The Miracle of Asia

Why I like this Country ! http://sasankadesilva.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/the-miracle-of-asia/

One For All and All For One.

After watching how kids and adults use shopping carts at Malls, I wrote a poem and published. http://jottify.com/works/shopping-carts/ A friend responded that many even ended up in rivers which was something I have not seen here, may be because of no rivers here or the flowing water streams are far far away from any big Malls. That reminds me of an incident in which, a group of friend in an inebriated state threw a couple of metal camping chairs in to a lake, without even thinking of the consequences. We were invited to a dinner party at a famous rowing club and after a couple of drinks everyone started boasting and the gang that I was leading was threatened to show that we were capable of doing what we had been telling them. Immediately I took one of the chairs and hurled it in to the water. I turned back with an inflated ego and chest to face the opposing gang and then I heard the familiar and distinctive sound of metal chair hitting water and sinking. Then I saw my good friend was ...

My Recent Surprised Birthday Party

Our house is in a Cul-de-sac. Every time when hearing a vehicle approaching my wife used to run outside as she was expecting someone or something. Finally she said the neighbours are having a party and they have ordered some chairs and have asked her to receive them as they were going out for some other work. The neighbour’s house is not well secured, hence I asked her to get them unloaded in our compound or otherwise she has to take the responsibility if any goes missing. She gladly accepted and got them stacked up in our compound when the delivery van finally pull-up. This was on my birthday. Someone sent me a text message wishing me on my birthday. Instead of replying back with a text, I called him up to say thank you for remembering me. He said he and his wife would be visiting some of their friends staying closer to our place and would try to drop in if time permits them to do so. I was not having much hope of them visiting me as he was less mobile after a spinal operation. Phone ...

Loudest Voice Is Not The Voice To Be Always Listening To.

There are two kinds of Patriots in Sri Lanka. 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 nothing to keep their country away from harm’s way. The loud and vocal kind is seasonal like mushrooms.  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 publicly 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 an internal threat. Ext...

Leftist University Students Movement and Multinationals

I WAS THINKING ?

මොකද මේ අපේ චන්ඩි බයවෙලා අද ? Isn’t it a disgrace when those who flaunt their academic achievements on the back of their vehicles could not maintain lanes on public roads? What qualifications Three Wheelers have but they are much civilized, If a man driving his kids to දහම් පාසල් has no respect for the pedestrians on Zebra crossing, what an example (දහම්) he is giving his kids? Feel like throwing up, whenever listen to FM channels here. Sinhala DJs’ cannot speak properly in Sinhala & English DJs’ are no better either, In a place where the productivity is extremely low, has anyone thought what impact it would have when a Cricket match is being shown live? Children shouldn't have any say in the issue of setting up Private Universities. They’ll get it when started contributing positively (+) to the society.
