Greetings from Sri Lanka!!! I am a science graduate and a chemistry teacher at Royal College, Colombo. I am mainly interested in history, international relations and football but i write on other topics too. My goal is to work towards promoting peace and understanding among communities in the world and specially in Sri Lanka.
I obtained my BSc. degree, majoring in Chemistry from the University of Colombo in 2009. I am studying for a post graduate diploma in international relations from September 2010 at Bandaranaike Center for International Studies, Colombo.
