Why Girls do not like Yellow Sunglasses?
Why Girls do not like Yellow Sunglasses?
Not only to wear them on, but even to let others wear.
I like them but both women in my life (my wife & daughter) say in unison “ No, not that one please ”.
I asked them why and the only answer I ever got was two identically grimaced faces.
I asked my male friends and the only answer ever I got from them was a resigning shrug.
If you do not believe me, watch the movie “ Kate & Leopold ” before thinking of buying one out for you.
And if you know the answer to this enigma, please let me know.
Seriously, I am curious.

Child in the Crowd
When the Emperor paraded before his Subjects in his newly woven clothes, a child in the crowd cries out, “Look he isn't wearing anything at all!”
And in the modern days, many of us are like the subjects in the “Emperor’s new clothes” story.
For the fear of losing something, many tend to keep their mouths shut even when the truth is obvious and pretend that everything around us is just fine and working in perfect harmony, although they are not.
And who takes the front seats of this phenomenon are the professionals, religious and minority leaders to name a few.
The day you become or try to become the “Child in the Crowd”, you will be branded as a traitor and or a person inciting religious and or racial disharmony.
But as long as we act like the subjects did, they will do exactly what the weavers did to the Emperor in the first place.
Fleece!
How long are we going to allow the modern day Weavers to fleece us?
When do we get the courage to be that “Child in the Crowd”?
Do not be afraid of speaking your mind out loud, not in hatred but only to tell the TRUTH.

Beware ! Foot soldiers are in action !
I posted on my FB wall “ Beware ! Foot soldiers of the Looter gang are already in action everywhere ”.
Sudden interest of needing to change the present regime is taking momentum in every social media platforms.
Some hide behind saffron colour robes and some behind their Professional Titles.
This is in no way in endorsing most of the actions hitherto taken by the present regime.
They miserably failed and the peoples trust was pawned for a few political mileages.
That is another subject.
The sudden interest of wanting to change the present regime was taken my interest too being a concerned citizen.
But the more I prod for answers, all what I had been getting were වැට උඩ answers than anything conclusive.
This baffles me and I did some of my own detective works quietly and then I realized that these calls for changes are not really coming from concerned citizens.
They are indeed being funded by the previous “ Looter Murder Gang “ from their plundered public money to create an atmosphere to enable them to crawl back into politics in big way again.
So, beware.
Calls will come in many different segments, in robes, from so-called professionals etc and in many different voices, but they all have one agenda and that is none other than to bring back the Looter Murder Gang to power again.
Do you want the Looter Murder Gang back in power again?
I leave that question for your good Conscience to answer.

Abolition of Free Education in Sri Lanka
( This was my rejoinder to a post appeared in another social media forum, advocating the abolition of Free Education in Sri Lanka ).
When we ( my wife & I ) attended our daughter’s induction ceremony at the university a few years back, the VC in his speech mentioned that the government was spending more than Seven hundred thousand rupees on every student attending that particular degree programmer.
After the speeches, we were served traditional Sri Lankan food ( කිරි බත්, කැවුම්, කෙසෙල් සහ තේ ) by some senior students.
That time, I was in much relaxed state of mind and I had an opportunity to observe my other fellow parents.
They all were brimming from ear to ear with happiness.
Among the crowd there were so many in clean cloths but that have not even being pressed to suit the occasion and their footwear had seen much better days to say the least.
While returning home, I told my wife that I am happy, not only because our daughter got admitted to one of the best universities in the country but sitting among the crowd I was really able to see the real fruits of the C.W.W.K’s free education movement.
Some days, I go to fetch her from the university and we used to stop by a small පෙට්ටි කඩේ in front of the university to buy one of my favorite රොටි from there and then I have seen those who are from far flung places and thus forced to find cramped and unhealthy accommodation, buying their dinner before heading to their boarding places.
Most buy either Two රොටි and or One එළවලු රොටි and that was all their dinner.
A cup of tea, perhaps later.
Perhaps, Rupees 700,000 is a small change for a few fortunate ones but for majority of Sri Lankans’ (including me), it is still a very large sum of money.
