Celcius. FYI it's 45 degrees Farenheight.
I still find it difficult to think in F as I'm used to C.

The following weather report was generated by Yahoo.
