Stone Age or Digital Era ?

This matrimonial advertisement appeared in one of the weekend newspapers today. 

Quote:

Female university lecturers preferred, ​should not be from Galle or Matara districts. Reply with all details. 

Unquote.

I could not believe my eyes seeing it and thinking that such people do exist in this century still.

One may argue that it is his or their choice.

Yes, I agree that it was his or their choice but choices, as this made with prejudices, are going to harm society more, if allows to propagate openly and or discreetly.

Such people belong to the Stone age and not to the Digital era.

I feel sorry for the unlucky woman going into that household if they are really lucky to find one.

What a disappointment Colombo Hippie Market Today !

Colombo Hippie Market.

I will not mince my words, but it was a total disappointment today.

First the venue was changed, a few hours ahead of the event and that too was in the middle of the night, putting those who have reserved stalls in a very uncomfortable situation.

Secondly, the chosen venue was a rugby football ground and stalls were allocated on top of the terraces.

All those who have come there were not only young and hippies.

There were families, ladies and elderly among them.

Most refused to climb up those huge terrace steps (mean for sitting to watch matches being played) to reach up to upper level of the stalls installed, thus depriving some of a chance even to recover the hefty admission fees paid to get a place in the market.

Lastly, there was only one lady from the organising committee and she was too busy (with her own works) to even to listen to anyone’s difficulties.

P.s.

Even the refreshments facilities organised were very poor and people who were visiting had not much choice to select from and the products were priced too high as well.
