Bee HERE!!!

Hi all... Welcome to the blog-world of the HoneyBee...

Blogging...
I didn't even know (and didn't even care) what this is all about although I knew the meaning of the word itself. But during the past two weeks or so I happened to read some of the blogs posted by some of my "wild-friends" (what's so wild about them... will come to that later...) sharing their thoughts, and this gave me the first kick to explore what Blogging is all about. So as a result here I am creating my own "BeeLOG" (blog) world!

about my wild friends...

Birding (Bird watching), Camping, exploring nature and all the Wild things associated with them has been my hobby since I started my graduate studies at University of Moratuwa. If anyone think this is waste of time... blame on them...my wild friends... they are responsible for making me addicted...
I didn't have this hobby and didn't know the fantasy of exploring nature while I was schooling. Besides Music, I had anyones childhood default hobby of Collecting Stamps. Scouting and camping were one of my dream interests at that time...but I couldn't do it as I had to switch on to Science College, Matale from Christ Church College and the former did not have scouting in it!!! (It was more focused on education only with a limited number of extra curricular activities, but now being far more better!!!)
But I was fortunate to meet Himesh (well known as "Kurulla" in our batch) who taught me the ABC's of birding and at the mean time I had my first ever birding experience at reversten, Matale guided by Kashyapa (a medical student of University of Peradeniya by that time...got to know through the Hewage brothers, Sanjaya and Sameera.
Thanks to the societies "Nature team" and the "World University Service",I was able to recover my childhood dream of camping and exploring the wild during my university life. Since then the number of "wild friends" of mine has been keeping on increasing... Bayya, Daasa, Kawwa, Galaa, Saj, Wanni, Alaya, Gona, Anjula, Ruwani being a very few of them.
After all I don't think it has been a waste of time being with my "Wild Friends" as I have gained a lot...


Nature, Wildlife, Environment, photography, history, traveling, pollution, Engineering, Biology, Architecture, Science & Technology... any subject you name...there's something to discover while being with them...
