I imagine by now everyone has pretty much casted their ballot. Ensured your voice was heard. Democracy practicedIt is just a matter of time before we find out what our people have decided.Who am I kidding, I am really finding it hard to focus. I have deadlines due this week but have been glued to the tv, glued to news ...
You know, how just when the world starts to seem magical and nice...Everything becomes hazy and confusing...you start seeing double visionsand all you can do is sleep.Hibernate almost, completely unaware of what is going on or why it is not where you would like it to be.But isn't everything happy, you ask yourself?Well, that's exactly the point. It is. It ...
It's been a while since I jotted down anything that felt like nothing. Inspirations come and go. Funny how they are fleeting. Like a feather in the wind. Once past, it is lost forever. What ever inspired a thought and torrent of words, never return. Disappear in to the air, just like where ever it came. I started writing that ...
"We can't prevent everything; we can't be ready for everything but the way we respond really makes a difference." So now we know how it ended. Love him or hate him, President Mahinda Rajapaksha made history in so many different ways. The potential he once had, is perhaps what I suspect the fleeting sadness we all felt, for a ...
The overarching issue that seems common and stand out the most, when discussing Greenwald’s No Place to Hide, the documentary on the Fukushima nuclear radiation as well as the documentary on the making of the movie Inside Job is the apathy of the general public. This seems universal, regardless of whether the issues are in Japan, or the United States. ...
Waiting is a part of travel. We anticipate the arrival of the train. Spotify music plays in my ears, as the train swooshes past me to a stop. The distinct two bells go off, warning of possible pedestrians who might try to kill themselves. Or so I imagine. I must blog more, I tell myself. I like the sense of ...
The broken chess pieces lay scattered on the kitchen counter, shards strewn across the floor. She didn't care. What had they been anyway? Another symbol of how she was a lone player on one side of the board, set for two. She would sit and stare outside, at the beautiful blue cloudless sky. Pretending to not notice the hands on ...
To Joseph, Leopord, Elie, Fulgence, Pio, Alphonse, Jean-Baptiste, Ignace and Pancrace, First and foremost, I write to you after deliberating over your accounts of killing in Machete Season. I must clarify, the reason I write to all of you, is because I wish to point out I have no particular preference for either one of you, I struggle to think ...
My days are blurry, these last few weeks. Maybe they were months. I can't really remember anymore.I battle with insomnia induced by caffeinated drinks at unholy hours of the day. Once a tea drinker, now a hopeless coffee addict. I think I battle slight fits of depression and anxiety too. Who knows. I push these things aside for my life ...
Only a passer by, Struck by the scenic beauty Of a random street corner And an ordinary tree One of so many... And yet, With that backdrop of blue sky and cloud One can only stop and stare Awed by the wonder Of the everyday, Treasuring these unexpected moments Of faith. Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.0
Everyone I know back home is visiting the book fair these days and I can't help but reminisce. Word of advice to the wanderers among those lovely books, the best are found in the bargain, second hand books section. Once I remember me and my friend found this treasure of a book on quotes for only 100 rupees. It turned ...
I have a couple of suggestions, just to make it better. Like taking out elections once and for all. What a waste, these election campaigns anyway. Let us not forget to welcome back the wonderful Deputy Minister Mervin Silva. Apparently the government cannot run without him...Politicians, may you all live long and prosper. May you live forever*! *(Leonidas in 300).
I know, I know...we are constantly hampered with these quotes on love. But this, I just had to share. I couldn't help thinking of a very dear friend of mine. What I like the most about this? It's simple straightforwardness. Just how love should be. "I love you. It's not a weight you must carry around. I love you. It's ...
