About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, teach, be happy!

ABOUT ME

I like to view my self as (or I want to be) a polymath. I am a doctor, educator, programmer, writer, traveller, amateur archeologist, amature photographer, raconteur and a computer scientist.

I'm strong willed, optimistic, sceptical, unorthodox and quick tempered.

I strongly believe in equity, justice and universal human dignity.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes me and others happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We love hosting people at our home near Kandy, Sri Lanka. Unfortunately we are not there always. So whenever we meet people whose plans tally with ours we host.
Once in a while we travel too and we love to stay with fellow couch surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and surfed several times. All people I have met till now have been wonderful and many have become good friends with whom we communicate regularly.
It's a great way to get to know people and the world itself!

Interests

A summary of my knowledge on different subjects (according to me) ;

Medical sciences - excellent paediatrics, good working knowledge on surgery and medicine, can survive gynaecology and obstetrics
Computer programming - jack of all trades but master of none
History and archaeology - from extensive reading
Photography -€œ whatever output that comes from my Cybershot W100 or Nokia 5800 that I think is good to look at
Natural sciences -€œ good understanding of the basics with continuous improvement in advanced topics
Social Sciences - no formal education, only knowledge gained via reading
Computer science -€œ masters level knowledge on all major topics
Mathematics - bits and pieces gathered, trying to improve on
Philosophy -€œ Continuously read on
Fine arts - can draw, can listen to but dare not produce music
Commerce - knowledge almost nil
