2016 was not a good year if you think about it on a global scale. There is a lot of this "us vs them" mentality going around which is quite frightening. Especially living in a country where you are considered a visible minority things get even more scarier. Hoping that 2017 will be a better year for humanity and hopefully ...
When my parents told me that I was going to Canada when I was in Sri Lanka, I was super excited. I was young and I had no idea the challenges/struggles and the general uncertainty of moving to a completely different country/culture. I just wanted to leave Sri Lanka because I wanted to be cool lol. I wanted to be ...
My cousin, her BF and I were having a celebratory drink the other day and her BF said the most wisest thing - "You only have to grow up when you need to". I do consider myself an adult and I am trying my best to think when I started "adulting". I think for me it was when I came ...
So .. I have decided to marry a sudda ... yes yes I know, I know how could I have betrayed my birth land and go over to the "dark side" in this case it is the "light side" (get it ..). Anyway, this decision was made because I took a good look at who I am and realized that ...

So I have been planning a trip down to Sri Lanka sometime this year. One of my best friends is getting married and ever since we were children we promised each other we would go to each others weddings (cute right?). The last time was in Sri Lanka was in 2008 and I know a lot has happened since then ...
Ah the dreaded question that almost all Sri Lankan girls over 25 get bombarded with. It's really not fun .. to be quite honest to see your friends get married and have children. It seems like every single time I open up facebook or any type of social media, people are getting married. I mean its the thing to do ...
There are so many things that you just don't get to do when you are confined to the Sri Lankan community boundaries overseas. For example, I never camped - I mean cmon what brown person really camps? My parents logic is this: why would I pack up all this "gear" (they don't know what camping gear consists of FYI), put up a ...
Its been almost a year since I contributed to my blog. Its so amazing to look back at my past posts and say .. WTF was I thinking! I was so in love, I was out of love and then I went through a dangerous confusing phase of - I don't want this but I am going to suck it ...
