The Brewery By O! has been the best bar in Colombo since it opened two years ago. Best location (Dutch Hospital), good food, cheap drinks. The only problem was that it got so packed on weekends that you couldn’t get service. Someone else is taking over the lease, so no more O! Bar.

In the last week I was called a ‘kalakanniya’, by some chap I’ve never met. Hilarious. Gotta love objectivity. That was only one of the polite things I’ve been called. I do the roundup for The Score, so got some brickbats, which I was helpfully forwarded by the Score lads. Why they’d think I wanted to see them, I don’t ...

Cats are interesting creatures. Why do I say this? Probably because they are a bunch of assholes. Cute and cuddly assholes. They purr and cuddle up to you one minute and run after helpless little birds to play and kill (…)Read the rest of this entry » No related posts.

A question that keeps surfacing to the top regarding the BBS fiasco is what the pure “Buddhist view” is, regarding racism and/or discrimination or the idea of someone being better than the other. The idea that Sri Lanka is a “Sinhala Buddhist” country, and how by being a Buddhist in Sri Lanka that it somehow elevates you above others, is ...

Banglalion, one of the two Broadband Wireless Access (BWA aka WiMAX) operators, has filed a lawsuit against Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) for awarding a pair of 10 megahertz of spectrum in 800 MHz band at “free of cost.” Evidently the whole issue has been scandalous all the way: BTRC commissioner, ATM Monirul Alam, admitted that the 800MHz band was ...

Four years ago, Sri Lanka ended a cold-blooded war that had haunted the island for more than 25 years.
