Art of Living




It was our last PPD lesson for this semester .We were informed that we are having a lecture which will be conducted by a visiting lecturer. He was Dr. Ajith Rohana Colonne .At first we thought that this will be another normal lecture for us, but we were wrong. Dr. Colonne shared his valuable experiences with us. The most amazing fact is that some of our colleagues who frequently fell asleep in lecturers didn’t sleep in this lecture…
Dr.Collone explained how to be happy from what we already have with us,most importantly he told that not to compare our selves with others and not to be worry about what we don’t have.Even if we have problems with us he told that there is nothing that we get by being worry.Another important thing that I got from this lecture is that not to talk about other peoples things and situations.That will be a time waste and it is not a good practice.
Dr.Colonne delivered a very useful lecture for us and he is a very friendly and humble person who doesn’t limited to the words that deliver in speeches. His ambition is to get the Nobel prize one day and I hope he will definitely get to his target one day.

Then we were told to negotiate with other groups to get our missing pieces and be the group who complete the barter puzzle first!And  we knew that negotiation won't be so easy with our colleagues....😅😅😅 It was started and we were very busy with our task....we had to negotiate with other groups and ask for our missing parts.First it was a very hard task to identify the parts that we want,because all the pictures look little bit similar.We have to talk with different kind of people and negotiate with them in different ways.Some pieces were easily given while other w...

Sitting in a lecture hall for hours, listening to lecturer and write down notes are the things that we do normally everyday at the university.But it was a whole different experience when it comes to the PPD lessons.PPD or Personal Progress Development lessons are uplifting our presentation skills, communication skills, leadership skills and group working ability.  PPD is not a normal lecture series. It consists of lot of group activities which gives us not only a valuable lesson, but also which add valuable memories to our university life. In first year we did some enjoyable group activities.  1.Helium stick    We were grouped and there are about 10 members in a group. This game was introduced as ‘Helium stick’. We had to pull that stick down by using only thumb .First we thought that it’s a easy task. But it wasn’t a simple task. We had to hold the stick by using our thumbs, and bring that down. Our major problem was miscommunication. It w...