Some born with a silver spoon in their mouths may advocate abolishing the Free Education system in Sri Lanka, but I am an ardent supporter of it.
And we will not let it go without a mighty fight either.

Every Other Person in Sri Lanka a Patriot Now !
Just before the Indian independence, the Colonial masters held Gandhiji behind bars for his non-violent freedom seeking activities.
So were many other Indians found guilty of defecating along the railway lines.
When he was finally released from the captivity along the others who were also held there, because of defecating charges (due to over-crowding situation), they were the first people to rush out from their cells, shouting Freedom slogans.
There was a time in Sri Lanka not so long ago that the Armed forces were having a very tough time recruiting new carders to supplement their drive and the government was mulling the idea of conscription to solve the issue.
The forces have to go to far flung villages in abject poverty to get young boys and girls to join them.
They joined not because for their love for the country but to feed their families as no other vocation was available to them in those villages which are blighted with No schools, hospitals, roads, electricity and irrigational infrastructure to toil on the land even.
Now, to add insult to injury they are forced to sell Fish, Vegetable and coconuts in their decorated uniforms on roadsides, thanks to our myopic economic policies, mismanagement and rampant corruption.
Now every other person in Sri Lanka is a patriot but where were they when the country wanted their participation most.
Those who were hiding under beds, like the ones who were held for defecating charges were the ones who are making the biggest noise now.
Where were you then Guy & Gals who are trumpeting on mass media now ?

Loudest Voice is not the Voice to be Listened always.
One is the silent kind who really understands the real meaning of patriotism and does everything that is possible in their own small ways to ensure that no harm is done to their beloved country.
The other kind is the most vocal and most loud kind.
They show their patriotism only in public but do not thing to keep their country away from harm’s way.
The loud and vocal kind is seasonal, like flu.
They appear like mushrooms after a rain, when something perceived to be harmful to the country only.
Let me explain this a little more.
Take the recent Geneva meet and the subsequent voting.
The social networks and blogs were awash with them publically bullshitting patriotism.
The vote is over now and none of them are anywhere to be seen again until the next rain.
The reputation, integrity etc of any country can be harmed in two ways.
First is an external threat and the second is internal threat.
External threats can be negated with diplomacy and even with war but the internal one is not.
It is like a cancer within and even an amputation too sometimes would not bring the desired effects.
These Patriot Bull-shitters are happy to tolerate the rampant corruption within the country which is throttling any likely positive development in any foreseeable future, but are happy to maintain their silence.
In my view; maintaining silence is endorsing corruptions.
Instead of bull-shitting in public when an external threat is likely to come, they should put their loud voices to talk about the internal threats too.
Stop bull-shitting in public and please do your bits to save the country.
Do not expect some outsider to come and clean the mess that we have created ourselves.
Loudest voice is not the voice to be listened always.
( Again this was a old write up and appeared a few years back in another place. Yet I believe the contents are applicable even for today, thus decided to re-post here )

කරපිංචා ගැන නොදත් තතු
විස රසායන උරාගන්නා හොද්දේ කරපිංචා කෑම හොඳ නෑ.
වර්තමානයේදී ලාංකීය සමාජය තුළ පිළිකා, වකුගඩු ආදි රෝගාබාධවලට ගොදුරු වූවන් බහුල වී ඇත. බොහෝ දෙනෙකුගේ මතය වන්නේ අප ගන්නා ආහාරවල තිබෙන වස විස ඉහත රෝග බහුල වීමට හේතු වී ඇති බවය. එය බොහෝ දුරට සැබෑවක් විය හැකිය. අද අපට වෙළෙඳ පොළෙන් මිලදී ගැනීමට සිදුවී ඇත්තේ අධික ලෙස කාමිනාශක, වල් නාශක යෙදු එළවළු සහ පලතුරුය.
වස විස නොයෙදූ ආහාර ලෙස කෑමට තිබෙන්නේ කොස් දෙල් වැනි දේ පමණි.
