Slowly but surely realising money can't buy happiness. In this current moment I have everything I need materially. My sisters lovely home in Pelwatta to live. An excellent valet who's also a great cook. A driver and car on call. A great bunch of friends. Even an extra bit of cash in hand. Back doing what I love the most, advertising. Back living in Sri Lanka. Yet my family and home are
And coming to you live from Colombo it's dD! One of those rare occurrences in life where everything kind of comes together and your actually happy. You think to yourself, hey this is cool, I don't make depressing posts on social media anymore. Not like the ones I made in England. Not even close.

‘When the true magic of this Vesak grabs you, you suddenly realise how soon we have taken to grant, our freedom from terrorism. How soon as we Sri Lankans always do, we manage to now strangle ourselves with that very freedom we fought so hard for. For every one of our mothers worried about what time we’ll come home. Such beauty, life, wasted. Sri Lanka, the
It's wonderful tropical night, light drizzle that continues from afternoon. It's pleasantly chilly and thick black darkness adds to this wonderful comfort. The fan buzzes busily high up over dD's head, further cooling the room. The storm in dD's from inside. Sometimes sounds that can't be described in words are like the words that can't be spoken. And in the name of Buddha, you are commanded to

Faith by dD. 14th April, 2014, Lord Murugan Temple, Kattaragama, Sri Lanka. We’re born to die. As dD travels more, dD accepts the beauty of life – the fact we all die.

Dear Family & Friends Best wishes for a fabulous New Year! dD has arrived in Pelawatte after an eventful pilgrimage. Not withstanding the bus ride and realisation of how Sri Lankans do not know about personal space or deodorant.
