The head of interrogation is now small and round. A small nose shades a thinning moustache. The eyes are behind glasses tinted to create assumptions of poor vision, ill health and slow reactions.

A friend spoke to me over the weekend about creating a social media (SM) application like Facebook as a product for Sri Lanka. I've been meaning to write about the trend towards creating SM apps and then hoping they'll boom like Facebook. Unfortunately the harsh truth is that its not going to happen. By 2010 Facebook has managed to pass MySpace, Bebo, Friendster, Orkut, hi5 and everyone else out there. Although the facts are clear, there are plenty of entrepreneurs creating SM apps that are similar to Facebook and trying [ ... ]

I haven’t been having much sleep lately due to this rather unbearable heat. Be it day or night, I just don’t get to sleep as I’m drenched in sweat and wondering what’s wrong with the world.In addition to that, having to get to work after just 3 [ ... ]

No one is born with strength, it is simply something we find as we move on.  I know of the woman who found it in the smile of her husband when she was in unbearable pain. I know of the boy who found it in his family’s past when he didn’t know where else to look. [...] [ ... ]

Silence can be a very ugly gesture. It keeps those we love from knowing how we truly feel about them. It leaves room for vicious interpretations. It causes distance between those who were once close. But for some people, silence is the best form of defense. However, these people don’t realize that the longer you stay silent, [...] [ ... ]

Photographs©Chulie de Silva Stereotyping of women apparently begins they say when the doctor says it’s a girl.  What my father heard when I was born was “It’s another girl!”  He said Cheers and was genuinely happy to see the arrival of another girl. But we always didn’t have  equal rights but we had plenty of opportunity [...] [ ... ]

so apparently this looks to be quite common around here.. I get random spammy comments on almost every blog post. It's getting annoying, and rather time consuming to delete and then delete forever? jeezz.. about viagra and acai berry pills and how good [ ... ]

In the middle of all that's happening in my life, I decided to go for a nice haircut.My hairdresser was delighted to see me, as always. He told me to let him do something he thinks is nice for a change. When he showed me the length he was going to take [ ... ]

Tonight there's gonna be a Breaks gig, somewhere in this town.The set looks like this. We've got five, yes five, new songs and a particularly rocky and kick arse feel to this one. Then, on Friday I'm off to Barcelona with C. It's all happening you know [ ... ]

Logic. It’s a tool used by the usually intelligent to help them understand unusually challenging situations.  It’s pasted on to the advice we give our friends. It’s hammered into the happiness we deny ourselves. It’s plugged into our plans for the future and it even helps craft the excuses we make about self destruction.  But ever so [...] [ ... ]

Sri Lanka is a land of clubs, associations, societies, governmental and non governmental organisations. Most of the first three have or try to have a dinner dance. The last two usually get by with some sort of award ceremony. Here’s a list of a few that are not well known. Some have appeared in posts [...] [ ... ]

They say everything happens for a reason and we all need reasons to help us cope with this cruel world. We need a reason to wake up in the morning and we need a reason to have a good night’s sleep. Our reasons may not always be the best ones to have. But if they keep [...] [ ... ]

Change is not always a bad thing.  A change of appearance can sometimes make us feel more desirable. A change of living arrangements can make us feel safer. A change of behaviour can make us realize our mistake. But not all change is good.  Sometimes change takes place a little too late and then all you can do [...] [ ... ]

The time has come. I've been sitting, waiting and contemplating, as the song goes, not that I can recall which one. Enough's enough, even where parental discretion is concerned. Yes K, my thirteen year old bundle of feminine hormones, mood swings and a [ ... ]