වස විස නැතැයි පැවසෙන කාබනික පොහොර යොදා සැකසූ එළවළු වර්ග වෙළෙඳ පොළෙහි නැතිවා නොවේ. එහෙත් ඒවායේ මිල අධිකය. කෙසේ හෝ අද අප සමාජයේ බහුතරයකට කෑමට සිදු වී තිබෙන්නේ වස විස යෙදූ ආහාරය.
වස විසෙන් තොරව ආහාර ද්රව්ය වගා කරන්නේ කෙසේ ද? එසේම වස විස පහව යන පරිදි ආහාර ද්රව්ය පිළියෙල කරගන්නේ කෙසේ ද කියා අපේ මුතුන් මිත්තෝ ඉතා හොඳින් දැන සිටියහ. එසේම දේශීය වෛද්ය ක්රමයේ ද වස විසෙන් තොරව ආහාර පිළියෙල කරගන්නේ කෙසේදැයි සඳහන් වේ. ස්වභාවික ද්රව්ය වන කුළුබඩු යොදා පෝෂ්යදායි විස රහිත ආහාර පිළියෙල කිරීමේ සංස්කෘතියක් අප සතුය. සිංහල වෛද්ය ක්රමයේ ද ආහාර පිළියෙල කිරීම සඳහා යොදා ගන්නා කුළුබඩුවල තිබෙන වටිනාකම මනා ලෙස සඳහන් කර තිබේ. දේශීය වෛද්ය ක්රමයට අනුව කුළුබඩු අයත් වන්නේ “ආහාර යෝගී” ද්රව්ය ගණයටය. සිංහල වෙදකම පිළිබඳව විස්තර වන “චරක සංහිතාව” නම් ග්රන්ථයේ ආහාර වර්ග 11 ක් පිළිබඳව සඳහන් වේ. ඒ ශාක වර්ගය, ඵල වර්ගය, හරිත වර්ගය, ආහාර යෝගී වර්ගය.... ආදි වශයෙනි. මේ අතරින් කුළුබඩු අයත් වන්නේ ආහාර යෝගී වර්ගයටය.
කරපිංචා - මේද හරණී ගුණය
අපේ කුළුබඩු මුළු මහත් ලෝකයෙහිම ප්රසිද්ධය. අප භාවිත කරන කුළුබඩු අතරට ද්රව්ය ගණනාවක්ම අයත් වේ. කරපිංචා සහ රම්පෙ එලෙස කුළුබඩු අතරට අයත් වන ආහාර යෝගී ද්රව්යයන් දෙවර්ගයකි. කරපිංචා සහ රම්පෙ වර්තමානයේදී බොහෝ සේ කතාබහට ලක්වන්නට පටන්ගෙන තිබේ. විශේෂයෙන්ම කරපිංචා පිළිබඳව. ඒ කරපිංචා සතු විස නැසීමේ ගුණය සහ කොලෙස්ටරෝල් මේදය ශරීරයෙන් අඩු කිරීමේ ගුණය පිළිබඳවය.
දේශීය වෛද්ය ක්රමයේදී මෙය හඳුන්වනු ලබන්නේ මේද හරනී ගුණය ලෙසය. ඒ සඳහා බහුලව භාවිත වන්නේ කරපිංචා කොළ කැඳය. කරපිංචා කොළවලින් සාදාගන්නා කැඳ පානය කළ නොහැකි නම් වෙනත් ඖෂධීය කොළ වර්ගයකින් කැඳ සාදන විට කරපිංචා කොළ යම් ප්රමාණයක් එයට එක්කර කොළ කැඳ සාදා ගත හැකිය. එසේම කරපිංචා, සුදු ලූනු, ගොරකා, උළුහාල් සහ කුරුඳු ස්වල්පයක් ගෙන දියෙන් අඹරා සාදාගන්නා මිශ්රණය ලුණු දෙහි වැනි ආහාර රුචිය වඩවන උත්තේජකයක් ලෙස ද යොදා ගත හැකිය.
