SAARC: Any long-term benefits? August 7, 2008

SAARC has come and SAARC has gone. A few rabid dogs got the injection. A few posters got removed. A hell of a lot of people got inconvenienced. But will SAARC bring any benefits to South Asia in general and Sri Lanka in particular? For the past 23 years the summit has just been a [...]

SAARC, the umpire review experiment, the war (of course), Dumarkali (Duminda + Anarkali), inflation, foreign employment, internal and external political [...]

The One-Way System: Yet Another Luxury For Politicians… December 22, 2007

The recently introduced one-way system which applies to Galle Road and Duplication Road hasn’t been talked upon in the blogosphere as far as I know.

C3: COMPUTERS. COMMUNICATIONS. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS - A Sri Lankan Gadget Magazine…… November 11, 2007

I read about C3: Computers. Communications. Consumer electronics in the Sunday Times last week and since it had the word Computers on it’s cover and is published by a Sri Lankan company I thought I’d give it a try. After a quick run to Vijitha Yapa and back I settled down for some long [...]

Goodbye Sir, Royal will never forget you…………………. October 31, 2007

It is with a sense of great sadness and a feeling of emptiness that I inform all those whom it may concern that, Mr. Viji Weerasinghe, an exemplary character who epitomized the true meaning of what it is to be a Royalist, passed away in hospital today.
Mr. Viji Weerasinghe was hospitalized at the Asiri Surgical [...]

Government Regulations on Alcohol and Tobacco being shown on TV…………………what next? Ban on porn? October 25, 2007

Actually, yes.
I went to school last week and my friends were talking about the new found pastime of the cops……….checking poor fellows on motorcycles for pornographic material on their phones But I don’t know how far it’s true , friend talk could go anywhere………
So, if all the above is true, then I believe [...]

Akarsha come, Akarsha go (hopefully) October 19, 2007

Anarkali Akarsha calls herself an actress cum tv presenter cum tv hostess cum model cum Ministerial Secretary cum everythingelsunderthesun.
I’d like to call her a fake.
I thought of blogging about her after reading and article in which Angela Seneviratne gives her a bit of a lashing in W@W, the magazine that comes free with the Daily [...]

A tribute to the blind October 14, 2007

I recently read an article in the newspapers about International White Cane day. It made me think………………..
Imagine someone who can’t read this. Imagine a person who hasn’t seen his or her own parents. Imagine a person who hasn’t seen his or her self…………………..
The blind are probably the most unfortunate, yet fortunate people on earth……..
Unfortunate [...]

On a bright weekday morning, I got up and got ready for school, since  I used to live a little far away from Colombo and my school, I normally used to take the bus from my home to school. On this fateful day, I got into the [...]

What the crap is the Government up to now??? October 7, 2007
