		<description><![CDATA[We, Sri Lankans, use the &#8220;Western Calendar&#8221; (formally known as the Gregorian calendar) for most of the practical day-to-day activities like the rest of the world. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect our celebrating the beginning of the calendar year. Recently, with the influence of ICT, I see a trend of celebrating this new year <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roshan.wordpress.com&amp;blog=58224&amp;post=66&amp;subd=roshan&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As most of you know, I am a University Lecturer by profession. With the introduction of the course unit system in our Universities, the prominence given to elective courses, where you allow a particular student to choose her/his courses from a pool of courses has increased tremendously. Theoretically, this is a really good move and <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roshan.wordpress.com&amp;blog=58224&amp;post=47&amp;subd=roshan&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I always wondered about the skills a presenter exhibits and the information (s)he presents that attract people. First of all, it is obvious that a good presentation should be an interesting one. Given that I am a lecturer my profession, I always believed that making an interesting presentation is part of making a good one. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roshan.wordpress.com&amp;blog=58224&amp;post=30&amp;subd=roshan&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
