Being employed far away from home, I was simply wondering as to what would happen if I couldn’t afford to pay my utility bills. I can’t certainly live without a Ceiling Fan at my temporary residence, my laptop, mobile phone, lighting, ironing and the hot water kettle. Though someone who knows me could merely brush … Continue reading →
Another side of the story which involved a shooting inside the Canadian parliament.. Nathan Cirillo who was slain by the gunman, (who now happens to be a jihadist..surprise!) had been an animal lover and his two pet dogs are seen waiting for him to return home. Sad isn’t it? Two things which caught my eye, … Continue reading →
Thought of sharing Jayashika’s post on Rukshan for the simple reason of him being one of the mot humble guys as I’ve been told by many. Haven’t had the luxury of meeting this human being, but I pray for him with all my heart for a speedy recovery, and hope that it isn’t too late … Continue reading →
This somewhat goes along with my earlier post Rugby & Politics In recent times, the 28 year old First son (legislator and MP too) announced his retirement from Navy SC. Him along with his two younger brothers captained the team from 2010. Not to forget the national team also. Received a hell of a lot … Continue reading →
One of my friends at office came rushing to me today to give me some bad news. I don’t know why people share these things with me, but I always find myself in the middle of a situation like this very often, where it becomes the THING within my peanut of a brain and I … Continue reading →
Eighteen years ago, a time when life was much more simpler and innocent, a beautiful soul left this world. She was, Eva Cassidy. Not many have heard or seen her sing, for it was very much towards the end of her life that people seemed to notice her amazing voice. The meaning and soul that … Continue reading →
A friend of mine had tagged me to this page and it’s for a good cause. I assure you that it’s not a scam, but a 100% genuine request made by the poor soul. Go ahead. You can make a difference. Click here to make a small donation I just started a walk. A walk … Continue reading →
And I wondered.. What we don’t have, we want. What we had but lost, we want more. Is it normal to feel sad when you think of such times which will never come again? I guess so. It’s part of life. You have your special moments with your special someone but get shoved away unexpectedly. … Continue reading →
Now only did I realize that one of my childhood specials had been played by Robin Williams. Hence this short post to bid him farewell. It was the movie Mrs. Doubtfire which I really loved back in the days, but never got the chance to research afterwards. Suddenly going through his filmography only did I realize … Continue reading →
Such a beautifully written article by Alan Gardner. Full credits to him on touching the hearts of those who cherished this idol and home grown legend of a person. Being a Kandyan myself, reading this article made me teary eyed as memories of my own childhood among loved friends did come to mind as Sanga … Continue reading →
If there was a price for the best slogan or catch phrase that was out there in the road, as far as tuk tuks are concerned, I’m so sure that our guys would go golden in that category..no doubt there as we see the most insane, hilarious stuff that’s ever gotta be anywhere in the … Continue reading →
I recently got the chance to meet some of my very first friends from school. Since it is the time where timelines are flooded with baby pictures and the life cycle of how one became a man or a woman, I thought it was appropriate that I too met with some of my oldest buddies. … Continue reading →
Back in the day we used to laugh at CBK for her statement on attending Sorbonne. That was indeed news for us which came in the early Millenium. (Many thanks to late Mr. Lasantha Wickramathunga for sorting that out for us. R.I.P.) For a decade or so, nobody else claimed to have attended prestigious institutions … Continue reading →
The Ice Bucket Challenge seems cool yeah? I’m seeing the hype and how this has gone viral all over media these days..well, not for me..As long as it doesn’t concern the morons in our country, I’m cool with it. What doesn’t seem to go together with #ALSIceBucketChallenge is that Sri Lankan celebrities getting involved and … Continue reading →
Navy SC vs Kandy SC Gotta love how Kandy played. 16 – 06 Christopher Cloete the man was amazing on the Kandy side and they’ve brought change at the dawn of the Maithree era. Cheers to all Rugby fans. Navy gets beat down for the first time! That too in Welisara. Time for celebrations.

Director & Producer – Nilendra Deshapriya Co-Producers/Directors – Nathasha Dream, H.D. Premasiri, Sunil T Fernando Cast – Kumara Thirimadura, Sarath … Continue reading →
So, same sex marriages were allowed in all 50 states in the US. Big deal for them, and I agree. People in the US have been openly demonstrating their sexual freedom and fighting their rights for decades now. Not just in the US, but mostly the West Coast of the world map. I’m happy for … Continue reading →
Haven’t I mentioned previously in my posts that the Indians have had a real hard on for our country? Well, they do. Insanely so.. We may have depended on them for various reasons in the past but it’s about time that the Rajapakse’s stopped offering them the dignity of this country on gold platters. Wasn’t … Continue reading →
I can not stress more the importance of this Presidential Election. Choose your vote wisely.
