Writing without technicality
Recently I was asked to write an article for an magazine. The magazine was to publish along with an event at the University. As I mentioned in my first article, I have the reluctant to write right from the skeleton. This has made me try to avoid writing the article. Two days before a junior who is in the organizing committee called me and asked for the article.
Worried a lot of not doing this before and struggling to find time I started writing the article.
That article was about a trip. Initially I expect this to be much technical one with all the scientific data along the experiences we gain at the trip. but as I go on I found that I am not that sound to write down fact for a magazine. Writing facts to the public has to be done with the greater concern and knowledge.
So I had to write my article in artistic manner by adding some descriptions what we see and with some humor.
The article indeed turned out as a god one. That is my initial and final full reading.
I am waiting for the published version of the magazine........

Driving License.....
A day at the Dept of Motor traffic
A Driving licence is a must in Sri Lanka to drive a vehicle. To get a driving license a candidate has to face a MCQ test and a Practical
test. The MCQ test checks the knowladge of the candidate on the road signs and the road safety, while the practical test is fro the driving
ability and the road ethics.
Apart from that the application should be submitted with a medical report, copy of the birth certificate and some photos.
The practical test is inspected by a agent from the department and there are pre defined areas to be looked in to of a candidate by the
inspector.
The whole process appears like a well assuared one to select most trustworthy, loyal and efficient drivers. Well that is for an outsider.
But for a person who lives in or have visited Sri Lanka must have hundreds of examples to say that is not true.
Lets star from the begining,
There is a lot of room for a person to learn how to drivr a vehicle. The vehicle can be a Bus, Car, Motor bicycle or a Three wheeler. Other
than that there are number of driving schools all over the country. I never had the opportunity of learning dirving though we had a vehicle
at home since childhood. I dint had time to hang around the my fathers van as I was a rare visitor since 1991.
Recently I had the intereset of getting a driving license. So I joined a driving school.
Learning part is a pleasant one provided you have join a good school and learn under a good instructor. I was blessed with that ease.
After a certain number of lessons I was required to submit my application to the. The application shouold be submitted along with a
medical report from a authorised doctor. I had the difficulty of finding a one. So I asked from my driving school for a one who they knows.
They gave me a address of a clinic. The Doctor was alady at Rathmalana. Whn I go there I was expecting a medical check up at least for the
vision pressure. But this lady kept on asking questions on my health from me and filled the form based on what I said. The charge 250 rupees.
When I was waiting for the report at the lobby I had a look at all the notices on tha wall. "My god!!!" I am in a clinic for children!!!!!
Ok every doctor is a doctor. So they could be able to provide a basic medical checkup.
A couple of weeks after I have received a admission letter to the written exam.