රුධිර කැටි ගැසීම වළකයි
කටුක රසයෙන් යුතු කුරුඳු කරපිංචා වැනි කුළුබඩුවල ශරීරයේ රුධිර කැටි ඇතිවීම වැළැක්වීමේ ගුණය ඇති බව මීට වසර හයදහසකට පමණ පෙර පටන් අපේ මුතුන්මිත්තන් දැන සිටි බව චරක සංහිතාවනම් දේශීය වෙදකම පිළිබඳව ලියැවුණු ග්රන්ථයේ සඳහන් වේ.
කරපිංචා සම්බෝලය
සර්පයකු දෂ්ට කළ විට අපේ පැරැණියන් දුන්නේ කරපිංචා කැඳය. කරපිංචා කැඳ සාදා ගන්නේ කරපිංචා කොළ යම් ප්රමාණයකට සහල් සහ පොල් කිරි මිශ්ර කර පිළියෙල කර ගැනීමෙනි. අද ද සර්පයකු දෂ්ට කළ විට කරපිංචා කැඳ බීමට දෙන්නේ කරපිංචා සතු විස නැසීමේ මහගු ගුණය හේතුවෙනි. එසේම භූමිතෙල් වැනි ශරීරයට විස ගෙන දෙන ද්රව්යයන් ශරීරගත වූ විට ද කරපිංචා කැඳ බීමට දෙන්නේ කරපිංචා සතු එම විස නැසීමේ ගුණය නිසාය. කරපිංචාවලින් සාදා ගන්නා සම්බෝලය ශරීරයට ඉතා ගුණ දෙන කොලෙස්ටරෝල් මේදය ශරීරයෙන් ඉවත් කිරීමේ හැකියාව ඇති ආහාරයකි.
විස නසන ඇඹුල් තියල්
ගොඩබිම තිබෙන විස සියල්ල අවසානයේදී ගමන් කරන්නේ මහ මුහුදටය. එම විස, මුහුදෙන් අල්ලාගන්නා මාළුන් තුළ ද යම් පමණකට ඇත. මාළු ඇඹුල් තියල් ලෙස සකසන්නේ මාළුවල තිබෙන එම විස ඉවත් කිරීමටය. ඇඹුල් තියල් මිශ්රණයට ගොරකා, ගම්මිරිස් මෙන්ම කරපිංචා ද අයත් වේ. ඇතැමුන් ඇඹුල් තියල් මිශ්රණය දැවටු මාළු කැබලි වළඳෙහි තබන්නේ කරපිංචා කොළ තට්ටුවක් උඩින්ය. එලෙස සකසන ලද මාළුවල තිබෙන ඇඹුල් තියල් මිශ්රණය ඉවත් කර මාළු කැබලි ආහාරයට ගත හැකිය. මෙහිදී ද භාවිත වන්නේ කරපිංචා සතු විස නැසීමේ ගුණයයි.
කරපිංචා සතු මහඟු ගුණ එසේ වුවද ව්යංජනවල තිබෙන කරපිංචා කොළ ආහාරයට ගැනීම පිළිබඳව දෙවරක් සිතිය යුතු බවට නවතම මතයක් සමාජයේ ඇතිවී ඇත. ඒ පිළිබඳව පර්යේෂණ කළ විද්වතුන්ගේ අදහස වන්නේ කෘෂි රසායන යොදා වගා කරන ලද එළවළු ආහාර ලෙස පිළියෙල කිරීමේදී කරපිංචා යොදාගත් විට එම එළවළුවල තිබෙන විස ද්රව්ය කරපිංචා කොළවලට උරාගත හැකි බවය. මෙම තත්ත්වය වඩාත් බරපතළ සහ භයානක වන්නේ එළවළුවල නැවුම් බව ආරක්ෂා කර ගැනීම සඳහා එළවළු නෙළීමට දවසකට පමණ පෙර ඇතැම් ගොවීන් කෘමිනාශක යෙදීමට පෙලඹී ඇති නිසාය. එබැවින් ගෙවත්තෙන් නෙළාගන්නා එළවළු පිළියෙල කරගන්නා අවස්ථාවලදී හැර ව්යංජනයේ තිබෙන කරපිංචා ආහාරයට නොගැනීම වඩාත් සුදුසුය. එහෙත් නිවෙසේදී සාදාගන්නා ලද කිරි හොද්දේ තිබෙන කරපිංචා කොළය කිසිසේත්ම විසි කළ යුතු නැත.
