The most precious moments in Delhi, India!

Coming back to my motherland

Having returned I have been busy adjusting myself for the work ahead.


Making myself to post this

Ajay Balamurugadas Esq. made me to put this blog post today. Yes it came through!.


Making me indeed a citizen of the world

My Beloved Delhi, India!!! After twenty long years I came back to you with a heart replete with gratitude for having me treated in my very young years of this life where I had my University education in India, took initiation to mould me into the person I am today, carrying all the good values you gifted me making me indeed a citizen of the world having faced lot of obstacles!!! Thank you ever so much, thank you, thank you!!! Lucky me…

It is true, selfless love, that is what India is to me, that is what the people are for me!!!. Now I am back home with a heart that is literally bursting out of gratitude, love and joy at being able to taste, feel, enjoy and truly appreciate the mother India through their food, the colours and the most special people I have known all my life!!!.


Extremely fortunate in my life

I am extremely fortunate to get this word “Persistence” with a star from James Bach Esq. with his signature on this certificate.



Also I was very fortunate enough to learn a wide range of Software Testing from these world renowned experts when they attended and spoke in ThinkTest 2015 and also in RST class in Delhi, India.

How I got this chance? Was it a miracle? Or it is because of my persistence? Or helping nature of Indians and testing experts like James Bach? Yes, answer is all.

I saw there was a post by Santhosh Tuppad Esq. saying that “If you post a question and if James Bach selects it then you will get a free seat for the Conference”.

Oh, this made me feel diligence to get this free seat. I quickly posted a question. Yes!. Mrs. Smita Mishra replied to my e-mail.

My dream came through. I got the free seat for the conference and for the RST class. Many people helped me to achieve this seat.

They are Smita, Ajay and James. There are many more in the list.

I had to face lot of obstacles to attend this conference and the RST Class. I won at last!. Yes I won!. Gods’ grace!. Lucky me…

Within a week all the arrangements were done and I got a new job too. Yes it is because of Gods’ grace.

The benefits I got from this valuable event are I came to know better ways of finding important bugs in a short time and also met really valuable personalities. I learnt the exact definition of Software testing then I learnt what is coverage, what is oracle, what is a procedure which were not known properly before. I learnt Testing is not test cases, Patterns of a "good" Test Automation Framework, then building agility for automated Mobile Apps testing, How to transition our career from Manual Tester to CTO, most valuable learning "50+ tips to improve Tester - Programmer Relationship" which we definitely need to know to have a good relationships with our developers, Your Data is no more ONLY your data which was another valuable speech, Truthful test estimations etc.

I did a presentation also after I came back to Sri Lanka from the knowledge I gathered from ThinkTest 2015, RST class and James’s special individual teaching. Yes I made it!. Majority feedback was excellent.


Token of appreciation

Let me have this opportune moment to express my unreserved gratitude, a very special thanks and esteem to your good selves (My Parents, Ajay Balamurugadas Esq., James Bach Esq., Mrs. Smita Mishra, Michael Bolton Esq., Santhosh Tuppad Esq., and last but not the least Dr. H.S. Prabhakar of Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi, and his wife Madam Sujata Prabhakar) having showered so much of unexpected opportunities with a magnanimous gesture and for taking such care to make me feel so comfortable, that made me feel one with their noble family!!!. You made me feel really very important so much so that I have no explanation to offer, I was well received and looked after and they were landmark days for me.

Let me once again express my deepest gratitude to all of you and I feel very happy that I have been well accepted.

I extend to you and the family and your associates, all the divine grace be showered upon you continuously for a very successful future.

I am really very lucky, sincere thanks to all of you, those who helped me and also for those who gave me obstacles. Yes, obstacles helped me to make myself without giving up. Yes they made me to have a determination. I succeeded. I made my dream true.
