The Black Market

Black Market is also known as underground economy. 'Black' here reffers to crime,corruption,violation of laws.
When someone mention the name Black Market, our minds are filled with all sorts of things like smuggling drugs and weapons, prostitution,dangerous medications,unique stolen goods; antiques,products of endangered animals and also smuggling human organs which is becoming very popular in the Black Market.
But it is not only violating the laws that comes under this. It can be legal activities such as crimes often found in construction and services industries where they refrain from paying taxes.
I think Black Markets are operated because of the buyers who wishes evade restrictive government price controls, to avoid paying taxes or simply to obtain forbidden goods or services that government prohibits. Goods may be cheaper than legal market because criminals steal them and sell them; so suppliers doesn't have to pay for the production cost or taxes. Also they can be more expensive than legal market prices, but buyers anyways buy goods because those products are either difficult to acquire or dangerous to handle. For example some drugs and weapons. In general, more the government tries to control the economy, rises the percentage of illegal economic activities through the Black Market.
people might say black market is the most free market. But the economy of a country suffer one way or the other from undue interference in the general functioning of the legal market. This is a serious issue to a country.But government ministers won't care because they and the most influential personals in the country are the people behind it. So eliminating Black market will be impossible as long as it regulates undercover of those powerful people.

Sri Lanka Presidential Election -2010

Presidential election of Sri Lanka to select the 6th president had been the hottest topic during the last few days. People thought it is a very important and special election because this was the 1st election after finishing the civil war.

Election was on the 26th of January 2010. There were 22 candidates. Mahinda Rajapaksha and Sarath Fonseka were the strongest candidates among them.

Rajapaksha was the elected president in Nov 2005 and was the candidate of the UPFA (United People's Freedom Alliance) while Genaral Fonseka the former commander of Sri Lankan Army was his main opponent.General Fonseka was the candidate of NDF (New Democratic Front) which included some of the main opposition parties like United National Party & Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna.

Sri Lankan elections have a history of violence and misuse of state resources. Officially there have been four murders during the run up to the election. And the government was accused for the misuse of state property during the election. Elections commissioner Mr. Dissanayake criticized the government saying that state owned television stations gave extensive coverage to Mahinda Rajapaksha campaign with little mention of other candidates.

On the 27th of January 2010 Mahinda Rajapaksha who was the elected president for 6 year term in nvember 2005 won the reelection receiving 57.88% of all votes casted while Genaral Sarath Fonseka got 40.15%.

plastic surgery

Though these surgeries include the word 'plastic' it has nothing to do with the synthetic polymer material. This is a surgery involving correction or reconstruction, in either form or function or both.This is used for medical(reconstructive) or cosmetic reasons.
Reconstructive surgeries are performed to improve function and to approximate normal appearance. These are used in patients with burns, traumatic injuries, birth abnormalities, and lot more.
cosmetic surgeries are performed to alter a part of body that person is not satisfied with; enhancement of appearance. Breast implants, fat removal,firming and reshaping the abdomen, redoing nose, lips are the most popular cosmetic surgeries nowadays.
People do these surgeries mostly because they are not comfortable with there own appearance.They see these surgeries as a way to fit in or a way to stand out from a crowd.
I think doing a plastic surgery, reconstructive or cosmetic is totally acceptable. Because it will affect there self esteem in a good way and they will valu themselves.but I don't think plastic surgery is the first option for loose your weight or getting beautiful or anything.because an effective plastic surgery will be really expensive. And it carries a great risk and also whole lot of emotional stress.
everything has its own pros and cons, so I think its upto them to decide what they really want and whats best for them.

My Vacation....

My vacation was three weeks long. After a long period of studies,exams and work, I wanted to spend this vacation as a vacation. Being at home, sleeping as much as want,watching movies, eating simply enjoying myself. But as all five of us were together my father wanted to go on a trip or sort of a pilgrimage to the Adams peak.At first i protested but in the end we all ended up going on the trip.
We took the Hatton road to climb up.We started climbing at about 10.00pm and it was about 4.00am when we reach the top.It was tiring.We got the chance to watch the rising of the sun from up there.That was the most wonderful seen I've ever saw. It was beautiful; clouds were below us and its like peaking down from the sky.I was glad going there because it worth all the climbing.climbing down was much harder and took longer than climbing up.Our legs were aching for days.But I loved that I have experienced it.
rest of my vacation went in the way i wanted it to be.So this vacation was quite exciting to me and I had lot to talk when I'm back with friends.
