I thought he was having the time of his life. It was his birthday. His desk was decorated with balloons. He was being showered with kisses from a lot of females. And when you are working in a bank a lot of females mean a lot.I nearly fell off my chair when someone whispered to me "This is absolute torture ...

Over 70% of those killed by elephants are drunk men. Did you know that? Neither did I!This was one of the many interesting facts which I have learnt after talking to several experts in the field of elephant conservation.To me you have to be a special kind of idiot to venture out in the dead of night wearing bright colored ...

It is said that the flutter of a butterfly's wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Tokyo. It seems that I am experiencing the reverse of it at my work place.The metaphorical tornado is of course the "Orlando" shooting. And the butterfly's wings that are flapping is one of my colleagues. My colleague was acting more angsty and irritable ...

You can’t find it on AirBnB. Neither can you find it in Tripadvisor. Hence my post on here. But this is a gem of a place right in the heart of the diplomatic district of Vienna. It is less than a minutes’ walk to the HaupBhanoff station. To call it a station is an understatement. Technically it is a giant ...

Actually the heading “The problem of perception” would have been better suited for this post. Whilst thinking of how to start this post my thoughts took a trip down memory lane. It was to an advertising campaign done by the Rolling Stone magazine. Not to sell more magazines. But rather to educate potential clients that their perception of the magazine’s ...

What an amazing view I rarely drink beer these days. But that doesn’t stop me from making notes of ideal places to have a beer when I am travelling.Guess old habits die hard.We were at the tail end of a thousand kilometer road trip and making our way from Tangalle to Matara in order to enter the high way. I ...

The comfort of your presence...sometimes it's all I need....just to feel you close....so eyes can meet via mirrorsmaking soft lips transform into a smileeven though rarely a word is exchangedit makes me feel warm inside.

"Oh goodness these Sri Lankan men are useless!""I will never even associate with any one from Sri Lanka - even though I am Sri Lankan"!"These people don't even know how to loving or be romantic""Or even how to make love properly".

He sits quietly in front of his computer… A luminous square of nothing staring back at him. Urging him… no challenging him to write something.He types… then deletes it. He types again… and deletes once more.The past few hours have been a constant cycle of typing and deleting. Someone has told him that he needs to open up. Be more ...

"I have prayed about this" she says looking at me defiantly! "Oh!" I say doing my level best to keep my face dead pan knowing very well that with those few words our discussion has reached a stale mate situation.We are having a conversation about a communication plan for an event. A task which she is not capable of handling ...

Bloody Peasants! This was the comment made on a fb post I had shared where Derana made an apology for criticizing Kishani Jayasinghe on singing "Danno Budunge" in an operatic style.I resented that comment.As much as I resented all the negative comments made about the performance.Because this, along with most of the other comments supporting the performance reeked of - ...
