3 Things I Did Right, This Avurudu

1) 1 day transition at start and end of vacation

I allowed 1 day to wind up before the vacation, and 1 day to wind down after vacation. Simply put - lived first and last day of vacation at home. It made the whole difference.In past I made the mistake of returning around midnight, get 4 hours sleep, and start working from next day. That was bad.This time, the transition worked well.

2) Instagram

From the start of vacation I experimented with this cool app. Finally it is on android. Earlier it was only on iOS. With instagram it was easier to capture Avurudu in nice pics, and share.My username is isurasilva. Yasir Nasir did a good coverage of his trip to East. His profile is yasirnasir.Instagram is now growing in Sri Lanka.My conclusion: Instagram has given wings to my thoughts.Check it out, especially the picture effects. The video below explains Instagram.

3) Travelled Less. 

I limited the commute. Planned very few places to visit.

Means quality time at few places. Magically we met so many people. How?

When we stayed longer at one place, many other related families came to visit that place. These people we could have missed, even if we tried to visit them, now were seen gathered in one place.

We even compromised sea bath to be more with relatives. More time enabled us to blend well, and connect the dots of our lives on timeline with the memories of different people.

That showed how interconnected we are. How a small contribution from a relative had gone to make ripples in many lives, to mould our characters in to who we are today.

We felt so blessed and cared.

Avurudu is about gratitude.

Hope you had a great avurudu too !

Now's the time to get back to 'work' mode.

Cheers !