ආහාර සුවඳවත් කිරීමට යොදාගන්නා රම්පෙ පිළිබඳව ද එවැනිම මතයක් ඉදිරිපත් වී ඇත. රම්පෙ යොදා ගන්නේ කිසියම් ආහාරයකින් ප්රසන්න සුවඳක් ලබා ගැනීමටය. බොහෝ ගෘහිණියෝ බත පිසීමේදී රම්පෙ කොළ කැබැල්ලක් බතට එක් කිරීමට පුරුදුව සිටිති. එයින් බතට ප්රිය උපදවන සුවඳක් ලැබේ. ඇතැම් ව්යංජන පිසීමේදී ද රම්පෙ කොළ කැබැල්ලක් යොදා ගැනීමට ගෘහිණියෝ පුරුදු වී සිටිති. ව්යංජනයක් පිසීමේදී අධික උෂ්ණත්වයට පත්වූ විට එහි කිසියම් විසක් තිබේ නම් එම විස ද්රව්ය ක්රියාකාරී වී රම්පෙ කැබැල්ලට උරා ගැනීමේ හැකියාවක් ඇත. වඩාත් සුදුසු වන්නේ ව්යංජනය ළිපෙන් බා ගත් පසුව රම්පෙ කැබැල්ල ඉවත් කිරීමය. එසේ නොවුණහොත් රම්පෙ කැබැල්ලේ තිබෙන විස ද්රව්යයන් නැවත ව්යංජනයට එක්විය හැකිය.
විස නසන මුරුංගා කොළ
මුරුංගා කොළ සතුව ද විස නැසීමේ ගුණයක් ඇත. ඉස්සන් පිසින විට මුරුංගා දළු ස්වල්පයක් යොදා ගන්නේ එබැවිනි. මුරුංගාවල කැල්සියම් බහුලය. කැල්සියම් අපේ ශරීරයට ඉතා අවශ්ය වන පෝෂක ද්රව්යයකි. එහෙත් මුරුංගා කොළවලින් කොළ කැඳ සාදා බීම පිළිබඳව නැවත සිතා බැලිය යුතුය. විශේෂයෙන්ම මුරුංගා කොළ කැඳවල තිබෙන රසායන ද්රව්ය කුඩා දරුවනට දරා ගත නොහැකිය. මුරුංගා කොළ කැඳ පානය කළ දරුවන් කීප දෙනෙකු වෙතින් ඔක්කාරය සහ තවත් රෝග ලක්ෂණ පෙන්නුම් කර ඇත්තේ එබැවිනි. මුරුංගා කොළ සහ දළු ආහාර පිසීමේදී යොදා ගැනීම වරදක් නොවුවද මුරුංගා කොළවලින් කොළ කැඳ සාදා පානය කිරීම එතරම් සුදුසු නැත. දේශීය වෛද්ය ක්රමය තුළ ද මුරුංගා කොළ කැඳ පිළිබඳව සඳහන් නොවන්නේ එබැවිනි.
නෙළුම් අල ව්යංජනයක් ලෙස සකසා ආහාරයට ගැනීම පිළිබඳව ද අද විවිධ මත සමාජයේ ඇත. වර්තමානයේදී කුඹුරට යොදන විස රසායන ද්රව්ය වැවේ තිබෙන නෙළුම් ගසට උරා ගැනීමක් සිදු වේ. වෙළෙඳ පොළෙහි තිබෙන නෙළුම් අලය නිෙවසට ගෙනැවිත් කෙළින්ම ව්යංජනයක් ලෙස සකසා ගත් විට නෙළුම් අලවල තිබෙන විස ද්රව්ය ශරීරගත විය හැකිය.
අපේ මුතුන් මිත්තන් නෙළුම් අල ව්යංජනය සැකසීමේදී විශේෂ ක්රමයක් අනුගමනය කළේ නෙළුම් අලවල ඇති විස ද්රව්ය ඉවත් කිරීමටය. ඔවුන් නෙළුම් අල ව්යංජනය සැකසුවේ මේ ආකාරයටය.
