VV 2002 batch get-together

A bunch of girls from the 2002 A/L batch from Visakha Vidyalaya met after 5 years at the Austasia Sports club yesterday, and had a wonderful time! I was very lucky to be one of them.

So much has happened over the years.
Most of them have jobs now in banks, airlines, labs, hospitals, schools, insuarance companies, software development companies, and the list goes on...
Some have got married, some of them also have children and some are even pregnant now!
Some like me are still in universities, medical faculties, law colleges etc.
Some are doing external degrees, CIMA, CIM, SLIM, Beauty culture stuff, etc.

WoW! It was so nice to hear all those stories after such a long time.

Here are some of the pictures from the get together. (Btw, if any of those of you who took pics at yesterday's event have uploaded your pictures anywhere and is reading this, please send me (oshanis [at] gmail.com) a mail with the link)

This is Randima in the pic on the left and Ishani (former DHP) in the pic down - the organizers of the get-together talking what we could do now to our alma-mater.

BTW Gami (the other DHP) is also in the picture. However her face is covered by the lampshade.

A committee was appointed to plan future activities. Sara and Myself are also in the committee. We are in charge of building an online forum/web site to keep in touch.

Class reps were also appointed to get all the people organized together. It was a tad hard to remember which class we were in BTW :).


And here's Janani (in blue top) giving her idea about doing some community work for the people who got displaced by the war.
So, the idea is to collect rations and deliver it to the people in need. Janani is working at a humanitarian organization, therefore she knows what is needed.


And here are some other pictures from the party that followed.

Switching from Bloglines

For a while I have being using Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com/blog/oshani), and honestly I had served my all blogging purposes. Anyway, one of the major drawbacks of that is that it does not allow any comments.

So, I thought of swiching to Blogger. After all I could sign in with my Google Account, and it seems to be having some advanced features.
