Weddings on-line with manaali.com by William de Alwis She can well afford to smile. It's the month of the June bride again and the web portal she created three years ago to give young people and their parents hassle-free access to a wedding celebration in whichever tradition they choose has blossomed into a success beyond her wildest expectations. She was the first to follow up a simple thought with action and her manaali.com gives her ample cause to be happy. Most of us are families inextricably bound by tradition, and an event like, say your daughter's wedding which you wish to celebrate, be it in the grand style or anything less, call for 'arrangements' so detailed they can drive a doting parent round the bend. Where to go, what to do and how to do it. Changing lifestyles across the country have made these details major problems. Cyber Concepts wedding portal takes away all that sweat. She said that the PC and internet would be an utility as indispensable to most city households as the telephone. Recent statistics about computer usage have been proving her prediction. Visit the site, www.manaali.com and you will find it the ultimate source of information for the ideal wedding celebration of your dreams for everyone-Buddhist, Christian or Muslim. The advice covers the complete planning process from the rolling 12 months calendar of auspicious days, customs and rituals, preparing the budget, a to do list and planning tips for the final touches to make this a memorable occasion with the least hassle. In short, talk to your suppliers and all who can help on-line eliminating a whole lot of travel and sweat. Manaali.com has proved significantly complementary to the Sri Lanka's Tourist Board's current promotion in North America and Europe. A number of the best hotels in the country can testify to its effectiveness in promoting Sri Lanka as an attractive tourist destination through its 'Wed in Paradise' concept. A number of enterprises, notably Heshnatha Fernando's Hesh Designs, providing floral arrangements and poruwas, have good cause to attribute their success to the exposure that manaali.com provides. Krishnajina holds an Honours Degree in Mathematics from the University of Colombo and is a Chartered IT practitioner counting more than 14 years of hands on experience in the Industry. She has served in many prestigious organisations including Unilever Ceylon Ltd., and PricewaterhouseCoopers in responsible senior positions. Two years ago, the Business Pages of the Daily News featured Krishnajina and her husband Ravi Rajapathirane, a Chartered Engineer by profession, as a young couple worth watching. They had just launched themselves into the wide open field of entrepreneurship in Information Technology to carve out for themselves, a slice of the IT market and former Cyber Concepts (Pvt) Ltd with a Swiss collaborator. Their target market then was the burgeoning small and medium scale industrial sector. these were typically young entrepreneurs who knew where they wanted to go, with skills and knowledge they acquired over the years. Cyber Concepts (Pvt) Ltd., has come a long way since then. It is now entrenched as a fully fledged IT company in the industry, providing services in software development, IT consulting and corporate website development and hosting. All told, its nice going for manaali.com with 16,000 hits a month that escalated from 60,000 not so long ago. |
