Volcano - Tempura Prawns, Avocado, Tobiko and Crab StickSometimes Colombo can be a place full of culinary contradictions. For instance the best Chinese food I have eaten comes from an Indian Managed hotel chain. Of course I am referring to Golden Dragon by the Taj. And now I realized the best sushi I have eaten is at a sea ...
When everyone around me was shifting to android based phones and i-phones I held on to my black berry tight. Regardless of what was happening around me. Regardless of the taunts from people telling me how old fashioned and how out of date I was. The i-phone was nice but I did not want to be an i-clone. None ...
I am always on the lookout for a good burger joint. I mean I have had a few good burgers in my forays into the world of all things food but none of them have made me stand up on my chair and sing hosannas as to how good it is. At least till now. Finally I believe that ...

They all knew that they will execute her in early December. By then all hopes of a settlement had disappeared. She was to be executed by the 23rd of December. Sadly she did not know it. In fact they had assured her everything will be ok. And that she would receive a pardon soon. But on that fateful day ...

"It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during ...

Sometimes trying to correct a minor irritant for just one person can cause suffering for many. We saw it a few years back when the roads were closed under the guise of security for the convoys of (useless) parliamentarians. I experienced this one more when I was driving down Jawatte Road near the area where there is a KFC ...
She strides into the room looking as lovely as a picture. She flashes a quick smile at me and takes out a single cup cake and candle out of her bag. She glances at me tenderly as she gently places the candle on the cake her long fingers deftly striking a match which she uses to light the candle ...
I have heard of Paan Paan! I have seen the email advertisements they send. In fact I thought they looked pretty good and had made a mental note to go and visit it since it is very close to the area I work in. Yet – to my growing frustration – I never seemed to drive past it. At ...
In fact I did not know that love had a language or that love spoke till I heard of this theory by Dr. Gary Chapman which is outlined in his book “The 5 love languages”. It was such an illuminating theory I thought I should share it on here. The 5 love languages are: 1 1. Quality Time 2 ...

FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them. PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong Buttons TYRES: Tyres ...
I did not realize this was an art till quite recently. We had gone out to the jungles with a group of friends for a couple of days. There was also a lady from overseas among us. Each time there was a pause in the conversation and everyone was enjoying a quiet moment she would suggest that we all ...
At the risk of being ridiculed and being cast as a bit of a sissy I must confess that I have an infatuation with bath gels and soaps. Let me loose in a body shop outlet and I can keep myself occupied happily for a couple of hours. I never thought our local products came up to much till ...
It is so easy to imitate instead of innovate. Especially in an environment where most of the more hyped up, applauded and financially successful English Theatre performances have been reproductions. Good imitation where one tries to be as close to the original theatrical performance as possible. I believe it takes a certain amount of bravado and panache to put ...
They say never to judge a book by the cover. It is the same when it comes to bungalows of the wild life department. What you see is not what you get. This post has been in the making for nearly two decades. That is about how long I have been visiting the Kokmotai bungalow for. I don’t visit ...
I agree it is a confusing heading but trust me this has not been written merely to garner your attention. In fact there is a lot of meaning behind this seemingly mysterious header.
