Teledrams & Censorships

Is there a Censor Board approval needed before any teledrama is allowed to be broadcast over any television network? I am aware that all films have to go through such a process before being allowed to go public. They will be graded according to the contents and based on the rating only they are allowed to be shown publically. Last night around 8.30, I saw one teledrama on one of the national television network and in which one person was threatening his fiancé/wife / mistress or whatever that he will set fire to the house following morning if the woman does not agree to his request, which was what I have no clue of. This is the prime time most kids watch televisions after attending their online classes and allowing such contents to be broadcast when most kids are watching is a crime. What happens here is allowing such brash threats to be made freely will give a notion that such behaviour in public or private is acceptable to formatting minds of the kids. I have seen on many social medi...

Colombo Airport Ratmalana

  This is the first-ever International Airport built on Sri Lankan soil. It was operational from 1942 to date without any significant interruption despite the country had to endure three decades of the separatist war. This is known as the Colombo Airport Ratmalana , located in a small city a few miles away from the heart of the capital. I was privileged to be able to travel from this airport a couple of times during my school days and those fond memories still linger. This was where I was first exposed to the joy of enjoying a cup of tea, poured from a real porcelain pot and to add more excitement, sugar and warm milk came in different porcelain vessels. I still remember that brown sugar was the norm then and I am sure many can reconnect to the ear that I was referring to. King Sasa's Exploits

Sorry, SLT You are Dialling the Wrong Number Again.

I do not think that I should spend more time to elaborate on the shoddy service provided by the Sri Lanka Telecom ( SLT ). Once it took me more than 90 minutes to upload a 200 MB ( less than 3 minutes) of video to YouTube and that will show how good their level of service. Once when someone claiming to be from SLT came to us and informed that now they are able to provide us Fiber Optic line connection, not only I was elated but jumped into subscribing to the new product line too. Nothing materialized and the shoddy service remains the same. After so many moons, Today, I got a call again from someone claiming to be from SLT and was trying to sell me the product once more. When I mentioned that I have already subscribed to it a long time ago only she drops the bomb on me. She said, this product has an inherited defect and that the landline will be dead if ever we encounter a power outage in the area and to overcome the issue that they have some power back up system for another a few e...