පළමුව නෙළුම් අල සිහින් පෙති ලෙස කපාගෙන කැකුළු සහල් මිටක් සහ ජලය දමා තම්බා ගනු ලැබේ. එහිදී කැකුළු සහල් සමඟ ඇති ජලයට නෙළුම් අලවල තිබෙන විස ද්රව්ය සහ බැර ලෝහ උරා ගනී. ඉන් පසු නෙළුම් අල කැබලි වෙන් කරගෙන කිරි දමා ව්යංජනය සකසා ගත හැකිය.

Modern-day Feudalism
Recently, I was involved in some heated discussions on one of the internet forums and some of the irritant topics to many that I brought to surface where the level of corruptions, lack of transparency, foreign debts and the efforts to smother the freedom of speech.
None of the participants were able to give any convincing answers, instead restored to whipping some other political parties, some other religious establishments and those who represent minorities’ interests up.
One personal experience I quoted was one of my friends was trying to bribe his daughter in to a super grade school in Colombo, when the same person openly says that the corruption is a thing in the past and the new man in the driving seat has already seen to it.
When confronted, why he then needed such an intervention, when everything is fixed already, he meekly said, otherwise she would be left behind (not the very same words).
His house is like a shrine dedicated to his man now on the driving seat, yet privately he has different agendas.
The same phenomenon was much evident, even during some of the heated discussions mentioned earlier.
Some were ready to portray Sri Lankan as one only second to the Heaven (not in religious terms but only figuratively speaking terms) and started whipping up the western and other developed nations blaming all our failures on them.
Yet most of the participants were happy to enjoy all the benefits derived from living in those decadent societies.
Why are they unable to return back to their place of birth and the country that they are so desperately trying to portray as the next best thing to the heaven, and sadly they too like my friend who was trying to bribe someone to get a placement for his daughter have thousand other vague excuses.
They live, work, send their kids to schools and universities there, have a comfortable life, enjoy the benefits of having placements based on merits than anything else, transparency and most importantly the freedom of speech, which most or all of them are non existence in the their so-called heaven.
This is what I see as the modern-day feudalism.
The Apple Polishers do not want their compatriots to know that there is another world far better and much different than theirs, beyond their tiny hamlets.
The moment when others come to know that there is another world beyond their hamlet is much better and open, they too would aspire to be there and or demand the same conditions in their tiny hamlets too.
Once that happened, the status quo would be broken.
The best example is the present Arab spring uprising engulfing most parts of the region.
Once the status quo is broken, many who preach so much rubbish but not put them in to practice know very well that their and their families places in the pecking order of the society would be drastically changed, not because of anything else but all what they enjoy today, have been obtained only thanks to the virulent and rampant corruptions (in one form or the other) in their heaven.
No Merit, No Transparency.
If the placements are based only on merits, many sarong clad children and young men from many tiny hamlets would overtake them like a Ferrari overtaking a Micro on a race track.
The outcome of such a contest is too obvious and needs no further elaborations.
Then why to upset the apple cart but enjoy polishing apples and preach rubbish which none of them have any idea of putting in to practice.
If they are really determined to see the country changes from its present position to a developed nation, then why so reluctant to come back and infuse whatever expertise that you have gained, while staying in those decadent societies.
Speak openly and oppose to corruptions and malpractices.
Demand placements solely based on merit and not on connections, wealth or any other criteria.
Most importantly preach only what you follow than the other way around.
During one such discussion, somebody mentioned that we need farsighted leaders.
I do not think that we need leaders in this century too.
What we only need is some capable people to represent us (Representatives and not Leaders) and to turn aspirations of the people in to realities than megalomaniacs to plunder the wealth of the people on legacy creating ventures and stifling aspirations of the people to ensure the continuity in their places in pecking order of the society for a long time to come.
(This was written a few years back and the man referred in the driving seat is no more as well. But the gist is even applicable to today's society too).
