Game Developers Conference China

I am now in China to attend the Game Developers conference in Shanghai, this is an annual conference that is been held in China with its main chapter held in America and the European chapter held in Germany.

I was able to compile all what I have learnt there, however I had an issue in publishing them because the following web sites are restricted in China.

Google (Which includes blogger)

Facebook 

Twitter

Youtube

And a host of other sites as well.

Therefore all these had to be posted after coming home, which will be serialized in this blog.

Poetry Time: Ode of a Rich Man

 

I Pay Taxes to the governing body

I give charity to the needy

The politician insults me during an election

The poverty claps at its own discretion

 

To be poor in a rich country is indeed a shame

But to be rich in a poor country am I to be blamed

Richness and Poverty are part of the Economic game

An unfortunate designation in front of a human's name

 

I live to this day awaiting for a change

From a poverty stricken, yet a prejudiced human race

I still manage to uphold my grace

To cautiously look into the consequences I am yet to face

Good Poetry



Good poetry has always inspired me, it is difficult to identify where the exact source of inspiration is hidden, but let me repeat Good Poetry is always an inspiration.

In Poetry it is often not the content that is captivating, but the way the words are positioned, the way the words trick the mind to convey the content and the way a complex thought is written in a few words that kindles inspiration.

As writers thoughts keep flowing, so by condensing these thoughts to a few words and positioning those words in a way that directs the human mind to an unknown destination is indeed an artistic blessing. As a result of my acquaintance with poetry, I have tried my hands on writing my own proses, which have either ended up in some discarded book or my faithful waste paper basket  .

Hence I decided to include all the proses that I write in my blog with the Title: Poetry Time.

Therefore have a nice day until I post my first line of prose.

Books - Good Bad and the Ugly

With the end of the Colombo Book fair I thought of writing about books, it's good bad and the ugly pages.
Reading has been encouraged in this part of the world as a powerful tool and the only tool for learning (this was way before internet and multimedia teaching materials were popular). However like everything, Books and Reading has its good, bad and ugly sides to it.

The Good

• You do learn a lot - Yes this is true, you get to learn a lot
• You can kill your time - While going on a bus, waiting for someone or to kill the idle time, this is the ideal thing to do. 
• Peaceful - You don't have to depend on anyone, you can do it by yourself. 

The Bad

• Forgetting - However good or fast you are in reading, it will be of no use if you are unable to recall what you have read. Imagine you read a book on First Aid and when you try to apply it and you forget the series of steps. 
• Rate of being an Introvert increases - If you are addicted to reading the last thing you want to do is to talk with visitors who visit your home or to go out of your house (or library for that matter)

The Ugly

• Reading is not something that you can do for a long time
• Reading may not be possible as you age, naturally your eyesight might be weak and as a result your interest to read will go away with time - At that time you will always want someone who reads to stop it and talk

Yet with all that Reading is an act that we all do at some point of time providing your literal.

Therefore enjoy your reading !!
