Speaking My Mind Aloud !

Speak my mind aloud in Social media sites is something I do often.

I am not a fool to believe, after reading such brash and sometimes controversial looking comments that that I post, there will be a drastic in the readers mind.

Some respond with their views.

More responses received will help me to be more accommodative.

That is what I expect.

Some posts go viral and many others go unnoticed.

Speaking my mind aloud is to broaden my thinking.

Not to change the way others think.

How one thinks can only be changed by oneself alone.

Others can be part of the self improvement process but nothing will come about unless YOU decided to take the first step.

Adding Three New Phrases to the Sinhala Language.

Year 2015 ended not with much to celebrate.

Only good thing it had was adding three new phrases to the Sinhala language.

“ කලු තඩියගේ බජට් එක වගේ “

(To describe starting something with so much promise but ending up with nothing but Zero outcome).

“ සිරිසෙනයි බෙරෙසියර් එකයි වගේ “

(To describe a situation when there are thousands of other burning and pressing issues there to talk about, paying undue attention to something others can’t see in their Naked eyes).

“ බුලතාගේ කෙල්ල වගේ “

(To describe a Itchy bitchy daughter of a very (so-called) strict disciplinarian).

Show me a Humane Way Please !

People expect them to be treated well always.

And insist that "treat other the same way you wanted to be treated in life".

What a paradoxical statement it is.

Are only humans come under this "fair treatment bullshit".

How about animals?

Are they not entitled to the same level of treatment?

Why not?

Can someone enlighten me please?

Asses on Wheels

It was terrible weather last evening, when we were heading home.

The weather warning was amply conveyed on the overhead electronic display boards on the E 01 with a request to reduce speed to 60 Kmps because of the slippery road condition and poor visibility.

Did anyone heed to it?

When the police should have been out there in force to show their presence was sadly missing and only time I saw a police vehicle on the road near one of the accident sites.

Other days, when the Sun is out, they play what small kids do (Hide & Seek) but come rain and where they disappear into, I have no clue.

Has anyone been convicted basing on CCTV footage?

The journey that normally takes me to do in 1 hour and 20 minutes took me more than two hours to complete due to weather last night.

But the weather was not the only factor it took so long.

I say it was due to so many “Asses on Wheels” on the E 01 last evening.

I do not mind people being disrespectful to them but I am worried about our personal safety when many do not heed to warnings and trying to flaunt their wealth, stupidity and F#@&*%$ driving skills that may endanger another’s life.

I do not want to be just another statistic, just because of your stupidity and arrogance.

Keep your show-offs to yourself and tries your driving skills on a track specially designed for that and not on public roads please.

Not To Give You Sleepless Nights

I see the right words right in front of me

But unable to grab them with my tongue lately

Sign of old age or something more sinister

I am clueless, but prefer the former.



Rearing kids to face the future

The prime duty of a parent

This does not mean giving you sleepless nights

But to prepare you

As I had been in the past.



My speech may no longer be coherent

This does not mean the thoughts are in the same league

I can still run, toggle, fast forward and rewind memories

And enjoy every moment of it

Despite my apparently impassive looks.



I am not a prisoner stuck in an old body

I am still a happy bird free to roam the world

Taste the food that I once loved

Read a book and enjoy watching kids play

But these are now done in my mind only.

Unmasking ?

In everyone’s life, it is said that each one will get Three (03) Teachers, Three (03) Friends, Three (03) Enemies and Three (03) Lovers.

Unfortunately, they all are disguised and to know which is which with certainty , one has to learn from, trust, fight and love them equally, one time or the other.

At the end, you would be able to unmask all.

What was It running away from then ?

Life crawls to dry land

Once, million years ago

Was it to seek refuge or better life?

What was it running away from then?

War of some sort or degradation

Answers we would never know.



Life crawling back in to sea again

Millions years later

This time around

We know what it is running away from

The meaningless wars

Humiliations and degradations.



Living is going through circles

And have we come to the point

Where it all started

Once, million years ago.
