This post is for my friend Christine. These last two weeks she invited me to stay at her beautiful home, while she travelled for work. Her home,her energy, her fiercely romantic heart, and the way she believes in true love surrounded me and filled my dreams. All credit for this post goes to her. Thank […]
Last weekend i head to the Reading Public library with my brother. Picked up a book with a title which included the word “Gadfly.” I didn’t know what a Gadfly was, but it sounded interesting. I put the book to my test and low and behold 5 pages in, my brother had to shake me from my [...]
“Autumn” was written in October, “Winter” was written at the begining of December. Despite the “perfect writing weather” I lost my words. I lost them in Sri Lanka. So here is “Sri Lanka” my attempt to decipher my experience there, and try to find my words again. Autumn The wind hummed, thrashing the fallen leaves against […]
** DISCLAIMER. A few weeks ago I was on Vicadin because of the cellulitis in my hand. I had written this on a groggy evening, post ER visit. Thoughts coming like a flood. I can hear every level of sound. The telly, the music from the kitchen, the conversations, Nam singing, the sound of the [...]
As 4th of July weekend dawned I found myself inordinately free, alone and full of time. I had taken the Friday after the 4th off, and created a lovely long weekend for myself yet every plan for the time-off fell through. I can’t say I was disappointed though, for a relaxing weekend of doing whatever […]
I wrote this a couple of weeks ago. It’s funny how life works out. My need to do more is currently being filled with more responsibility and general busy-ness at work. I love my job. It’s crazy and most of the time I’m spinning- but I love the urgency and energy. I love the team […]
I was talking today with my brother about the feeling of being in a new place. I’m house sitting/cat sitting for a friend of mine this week and I’ve noticed a difference in my mood, energy and attitude. My brother, the spiritual, intelligent man that he has turned into said, “it’s because you’re mind is […]
Sometimes a statement can be made without a single word. This powerful image addressed the issue better than any news report, political rant, facebook status or tweet ever could. “Copyright- https://twitter.com/VanJones68/status/356296960740835328/photo/1″ Filed under: The Fight
I found this article saved in my old files… Had me reminiscing about high school, and how recent it all feels. But mostly i was remembering my best friends… and how somehow we have managed to fight the illusion that end of high school means the end of our friendship. Eternally grateful to have these […]
This weekend I had the opportunity to experience the Mansions and majesty of Newport, Rhode Island. On Saturday morning Malli (which means younger brother in Sinhalese) woke up and said, “What shall we do today?” Spring was finally upon us, and the cool air and warm sun was beckoning. We first thought about Kayaking but [...]
A friend of mine who is quickly getting sucked into the delicious world of cricket sent me a speech made by the Late Mr. Lakshman Kadirgama. He was a great man, taken tragically from our country. I am honored to stand among him as a Sri Lankan Cricket fan. There is no one else like […]
Today was a day of unexpected wonder. Started the gloomy Saturday with my usual rooftop ritual. It was my last day of solitude, as Ma was landing this evening. I met my colleague Chuta at the hotel and we went to MBK mall. After about 30 minutes with her I realised one way to easily […]
It’s been an interesting couple of months. And it really has been a couple of months since I have had a moment to put a thought on paper. I’m so used to writing about emotions, and yet I struggle to write about career. And these days its career that is really in flux in my […]
August 31st, 11:17pm (2 days before the new tenants move in) The new tenants are moving in on Monday…How does my room still look like this??? I have to figure out what I’m bringing to Bangkok in the first round. And then what I’m bringing to Bangkok in the second round. And finally what I’m […]
A storm is brewing. So are the Bruins on this night of game 6 between the Boston Bruins and the Chicago Black Hawks. The stormy conditions and the temperature of the emotions outside TD Garden are virtually identical molecule-to-molecule; the energy is high, as are the tensions. The Bruins are down one and will lose […]
Reblogged from The Fight In Me: He sat in the T. Tailored gray pinstrip suit, and a fashionable cashmere scarf; highlighted by a baby pink hanky peeking out of his chest pocket. His perfectly polished shoes standing defiantly out against the dreary, dirty, frankly disgusting floor of the train. She sat across from him. Fedora, […]
Reblogged from The Fight In Me:[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvYjgP01jbk&w=640&h=552] I spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the woods of the Breakheart reservation. It was a perfect day really. I woke up to complete and total silence. Namali slept like a rock beside me, not even her breath moved the air in the room. It was cold and I […]
It’s so cold outside, that instead of leaving my body in tufts of powdery steam, I imagine my breath drops to the floor in dull thumps; matching the uneven rhythm of my each cramped step. My muscles tense and goosebumps chaff against the stiff sandpaper of my jeans. The city is a awash in ugly […]
It was a fairytale. But then again most things that happen to me are fairy tales. I seem completely incapable of having a moment of any kind, without some magic, some drama, some soul wrenching, heart pounding moment of absolute insanity. Though to say this dramatic interpretation of events is a consequence of my overactive […]
