Some people were born with records. I can remember sometimes ago Athena Onassis de Miranda was the
world youngest Billianror at the age of 07.
She was the granddaughter of
Aristotle Onassis and she inherited 50 % of the of the Aristotle Onassis’s
wealth. But Onassis de Miranda married Brazilian Olympic show jumper
Álvaro de Miranda Neto in 2005. She did not change her name as well now she has
over 3 billion wealth at the age of 30.
What
else those who does not born without records. Does it make we are very normal
average ordinary people? It should not be the same way we can keep some records
if we really wanted.
As a
country we have interesting record. We have the first female prime minister in
the whole world, which is an unbeatable record. We have two Olympic medal
holders as well world cricket champions.
Recently
Sri Lankan together made a record making world number one Google sex searches.
Internet is not widely available in rural areas in Sri Lanka. By the time we
were number one google sex searching nations in the whole world government did
not provide WI-FI zones very much. Basically most of the hard work done by
office working Sri Lankan's through their desktops. That records actually a
symbol of Sri Lanka. We defeated countries over Billions of population such as
China and India. How much hard work we have done to archive it.
Also we
did made the world largest milk rice under the supervision of celebrity chef
Dr.T. Pabilis Silva, but unfortunately
Sri Lankan now turns into burgers and fried rice nation. Large quantity of
world largest Milk rice threw away when it gone badly.
Those
are all group attempts of united Sri Lankans. Our Prime Minister Mr Ranil
Wickramasinghe recently made record for being selected as a prime minister for
forth times. This time he defeated a record which is 118 years old previously
held by British Prime minister William Ewart Gladstone December 1809 –1898.
I think
he might have chance of renew this record in future. Still he is in his
sixties. But he need our support to renew this record…will see how it going to
work in four years.
However
there are certain people who really like of having record individually.Understanding this mentality of this kind of people the Guinness book
of record committee have placed their representative throughout the world.
The
first Sri Lankan Guinness record holder
was Suresh Joachim In 1991, Joachim's first record attempt involved
running in his hometown of Colombo, Sri Lanka for at least a little bit every
hour for 1000 consecutive hours, (August 19-September 26, 1996; 42 days),
totaling a distance of 3,495 km.
On his
second attempt for record breaking, Joachim traveled 225.44 km, up and down
escalators at the Westfield Burwood Shopping Centre, Burwood, New South Wales,
Australia. Joachim next balanced for 76 hours and 40 minutes at Vihara Maha
Devi Park Open Air Stadium, in Sri Lanka.
Also he
did not forget his wedding day.
It was held at Christ the King Catholic Church,
Mississauga, Ontario. The wedding featured record 79 bridesmaids, a record 47
groomsmen, and a record 60.09 m (197 ft. 1 in) long wedding bouquet, held by
the bride. Not too bad. I guess this was much better than the movie “26 Dresses”.
Few days ago In Sri Lanka we lost another record holder. He is a Karate sports
player. He had several record of being tough including breaking concrete cubes
by bare hand, and so and so.Somehow it claims he has 10 Guinness records .He
was a tough guy but not anymore ,a group of people had beaten him to his death. The tough Guy lost his last
breath at Anuradhpura Hospital.
I have
seen very philosophical disciplined simple martial art expert in Kung Fu. The
movies are always deceptive in many ways. Later I saw karate kid movie series
where we see good and bad martial art teachers, students.
The Sri
Lankan Toughest guy who had 10 world records claims to be a karate champion.He
has his long term connections with international as well specially with Japan.
We all
know that the pride comes before fall, but in life very few has courage to
accept it.Same as with the Sri Lanka toughest guy.But he did not think of start
an academy of Karate or make discipline among youths. As my
understanding shaolin temple monks are vegetarians as well nonsmokers and don’t
consume any alcohol. Karate or Kung-Fu even Taekwondo sports with disciplines.
I'm a green belt holder in Karate, Still I
remember our first lesson was Karate not meant to be attack some one.it s
always preventing attackes. The master who though us clearly stated to prevent
any danger we all have to be keep our mind always clear.
The
moment I grow up I never ended up being a vegetarian or nonalcoholic, but I m a
nonsmoker. Happy for me…
Anuradhapura it’s an ancient city as well it’s one
of the most sacred pilgrim sites to Sri Lankan Buddhist. But Anuradhapura
not a peaceful town. Anuradhpura belongs to the dry zone and its capital of
north central province. My father somehow very much likes Anuradhpura. One of his favorite place was 40 km away from Anuradhapura town.Some people like the dry and harsh weather.
During
Sri Lankan civil war Anuradhapura town was the only civil town just after the combat
zone. Soldiers those who on their vacation made this town into a resort town. Everything
what a soldier does not have at war was in the Anuradhapura Town for very law
end price. Even before the war Anuradhapura town had provided all services those
who visited as pilgrims.
It had many hotels, lodging places or any accommodations at every scale of price. But Anuradhapura
never had a night club. The first night club opened in Anuradhapura belongs to
this Sri Lankans toughest guy.Apart from the world records he was good breed of violence .His father
was an infamous criminal in 1970 and he was executed by the government.
However
with the help of some politician he has opened thins night club. Actually the night
club culture is plugged into Sri Lankan society with the introduction of Open
economy. We have several night clubs based on commercial capital Colombo. In
western culture Night club is more like a meeting place to adults. There we can
go with girlfriends or partners, But Sri Lanka any decent man never think of
taking their girlfriends or partners. Most of the night clubs are well known
territories for each and every abusive work. The Anuradhapura
night club members were mainly school children, the waitress were found out nearby
with very low daily wedge.
I can
write another complete blog about Sri Lankan night clubs, I’ll do it somewhere
in future. Somehow this Anuradhapura Night had become a terror of that area. As
a result of this long chain process incidents there are about 20 people
organized and came to the night club and attacked .Well it only Bruse Lee and
David Caradeen able to fight with group of people alone, the tough Guy lost his
life. He was beaten to death.
Someone
else death will never make me happy, but this news does not make me sad either.
The lord Buddha clearly stated five professions that an average Buddhist should
have avoided.
‘Samma
Ajeewa’ is a word in ancient Pali language, meaning ‘Right Livelihood’ that
emphasizes on earning one’s livelihood and acquiring wealth in a righteous and
wholesome manner that is moral and ethical. Right Livelihood is one of the
principles of the Noble Eight Fold Path taught by the lord Buddha. There are
five things clearly mentioned in Buddhism saying that should avoid by trading.
Such as selling drugs, selling poison, selling flesh or killed animal meat,
selling weapons and selling people as slaves.
The Lord
Buddha was far ahead than President Abraham Lincoln. Over.Over 2500 years ago Lord
Buddha condemned selling people as slaves. At lease President Abraham Lincoln
abolished the Slavery in 19th Century but I’m very sure any of the
weapon producers will never think of stop trading weapons for another centuries.
Forget
about the world. If this world record holder had learnt something from his father
life he would have follow something else. Also if he had learnt anything out of
martial arts or Karate than the mussel power his life would have never ended up
like this.
