Anybody else aware of the outrageously flirty Kelly Felder pretty boys? ;) I've been a huge fan of the brand ever since they've just begun to put some of their stuff over at ODEL. Bought a pair of their jeans a good many years ago and had been hooked ever since. It was about a few years back they ...

The weekend had been nonexistent. Things had just swished past with no trace at all to what had happened to the hours that usually drag by. The Lady had been dismayed. A novel awaits to be written, so does a collection of poetry to be edited and finalized. But before long the time has evaporated, like sweat before an ...

To the land of sarees and back. In one piece with not much of collateral damage. I am pretty sure that I shall burst out crying if anyone so much as mentions sarees within the next few weeks. The things I do for my brother! I felt like kissing the non-urinated, non-desecrated, betel spit unstained ground at arrival in ...

Why is it that the victims in all these horror movies insist on running in the middle of the road when they are being chased by a car (or truck or bulldozer, etc)? Why doesn't it ever occur to them that they should get off the road (at least run on the pavement like a good pedestrian should) or run ...

If there is something that I absolutely despise in the world that would be waiting. Whether it be waiting for photos to upload, dressed and waiting for others to get ready, waiting for a response to an email, waiting for a much awaited call, waiting till a much awaited day, waiting is a tedious task. If I had it my ...

Sitting in the balcony letting the thoughts run awash. Its finally shining. Well barely. And hence the breezy thought provocation. The sky is strangely bland. Not a cloud in sight. It's strangely depressing, somewhat empty and stale. Its the kind of a decrepit stale you find in deserted colonial inns and empty hotel rooms that had just been vacated. Its ...

Beginning to hate rainy days. Specially nights. This is a little too much. Everything feels so cold and clammy. Ugh! And cloths smell funny too. Just took the entire wardrobe out and put them out to air. Doggy is all wet too. Comes cuddling with his fur coat wet and all. Had to shoo him off several times. Poor thing. ...

So the temple next door is having one of its lengthy and extremely noisy Bodhi Pooja's again. I can barely hear myself think. This is the 2000th one as I heard. (Yes, the 2000th, I kid you not). And they are being conducted by this super arrogant monk to whom Father Dearest fondly refers to as the බෝධි පූජා කොමසාරිස් ...

The Lady's head is quite muddled up. Red, yellow and fish rains, aliens, Sri Lanka coming on top of sex searches, brutal rapes, etc, etc, etc........it really is too much to wrap one's head around. The world is enraged over the rape of one girl. Suddenly, protest against rape, the safety of the womankind has become the in thing. The ...

Christmas came and went. Wasn't as christmassy this time so there was no real sense of exhilaration as there usually is at this time of the year. Made Christmas goodies as usual, out of habit than out of enthusiasm and shared Christmas dinner with The Darling's family. Happy family time. Grouchy as there has not been any worthwhile gigs or ...

Went on a date with myself. Not that I planned it, it just turned out that way. Nevertheless, I had a good time. Turns out I am very good company. A quiet breakfast out with a book to keep me company. I sat there watching people passing by. It felt good just sitting there, not participating in the hubbub of ...

It's decided. I'm eloping. When I do make up my mind to get married and settled down that is. No big, frilly, fancy and flowery wedding for me please. No long and torturous hours of smearing sticky gooey stuff on the face, draping yard after yard of shiny sequined material around myself. No bottles of hairspray and hair gel emptied ...

Have you ever noticed the way women try to eat food without getting their lipstick smudged? It always makes me laugh, the way they open their mouths wide, draw back their lips and stick out their teeth (this reminds me of a cartoon horse that I've seen on TV) chomp off a gigantic bite (probably because this entire course of ...

If anybody was wondering (I highly doubt it) I'm alive!!! Survived two weddings and I'm still standing! Well, sitting to be precise but I can stand if I wanted to :) It all passed by - the flowers, the excess of sugary sickly sweetness, the clone-like straight haired people in masks of makeup (I managed to pass with a minimal ...

So here I am body hairless and eyebrow-less (well, relatively less) ready for the weddingS tomorrow. The chirpy girls at the salon who are supposed to do my makeup tomorrow (I do not own any makeup and do not enjoy wearing any except for black eyeliner - a bare essential) insisted that I be hairless to look pretty tomorrow for ...

Me is strangely philosophic tonight. Me is strangely restless too. Well, not that strange cz restlessness is sort of my second nature. It seems Christmassy already and its not even December yet. There is that warm, golden and deliciously syrupy feeling already in the air. Its so very exciting this sensation. Its like the world is getting ready for this ...

Why, oh WHY is it that most institutions make it an utterly unnecessary ridiculous point to turn their air conditions on full blast even in the most spine glaceing weathers? I found myself wondering as I sat there shivering in my imaginary socks as I paid a visit to the doctor (I think his middle name is never-on-time) today to ...

Down with that abominable flu. Surviving on a diet of Marmite, pills and woodapple jam since yesterday. The only tastes that my taste buds will even remotely register is the utmost sweet and the acrid sour. Anything else just goes down as pure, awful bitterness at the base of the throat. Which automatically makes eating a real chore. Therefore the ...

Dropped by the NLDSB (National Library and Documentation Service Board) to drop off a copy of "Scattered" as obtaining an ISBN number requires me to. Now this being a government office (and we all know the amount of pain one has to endure to get anything done in one) was prepared to vehemently, violently and exquisitely tell several individuals off ...

Thought I'd take some time off rambling and post two reviews that had been done on my collection of poetry "Scattered." Click the link below to find the review written by Mrs Vijita Fernando, the venerated writer who is also the current president of the English Writers Cooperative of Sri Lanka. http://www.nation.lk/edition/literature/item/11356-economically-scattered.html Then one of my dear friends, Ramindu, a ...
