What I am going to write is nothing new .Just common sense<\/p>\n

.I am writing this Opinion in the car\u00a0 travelling to office from Kotte to the Mutwal Harbour to give kick start to the daily work commencement \u00a0.If I do not go early \u00a0 \u00a0( or give impression to my low level managers and workers that I may turn up 7.00\u00a0 am \u00a0any time early) they tend to take things easy .<\/p>\n

I m travelling in the car and my driver drive uses the brake to drive instead of accelerator ! and stopping slowing down frequently along the way thru the city .<\/p>\n

I cannot tolerate this agony daily in getting stuck in traffic<\/p>\n

.If I decide to leave late there is no Electricity at home \u00a0and it is quite warm<\/p>\n

What I do is get into the car in the front ,put on the car Air conditioning and put my lap top on top of my lap\u201d and connect my broadband thru either hot spot\u201d of the smart phone or ,using the broad band dongle from Dialog\u00a0 and get into Internet and reply to all my mails which came last evening and or send emails to my managers on important issues .<\/p>\n

I write opinions to paper as I see the mess we are in when we travel to work,for \u00a0example\u00a0 a water leak in Rajagiriya for last few days and Water Board is not attending to repairs or the poor man\u2019s travelling companion three wheeler\u201d which I call a menace .and how they break every traffic rule and create chaos ,traffic light off due to power cut or wise policeman remotely putting them off, or passing Kollonnawa sometimes feeling the bad smell from the garbage dump, traffic jams created by unruly drivers ( some time wearing \u00a0a tie like me !) .<\/p>\n

My AC is on \u00a0and \u00a0,broadband is on I work efficiently during 1-1.5 hours to work an 1-2 hours back home,and I do not get irritated for people breaking traffic rules except keep telling my driver not to drive using the brake all the time .He says that Sir I cannot help ”<\/p>\n

One might say Oh you have \u00a0a car \u00a0and driver and a mobile broadband ,!!!<\/p>\n

We are not so effluent?\u201d<\/p>\n

Now a days everyone has a \u00a0tablet or tap top ,school children and middles class executives , and if you are in the bus or train you have a \u00a0“driver ”<\/p>\n

If you drive to work with your wife or over 18 child let them drive .<\/p>\n

I will guarantee that Your efficiency will go up \u00a0and youe will nor get heart attacks ( which I got at 50 and now healthy after a bypass)<\/p>\n

Now all offices do not have generators therefore ,when you go obviously no fans ,no AC and it is hot and \u00a0some computers do not work<\/p>\n

Take you annual holiday and go to Sinharaja or to you village where you do not need any of above !!<\/p>\n

I mentioned in one of hard hitting opinion that we cannot depend on state to supply everything as they are failing<\/p>\n

I AM REACHING MY DESTINATIONN \u00a0AMD\u00a0 HAVE DONE \u00a0SOMETHING FOR THE DAY<\/p>\n
