When I read the Valmiki Ramayana, out of all the pages in the book, one of the scenes that stayed in my mind was what happens when Rama and Sita see each other for the first time. I know that there are many renditions of the Ramayana. Even the love story of Rama and Sita has been told in countless ...
Lately I've been thinking a lot on what it means to be a daughter in-law and a mother in-law. While I will not have children in the foreseeable future, one can always wonder what the future will bring. And I'm more than determined that I will be a cool mother in-law.I suppose when a new person enters any household, a ...
Who doesn't like tea right? For us Sri Lankans, tea is the ultimate beverage. Rain or shine, when someone visits us we give them a cup of tea. To show that we are not at all stingy and very very hospitable, the tea given to guests is always over sugared. And the guests, to show that they are courteous to ...
I was told by the kind doctor whom I visited that I was overweight. He was of the opinion that it would be greatly beneficial to my health if I was to reduce my weight to the lower mark of my ideal weight spectrum. But it has been so hard.It’s so hard for many reasons. I hate working out I ...
When I got married, after the traditional home coming was over, I remember the desolate feeling I got as I watched my family leave me with my husband’s family. It has all felt surreal up to that point. That moment when they all left, leaving me feeling all alone among people who were strangers to me, has been the loneliest ...

Someone really dear to my heart passed away today. When I was small, he would hold my hand and walk me down to the main road and wait with me for the school van. Sometimes he would buy me a seeni sambol banis.Sometimes when he came home after work, he would bring me peni appa.He let me study at his ...
Nangi sent me this, which I think is awesome.So as lame as the next phrase is going to sound, I have also decided to take up the mantle and write a blog post everyday for 366 days. Is that weird? Does that make me a copycat? Will people read what I write? I'm full of doubts.But maybe this is a ...
So here's how the argument started. "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" was going on the radio and I commented on the use of the conditional and how in those days songs contained proper grammar. This led to the question of if there were any songs which were grammatically incorrect. I said ...
Just like me to write about a book. Don't you think? And to write about a book by Neil Gaiman, again. I can't seem to help it. Remember when I wrote about American Gods? This time it's Anansi boys.Anansi Boys is a wonderful read. It's witty. Funny. Gripping. and sometimes a little sad. It's a story about family ties and ...
I drive. Everyday. Back and forth. Except for those annoying and irritating moments when fellow drivers on the road are maniacal and makes me wish for the wagon-carts, I'm a cheerful driver. It is my resolution that I don't let myself be bothered by the indiscipline of others. I follow road rules. Keep to my lanes. And am courteous to ...
Shady title eh? I've been reading so many romance novels lately I think it's becoming difficult for me to speak normally. Exactly how many romance novels have I read in the past two weeks? err.. let me see.. I'm too embarrassed to count.While they are juicy, steamy, sometimes very very embarrassing to read (and I continue to do so) I ...
I aspire a lot. Whether my aspirations realise or not is another matter altogether.When my husband & I moved into a place of our own a few months ago, I had all sorts of grand plans. And mind you, everything D.I.Y too. Fix up the garden, bake regularly, wake up before the sun & cook, mop the floor every morning ...

Before you get the wrong idea, this is about food.I've decided to go vegan. Twice in the past I have tried being vegetarian, each spell lasting about an year before I relapsed into my carnivore habits. This time, I'm more serious than ever, and want to make a life long commitment to not consuming anything of animal produce.I'm alright with ...
"My line of thoughts about dogs is analogous. A dog reflects the family life. Whoever saw a frisky dog in a gloomy family, or a sad dog in a happy one? Snarling people have snarling dogs, dangerous people have dangerous ones. And their passing moods may reflect the passing moods of others."- Quoted as being said by Sherlock Holmes, in ...
A very good evening!!I'm very judgmental. I've been told so various times. & I know it. So it turns out that I need to go a bit judgy on me.I honestly don't think that I have that many nice qualities.
