Actually the title should have read “the twice married holy virgin who likes sex on the beach”. But I felt it was much crisper this way somehow. I am sure some of you must be wondering what new potent intoxicant I must be consuming to come up with such fanatical statements. And some of you must be nodding your head ...
You always find rarest of thing in the most unlikely places. In this case a decent sandwich at a decent price. Trust me it is indeed difficult to find. Especially in Fort where the options are expensive Barista which does not necessarily mean good quality or the not so expensive low grade Perera and Sons muck. Of course I ...
I never thought that I would ever sit down and actually write an ENTIRE post about a prawn curry. But I have to. This post has been a couple of years in the making. Better late than never I say. So here goes. I have been a great fan of traditional rest house meals. Especially the traditional rest house ...
Now us Sri Lankans have the perfect excuse to go out and have a good time and when asked by irritated boss/spouse/colleague say you had to go to hospital with a straight face. And that’s thanks to the opening of the new Dutch Hospital complex in Fort recently. I must confess they have done a remarkable job of renovating ...
This article appeared on Newsweek. SK is one of my favourite writers and as expected I found this article absolutely amazing and a treat to read. So I am reproducing it here to share it with everyone who might not be able to or have the chance to browse through this weeks issue of Newsweek or was it last last ...
This was originally a comment to a post by Lady Divine here. But it became so long winded and serious I thought I might as well post it on my blog instead of venting on her page which would be uncool to say the least. I always find it incredibly sad how people look down on "Prostitution" and have ...
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 ...
The sandwich was here as you can see it disappeared pretty fast. From the first moment I held it in my hands I knew it was something special. And when I chomped into it and savored that first bite I had an epiphany. I realized this sandwich was the most perfect one I had ever eaten. Yes! I finally ...
Why do seemingly normal people turn out into absolute bitches when confronted with a member of the same sex who they consider a threat? Well guess it is a Million Dollar question which no one has found the answer to yet? And I doubt they will do so in the future. But I faced a situation the other day ...
Well I was out with some friends the other day and as we are all foodies the conversation got around to food. And of course somewhere down the line the discussion led to how unhygienic some of the so called “posh” restaurants were. Here are three horror stories which I wanted to share. Gallery Café. Even though I have ...
Your absence Is a continuous presence in my life Like a deep cut which never heals Lying by my side silently in the night And accompanying me as I go through my day My silent companion alongside emptiness Like dark clouds across the sun But beautiful memories break through... Shining rays of brightness Of times and smiles we shared ...
I was looking for some digs for one of my friends visiting Sri Lanka in December and was amazed to find the new mid priced (Roughly 70 U.S Dollars) accommodations Colombo had to offer. I just thought I should share/save them on here for future reference though a simple search through trip advisor would yield the same results. Tripadvisor! ...
An Oxymoronic Biriyani??? What on earth is that? That’s the first thing which crossed my mind when we were invited for lunch the other day to sample this mysterious dish. Even though I wondered for many days what kind of concoction this would be nothing came to mind till the day we stepped into M&Ms house and lunch was ...
A couple of days back a group director of Maharaja’s passed away. Almost immediately, all across the city hoardings sprouted up featuring a larger than life picture of this gentleman and a message of condolence. I really don’t know what to make of it. On one side a public display of grief from a company perspective is highly admirable. ...
Awkard is… being in a house with your ex and the kid you guys made together. With your ex’s ex wife. and her boyfriend. And your ex’s current girlfriend. When I read these words in bubble butts blog post I couldn’t help but wonder if I would ever get to face something similar. And amazingly a couple of weeks ...
Oh goodness I got on the Kolaveri band wagon so late – actually when it was going out of fashion – but am so glad to have found it. I loved it so much that I had to find out more about the song. And realized the phrase “Kolaveri” means “Murderous Rage”. The guy singing is asking his girl friend ...
Some of you purists out there are going to call me foul names and the connoisseurs of this fine food are going to damn me into eternal suffering in hell when they realize that this is actually a complimentary post instead of a critical one. But do bear with me. Firstly to call this packet a lampries –just because ...
Apparently many females who were caught in the flash floods of the tsunami let go of the hands of their male rescuers when they realized that the gushing waters had washed their clothes off and that they were naked. They preferred death rather than have their modesty outraged. This was told to me by "U" whilst we were having a ...
Pasta’ salad and sandwiches are fine but sometimes a man has to have something hot fiery and ricey which will sit in his stomach like a ball of lead. I am that kind of man who loves his food hot and spicy. Wait that is an understatement. Hot and Fiery is more like it. Now I know I have ...
