The dining philosophers problem                                                    There are some Philosophers whose work is just thinking and eating. Let there are 5 (for example) philosophers. They sat at a round table for dinner. To complete dinner each must need two Forks (spoons). But there are only 5 Forks available (Forks always equal to no. of Philosophers) on table. They take in such a manner that, first take left Fork and next right Fork. But problem is they try to take at same time. Since they are trying at same time, Fork 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 taken by Philosopher 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively (since they are left side of each). And each one tries to ta ke right side Fork. But no one found available Fork. And also that each one thinks that someone will release the Fork and then I can eat. This continuous waiting leads to Dead Lock situation So...

A Coin for a Thought The 13th of December was our last GNCT session for the 1st year. Like all other days of GNCT, we had an interesting session. First, Miss.Sarasi collected a coin from each of us and all the coins were put in to a purse. Then the purse was rotated through the class and the moment where Miss.Sarasi tapped the table, the person with the purse had to take a coin out and he had to speak about the memories he had related to the year of the coin.  The session was going awesome as this was totally impromptu and our colleagues were bringing out some funny and interesting things happened to them in the respective years. When I got the chance to speak, the coin I got was a 2/-  coin which was released in 2006. So, here is the story which I related to the class, the story of how I survived Death . It was the month of December in 2006, and it was a rainy season. One Sunday morning I was playing in the garden and suddenly I got the idea of overseeing th...

The Lava River We had some real fun because of the activity we got to do today. We were divided in to 4 groups 5 in each, and we were given round shaped card boards. The activity we were supposed to do was to cross the classroom from one end to the other using the limited card boards we had got, with all the group members while ensuring that non of us our feet touched the tile instead of  the card board. The task was really challenging because we had to work smart and hard making sure we were fulfilling the conditions. We tried our best to succeed, but unfortunately, our team couldn't cross the classroom successfully. Even this was  a small challenge, we learned lots of things through this challenge. We were able to build our team spirit, the team courage and team work. This activity immensely helped in building up our patience too... www.kln.ac.lk

The challange was focusing the theme Culture , and each team had to create their own culture which includes customs, songs, language, food and dance etc..which are unique to each of them.

Leadership On 29th of November, we had an interesting session on Leadership. We learned lots of things from the session like different types of leaders, their qualities and how an actual leader should act. We learned leadership qualities that we should improve in our lives and some life stories of true leaders who live and who had lived in the world, which made the session more interesting, Miss. Sarasi Senadheera even started the lecture by teaching the fact that how all of us are born leaders taking the example of a sperm which meets the ova by defeating millions of its peers. The class was devided in to 2 and we were given to act a given scenario. Our group had to act a scene of firing an employee of how a leader should act in such a situation.

Personal Goals This week,15th of November we had to illustrate our personal goals on a Bristol board and had to present it in front of the class.

I will get married at the age of 28. I will build my own house by 2030 and I will buy my own car at the age of 36. On the way I'll have 2-3 children.
