𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒂𝒊𝒍 ( දුක් ගන්නා රාළ )

A murderer who was serving 25 years behind bars was released on medical grounds because he was the former president of the country. A boy hugged a girl on the stage to show his appreciation in one of the school performances, now both facing suspension for their immoral act on stage. A singer facing death threats now because she said not to drink water from one of the longest rivers in the world because it is highly polluted and full of parasites . A religious leader is going places preaching peace and equal rights, when he rules over one of the most corrupt nations in the world full of money launderers and child rapists , hiding behind walls and cloaks.

Beauty has no universally accepted standard and or definition. And sometimes one can’t help but fall in love with something seemingly has not a single beauty bone in its body. It was monstrous and fierce looking but I could not help falling in love with the moment I saw it for the first time. My feeling towards it was not an isolated one and all my siblings had the same feeling towards it. We had our very special name for it too. During school holiday times, we often visit up the country . Father was in civil service, so he had plenty of Rail passes to go with his position. On most occasions, we take a connecting train to the Fort Railway station to catch the upcountry bound Night mail train. By the time when we get there, the rain is already there and being loaded with stuffs for the departure. First thing first and we go locating the reserved compartment to dump our stuff and then run to the front of the train to see, what would be hauling us tonight through the we...

මොකක්ද මේකේ ඇත්ත කතාව?  මොඩයගේ පාළම! The story goes that while the engineer was away, the workers have fixed the Arches upside down and on his return found, there was very little he could do to correct it. Could this be right? What about the engineering designs? Anyone knows the real truth? Just curious. 

Who are those so-called Whistleblowers and Patriots popping up on many Social Media platforms suddenly? I confronted a few such people with genuine request to show us, where the funding comes from, but all my requests were either met with some වැට උඩ answers or total silence. Then I suddenly realized that some of my postings have been removed from those sites. One such site boasts that it would response to any query within a few hours. I requested the site to explain as to why seemingly innocuous request of mine was not met. It was met with deaf silence. Although, I can see online that they have seen my request. More than 24 hours later, I sent another and it is yet to be answered. That too had been read by someone again. This makes me wonder, who are these people really? Are they real Whistleblowers or they are here with hidden agendas and to blow someone else’s trumpets? Like any sensible person, you should also ask from them, where their funding comes from? Once you get to know the...

AMAZING FROZEN LEMONS ! Place the washed lemon in the freezer. Once frozen, get your grater, & shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on your foods! On vegetables, salad, ice cream, soup, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes, the list is endless. All the foods will get an unexpected wonderful taste! Most likely, you only think of lemon juice as vitamin C? Not anymore! What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste & adding new taste to your dishes? Lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself & that's what you've been wasting! Lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating toxic elements in the body. The surprising benefits of lemon are the miraculous ability to kill cancer cells! It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy!! Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will b...

I had been having some arguments with someone claiming to be a  True Patriot on one of the social Media platforms. This was one of my rejoinder to one of his posting. Now the so-called Patriot has taken steps, so my rejoinder will not be visible to other visitors there. Therefore, I have decided to post the exact rejoinder of mine here, so others can read it freely and  see the true colours of this so-called Patriot. Quote. First and foremost, let me apologize for dragging your innocent children into this conversation. I made a general comment after seeing what was going on in our society today but frankly, I was unaware that your children are living overseas in a much more safer and fairer place, unlike the paradise they were born. My sincere apology is extended to them as well. We all strive so hard, go overseas looking for work so that our next generation will be in a better position than us. And so if they choose an alien land as their next place o...

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.
