A couple of years ago, I had the privilege of being a bridesmaid at a close friend’s wedding. So many things happened and I cherish those memories coz something I realised is that if I’m involved, or if I’m present, something funny is bound to happen. It’s probably the universe adding a pinch of humour into my life.:) So, the ...

This is dedicated to the two people I’m closest to in office, who also happen to be in my dept. So they’re two lovely souls… lets call them Baldy – the guy and Bestie the girl.

A few seconds ago I was reading a book my mum bought me, which is the English version of Maha Rahathun wedimaga osse Part 1 and it’s a real eye opener. I can hear a drunk set of boys outside loudly singing Oba apple malak wagey. So annoying. Insomnia is happy that there’s another reason as to why I can’t ...

I’ve always been this chubby creature who takes after my late grandma and her sons in exactly all physical aspects. I’ve never had a problem with it. In fact, I’ve gotten so used to people saying things, that it does hurt for a few moments, and after that I just realise that I’m much greater than all those petty minds. ...

She can’t seem to control her mind at times. It’s like her thoughts are on autopilot where they take her to a place where she’s not needed. He claimed to be a moron… he could be… but she has a strong sense where she feels she can look past that. She’s old enough to know what she wants. She’s been ...

The ultimate day is a date with a friend you are seeing after an year…. City gurl and I are shopping….driving around….sharing gossip…. getting a foot massage and pedicure…. and going to indulge in Japanese food. I couldn’t have asked for a better Saturday… However I do wish I had a heavier wallet or more money left in my bank ...

Today was one of my Grandma’s death anniversaries so my uncle and aunt had arranged for a meal to be given to a rather poor elders home in Panadura. I took the whole lot and drove them to the place. It broke my heart to see the suffering each one of them go through and they could really use some ...

This Asian daughter stays trapped in the realm of her parents. Her relations. To everything family related. All she wants is freedom…. space to live…. space to be free…. space to do everything she wants to do. She does not party. She does not misbehave. She only wants to live her life. She wants to travel. Experience life in different ...

Had an amazing sense of humour. My tummy would hurt after massive doses of laughter when he was around. Was too strict with me. But he had his reasons. He also allowed me to do certain things when mother was against them. He had the ability to understand better. Had the biggest heart. He always put others before himself. He ...

Y-day I had to accompany my mum to a homecoming of someone I didn’t know and met for the first time. So I wore the dress mummy instructed me to wear and I took her and went. I was bored out of my mind. The only person I knew was my mother and she kept muttering funny things to keep ...

A place that shows many dimensions of emotions. Hope overflows. Prayers get louder. Souls struggle to find peace. Some want their wishes to come true. Others come to thank for the wishes that came true. Some others, just struggle to find inner peace and end their suffering. They do their best. Act their best. Pray their best. But who listens ...
