Having second thoughts of reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?

*no spoilers*

Yes it was not fully written by Rowling so it was totally different from the previous books.. No wonder..
And yes it's not a novel it is the rehearsal script for the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
All these facts were told throughout the internet before the book was released.
Then why do people complain about it? I don't understand!

I bought it cause it is all about going back to the Wizarding world of Harry Potter after all these years! I just love going back!
It is true that I could not feel the effect that I had when I was reading the previous seven books, yet I really enjoyed it.
It brought me tears while reading and Ron made me laugh.. (as usual he was there with his personality!)

I felt the story was fast forwarded and wish it was written as separate books as novels. Though the plot holes are very visible and spread throughout the story, they make heartfelt conversations between characters, so I did not mind them all that much.

Simply I did not want the book to end.. The kid inside me still loves to read Harry Potter stories and probably that's why after reading this I kept staring at it reminding all the incidents from the very first book!

What ever people say I loved it, I loved it simply to go back to that world of magic... ❤
If you are a die-hard Harry Potter fan you will not miss out reading this :)

 

Michael Phelps - Olympics Rio 2016

Waking up to see this in the morning (Sri Lankan time 10th August 2016) ^_^

 

21 Olympic Gold Medals and counting... ^_^ He is no wonder the most decorated Olympian of all time!!
I personally love the Butterfly stroke and because of him I love it more!

* About the above picture.. When someone see this while being in the race they realize already the race is over ;) He might have thought "I must watch how beautiful he swims" :D

It is indeed a nice sight to see Michael Phelps swimming! He has not lost often in the Olympics.

 

 “I was pretty fired up after that race,” Phelps said, adding, “I didn’t say anything to anybody else, but there wasn’t a shot in hell I was losing that tonight.”

 I feel that Michael Phelps was actually created for swimming by the gods of water O:)

And on the podium during the awarding ceremony he stood up with little teary eyes. 

 Wish to see Phelps’s legacy continues throughout in the beautiful world of swimming...

I saw this comment somewhere in the internet and thought it's interesting :D

"How to become stupid? : Challenge Michael Phelps!"

Terence ❤

He is a dust-talent Disney fairy, who hands out pixie dust to other fairies each day so they may do their magic, and is calm and kind.  So he is a dust-keeper sparrow man. He has blonde hair and blue eyes and wears an acorn cap on his head.

Terence is Tinker Bell's best friend. He has a strong crush on her, which she is unaware of. (As a male fairy, he is sometimes referred to as a "sparrow man", a term Disney invented in an attempt to avoid calling them "fairies"). He is generally calm and logical, who thinks things through carefully, unlike Tinkerbell.

 He seems to have an eye for detail and appreciates beautiful things...

Ariel ❤ The Little Mermaid

Ariel is a true teenager as she is always trying to evade her father's rules.

She is a bright, spirited mermaid who is also adventurous and stubborn. Her curiosity and love for adventure sometimes gets her into trouble. Usually, however, she overcomes any obstacle she faces like she uses magic to change things. Her best friend is a fish named Flounder, and she develops a close relationship with a crab named Sebastian, the court composer.

She is determined to grow up and wants to live her own life. She is adventurous and always curious about the world of humans - something she longs to be part of. She is considered the Princess of Curiosity.

Ariel falls in love with Prince Eric, but they are star-crossed lovers as he is a human and she is a mermaid.
She sacrifices everything, even her voice, for a chance to meet her prince...

Ariel is free-spirited, confident, curious, kind, adventurous, bright, artistic, idealistic, rebellious, intrigued, headstrong, smart, mischievous, charismatic, witty, bubbly, romantic, impulsive, perceptive, sensitive, brave, selfless, sassy, feisty, irritable, protective, caring, loyal, pacifist, fun-loving, childlike, innocent, polite, sweet, lovable, perky, determined, peaceful and heroic!

How to keep a GitHub fork repository up to date?

You might come across many instances where you will have to fork a github repository and commit your changes as pull requests to the original master repository.

If you are to commit changes every now and then you need to make sure that your local repository is up to date with the master repository. Else if there are other commits made by users and you do not have the recent changes you might get commit conflicts once you make a pull request.

So to avoid this, you need to follow two steps.

1. Configure a remote pointing to the original repository.
2. Sync your local repository with original repo.

Configure a remote pointing to the original repository
You can configure a remote  like below.

1. Open the terminal and go to your local repository location.
Next type below command.
You can replace content with the url of your original repository.

git remote add upstream https://github.com/yourRepository.git

2. Next you can verify that a remote upstream repository got added, by giving following command.

git remote -v

  This command should list down the remote you added in previous step.

Sync your local repository with original repo
After you completed creating a remote upstream, now you can update your local repository by giving following commands.

1. Below command will fetch all the changes/updates of your original repository.

  git fetch upstream

2. Next checkout your local master branch.

 git checkout master

3. Next merge the changes of your upstream repo to your local repo.
This will sync your forked local repository without giving up your local changes.

git merge upstream/master
