About me & my blog

First things first. Serena is not my real name. The real one is Sachini. But here I chose to go with Serena for one specific reason.

Not that ​I​ ​know ​all ​of the languages but, 'serenity' is my favourite word in all of the 7000 something languages out there (alien languages not included). Why? Because, serenity.... is everything I want to achieve in life. That's something I slowly learned ​through ​m​y​​ ​fair ​​share ​o​f life (28 ​years ​of it at the time I'm​ writing this). ​Funniest thing is that few years after falling in love ​with serenity, it occurred to me that my 2nd name 'Nisansala' (which I hated almost all of my conscious life​) translates into my favourite word, 'serenity'.

So... I studied chemical engineering and specialized in environmental engineering which ended up being my thing. ​I​ ​love sustainability! I love everything about it. The science of it, ​people involved​ in it, the research, the technology, different cultures, art, books, stories,... just about anything even remotely related to sustainability. This love for sustainability is what made me a learner. And, THAT is how this blog came to be.

With time, I learned that I love learning new things and sharing those stories with others (Props to my friends and family who'd listen to my stories for hours). This blog is sort of a tribute for things I learn and a place to share them with the rest of the world (and also a archive that I can look back on everything I've forgotten with time). I can't really pin it under one niche (at least at the time I'm writing this). Here, you'll find a mi​​xed salad of articles on ​​things I find interesting with a dash of m​y personality sprinkled on top. Feel free to explore the tabs and tags. You might stumble upon things you're interested in too.

This blog is a result of cumulative inspiration from a few of my favourite science educators and YouTubers. But, all the social media out there is too noisy for me. This is my cozy internet-cabin w​h​e​re my small internet-community will gather up and read/listen to my stories while enjoying a cup of hot mocha with extra whipped cream on top (or...any of your favourite drinks 'coz, why not?)
