𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒂𝒊𝒍 ( දුක් ගන්නා රාළ )

Why the man who had been talking about the Westminster protocols, transparencies, good governance etc etc in the public for so many decades has failed to put them in to practice hitherto ? “ කැමති අය දැන් හිට ගන්න අකමැති අය බිම වාඩි වෙන්න ". That was all people heard from him yesterday This is no way of conducting a Poll and how they have counted 4000 plus votes yesterday is still a mystery to me.  Can such people be trusted to represent us ?

A text message received from my daughter during the recent Father's Day celebrations made me rethink my father. How do I start the main question? He was a man of a few words. I got more of his physical appearance than my other siblings, but this quality of a few words, I was not endowed with. My younger brother has received it in abundance from him.  And as we know, creation has very mysterious ways of working and assembling things. He showed us the world literally by taking us to various places, but his world was not just confined to within our shores only. By introducing and encouraging us to read early, he managed to take us far beyond his physically confined shores. He has enjoyed his only overseas trip to Singapore immensely. He used to bring at least two books from the library every week, and we devoured them like vultures on a carcass. He wanted us to think freely and never to be afraid of asking questions. Though he was a man of few words, his political allegiance ...

This was my response to the below stated Bolg; http://srilankaunites.blogspot.com/2012/06/men-who-care.html#comment-form I enjoy reading and agree on most stated points. But if the trend had to be reversed and or to bring down to a very low level, then WOMEN has a very bigger role to play. Not as you say, conservatively dressing up, as such standards have No University acceptable standards, hence any one can interpret it to his or her own convictions and believes. I believe dress should act like a barbed-wire fence. It should be there to do the work it is there to do for but not obstructing the view. Now let me come to the point, how do Women have a big role to play in this situation. Mothers take pride in appreciating when her son does something uncalled for or bad protecting him by saying “Boys are Boys” and or “He is my Boy” and worst of all is calling him “Chip of the old bloke” . How many mothers send their Boy child to kitchen to learn how to pour a cup of Tea or cook a simpl...

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

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 ...
