We, Sri Lankans, are keen in making changes at err.. highest level possible. For example if a certain medication doesn’t cure a runny nose in two days, we change the doctor! That’s basically our approach in just about anything. If we don’t like something, and we expect it to be different, we want things to [...]

I’m not going to discuss whether it’s politically correct; because I don’t know; but why? Regardless of the facts on paper, I think we all know why..

Government took him into custody at great risk of international influence and potential blow to the vote base in the General Elections due in April. It has already provoke [...]

අපේ සමාජයේ විනයක් නෑ කියන එක දැන් හැමෝම කියනවා නේ. හබැයි විනය නෑ කියන්නේ අනිත් අයගේ, තමන්ගේ එහෙම විනයේ අඩුවක් නෑ හුඟ දෙනෙකුට.ඔය කොහොම උනත් සමහරු කියනවා නේ හමුදාවේ විනය හදපු විදිහටම සමාජයෙත් විනය හදන්න පුලුවන් කියලා. ඉතින් ඒ ගැනයි මේ මම ලියන්න ලෑස්තිය.එදිනෙදා ජීවිතයේදී වැඩිම විනය කඩකිරීම් මම දකින්නේ මාර්ග නීති පිලිපැදීම සම්බන්ධයෙන්. විනයක් [...]

Firecrackers disturbed my sleep. Got up to realize it’s midnight.I’m feeling sorry for all the dogs, cats and all those domestic animals who get dead scared by these fucked-up, insane humans who enjoy making so much noise.Personally, this was the first new year’s eve for me in Sri Lanka since 2005; and that too, I [...]

I have openly supported Sihala Urumaya and then Jathika Hela Urumaya from their inception. I have made monetary contributions to their funds and participated in their campaigns. And I don’t regret. They have delivered what I expected from them. But for the future, I have concerns.JHU is fundamentally a Sinhala Nationalist party; but within them, [...]

There’s at least one another person in Sri Lankan blog-sphere making comments by the names “Mahasen” / “Mahasen Bandara”. I know quite a few Mahasens’ and there could be other Mahasen Bandaras’ as well; But I’ve been the sole Mahasen Bandara in the Sri Lankan blog-sphere for a while now; so it’s annoying to see someone else [...]

I thought I wouldn’t vote, but Sarath Fonseka made me think twice. And I went on to discuss and analyze the situation with few friends.Of the things I didn’t like about Mahinda’s governance, first is the supposedly Taliban style laws. But a closer look reveals that laws themselves aren’t Taliban type but the people who [...]

It’s been a while since I ranted about what’s going on in my life;Haven’t been taking much photos lately; mostly because I was in Colombo focused on other stuff. But I’m going to dedicate the first two weeks of October for photography! Yeah; I’m going to take a vacation between jobs – that’s the other [...]
